Print Screen button not taking Screenshots - ronillon - 05-25-2021 As you might know, it is possible to take screenshots in Freelancer without the use of external programs. If everything works fine, you press "Print Screen" key and a BMP file with screenshot is created in c:\Users\%username%\Pictures\FreelancerShots\ This should work pretty much everywhere in Freelancer, from the MAIN MENU to the Bar on Planet Curacao. Recently this stopped working for me. And it appears that it does not work for others and has not worked for others in the past: Screenshots for Freelancer Of course it is possible to take screenshots using external tools like Steam, Xfire, Fraps, programs associated with your GPU and many others. But I decided to figure out why the native screenshot functionality was no longer working. It turned out, that the culprit was Avast Antivirus Anti-Malware Shield. Disabling this shield or setting Freelancer as exception in the shield settings solved the issue. Hope this helps someone RE: Print Screen button not taking Screenshots - Xenon - 05-25-2021 after taking a print screen, go to desktop and create a new BMP or paint file, then right click on it, then select edit, and cltr+v, then save

RE: Print Screen button not taking Screenshots - sindroms - 05-26-2021 How on earth did you manage to break this... RE: Print Screen button not taking Screenshots - Laz - 05-26-2021 If you can convince @Alex. to implement this, here is some code wrote that makes print screen not use the stupid FL system, and instead takes nice .png files that are properly categorised by date. Code: #define min std::minRE: Print Screen button not taking Screenshots - Kauket - 05-26-2021 (05-26-2021, 01:26 PM)sindroms Wrote: How on earth did you manage to break this... It stopped working for me the other day too. Just printed out only black screens or not taking anything at all. I thought it was because of my tv connected via hdmi shut off. The screen goes black for a blink of a moment RE: Print Screen button not taking Screenshots - Hokan - 05-26-2021 Alternatively, If you're using Win 10 you can press and hold the keys: WIN+SHIFT+S. It will freeze your screen so that you can then make a selection which is saved to your clipboard. Then you can paste it and save it. RE: Print Screen button not taking Screenshots - St.Denis - 05-26-2021 I have Windows 10 and all I need to do is press PrtSc and the picture is saved in a Freelancer Folder in Pictures. |
