Can't take screenshots?
« on: August 03, 2012, 10:48:28 AM »

I have been trying to take some screenshots for various reasons, but they just wont save to the "Screenshots" folder. I have tried taking the shots in the sim, the menu and in the actual campaign. I have also tried switching the keybindings to like 5 different keys, but none of them seem to work.

Am i doing something wrong? Or is this a bug?

Did you press Fn + Insert?  On a lenovo laptop, that's how I get screenshots.

My K90 keyboard dosnt have a Fn key :P Also im on a custom built Windows 7 64bit gaming PC. Not a laptop.

OT, the game freezes for a while, as if a screenshot was taken. But it still isnt there.

Well, did you take screenshots before the patch?  Then there might be a problem.  In any case, find the key that says "Printscreen" or "PrSc" and click that.  If it's on a key, but under the main button (e.g. F11 has "Pause" under it), find the command key (Fn for most other users) and press both at the same time.

Hmm
new keyboard and I can't either
Cyborg V.7, though I am in OS X. The interesting part comes from command working, so cmd+3+shift should do it. Nope, it doesn't.
I guess I'll have to reach over then and use my macbook's keyboard. Huh.
