ZOR58 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 when ever I use the Print Screen key on my keyboard I get a picture of the Windows screen not the battlefront screen? I am using Windows 10. Thanks, Dan V 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vencini Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 If you’re using Win 10, this is for free and you can make videos too https://www.howtogeek.com/219947/how-to-record-pc-gameplay-with-windows-10’s-game-dvr-and-game-bar/ One user of this forum recommended it. I’m not at home, so I can’t search for his name Regards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) What I don't understand is that I'm using three monitors and when I hit the print screen key it shows up in the CMBS folder. I'm using Win 10 as well. So why is it not working for other people. Now I remember, I have the program that Vencini mention. I setup the keyboard shortcuts when capturing screenshots.

Chops Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I use Nvidia's GeForce Experience software, In-Game Overlay for taking videos and screenshots in CM. Just make sure that you change some of the default key commands in the In-Game Overlay so that they don't interfere with CM key commands. So, if you have an Nvidia graphics card check it out. It works well once you get used to the interface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason people still recommend FRAPS and Bandicam is that they offer free versions of those app's which do a good job of simple screen captures. That cost/benefit analysis weighs in their favor for most of us . . . @JohnO - Thanks for bringing Action to our attention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah actually that is one thing, mine does not crash the game, but I get terrible mouse lag on the overlay when using it on combat mission, but taking screenshots and videos works alright and I can just open the overlay once I close combat mission and then save/edit/upload whatever I want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within the GeForce Experience software go to In-Game Overlay, turn it on, and then go to In-Game Overlay > Settings. Set your key commands for screenshots and recording (Alt-F1, Alt-F9). Close the In-Game Overlay, and close GeForce Experience. Then start Combat Mission. Just use Alt-F1 within the game to capture screenshot, and Alt-F9 to start and stop recording. Very easy and no lag or issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FRAPS was crap before it hit old age. Now it is just ancient payware that does a worse job than the software bundled with any modern graphics driver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
