Screenshot Problem

Unread post by muffinFBSL »

Currently, I can't seem to produce/find the screenshots I take. I use the Print Screen button on my keyboard (if there is another way, I'd like to know). I have taken screenshots before and they saved directly to my Neverwinter Nights 2 Folder (they appear seperately without any sort of folder subcategory, they are just in the folder... like viewable on the same panel where I can see the breakdown of the NWN2 folder like with ambient, hak, dmvault, data folders, etc. Lately, the screenshots stopped appearing here, and I can't seem to find them anywhere. I tried deleting a few of the ones I had, to see if I maybe ran out of room or something, but that didn't work. Can anyone help me?

Screenshots should be in your "my documents/Neverwinter Nights 2" folder. Maybe you are currently looking for them in the directory into which you actually installed the game (like c:\Programs\NWN2 for instance)? Several subfolders should be identical, so maybe you just got the 2 directories mixed up?!

Your Print-Screen key may no longer be bound to create SS's as intended. This happened to me when I upgraded to Win7. I rebound the SS function to my "Insert" key and SS's worked again.

I had the same exact problem in that my screenshots weren't being saved too. It USED to work and then at some point it stopped not too long ago. I would hit the "print screen" button and the game would hesitate for a split second as if it took the shot but I couldn't find it anywhere. Through trial-and-error, I figured out that shift-printscreen worked for me and the shots were saved in the root of the "my documents/neverwinter nights2" folder.
Most people say "if it isn't broke, don't fix it.",

Programmers say "if it isn't broke it doesn't have enough features.".
