"Take screenshot" key not working

Benzin1973 · 07-23-16, 10:20 PM

Hello all,
Im trying to take some screenshots of my visit to new york. But when i press CTRL+F11 as usual, nothing happens. No notice appears, no file is saved, nothing.
Ibe tested it with my other career, same thing. I removed mods, same thing. Replaced the commands.cfg file for a new/clean one, nothing.

I even replaced the sh3.exe (wich is completely un-modded btw), and nothing.

Anyone have an idea of what might be wrong?

thanks in advance

Widescreen/d3d9?

Laptop Fn F11 Toggle?

No widescreen, but i did apply the resolution fix, wich indeed messes with d3d.

Does this cause conflicts with taking screenshots?

oh man, steam's screenshot feature doesnt work with this game either, and pressing imprscrn causes the game to freeze. How im i supposed to capture the "nice" moments?

Indeed it does mate, when I used to use the "Res Fix" it also had a bad habit of causing CTD when taking screenies. Now I use Ahnenerbe widescreen mod and the problem is solved. If you are using a 16:9 monitor I wholeheartedly recommend it

Hope this helps.

Best regards.

I'm not of much help here, I just remembered to have read about this problem in connection with widescreen modifications.

But Google is a pretty good search engine for Subsim.

And there are some free sreenshot tools available too, which may be able to work the problem.

Thanks for your answers fellas!

@Fubar2Niner: that GUI looks awesome! but i just cant get it to work. Tried running the game as admin, changing the resolution on the d3d.cfg file... nothing. it just CTDs on start.

@Mittelwaechter: I disabled the d3d fix, and taking screenshots worked as expected. So its confirmed, it is the resolution fix that is causing the problem.

Seems i now have to choose, crappy pixelated graphics to take screenshots of, or not taking screenshots of the nice graphics.
