How to Fix Severe Lag When Recording Games in Nox App Player

If you experience severe lag when starting game recording with oCam, you can resolve the issue by changing the settings as described below. In particular, if you are using Nox App Player, follow these steps to reduce lag and achieve smoother recording.


First, launch Nox App Player. After the program starts, click the gear-shaped icon in the upper-right corner of the screen to open the Settings menu. This icon is generally used to access system settings.

 

When the Settings window opens, select the 'Advanced Settings' tab from the menu on the left. In the Advanced Settings screen, find the 'Graphics Mode' option and change it to 'Speed Mode (DirectX)'. This setting optimizes performance by using system resources more efficiently and is especially effective for reducing lag during game recording. After making the change, click the 'Save Settings' button to apply it.


After saving the settings, you must completely close and restart Nox App Player. Once it restarts, the changed graphics mode will be applied, which can reduce lag and provide smoother performance when recording games with oCam.


This method is useful for resolving performance issues that occur when using Nox App Player together with oCam. If the problem continues after changing the settings, it is recommended to check your system specifications or review other oCam settings, such as frame rate and resolution, for additional optimization.

If oCam is already running, restart it. Then in the oCam main window, click Codec - External Codec, check the Use External Codec box,

and select Lagarith Lossless Video from the list.


After selecting it, click Settings. The settings window opens as shown below. Usually you can leave it as is, but you can adjust it according to your environment.

Therefore, this codec is generally better suited for editing purposes.
