I'm experiencing the same issue but only when the window is full screen. Try changing video to windowed or borderless, this works for me.

Hello update.

This strangely worked and enabled me to record 30 seconds

And then it started doing the bug splat crash from nowhere again, With windowed mode, and with borderless.

Really frustrating am just trying to record plays have all other apps completely closed.

Already lost enough play recordings through patch updates. Now it simply crashes without recording now, and if I am scrubbing through a replay it will just crash within 5 minutes.

It was gotten worse over time. The first time i re-installed it let me record about a minutes worth before crashing repeatedly again.

Now after re-install i tried borderless and it also let me record a bit as a i said, before just continuously crashing again.

Even without hitting the record button now

Hi I think I found a possible fix run in windowed mode and change vertical height while recording to 1080p form 1440 :) [sg-kiko]

I was just having this problem and could not find a solution anywhere online. I was able to finally resolve the problem by adjusting the vertical resolution for recording under the video settings. You will only see these settings when you are in the replay tool. Load your replay, press esc to access the menu, go to Video, scroll down a little bit to the capture/recording settings and make sure that your vertical resolution is set at or lower than your current video resolution settings for the game,which are at the top of the menu. Hope this helps someone
