Battlefield 4 was messing around with ShadowPlay and we needed to restart system in order to use ShadowPlay again in other games. However ShadowPlay was not willing to work with Battlefield 4 (Origin Edition). ShadowPlay worked with all Steam games we had installed including Bathman: Arkham Origins, Bioshock Infnite, Dirt Showdown, Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider 2013. The preference window shown in the image below cannot be opened from Geforce Experence but only from ShadowMode window by pressing preferences button. The preferences button took us from the ShadowPlay window to the new window in the Geforce Experience. Both important commands, Alt+F9 (toggle manual recording on/off and save) and Alt+F10 (save shadow recording) worked for us in the 'Shadow&Manual' mode. But in the other two modes ShadowPlay worked for us. If it is set to Manual mode then ShadowPlay will not work once you are in the game. In current beta version ShadowPlay worked for us in two out of three given modes. This is done simply by clicking a button that visually resembles an old power switch. Note you have to enable ShadowPlay in order to make it work in games. With two shortcuts, one for ShadowPlay and the other for Geforce Experience, we were able to start Geforce Experience and then launch ShadowPlay. Other settings include video quality (low, medium, high) and in-game audio (enabled / disabled). Manually you can record even longer videos, if you are not limited by storage. ShadowPlay recoding time can be set between 1 and 20 minutes. This way you will launch directly into to the ShadowPlay where you can adjust some settings. The only thing you have to do is to add string ‘-shadowplay’ to the Geforce Experience shortcut. One simple trick allowed us to launch ShadowPlay on the Alienware. The screenshot is taken on a desktop system. On the next image you can see what the ShadowPlay button looks like. The next images show Geforce Experience running on our Alienware 17 with the message ‘ShadowPlay is not ready’. The problem is that in the installed Geforce Experience we could not find the ShadowPlay button. Normally when you want to use ShadowPlay you launch Geforce Experience and you press the ‘ShadowPlay’ button. We tried ShadowPlay using an Alienware 17 which is equiped with the Geforce GTX 780M and we can confirm that ShadowPlay now works as advertised, but we had to resort to a few tricks along the way. Support came with the mobile driver version 331.82 released on November 19. However at that time ShadowPlay lacked support for mobile Geforce GPUs. Nvidia added ShadowPlay support to Geforce Experience when they introduced the Geforce GTX 780 Ti.
