skywarder Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 So I've got a fairly simple problem. I can't take screenshots, but I've tried several different solutions thought. I tried adding "bAllowScreenshot=1" under "[display]" in the Skyrim.ini (As well as in the "SkyrimPrefs.ini" and "Skyrim-default.ini", and more recently in "low.ini", "medium.ini", "high.ini" and "VeryHigh.ini" too in my frustration). When adding that line to "Skyrim.ini" thought, it seemed to work at first. It paused for a second (as it is supposed to do when you take a screenshot), but I get no notification about a screenshot being saved, and after checking my Skyrim folder I can confirm that there are no screenshots saved. What am I supposed to do to be able to take screenshots? Thank you all in advance! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywarder Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Bumping since this is really important to me, but it fell to page 2 in about 1 hour due to a lot of new threads being posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susurruss Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Try FRAPS. (fraps.com) Works really well, just MAKE SURE you set the keys for screenshots and video (free version lets you capture 30 second avi files) to different ones than the game uses!

Blake81 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Have you checked if they're activated in Skyrim.ini? It should look like this: [Display]----bAllowScreenshot=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zrkonium Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Stupid question, but what button are you pushing to take the screenshot, and are you playing through Steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
