Anyone know why this is happening

KptnLt Eric Karle · 08-17-05, 02:40 PM

For some reason the latest bunch of screenshots I took all came out black. I am running a lot of mods but can't see why any of them would cause this to happen, they are nearly all graphic mods anyway.

If anybody else has experienced this problem I'd really appreciate a possible answer. I installed CCIP's Low FOV Camera mod and the feeling of perspective it creates is just begging to be captured in screenies

Try to remove the mod for a tiny second, to see if that is what causes it.

If you're running an Nvidia card, turn off anti-aliasing.

Take off the lense cap!

I know!

Try taking your screen captures during the daytime! Or with the moon out, if it's not overcast!

Seriously, I don't know. If it were a video, I'd say to turn off hardware acceleration under the 'Troubleshoot' tab of your controller settings.. Maybe that would work..?

Yeah I have heard this is an error somepeople experience with
NVIDIA cards while running FSAA.

Yea, it must be the AA. I have that problem too - it's not the camera mod, I can assure you

The problem is that I've taken loads of screenies before with no problems then I didn't play for a while and now all I get is a black image

Display toner cartridge empty?

Mwahahahaha !!

Sure he didnt check this one.

But in those cases you should also check the display printer head if you have one.

Eyes open?

Sorry, I don't think I can compete with all of you tech-savvy folks. I prefer the low-tech solution.
