Default Re: Screenshots?

When in Windowed mode the game is a Windows Desktop application. Therefore use PRINT SCRN for the entire desktop or ALT+PRINT SCRN for just the current active window, puts the screen capture into the windows paste buffer. Then open a graphics application (e.g. irfanview) and select PASTE.

Since that is normal behaviour for the windows O/S, and is described in the usual Microsoft Windows documentation there is no neeed to mention it in the Game Guide. That is how we got the screen shots for the Game Guide after all.

However, when the game is in full screen DirectX mode, you would need some sort of third party full screen DirectX screen capture utility. We dont make one, nor do we use one (as windowed mode provides the Windows O/S print screen function) so we don't describe any.

Cheers
