Title: Stupid Windows Question...
Post by: nrshida on November 26, 2017, 06:07:06 AM
Trying to make a screenshot of something which doesn't show up in the film viewer only in live gameplay. My PC has a Print Screen button but I can't seem to find any new pictures when I bash away on it. Does this function work anymore in Windows?

If you are running the DX9 version of the game, you can use the game ALT-S command to save a screenshot.  It will be placed in the "scrshot" folder where the game is installed.

Print screen still works in Windows, the image being stored in the Clipboard until a new clip takes its place. You can paste the Clipboard items into an appropriate program, i.e. images to Paint and texts to Wordpad and the likes. If you need a shot of a particular window, Alt + Print Screen copies only the active window.

If you need to take a screenshot during playing AH, the best choice is Alt + S which will make a screenshot into the C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High III\scrshot folder. It takes a while for a screenshot to save so you can't make them every two seconds. 10 - 15 seconds intervals may be a reasonable expectation.

Alt + S works has been working for me in the Dx11 version as well.
