Arma III + Fraps = Blackscreen

[EmirSc 10]

so if you have fraps open and you run arma 3 the game wont start i use MSI afterburner to check temps, fps. its not a big deal but its there.

I've used both Fraps and Afterburner, no problems here. Perhaps it's a symptom of another issue.

I've tested, running fraps, black screen/crash, close fraps run again and the game starts normal.

I have the same problem. Fraps + alpha = black screen, monitor turns off.

What's odd, game actually loads, because I can exit with Alt + F4, and then monitor turns on again. Strange.

So MSI Afterburner works? I'll try that.

No problems with Fraps here. I've tried fps-counter, screenshots and filming.

What versions are you using? I have version 3.5.9 Build 15586 (Licensed). Not sure if it's the latest, but I downloaded it about two months ago so it's pretty recent.

No problems here with Fraps 3.5.99 build 15618 (licensed version).

Had the same prob! If you want fraps to run, start arma3 alt tab out of game, then start fraps then it works!

Had it not start with afterburner the first time, now it starts fine for some reason, not changed a thing afaik.

Fraps woks for me now.

What I did is: start Fraps, and then start the game from Steam, not the desktop shortcut.
