Windows 10 users will not be able to record footage of this week’s The Division beta using an external capture card, Ubisoft has warned.

The issue affects players using an Elgato Gaming HD60, Atomos Assassin, Atomos Shogun “and potentially more”, the publisher says, and results in the user experiencing a “corrupted video signal” when running the game through a capturing device.

The issue does not appear to be a deliberate attempt to eliminate footage of the beta, however. In an email sent out to beta participants this morning, Ubisoft clarified that the test “is not subject to an NDA” and that users “are free to capture gameplay content and live stream on all platforms that stream content, as well as post images and discuss the Beta”.

As such, if you’re using Windows 10 and want to capture screenshots and footage of the PS4 and Xbox One versions, you’ll probably be restricted to using each console’s internal recording software.

The Division beta goes live on Xbox One tomorrow, with a PS4 and PC beta due to follow on Friday. It’ll run on all three platforms until Sunday, January 31.

There are other issues with this week’s beta, too, Ubisoft warns, including problems causing textures to load in slowly after a player respawns, and a glitch that causes players to fall through the map during a certain scenario.
