Is it possible to take screenshots of CoTA in multiplayer? A friend of mine says you get disconnected if you minimize after hitting print screen. I tried running FRAPS and FastStone Capture; neither worked. FRAPS recognized the intro movie but not the game itself. FastStone gives me a savegame popup everytime I snap a shot.

Any suggestions? It'll be hard to post a multiplayer AAR without screenshots.

I use save games for AARs while playing. The save games give you much more flexibility for making screenshots later. I would do the same thing in MP too.

Just hit Print Screen. Then Alt Tab to your favourite paint program ( I use PaintShop Pro ) and paste. Then Alt Tab back to the game.

My friend says alt-tabbing kills your connection in multiplayer games. Is he wrong?

I hadn't thought of using savegames for screenshots, but that's a reasonable workaround. I assume we can save during multiplayer sessions?

It doesn't here on XP Pro. What's his system OS?

It doesn't here on XP Pro. What's his system OS? Is he connecting via broadband or dial up modem or LAN?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure he's connecting via broadband connection using TCP/IP. I'll check, and I'll taking a screenshot during multiplayer myself.
