Title: Screen-shots not working
Post by: TommyProductionsInc on June 04, 2017, 12:13:47 PM
I'm trying to play RA2 on my Windows 8.1 computer. Everything works fine, except for when I do screenshots. They all come out as solid black images.

Is there a setting on my computer that I need to fix? I plan on building house robots and my regular Windows XP computer can't handle complicated builds.

You have to use windowed mode for taking Screenshots

I had the same problem as you some time ago. But you should listen to Thyrus and play in windowed mode when you want to take screenshots of your bots. Don't worry when taking screenshots in windowed mode, hitting F11 for a screenshot should only take the game screen and not anything else unless you happen to hit Print-screen by mistake.

And you may want to change the grafics to high as it has an effect in window mode as I figured out today

What is with the people constantly using printscreen button for the screenshot? Just start and use bcam

That's a terrible idea. That takes up loads of memory for no major benefit over F11 or even Print Screen.

You really have a sh**box of your pc if bcam takes too much space (14Mb btw)

Make some replicas and you'll get attention and praise. That's something you're GOOD at.

Turn on compatibility mode for Windows 7.
