Hello @Wh00p3d!

For recording issues, we have an article that contains some solutions. Please check Troubleshoot recording game clips on Xbox | Xbox Support to troubleshoot the issue.

Nothing on that has fixed it it seems to tare when I spin quick but I haven’t changed anything and it’s started doing it recently

Use OBS to record and set as display capture, gamebar will only capture application window and it ignores a lot of overlays, CAD apparently loves to draw elements onto overlay which some screen recorders ignore or cannot record. OBS will capture most but will also miss some.
