Rob.
joey45 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Was this through the update or a new install? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Jona33 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Give PrtScn a go, that's always been the default for me. Have a look in the options men to see what it's set as in there. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
Viperrm64 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 It was since the 1.2.3. update not a new install,my keyboard has function system prnt scrn is also home(fn not on in the latter)it could be this i'll try a different binding altogether and see what happens.Thanks.

Thanks Rob.
joey45 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Are you sure you are taking screenshots? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Viperrm64 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 Sorry don't know what you mean but yes as far as i know they are BMP screenshots and as stated earlier always worked before.
cichlidfan Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Sorry don't know what you mean but yes as far as i know they are BMP screenshots and as stated earlier always worked before. They are 'jpg' files on my system. EDIT: Actually png files. Forgot that I haven't used DCS screenshots in a while.

Try searching for JPGs on your C Drive to locate where they are going... If that doesn't work, I'd check the Key Bindings and make sure you're actually taking a screenie.

Viperrm64 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 No sorry Sierra can't find any JPG files taken in DCS since update,it's very strange all 1.2.2. and previous version JPG's are there just none since 1.2.3.update. Wierd.
joey45 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Back up the folder and delete it. Then it SHOULD make a new one.

Viperrm64 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 Sorry for my ignorance Joey but which folder the DCS Saved Games Screenshots folder or another one?
joey45 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Sorry, the ScreenShots folder. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Devrim Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I experienced this bug in v 1.2.2 I believe this is related with Windows's quickbar (and tray bar). When I started the mission, Windows bar was appearing, until I click on FLY. After that, I realized ScreenShot (PrtScn) function wasn't working. When I hit Alt+Tab, and went back to game then SS was working! I didn't test v1.2.3 yet.

SkateZilla Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Ditto^, You're not getting Screenshots, But I bet if you close DCS and open Paint, and press Paste, it will paste a screenshot of your desktop. ALT+TAB and then bring DCS back up should resolve. Problem occurs when you have software catching hotkeys or software refusing to let go of Desktop.

Viperrm64 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks for all your help people,I finally found the problem, well several actually, so in case anyone else suffers this hiccup since updating to 1.2.3. here is what I did. 1.SysRq is a dual button press on my Logitech wireless keyboard, FN button then Home. 2.For some reason (on my system anyway)since new 1.2.3. version screenshots are not saved to desktop My Pictures any more,don't know why but there it is(I'm running Win 7 64bit I7 6GB Ram etc.etc.). 3.Thanks to the wonderful members of this forum the Alt-Tab fix is a must. 4.And finally I found that (again this is only on my system won't be the same for everyone)the JPGS are now only saved in Desktop/My Name/Saved Games/DCS/Screenshots and not in the main DCS folder Screenshots folder. Thanks again for all your replys and instruction i'm off to learn to fly a Flanker!!!!!!
