Screenshot Issue

[Aviar]

I have been using ScreenHunter Free to take screenshots for several years. After moving IL-2 from WIN XP to WIN 8.1, I now have an issue.

When I attempt to take a screenshot from my IL-2 gameplay, the only shots I get are from the IL-2 start-up screen (see screenshot).

This is very strange. I am already in the game flying my plane, but when I take a screenshot, it comes back showing the start-up screen at 10%.

Any ideas of what may be causing this?

Use the default screenshot key in IL2 it works perfect with 8.1 and all previous Windows OS's

Under setup misc setting in the gui you can set the screenshots to jpg or tga

A new folder is created called screenshots in the root directory.

Pardon me, but which root directory?

IL2 1946 installation folder.

EG:S:\IL2 1946 4.12\Screenshots

Can I have my thread back, please? Thanks.

I am not looking for a workaround. I know how to take screenshots within IL-2. I prefer to use this particular program.

So, if anyone may have some insight into my dilemma, I would appreciate your feedback.

Only Pro supports gaming screen shots according to their compare list.

The problem isn't with IL2 1946 or Win 8.1 but a piece of software outside of the native program this forum supports.

If the company advertises compatibility with Win 8.1 take issue with them.

Good Luck.

Edit looking at the associated problems with it I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
Special download to remove the mess.

ScreenHunter Free 6.0.203 is corrupt or is not working properly.

PS:
My guess would be its reading screen shots from the memory buffers hence the delay.
