CanuckGamer Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Going back to CMBN I have been unable to take screenshots pressing CTRL/ALT/PrtScr simultaneously. It just produces a screenshot that is completely black. I can take a screenshot using FRAPS but am wondering why the first method no longer works. When I first got CMBN I could take screenshots using this method. I tried it with CMFI and Final Blitzkrieg but the screenshot is completely black. I am using Windows 7. Thanks in advance for any help and or comments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I don't know why, but I can confirm that the old (convenient) CM1 method doesn't work with CM2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGamer Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Is there a new procedure for taking screenshots where I would not have to use a 3rd party program like Fraps? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 No - although if you don't count Steam as a 3rd Party program then there is a method you can use apparently. Somebody posted something to that effect in one of the CMX2 Game Boards (can't remember which) in the last fortnight or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnarly Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 And I believe in Windows 10, the Game Bar allows this as well, but only for certain graphics cards (not mine....). See here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Oh that's cool @gnarly I keep learning about new things stuffed into Windows 10. I'll defiantly check that out at home tonight. The line about might only work in windowed mode in that article might take the fun out of it but it is worth trying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. The latest Nvida cards and drivers have shadow play which may work and you may have. I do have a card that supports it but have never tired it. It required some setup work and I didn't bother following through once I got blocked figuring it out because I have FRAPs and wanted to play not tinker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerPajamas Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 For Win 10 users (sorry OP), hold the Windows key and PrtScn key together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
