## Platform Notes
-### Windows and Linux
-
-On Windows and Linux, Session Replay continuously encodes the game's backbuffer into a rolling video clip that's attached to crash reports captured by the native crash handler. It relies on hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding and has the following requirements:
-
-- **The `AVCodecsCore` and `NVCodecs` engine plugins must be enabled** in your project. The Sentry plugin only compiles the recorder when these are present.
-- **An NVIDIA GPU with a recent driver is required.** Encoding goes through NVIDIA NVENC; machines without a compatible NVIDIA GPU fall back to no recording (the feature self-disables and logs a warning). The engine's NVENC integration requires a minimum NVIDIA driver version of **531.61 on Windows** and **530.41 on Linux**. On Linux, the proprietary NVIDIA driver is required — NVENC isn't available with the open-source Nouveau driver.
-- **A plugin rebuild is required after toggling the setting.** Whether Session Replay is compiled in is decided at build time from `AttachSessionReplay`, so after enabling or disabling it, delete your project's `Binaries` and `Intermediate` directories and rebuild.
+### Desktop (Windows, macOS, and Linux)
-
+On desktop platforms, Session Replay continuously encodes the game's backbuffer into a rolling video clip that's attached to crash reports captured by the native crash handler. Encoding is hardware-accelerated; the SDK automatically picks an encoder at runtime from the codec plugins enabled in your project:
-The most recent fraction of a second of footage (up to one fragment duration) may be missing from the attached clip, since the fragment being encoded at the moment of the crash isn't yet finalized.
+| Platform | Encoder | Engine plugins | GPU and driver requirements |
+| ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Windows** | NVIDIA NVENC | `AVCodecsCore`, `NVCodecs` | NVIDIA GPU with driver **531.61** or newer. |
+| **Windows** | AMD AMF | `AVCodecsCore`, `AMFCodecs` | AMD GPU with a recent Adrenalin driver. D3D11/D3D12 RHI only — not available when running with `-vulkan`. |
+| **Linux** | NVIDIA NVENC | `AVCodecsCore`, `NVCodecs` | NVIDIA GPU with proprietary driver **530.41** or newer — NVENC isn't available with the open-source Nouveau driver. |
+| **macOS** | Apple VideoToolbox | `AVCodecsCore`, `VTCodecs` | None — uses the dedicated hardware media engine on Apple Silicon and a software fallback on Intel Macs. |

-### macOS
-
-On macOS, Session Replay encodes the game's backbuffer via Apple's VideoToolbox framework. Both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs are supported — VideoToolbox uses a dedicated hardware media engine on Apple Silicon and a software fallback elsewhere.

+- **Enable the codec plugins for every GPU vendor you want to cover.** The Sentry plugin only compiles the recorder when `AVCodecsCore` is present. On Windows, `NVCodecs` and `AMFCodecs` can be enabled side by side — the encoder matching the player's GPU is selected at runtime.
- **A plugin rebuild is required after toggling the setting.** Whether Session Replay is compiled in is decided at build time from `AttachSessionReplay`, so after enabling or disabling it, delete your project's `Binaries` and `Intermediate` directories and rebuild.
+- **Machines without a compatible encoder fall back to no recording.** The feature self-disables for the session and logs a warning; crash reporting itself is unaffected.
-As with Windows, the most recent fraction of a second of footage (up to one fragment duration) may be missing from the attached clip.
