Thank you!

Now I don't have to deal with those black screens as I was too lazy to install something else :P

Just wait long enough and Steam does it for you 8)

It's also fine for video if you have a quad core processor. It's 100% CPU dependent. My i7 handles it nicely.

XFire has a serious case of constant DC with me (plus it doesn't support some of my games), so i'm glad steam has the same feature. now they just need a video recorder that isn't as demanding as XFire's, and that doesn't make files as huge.

You need to register to use png. It's odd that it does that with your bmp files though, mine turn out fine.

I also can't see a difference in quality between bmp vs png vs max quality jpg.

Out of my 51 PC games Xfire supports 49 of them (the 2 that don't work are Alien Vs Predator, a Dx11 game and Blood Omen 2, an old rather irrelevant game) and Steam supports about 10 of them (Counter strike Source, Team Fortress 2, Portal, Half Life 2, Day of Defeat Source, Episode One, Episode Two, Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, Alien Vs predator and Fear 2) in other words only Steam games + a few. Steam is so bad, its hilarious. Oh well, what can you do... they seem to own the market. Yet too cheap and lazy to support a percentile of the PC library ... :cry:

the only games i have that steam doesn't support are the ones i didn't purchase through it... which is something i used to do BEFORE i got a steam account, seeing as i get the games cheaper. and those games all have steam versions BTW. sounds like pointless whining to be.

How the **** is buying 51 PC games and only 12 of them (all of them either bought from Steam itself or made by the creators of Steam except Fear 2, thats the ONLY exception) work? Thats one **** service right there.

Do you even realize how pathetic you made Steam look? You said it yourself, the games you didn't purchase through it don't work on it :lol:

Sony: Hey PS3 gamers, if you want in-game PSN, trophies and chat for your games, you have to buy them from the PS store! If you buy games else where, well screw you we don't care :lol:!

Well it would help if more games could let you actually take a screenshot. Right now it's pretty much just Halo.

Wait a second... I was using it on a non-steam game yesterday, Bulletstorm. What are some games it didn't work on? If it works on a non-steam game, I would imagine it would work for all Steam games.
