Momentum Capture Engine Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start recording manually without waiting for a trigger?
Open the mod's keybind settings and assign a key to "Start Recording" and "Stop Recording." Press your assigned key in-game to begin capturing immediately, and press it again to stop—no menu needed.
What events can automatically start a recording?
The mod includes over thirty triggers like taking damage, landing critical hits, entering combat, activating abilities, and environmental events like falling or entering specific biomes. You can enable or disable any trigger in the configuration menu.
Why does my recording keep starting multiple times during one fight?
The mod has a spam-lock feature that ignores duplicate trigger events after the first one fires. Make sure this feature is enabled in your settings to prevent multiple recordings of the same encounter.
Can I set a time limit so recordings don't go on forever?
Yes—configure the auto-stop duration in the mod settings to end recordings after a set amount of time with no trigger activity, which helps manage storage space automatically.
I'm not hearing the sound effect when a recording starts. What's wrong?
Check that sound effects are enabled in the mod's audio settings and that your game volume isn't muted. Also verify that Flashback replay mod is working correctly, since this mod depends on it.
Does this mod work with other recording mods?
This mod is built as an extension for Flashback replay mod and requires it to function. Avoid running other automatic recording mods simultaneously, as they may conflict with trigger events.
How much storage space will recordings take up?
Storage depends on your video quality settings in Flashback and how often triggers fire during gameplay. Recording only action moments instead of continuous gameplay significantly reduces storage compared to always-on recorders.
Can I customize which triggers are active?
Yes—open the configuration file or in-game settings menu and toggle individual triggers on or off based on what moments matter to you.
What does the action bar text show me?
The action bar displays messages like "Recording started" or "Recording stopped" so you have visual confirmation of when captures begin and end, even if you miss the sound effect.
Why aren't my recordings saving even though the mod says it started?
Verify that Flashback replay mod is properly installed and that your replay folder has write permissions. Also check that you have enough free disk space and that no conflicting mods are interfering with file output.
