Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 recording troubleshooting
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 recording causes lag or FPS drops
DOR uses GPU hardware encoding for low-overhead capture, so the impact is small. If it still struggles, switch to 720p/30fps mode in settings.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 records as a black screen in fullscreen
DOR captures fullscreen, windowed and borderless modes alike, and switches to monitor capture on games that block game capture, so you don't get a black screen.
Will a recorder get my Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 account banned?
DOR has no cheat features and never modifies game files or your gameplay data, it only captures video. Where anti-cheat blocks the capture hook, DOR switches to monitor capture to record your Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 session.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 recording FAQ
Does DOR record both the campaign and multiplayer?
Campaign and multiplayer launch as separate executables and DOR detects both, so either one records from launch to exit.
How do I save a kill as a clip?
Press F8 right after a play and the previous 30 seconds are saved as a clip. Your whole session is recorded as well, so you can also trim the part you want out of the recording.
How do I keep just the DMZ extraction?
Press F8 right after you extract and the previous 30 seconds are saved. For a longer moment, raise the clip length to 60 seconds in settings or trim it out of the session recording.
Is it free? Is there a watermark?
DOR is free and adds no watermark.
Will it drop frames while playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4?
DOR uses low-overhead background capture, so the impact on in-game FPS is negligible.
What specs do I need?
Windows 10 or later runs DOR on most machines. Low-spec PCs can use 720p/30fps mode.
Can I change the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 recording key?
You can remap the clip-save and manual-record keys to any key in DOR settings.
Where are my recorded clips saved?
Clips are organized in the DOR app library and can be shared to the DOR community or via link.
Is there a limit on recording time or clip count?
No time or count limits. Full gameplay recordings are managed inside a 5GB allowance by default, and once it fills up the oldest recordings you have not liked are cleared first. Recording will not start when disk space runs low, so keep at least 30GB free.
