Why is NVIDIA Recording My Fortnite Anyway?
Ah, the plot thickens! NVIDIA, in its infinite wisdom, has a feature called "Highlights" that automatically captures your most...well, let's say interesting moments in-game. This can be a cool way to snag those epic wins, but for the rest of us mere mortals, it might be more like a compilation of our most embarrassing deaths.
Enough is Enough! How Do I Stop This Madness?
Here's where things get exciting. There are two main culprits for NVIDIA's recording frenzy: Instant Replay and Highlights.
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
Instant Replay: This bad boy is constantly recording the last few minutes of your gameplay. So, if you get unexpectedly sniped from across the map, it'll dutifully capture your moment of glory...or shame.
To turn it off: Open up GeForce Experience (that little green shield icon in your taskbar) and click the settings cog in the top right corner. Under the "General" tab, find "In-Game Overlay" and disable "Instant Replay." Easy peasy!
Highlights: This feature automatically saves specific moments like eliminations and victories.
To tame the Highlights beast: Follow the same steps as above for Instant Replay, but instead, navigate to the "Highlights" tab and turn it off for Fortnite specifically.
Pro Tip: If you're feeling fancy, you can customize what kind of moments Highlights captures. Maybe you only want to save those clutch wins, not every time you get pickaxed by a rogue banana.
But Wait, There's More!
Feeling liberated from the recording eye of NVIDIA? Excellent! But before you go forth and dominate Fortnite, here are some Frequently Asked Questions (because, let's face it, we've all been there):
