Just a quick Photo question

Postby Jace Faolan » Tue May 05, 2015 3:27 am

How do you take screenshots of the game? I thought is was maybe F4 but I wasn't sure because I couldn't find it or open it in paint or any other program.

Or Alt-F10 for high resolution. And the result of both ends up in "C:\Users\[username]\Pictures\Frontier Developments", not on the pasteboard.

But just remember, Alt-F10 doesn't work in open...

Works in solo and private groups, though.

I thought it was only in Solo?

So what is the resolution of the High Res Snapshot? Is it dependent on the base resolution?

High res are 4 times your selected resolution.

So on my system where I downsample from 2560 x 1600 to my monitor's 1920 x 1200, that's 10240 x 6400. Quite large files, in bmp (about 200MB, on my machine)!

And I didn't try in open, but I know high res work in private groups (be ready for your screen to freeze for several seconds, though).
