According to Bandicam's FPS counter, I get a solid 30 FPS (or 60 when I turn off the FPS limit on the game) whenever the recorder's not turned on, resulting in very smooth and lagless gameplay. However, when I turn it on, the FPS counter goes a bit haywire... Well not exactly haywire, but it doesn't give a steady 30 FPS, it ranges around 10 to 29, and the game becomes very choppy.
I have tested Bandicam on more advanced games, like Dead Space, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, and Fallout 3, etc. And I find it very odd that Jade Empire would act like this with the recorder. I know my graphics and rig is fine... (nVidia Geforce 9800 GT) so I would like to know if this issue is known?
Also, lowering the graphical settings does not help one bit. The FPS counter seems to disappear when I turn on Anti-aliasing as well.
