As you might have noticed I try to record the progress of development of the game „Endless Space 2“ which is currently in Alpha Stage.  Currently they pushed Update 0.2.3 which has several improvements.

Screen Recording with MSI Afterburner and RivaTunerStatisticsServer

Software which is (also) capable of DirectX 12 Recording seem to be found.
MSI Afterburner  (which includes RivaTunerStatisticsServer Ver. 6.5.1 ) is able to record DirectX 12 games (e.g. Battlefield 1)

Here is the evidence:

MSI Afterburner is available completely free of charge and can be used with graphics cards from all brands.

• To Set Up Screen Recording in Afterburner go to Settings

• Navigate to Video Capture and set a hotkey.

You can also display FPS, CPU, GPU, Temps etc. under „Monitoring“

Some time ago i was a big fan of the Google Nexus Devices. I owned the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S and LG Nexus 5. Great devices with a good price/quality ratio.

So 2013 I bought a Neuxs 7 (2013) from ASUS. 1 year I was very satisfied with it until it bricked after an android update:

I’ve posted a coment on productreviews.google.com https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/nPOYCumV-Yw

but i had warranty and i sent it back to ASUS for fixing it. I got it back with a fixed Mainboard-Chip. OK i thought and moved on… 1 year later the display bricked. I bought a new display at amazon and fixed the issue:

After fixing it I was lucky and calm, i enjoyed the spirit of a  self-repair-session.

I bought a new case/bumper for the Nexus so that this issue will never happen again. A cool case at amazon…. nevermind. I thought it will be safe… but i forgot the enemy within ….

I enjoyed the tablet, planned to implement it in the car for a cool navigation solution… Then again a new system update popped up ….. and the bootloop happened again.. F*cking update-greed. I spent several hours to fix  it (recreated partitions, installed several images but the internal memory seem to be unaccessible). A Nexus Deja Vu… but now warranty is GONE….

So my conclusion. Nexus Devices were cool… then. As the prices rises, and the quality decrease… better look for alternatives.
