I can't take screenshots

[FXANBSS]

I can't take screenshots now, i can take only 1 screenshot but using the Print button and paste it on paint.

I'm using Direct3D, it's my config?

Code: Select all

I tried to take a screenshot of the legacy campaign, the screenshot is of a cow on the big elevator that teleports you to the cyberus world.
I know what happens after teleporting, the cow disappears.

Do you mean you can't take screenshots in UT? I'm not sure what Legacy is.

Fairly simple for UT:
1) Hit F9 for each screenshot.
2) Exit out of UT.
3) Screenshots in your /UnrealTournament/System directory in .bmp format.

Does that help?

[FXANBSS]

Doesn't work, i've seen that before.

Edit User.ini

[Engine.Input]
F9=SShot

Now F9 should take screenies again.

[FXANBSS]

Nothing. the image is corrupted.

There is a old corrupted Screenshot from 2012.

Nothing. the image is corrupted.

So you can now take the SS but the image looks like that? Graphics card issue then.

Have you tried using other render like OpenGL or D3D9?

I have the slight feeling this is somehow related to your current problem.

I don't like the other renders, Direct3D is the only that don't have problems with the flickering lights.

I sorta have this problem too, I can't take screenshots with print screen. However F9 works fine for me.

As a temporary work around, try running the game in windowed mode and then using print screen and paste it in paint. You can then just cut out the desktop and window border in paint.

[EvilGrins]

Wait, I think I've got it...

...it's a sailboat, right?

OGL here with no problems. I think there is something messed up with your system or UT install. That type of screenshot screams hardware problem...something to do with your onboard graphics (Beema is pretty weak). Driver maybe. From this thread and your last about the graphics problems, again, I think your system - hardware - is the problem.

It would be really useful if you posted your complete system specs, OS, etc with the problem. It's like going to the doctor and saying "part of me hurts."

I think it can also be a resolution problem.. Didn't memsys have the same problem before?

[FXANBSS]

I found the problem, is my Resolution: 1366x768.

I can solve it but i don't like to change my resolution because the screen looks weird.

What the... a really odd resolution for UT.
You should keep your resolution in the 4:3 ratio for best performance.

I can solve it but i don't like to change my resolution because the screen looks weird.

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