How to take screenshots?

Fans of the old Panzer General series rejoice for the release of Panzer Corps. Following in the footsteps of the popular SSI masterpiece and sharing with the General series the same level of engagement and strategic depth, Panzer Corps will keep an unmistakable "PG feeling" whilst improving and refining the gameplay and balance. Panzer Corps will feature 26 scenarios on 21 unique maps, covering most major battles of the European Theatre of World War II and including a few hypothetical 'what if' scenarios based on your actions. Now expanded with a full-war mega-campaign and the Afrika Corps and Allied Corps releases!

How to take screenshots?

Post by Longasc »

There seems to be no key to take screenshots, so I tried good old FRAPS.
Unfortunately it turned out Panzer Corps is one of the few games that don't work well with it.

How do you take screenshots, can you recommend me a program or trick?

I am doing it right now via PRINT SCREEN and copy & paste into MS Paint or another image editing software.

Fraps requires direct X what PzC is not using.

We use Irfanview is free, trigger a hotkey of your choice and go screenshot crazy!

With Irfanview, you set your destination folder, picture format, assign a hotkey and many other options. Start Irfanview and hit C, or go to Options/Capture Screenshot. Set your desired settings and press start.

Start the game and just take as many pictures as you like, now you don`t need to alt+tab or quit the program to paste a print screen every time and save them one by one.
