Screenshots for AAR?

Post by airboy »

I printed out the hotkeys page - but did not find a key for screenshots.

Is there a screenshot key?

If not, what software is suggested to make screenshots?

Thanks!

F11 and F12 keys will generate PNG and JPG files respectively of the current game screen in your USER folder 'Screenshots' folder. This would be next to where your saved game files would be found on your PC.

But this only takes screenshots of the game screen and not any sub screens like the Diplomacy, or War Map screen etc.

Otherwise you could use the built in program in Windows called Snip to take screenshots.

There is some info on this built in tool found here:

I used <cntrl><prtintscreen>
Then opened paint and used the paste command.
Then edit
Then save as jpg

Many thanks - this is what I was looking for.

I have two quick suggestions. First, putting this in the hotkey list would be helpful. Second, if a brief sound like a camera shutter clicking occurred the player would know the screenshot had been taken. For me at least that prevents me from snapping multiple pictures of the same screen.

Thanks again,
Avery
