Screen-shots not working
« 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.

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

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

Turn on compatibility mode for Windows 7.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.
