How to make Nvidia ShadowPlay work on FFXIV ARR?

[SirCampsalot]

ShadowPlay works quite well with FFXIV and there is nothing special that needs to be done to make it work with FFXIV. All you need to do is start up the Geforce Experience application, click on the ShadowPlay tab and then flip the switch so it's on. Then select which mode you want to record in (automatic or manual) and then press Alt+F9 to start/stop recording. Remember that ShadowPlay is still in beta so it's rather feature gimped at the moment. As for the game scanning, that's not the ShadowPlay application, that's the Geforce Experience application scanning your system for compatible games to optimize.

i finally got it to work. i never had a problem with my other games (dota, hearthstone etc). for some reason in FFXIV it wouldn't work. i even tried manually pressing the manual record and auto record. i double checked my settings to make sure it was running.

What got it to work for me was I un-installed the game and re-installed it. I installed it to a different location where most of my other games typically are. Launched FF and it worked! hope that helps anyone here.
