How to Do an In-Game Screenshot?
« on: November 01, 2011, 04:32:24 PM »
Like, the messages and stuff? Basically what you, the player sees. I've tried pressing Print Screen, and then copy and pasting into word, but it comes up a black box.

You have to play in windows mode and use another screenshot software (pressing Print Screen basically doesn't work). I use FastStone capture.

Tell me please if you find any mistake in my post. English is not my mother language. It's "only" the third one in frequency of utilisation. I'm "half-French".

It's in the game options menu.

For any Mac users wondering this answer, it's Command + Shift + 3

You should be able to use Microsoft Paint for this.  Try pressing PrtScn and if it doesn't work, try pressing Ctrl+PrtSch.  Sometimes the Ctrl button is needed and sometimes it's not.  Next, open MS Paint and click Edit, Paste.
