Screenshots?

Remove all ads!

I took about 5 or so screenshots (Print Scrn), but can't seem to find them... not in My Pictures...and no folder for them either on the HD folders or on the DVD. Anyone have any ideas?

(Also, normally when I use the Print Scrn, you see a second lag, where it's obvious the screen's being captured... never saw that either.)

 

I have exactly the same problem, i made somewhat 4 screenshots, no lag, and nowhere to be found.

 

Here's the deal -- you have to go into the .ini file and change "bAllowScreenshot=0" to "bAllowScreenshot=1". Why they put no screenshots as the default beats me. :shrug:

 

I knew that, and did that before taking screenshots, to no effect though.

 

I had the same problem and couldnt figure it out. Just use fraps - "F10" is the default for a screenshot.

 

Are you sure you're editing the right .ini? The one that the game actually uses should be in MyDocuments\MyGames\Oblivion.

 

@ Lost Meme: I edited that one and the other one, but neither had effect...am I pressing the right key "Prt Scr"? Where do the picture files appear, is there a folder somewhere?

 

They should be saved to where you installed Oblivion (e.g. CProgram Files\Bethesda\Oblivion).
'Print Screen' is the right key.
I'm not sure why it wouldn't work.

 

There's another variable in there...screenshot index, IIRC. Don't remember the exact syntax at the moment...apart from allow screenshot. You have to set that to 1 as well.

Edit: Forgot to add, screenshots dont work if you have Anti Aliasing enabled. Disable that as well.

Most of the times I've maked screen shots, I have to paste them in paint.
Then I can save the picture and make another when...

 

It also does not work if you have anti aliasing enabled. But I dunno if thats just an issue with ATI cards. Something to keep in mind however...

 

Thanks Faraaz, you were right, I had to turn anti-aliasing off
