The Res Fix maps the screenshot function to the PrintScreen key, and I never had problems using it with my old setup. On some of those shots above, though, the game froze up on me. The first few times I was able to 'alt+tab' it to the taskbar and then pull it back up and it had unfrozen and gone back to normal but after the last attempt it finally froze completely and I had to pull up Task Manager to shut it down. It may have unfrozen on its own eventually but I was only making a test run and didn't want to wait around to find out.

I hate to think that I can't do screenshots any more, but it looks like whatever causes the CTD issue with the Res Fix is now an issue for me as well. I don't know any way around it because I've never had to find one before.

Environment mods are all a matter of taste and what your system can handle. If yours can run a 20km atmo you may find MEPv3 (the full mod, not the bits I pulled out of it) suits you better. TBH I didn't know how much I liked SH5 water until I was in the game without it, now it feels like something's missing if it's not there. And to be fair, cruising through the harbor on a relatively calm day doesn't really do it justice. The storms at sea are pretty awesome IIRC.
