Can anyone else reproduce this problem? Does recording movies work in Fortress Mode?

I'm unable to record in fortress mode with 31.08.

The "REC" status flashes for a while, then eventually just stops on its own after about 10 seconds. Trying to play back the movie after this point results in nothing (that I can see) happening.

Is this problem still present in 31.12?

This would explain all of the empty movies that have been uploaded recently to DFMA...

Yes, movies still don't work.

Still definitely broken in 0.31.12 SDL, but it works perfectly in the Legacy build.

This should be fixed for 0.31.18.
