I can solve it but i don't like to change my resolution because the screen looks weird. :(
I had the same problem with my laptop, if you set the resolution to 1360x768 the screenshots will work again. You are very unlikely to notice that the screen is 6 pixels smaller.
IIRC this problem occurs when you use a resolution that can't be divided by 4, 1366/4=341,5 that ,5 is the problem that causes the engine to spew out garbage. (although in my case it ended up as a cool effect :mrgreen:)
If you don't have the option in game for 1360x768 you can try to force it in the .ini file, if that does not work you might need to add a custom resolution in the driver and if you can't do that in your drivers then you can try 1280x768 or 1280x720.

This is interesting to know. I wonder if I can do something about it with an idea. :twisted:

Then you can always try to play in window mode with 1024x768 resolution.
Thank you.

A screenshot program can fix this problem?
