Anyone record gameplay with Afterburner?

Long story short, I do YouTube videos of gameplay.

I use MSI Afterburner.

I can *not* for the life of me get it to take screenshots or record game footage with the game in borderless windowed mode, or windowed mode, ONLY in true fullscreen.

I hate true fullscreen. Means I can't tab out for crap while in queue.

It works just fine in other games but for some blinking reason it refuses to work right in FFXIV.

Halp?

Same with Nvidia Shadowplay. I only can record it with fullscreen only. Maybe I could suggest to use Bandicam or Fraps :)

Not buying either of those. FRAPS is a bloated machine anyways. MSI works perfectly fine in every other game, and it works in this one after a little playing around to set it to record as if it's recording my desktop(makes 0 sense to me) but there's got to be another way to fix it.

And Bandicam sucks.

Hasn't failed me yet. It streams/records just fine.

Oh I just know this. Thanks!

I have had that problem when I was playing on DX9. Since I switched to DX11, Afterburner has been recording and screenshotting perfectly in windowed mode. (It also recently updated, don't know if that's related.)

Now if only I could run DX11 without it spontaneously closing the game during Alexander.... which is why I stopped using it :(
