I need some help with recording

[Wesker]

So I downloaded the OBS (Open broadcast software recorder) watched some tutorials and set it up, i get the general idea of how to record freelancer but the problem is when i preview the recording or attempt to start the recording. Nothing appears on the preview screen, I got a warning for encoding settings being to high, i tweaked them down as low as possible with no luck.

Also when i attempt open the freelancer game window while previewing the recording the game crashes.

Is there any other recording software i could use for free? If anyone doesn't mind helping me I would much appreciate it, I really want to setup a you tube channel and record some videos. Maybe even make some tutorials.

Thanks in advance!
