Cthuloot Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Okay HOW do I do screenshots in game? I must be some kind of stupid cuz I just don't know how. And where are they saved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkhAscendant Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 F12 generally does it for me, then they're saved in some file tree with lots of folders named with numbers, but Steam opens up a popup when I exit that gives you the option to upload to Steam and to open the file location. I've seen some people just use the normal Printscreen but I'm not sure if that saves the with steam or just to the clipboard like normal, as I haven't done that.

Cthuloot Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 It's on a function key? :wallbash: Steam... You crazy Steam... I don't like things on my function keys... For some reason I thought Skyrim would have it's own in game feature for it... I'm not very friendly with Steam, but still reluctantly use it... I suppose I'll see if there's a way to rebind that and look for where they're saved. I haven't poked around at all in the Steam files for it...

Once I find the folder that steam stores are screenshots in I just make a desktop shortcut of the folder -- screenshots - Shortcut where there found "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\42850866\760\remote\72850\screenshots" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthuloot Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 For me it's the Print Screen key and they are saved to my Skyrim directory in bmp format. Rabbit How did you do this? I'm so used the using the print screen key and checking the games folder from almost every other game I've ever played. I don't know why Steam seems to make things so counter intuitive for me =/ And I think I've found the folder sinnerman mentioned, however it's empty as a result of me not knowing the F12 key did screen shots... :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stabbykitteh Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 If you go to Steam / Settings / In-Game there's an option to change the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find bAllowScreenshot=1 and make sure it's set to 1. Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
