gladiatt -> No screenshot (11/12/2015 6:16:25 PM)
How in the hell could be explain that screenshot can't be taken from WitW ? Using the "print screen" key, and opening paint, i manage to have a screenshot of my desk...but trying with the game, nada, nothing, nichts ! Using Xnview, first of all so many hotkeys are used by the game that my key by default could not work. At least after near an hour reading the manual, it seem F8 is not used in the game. I take this key for capture...and the only thing i take for screenshot is an bacl screen... Is there so many shield on this game that this simples ways of having screnshot can't work ? Or am i just plain stupid and i can send back the game to my provider ?

Print screen in window mode should work just fine. There could be a problem in full screen mode. There were several threads with suggestions on this matter. Ex. http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3760403

Ex. http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3760403 Ok, window mode allow the use of "print screen" key. But i am unable to see the bottom of the window [:@] and there is no menu to edit the size of the window. And unable to understand how this damn game work. I thought genuisly that beeing able to play WitP would mean being able to understand an other Gary Grigsby game. SO i was wrong. Back to other things, maybe i could find something interesting to do rather than games.

Back to other things, maybe i could find something interesting to do rather than games. I have a mac but I use PC's at work. The best bet for screen shots for PC is one of the several freeware applications you can download and install. For the Mac the normal CMD-SH-4 and stretch the rubber band works a treat. As for "how this damn game work", try the recent link to all the many tutorials that have been posted. And for that matter, have you watched and then replayed yourself the set of tutorial videos that came with the game? Here is the link that was posted of all the known tutorials: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3964247 There should be plenty there to help. And the one sheet helpers at the back of the players guide are really helpful to have printed out to refer to for "how do I do that"? questions. It's got a steep learning curve but it's a deep game. Start with small scenarios and work up and it's very manageable.

(though for some reason I had difficulty attaching picture this time and had to edit message to get it attached). I was also not able to use print screen to capture the screen and I had same issue with windowed mode not showing the whole game screen but when I moved my tool bar to the side and then used the windows maximize button, the whole screen did show without trimming.
