[Ydiss]

I tried Fraps and was incredibly dissapointed. It reduced my performance to 6fps and lower, despite having an above average PC. I understand that my old HD would suffer (only 5400 RPM) but still, this is not practical to play and record yourself.

It'd be ok if you recorded in spectator mode, however.

EA will never add demo options, they aren't that well tuned into this community (or any similar community) to worry about things like that.

When I say tuned in I mean someone who actively improves their games based on customer feedback with a frequency of more than once per game/expansion.

If FRAPS is all that's available then it's a shame. Unless I'm doing something wrong and I shouldn't be getting 6 fps.

Just in case, my system is:

Athlon XP 2000+ (1.67Ghz)
512 DDR PC1200 RAM
Geforce3 64 MB DDR
Gigabyte Mboard (can't remember exact specs but it has 1.4Ghz+ support)
