screenshot missing all the cool stuff in cmak demo

[russellmz]

i can take a screenie in cmbo and cmbb no problem. but in the cmak demo the following are missing: (all of which i saw onscreen when i hit "printscreen")

-building walls/roof (still saw the tower and dome oddly)

-fire

-smoke

-vehicles

-infantry

-bases of all units

flag, land, trees, all were still visible. looking at the screenie it looks normal in that there are no messed up textures, or inconsistent/staticy imagery. it looks as if a bunch of the function keys were pressed and removed most of the effects and units. but i carefully arrayed the camera to get the cool shot and saw all the debris, units, and fire.

specs:

600mhz

nvidia m64 32mb videocard

cmbb and cmbo run fine

cmak demo ran almost perfectly (some minor glitches when i alt-tabbed out)

My guess is you had too much boose last night hehehe

If you use the printscreen button to make a screenshot, nothing is changed what you saw the moment you make the screenie.

In any case i dont know and havent read about problems of this kind !

oh..did you try a reboot ?

Take some hours to get some sleep

I'm not sure what is going on here. Some people are reporting minor graphical problems with NVidia cards and their drivers under Win98. What Windows version are you running ? What version of DirectX and which Detonator do you have installed ?

You can try out another utility to capture screenshots (though it will leave a logo on the capture): HyperSnap DX. I'd try this utility and see if it makes a difference or not. It would be interesting to see if the captures are the same as a 'printscreen' or not.
