Screenshot Complications?

Why don't you just download Fraps and use that instead?

There's a free version, but to be honest I payed for it years ago and am still getting updates for it so it's well worth the money in my book.

Fraps never compresses files, so every video is about 500MB, more with SH5, and since i already lag my BALLS off because i have an 80 year old ATi radeon 3200 that itd be too laggy for words. unless your talking about....screenshots with fraps? maybe i could try THAt. video is a definite HELL NO. Even with ALL enhancements off, and res at lowest my game get 9 FPs at an average. when i have a convoy with escorts about 5 FPS and with a TASK FORCE? that like 1-2 max. its terrible, and i NEEEEEEEEEEEED a new card. plan to ask for it on christmas. god i wish getting a job was easier

Oh no - I was talking purely screenshot. If I tried to take a movie whilst in-game, the whole thing would turn into a slideshow.

I just reinstalled SH5 after several months and cannot believe this! What the hell is going on here??? How is it possible that a game developer does not simply use PrtScn button to take a screenshot like every other frigg'in game in the universe (almost).. Really, I would like to know what they were smoking.. Argg... Well, there is another keystroke I need to retrain my old brain to switch and remember for one "special" game that has to be different for no good reason....
