Ask a long-time Lineage II player which moments they most want to keep and most will say castle sieges. Clan members massing at the gate and pushing in, or holding the seal at the last second, is much faster to show as video than to explain in chat. Lineage II became a DOR full-session recording game in the October 2026 app update. When you launch Lineage II on a Windows PC, DOR detects it and saves everything from launch to exit as one video. On siege day, though, that can mean hours from muster to cleanup, and on normal days hunting, instance dungeons and town errands all land in the same file. This guide focuses on picking and combining the scenes worth sharing with your clan from that long recording.
Leave it on for siege day, turn it off for grinding
You never know when the decisive moment of a siege will come, so it is safer to start recording before the clan musters. Recording hours of ordinary grinding, on the other hand, fills the disk fast while giving you little to show. Many players turn Lineage II full-session recording on only on days with a siege or clan schedule. For general checks that keep a multi-hour session recording smoothly to the end, see how to record long gameplay sessions.
Turning a siege recording into a clan video
- 1Check Lineage II recording before the siegeIn DOR settings, look in the full-session recording group and confirm Lineage II is on. When it is, recording begins as soon as you launch the game on PC and continues until you exit.
- 2Use clan chat calls as time markersTaking notes mid-siege is hard, but if you remember roughly when calls like muster or push went out in clan chat, you can jump straight to that point in the recording later.
- 3Skim for the busiest fightsDrag through the playback bar quickly and you will spot moments where characters and skill effects suddenly pile up on screen. Skip the marching and only scrub back and forth around those spots to set your start and end.
- 4Trim each scene separatelyRun a separate trim for the gate breach, the inner fighting and the seal defense. Splitting into 1 to 3 minute pieces makes it easier to reorder or drop scenes later than cutting one long block.
- 5Merge them into a siege record in DOR StudioCombine the trimmed scenes in order in DOR Studio in your browser, and add text such as gate breach between them to make a clan record. Share the finished video as a link or download it as mp4.
- 6Paste the link in your clan noticePaste the dor.gg link into the clan notice or a group chat, and members who missed the siege can watch it in a browser without the app. Short moments like an enchant result are fine to send to one friend directly.
Picking scenes by Lineage II clan activity
| Clan activity | How to locate it in the recording | What to send |
|---|---|---|
| Siege gate breach | When the march ends and fighting starts at the gate | A record video merging several 1 to 3 minute scenes |
| Seal attempt and defense | Near the end of the siege, when clan chat floods | A single decisive one-minute clip |
| Instance dungeon clear | The final boss stretch after the instance loading screen | The full boss fight, for your party |
| Field PvP fight | Right after you meet a player whose name color changed in a hunting ground | A short clip of about 30 seconds |
| Item enchant result | From opening the enchant window to the result message | Under 10 seconds, 9:16 vertical |
Before you send it to the clan
- Lineage II recording was on before the siege began.
- Free disk space was comfortably above 20GB for hours of recording.
- The gate breach, inner fight and seal defense were trimmed separately.
- The scene order in the merged video matches how the siege actually went.
- Short clips like an enchant result run until the result message appears.
- Nothing private from clan chat or whispers is visible on screen.
How DOR records Lineage II
DOR is a free Windows desktop app. When you launch Lineage II, it detects the game and records until you close it as one mp4 video, with no automatic highlights that cut out sieges or PvP. You find scenes yourself in the app library, cut them with trim, pick 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, and share them as a dor.gg link. To combine trimmed siege scenes into one video, see how to merge game clips, and for setting precise start and end points, see how to trim game clips. Game sound and your mic are recorded together, so if your clan called the siege on voice, those voices stay in the video. On days you do not need it, you can turn Lineage II recording off on its own in settings, and a confirmation window appears once when you do.
