I am new to the speedrunning community with the goal of speedrunning Half-Life 2: Lost Coast without glitches or major skips! Any good recording software that is free anyone can link me please? Thanks!

welcome to the speedrunning community! i hope you enjoy your stay and hope to see your runs on the leaderboards someday!

you mentioned you are looking for recording software that is free to use. a program called open broadcast software, or obs studio which is a free recording and live streaming program that works on windows, mac, and linux respectively.

you can find the download here: https://obsproject.com/
