centiles Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi, subject says it all. Using the "print" key on the keyboard, we get a screenshot of the desktop. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 That screenshot is then saved in your clipboard so open up MSpaint or photoshop and then paste that screenshot into the program and save the file as an jpg or png. Or are you saying that pressing the print screen key doesn't save what is showing on your monitor when you are inside the game? Try running the game in windowed mode.

Gauddlike Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 CTRL and print screen should save your current active window. ALT and print screen should save your whole desktop, including the current window. Both of those save the image to your clipboard so open a paint program and paste it in, as Gorlom suggested.

Chris Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Neither works with Xenonauts, unfortunately. The only way to get screenshots is to play in a window. More problems with the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauddlike Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Both work for me, could be down to the system running it I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Übermensch Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I finally got this working with Steam overlay, so now I can take screenshots with f12 without any issues... Open Steam > Add A Game > Add a non-steam game > Browse and select Xenonauts.exe > Profit! Edited January 9, 2013 by Übermensch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
