Screenshots doesn't work anymore

Post by Anakin »

The topic says all if i press "Alt Gr" + "Druck" normaly the programm adds a new folder to C:\Programme\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData named "Screenshots". But now it doesn't work. I tried to make a new folder in the Gamedata folder but the programm doesn't save the screenshot in this folder.

I have no idea where you heard "Alt Gr" + "Druck", or for that matter no idea how enter that command, but usually you press print screen and then the screenshot is saved in that folder.

That's what Druck is on his keyboard, what he is doing is equivalent to Alt +Prnt scrn.

Are you running on Windows Vista or 7?

Yay! XP ftw!

Anyways, you may not have to press anything besides druck, give it a try.

"Druck" is "PrintScreen" on the english keyboard, mind that mostly english(speaking) peopleare in this forum
pressing "Druck"/"printScreen" for two seconds should create a screenshot

Actually just hitting it should do it, but yeah, that's how it usually works.

Xfire.

Is there another way besides getting a program that will take a picture of your screen for you? Don't think so.

*breathing noises* Obi-Wan, your displayed location is Tennessee. Are you sure you don't have a key labelled "Prt Scr/Sys Req", or something similar? It's a fairly standard key, unless you're on a Mac, and I've not owned a keyboard that didn't have it in the past decade. Look to the right of the F12 key.


Also, I'm more inclined to believe whether you have to hold the key or not is totally dependent on the system specs and/or the load on the system when used, because I'm fairly certain I've used both methods on the same system. The keyboard itself should have little to do with it, since all it really does is send a signal the instant a key is depressed (when an electrical connection is made). There's no built in delay aside from the limits on the speed of transferring electrons. :P

If you don't have the prntscrn button, you most likely have a laptop or foreign keyboard. If its a laptop, they normally have an fn or other key combination for print screen. For example on my mac laptop running xp, i have to press fn+shift+f10 or something like that. And on my desktop pc with a 10 year old keyboard i only have to press the prntsrn button for it to work, so i don't think its a matter of quality, its probably something to do with the design...

I actually have a Mac. :) I run bootcamp to play swbf2. I'll try the fn+shift+f10. And I do live in Tennessee.
