Screen shot problems

From various reactions I concluded that some people can take screenshots in the usual way and find them in the main directory as it was in SH-3 and SH-4. Many others - included myself - cannot. There is no reaction and all search on my disk yields nothing.

This has been done by Ubi to deprive users from the ability to take screenshot of bugs and post them on the net. However when they tried to disable the screenshot functionality they made another bug which resulted in the situation that for many users it was still possible...

If you are victim of this new customerstrategy and in desperate need to publish your bug-of-the week then you can still take pictures by using the old resolution fix. So copy the d3d9.cfg and d3d9.dll in the mainmap. Taking screenshot that way doesn't contribute to stability but that was already the case with SH3/4. I remember also fraps is able to take pictures but they are not high quality.
