kozferatu Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Was looking for workaround to being unable to take screenshots in-game and read on other forum that it was possible to do so when windowed. Sadly, the 'run in windows' option has no effect, the game still runs full-screen. Also tried different resolutions, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat0r Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 You could use the Steam-overlay screenshot function, or other tools like Fraps/Dxtory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kozferatu Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yeah, I did try the Steam function, but that didn't seem to work either unless I'm doing it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 There is a problem with the game engine that prevents windowed mode from working unless your selected resolution is a little smaller in both dimensions than your desktop resolution. This is not something Goldhawk can alter as it is part of the engine source code that they do not have the rights to modify. It should work though if you select a smaller resolution. For example my native desktop resolution is 1680x1050 so windowed mode works at 1600 by 900 and below. If I try to go with a higher resolution it defaults back to full screen. You can also take screenshots using the print screen key, ctrl-print screen, and alt-print screen. This saves an image of your current window or screen (I forget which command saves which image) to your clipboard which you can then paste into an image editing program (paint, paint shop pro etc). Some people have said this doesn't work for them but I haven't had any problems so can't really suggest any other work arounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Steam screenshot function should work - just press F12! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, I hadn't selected a smaller enough resolution when I tried this the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither did print screen, ctr + print screen, alt + print screen. Maybe it has something to so with running two monitors or something.

Gauddlike Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Obviously, I hadn't selected a smaller enough resolution when I tried this the first time. Most people expect windowed mode to allow all resolutions including a full sized window (which it should) but playground sdk doesn't work too well. Maybe the next Goldhawk game will have a better engine If you have time give it a test and see if going back to a single monitor fixes the problem, it likely will. Just out of interest.
