How to Fix the Issue of 7 Days to Die Not Being Detected for Game Recording (Anti-Cheat Related)
When recording a game with oCam, problems may occur if a game with an AntiCheat feature is running. AntiCheat software may block recording software or cause conflicts, which can prevent oCam from working properly. Below is a detailed explanation of how to solve this problem and record games smoothly with oCam.
To resolve problems caused by the AntiCheat feature, you can launch the game without AntiCheat enabled. You can use an option provided by Steam or run a specific game executable directly to bypass AntiCheat. Below are two methods:
Method 1: Launch the game from Steam without AntiCheat
1. Launch the Steam client and select the game you want to record (for example, 7 Days to Die) from your Library.
2. On the game's detail page, click the blue 'Play' button.
3. When the launch options window appears, select the 'Launch Without AntiCheat' option.
4. The game will launch without AntiCheat, allowing normal recording with oCam.
Method 2: Run the game executable directly
For some games, you can disable AntiCheat by running the executable directly from the Steam library folder. For example, in the case of 7 Days to Die:
1. Go to the Steam library path. The default path is `SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\`.
2. In that folder, find the `7DaysToDie.exe` file and double-click it to run it.
3. When launched this way, AntiCheat is automatically disabled, and you can record the game in oCam without any issues.
Applying the methods above can resolve conflicts caused by AntiCheat and allow you to record the game smoothly with oCam. However, disabling AntiCheat may cause restrictions in online multiplayer mode, so make sure your recording is intended for offline play or single-player mode. If the problem persists, using the latest game patch or the latest version of oCam may also help.

What to Do If the "Failed to url_fopen" Error Message Appears and Recording Does Not Start
When creating a recording file in oCam, an error may occur if the file cannot be saved to the save path specified by the user. This issue is usually caused by access permissions for the save path or an incorrect path setting. Below is a detailed explanation of how to change the save path to resolve this problem.
To fix the recording file save error, the most effective method is to change oCam's save path to a different location. Please follow the steps below:
1. In the oCam main window, click 'Tools' in the top menu, then select 'Options'.
2. When the Settings window opens, click the 'Save' category in the left menu.
3. In the 'Save' tab, find the 'Save Path' item, check the currently configured path, and change it to a new location.
4. After making the change, click the 'OK' button to save the settings.
By default, it is recommended to set the save path to the Desktop. The Desktop generally has the access permissions needed for all programs to create files, so save errors are less likely to occur. For example, if you set the Desktop path to `C:\Users\[User Name]\Desktop`, in most cases the recording file will be saved without errors.
After changing the save path, restart oCam and try recording again to check whether the problem has been resolved. If the issue continues, it is also a good idea to check whether the selected folder has write permission and whether there is enough disk space.
