Fraps suddenly has a problem with recording Source games.

[Jayhawker30]

I used to be able to record to up around 60 fps in games using the source engine, but just recently, fps now drops to and stays at 9 after hitting record.

Anyone else encounter this problem? Or better yet, have a fix?

Use Source Recorder.

Or record to another HDD.

Tone down AA/AF, that usually fixes it (at least it did with me, going down from 8x both Anti Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering to 2x made recording almost unnoticeable)

And it's always a good idea to record to another internal HDD, external ones are generally worse than recording to the same hard drive.
