Hi Everyone,

We have just release a new big update for Action!
Please find the changelog for this version below:

- Final fixes and improvements for Windows 11 24H2 update (new update is now working just like on 23H2)
- Added real time video zoom that is following mouse cursor position. You can set the zoom amount in Settings-Video using "max. Zoom list". The default hotkey for turning zoom on/off is CTRL+PGUP and can be customized in hotkeys tab. When zoom is activated you will see a yellow frame around your screen.
- Improved performance for Windows 11 24H2 update
- Added "Entire desktop capture" to Active Screen list. This allows easy capture of all monitors in a single video using "Screen" mode.
- Important fixes for VRR capture mode (Variable Refresh Rate)
- Zero lag real time preview
- Added red frame around Action! main window when recording/streaming is in progress (Windows 11)

Hi Everyone,

This update fixes problems with Nvidia RTX 5000 GPUs.

Changelog:
- FIXED support for Nvidia RTX 5070/5080/5090 GPUs (444 recording is not working as CUDA is not working properly for this GPU, fix in drivers is needed)
- FIXED support for Windows Server 2025
- FIXED automatic HDR detection for Windows 11 24H2 update

Hi Everyone!

First of all, we would like to wish you a Happy New 2025 Year!

This release was supposed to be ready before Christmas but finally it's ready.
What's new in this update:

- Added new capture mode (Variable Refresh Rate) which allows intelligent video capture synchronized with display's v-sync, minimizing recorded file size and lowering power consumption and CPU/GPU use (please note that in this mode the video framerate is the maximum framerate at which the video will be captured - from 1fps to the value selected)
- Fixed 444 DirectX 9 (and older DirectX) recording (please note that DirectX 9 is recorded in 422 format and stored in 444)
- Fixed problems with region recording/streaming in multi-display setups
- Movement of selected region is now possible during recording/streaming
- Added "Show welcome screen" option that allows omitting Action! welcome screen (Settings->General last option on the list)
- Added support for video capture from any video streaming service using Google Chrome browser (enter Action! Game Mode and start video using Chrome browser)
- Stability improvements

Please note that currently Facebook integration is not working (direct streaming to your Facebook wall using Facebook API and account manager). Streaming to Facebook is still possible using URL/Streamkey method. After trying to log in to your Facebook account you will see a message that Mirillis Streamer App is not working. We are working on a new app that should be ready this month. Please forgive us for this inconvenience.

Hi Everyone!

First of all we are sorry for any problems you might have had with Action! after upgrading to the latest 24H2 Windows 11 version. This update is very big and changes a lot in Windows architecture (that's why there are words it should be called Windows 12).

Most of the Windows 11 display core has changed and the desktop no longer uses a "swap chain" presentation model. Instead Direct Display is now used and allows direct rendering of desktops with any framerate to the display devices. Also multiplane overlays are now used on all supporting hardware (you can check for MPO3 support in Dxdiag application for you GPU).

Some of you may know what Multiplane overlays are and what headache they can cause (including game flickering/crashing etc.). Since there is no official information on how to disable MPO in the system (there was a magic registry key but it is not working anymore) we are going to provide a small app called MPOOFF that can disable Multiplane Overlays deep in the system. It will be available for download on our Remotly product website remotly.com soon (on the community page).

How Multiplane overlays work? In short these are hardware accelerated graphics/video planes that are composed using special hardware offloading GPU 3D core. In the past this composing was done in DWM (Desktop Window Manager) using 3D shaders, sharing processing power with 3D apps and games.

Below please find all fixes for 24H2 included in version 4.43.0:

- Fixed HUD in desktop mode (fix for Windows 11 24H2 update)
- Fixed automatic HDR detection for games (fix for Windows 11 24H2 update)
- Fixed audio recording from selected application (fix for Windows 11 24H2 update)
- Fixed drawing panel (fix for Windows 11 24H2 update)
- Improved HUD refresh in desktop mode
- Fixed capturing Windows Store games (in Game Mode) when WindowsApps folder is root (C:\) folder

Hi Everyone!

This update fixes streaming to Facebook LIVE. It was not working for the past few months after recent changes from Meta Corp. Both URL/Streamkey and direct streaming to Facebook wall (using Account Manager) are now working.

In this update we have added support for Time-Shift in Window (Window Picker) and Capture Device modes.

List of all changes in this update:
- Added Time-Shift (loop buffer) support for selected window mode
- Added Time-Shift (loop buffer) support for device capture mode
- Added support for middle mouse button as hotkey
- Added screenshot shutter sound option
- Added automatic screenshots sequence with time interval
- Fixed problems in Window recording mode (window picker)
- Performance improvements when running Action! in non-administrator mode

Hi Everyone!

In the latest Action! update we are introducing 444 recording support to allow pixel perfect capture of desktop and games! You can now enjoy super crisp recordings on the latest Intel and Nvidia GPUs.
Please check the "Hardware acceleration" drop down list to see if HEVC 444 is supported on your system.

Please find the complete list of changes in this update below:
- Added pixel perfect recording in HEVC 444 video format (for latest Intel and Nvidia GPUs)
- Fixed GPU memory leaks
- Added camera shutter sound after screenshot capture
- Changed recording date formatting (sort friendly)
- Window picker improvements
- Improvements for HDR capture devices (tone-mapping detection etc.)
- Performance and stability improvements

In the next update Action! will include full support for AV1 codec.

Hi Everyone!

W have just uploaded an update that includes changes from Action! 5.x:

- Major improvements for HDR capturing devices (Avermedia, Elgato/Corsair)
- Added automatic HDR signal detection and tone mapping for Avermedia and Elgato devices
- Fixed auto HDR detection for Steam games in Screen and Game capture modes
- Added color format selection for webcams and capturing devices (RGB, YUY2, NV12, P010 etc.)
- Added HUD in Device Capture mode
- Added browser overlay scaling (50-300% useful for displaying live chat on HUD in 4K)
- New advanced HDR to SDR tone mapper
- New improved SDR/RGB to HDR conversion for graphics/web browser/camera overlays in HDR mode

This release contains a critical fix for auto HDR detection which stopped working after one of the latest Steam platform updates.

Hi Everyone,

This update addresses a problem with the newest Nvidia drivers. Video resolutions that are aligned (in height) to 32 pixels were not encoded properly.

Additionally you can also try the beta APK of Action! RCU 2.0 app for Android. The link to the download is available in the changelog. The app is now compatible with Android 13 (API 33+).

After beta tests it will be uploaded to the Google Play Store and later updated with a new app that will show real time preview of the recording/stream on mobile devices, offloading preview rendering from the GPU.

Dear All,

Please forgive us for the bug introduced in version 4.37.0 (random recording/streaming stopping after pressing new hotkeys).
