I tried with fraps(3.5.9) wich works for many other games, but in hawken the fps drops to less than 50% from before, and I get constant 0.2 seconds freezing every 1 second.
greetings

pm me for hire :)

You sure you're setting it up properly ?

Someone asked the same question and there's quite a few answers there. Plus, I've put some video compression things there also

I have tried the lowest possible settings, half-size recording, 60-50 fps and graphics on low.
Running the game on low graphics the fraps fps overlay is on 100-120 fps.
When recording it starts with ~50fps, wich is ok, but when fighting it drops down and freezes a bit every second.
Recording on full size gives me constant lags.
recordings go to my internal hdd on the default filepath(c:/fraps/movies). Audio recording is Stereo
I'm running hawken with game booster.
Don't know what else I should add, maybe pc specs
AMD FX-6100 6core 3.3Ghz
2GB Nvidia GTX660
16gb Ram
When I'm home I'll try installing the 310.70 drivers for nvidia(currently 310.90 wich seem to make problems),
but I don't think that will change too much...or maybe it does

Can you screencap every tab of your Fraps settings? I've heard that AMD CPU's aren't exactly the best, and Fraps is very CPU intensive. It MAY have something to with that fact, but I won't assume it is until you've provided me with more information. If you're serious about recording gameplay though, I suggest getting a high-quality HDD to record exclusively to. Make sure it has a lot of space, as I have actually recorded over 1.7 TB in 1 gaming session before. My HDD holds up to 3 TB.

FYI, my fraps record settings:
 
I'd recommend you uncheck "lock framerate ...", but even while recording, the FPS counter will show your record framerate
I'm recording to a WD Caviar Green 2TB (SATA 3) and my CPU is an Intel Core i7-920 @ 2.66GHz

I record at 85% MJPEG at 1920x1200, then throw it into Sony Vegas. As for the hard drive I record to... I totally forget, but it's an external. As mentioned above, it's a good idea to record to an external, as it puts a whole lot less strain on your computer.

15 minutes 72 GB?!! I'll better record half size from now on or use my external.
Been wondering why my performance was getting lower when recording, then I stopped playing and looked at the files O.O
And I should finally move my animes in my download folder ...

That's what i meant XD. Voice recording won't make that much of a difference, so it's obviously not the cause, lol. Are you recording @ 1920x1080 or bigger? cause that's the only explanation I can come up with to justify that large of a file. I wouldn't worry about it though, because when you get some time, I would compress those files right down, it'll save space and make playback and uploading a lot better
