Trouble taking screenshots

[RyansPlace]

IrFanView doesn't work either. Here is an example of the results I get. It is a blank pick with a cursor and some menu bar symboligy. I'm using VISTA. What is blocking my screen shots?

Close IL-2. Delete all your .tag screenshots. Then run IL-2

Try to capture 3 screen shots, then pause the game and go to the Il-2 directory and grab them immediately (and move them elsewhere, say your desktop), then open them up with irfanview.

If that works for you . . . and you can view them . . .

It might be that IL-2 can only capture a certain amount of screenshots and for some reason once you break the limit they all get like that.

I was having that issue, I'd do a grip of captures, and all my screenies were black.

Then I kept grabbing them as I made them . . . and in sets of 4 they showed up.

And I had used print scrn button as a IL-2 command, for . . . prev stage super charger . . . and my ch button was mapped to that key . . . I made it so the print scrn, scroll lock keys were kept unused . . .

I have the same issue with vista, you can bypass that by using fraps to take your screenshots.

Are you running the game in full-screen-mode? Clean IL2?

I was using Vista over a year now and I never had a problem making screenshots.


That picture below looks a lot as like you pressed CTRL-Printscreen instead of Printscreen alone.
