TableTop66 -> RE: Taking screenshots (12/19/2021 9:02:39 AM)

I must admit I have struggled with this problem as well, and it has held me back from working on posting some screenshots and contributions for this forum. The print screen key is useless for Combat Mission, I get just the start screen and you are limited to one screenshot at a time. I have also had little success with various free screen capture software available on a limited trial basis in which the programs will take the screen shot but then draw distance in Combat Mission is reduced resulting in missing trees etc.
The solution I have found and if your computer is Windows 10 is to check to make sure the X-box game bar is active in your settings - Gaming etc. If it's active then to take a screenshot - Windows Key + Alt + PrtScrn. Screenshots will usally save to - C:\Users\User\Videos\Captures

If you still have problems and you have a Nvidia graphics card with only drivers installed, then install GeForce Experience if your card can support it and then register it.
(Note: Combat Mission games may not appear in the home menu and are not supported for optimizing using GeForce Experience, but for recording videos of Combat Mission and taking screenshots it's really good.

As you can see above the screenshots in the links are the same - Scenario/Map (Ambush), using both Win10 Game Bar and GeForce Experience providing good images with the full draw distance which is what you want if you going to do ARR type posts etc. Now that you can do as many screenshots as you like, use ALT +TAB keys to go back and forth between the game and your images in your folders to help get that exact angle/distance on your screenshots etc.
