Was trying to get a snapshot of a match end result and it didnt get saved

Could this be the fault of my keyboard or Windows 8 related?

Not really good at computer stuff

I think it may be something to do with the mode you are playing. Are you in full screen, full windowed or windowed. IIRC, someone told me that print screen doesn't work when in full screen.

Don't hold me to that and hopefully someone with a better answer will post here but give it a try ;)

Yeah, I'm in fullscreen

I'll go try out windowed mode in the testing grounds and see if it works

PrintScreen being the OS command to save to the clipboard, does weird things regarding fullscreen/full window and requires you to go to a program to paste the screendump.

F12 is the default MWO screencap button, and will handily save a screenshot for you directly to the mechwarrior online/user/screenshots directory regardless of window mode setting
