I was wondering how can I take in-game screenshots and save them to my computer?
thx in advance :)
This topic is locked from further discussion.
If the game has a built in screenshot function, it will save the screenshot in a folder, usually in the game folder. When using fraps u can choose where the picture will be saved. Then once u have taken the pics simply start photo shop and browse the folder they have been saved to.
I hope this explains it and sorry if i missunderstood what you meant.
Well if the game has a built-in screenshot tool (which you'll find out by looking at the key bindings) they'll normally go under the game's root folder or in a folder called Screenshots somewhere in the game's folder.
Otherwise, if it isn't binded (and you don't use a program like x-fire or fraps) you'll need to paste the image into something like paint/photoshop and save it manually to a folder.
Edit: Beat me :P
On a side note, if the screenshot (using a game's built-in system) doesnt go to the game folder, it will often go to folder in My Documents.
For example, when I take a pic in Crysis using F12 key, the pic goes here:
c:\documents and settings\my name\my documents\my games\crysis\ScreenShots
Most games that store files in the My Documents folder will do this method, such as Oblivion, Stalker, GTA, etc.
