Hi all
How do you take screenshots in the game?
I have tried to use 3 or 4 programs but all i get is a black picture.

If you are using a Windows machine, tap PrtScn on your keyboard. This copies your screen to the clipboard. Go to your favorite image editor (e.g. MS Paint) and paste the image. Edit or simply save.

can't take screenshots in full-screen. You'll have to use windowed mode (as I understand it)

I like to use the snipping tool that comes with Windows 7. I just draw a box around what I want a picture of and import it into my favourite drawing program.

I use Fraps. Works great since you can take multiple screens without ALT+TAB out.

Have had some unexpected crashes in WitW since I started using fraps though.

Hello

It should be possible to take screenshots in full-screen if you switch off the Windows Aero interface. It is a Windows problem.
