For what it's worth I've been trying to get NVIDIA to tell me what "NVIDIA Capture Server Proxy" service does for a few days. It recently got installed and if you search NVIDIA's website get get nothing.
I did a chat with a NVIDIA tech and they said "It is related to shadow play. please do not worry about it"
I asked for some documentation and they replied "These are development application so we do not have any documentation on this"
Uh, wtf?
I've recently figured out what 'shadowplay' is but the lack of documentation and reluctance to talk about the service is disturbing.
People are freaking out on this like it's already happening. I point out how you can monitor the program and now I'm getting a negative feedback? Fuck this place.
I admit I haven't read all the comments here so I apologize if someone else has made the following comment. This story is nonsense.
Install Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653), launch Process Explorer, install Origin, launch Origin, log in with your username/password. Let Process Explorer run for an hour or so and filter out any results where the Origin directory is being read.
What are you going to find? Nothing.
Most of this outrage is based on a photoshopped screenshot in a BF3 forum, the rest is speculation, not based on fact.
It's the people that inflate their own importance and think the government would actually monitor their every move. Sure, you do business with someone from the ME they might check up on you but once they figure out you're just a web developer they're going to move on to bigger fish.
