StellarRat Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The print screen key only seems to capture the desktop (not the game screen) when I'm in full screen mode. What utility are you using to take shots in full screen mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoMask Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Steam has its own screen shot function. I think it was F5 or F12, forgot which Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivoune Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hmm print key works fine here in full screen mode. In what soft do you load the screenshot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Alt and print screen should copy your active window to the clipboard so you can paste it into a paint package. If you use ctrl and print screen it will capture your whole desktop, including anything on multiple monitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowly Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I use FRAPS. The trial version shouldn't have too many limitations (if any) for taking screenshots. @Xenomask: F12 is Steam's screenshot key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hmm print key works fine here in full screen mode. In what soft do you load the screenshot?I've just been putting it in Paint. It shows up, but all I get is the desktop, but it's like it's what's behind the game. If I do the same thing in windowed mode it works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried both for some reason it doesn't work right. I have Steam, maybe I'll turn it on and try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzles Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Prt-Scrn, alt-tab out, load up Paint, Ctrl-V and presto! One image to attach to a bug report Failing that, as seemingly as alt-prtscrn doesn't seem to work, then Fraps is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to check to make sure my print screen key isn't mapped funny or something. I suppose my video card/driver could have an issue or something too.

baj Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I had this problem with my old laptop that had an intergrated graphics chip, never did solve it. Now I'm on a new(er) laptop with a dedicated graphics card and the print screen works fine in full screen mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
