New Fraps

A new Version 3.5.4 of the FPS measurement, benchmarking and video capture utility FRAPS has been released. This version improves capture speed for D3D8 games and fixes two bugs.

A new Version 3.5.5 of the FPS measurement, benchmarking and video capture utility FRAPS has been released. This fixes several bugs.

A beta version of FRAPS has been made available to private testers. This version is 3.5.6 Build 15316 beta. It is not available to the public, or regular customers, and no new list of feature improvements is available. It may, however, signify that a new version should be expected some time soon.

A new Version 3.5.6 of the FPS measurement, benchmarking and video capture utility FRAPS has been released. This version fixes several audio-related bugs.

A new Version 3.5.7 of the FPS measurement, benchmarking and video capture utility FRAPS has been released. This version fixes several bugs.

A new Version 3.5.8 of the FPS measurement, benchmarking and video capture utility FRAPS has been released. This version fixes several bugs.

A new Version 3.5.9 of the FPS measurement, benchmarking and video capture utility FRAPS has been released. This version fixes two bugs.

Indeed, 3.5.9 build 15586 still does not work with DWM in Windows 8 (This is the desktop screen capture). This is likely because of the Start Screen and large number of changes in WDDM.
