Uhm.......where?
That folder does not exist. Patch notes are pretty vague, so I created that folder, in that spot, using my user name....and nothing.
How do we take screen shots again? (yup, just read the FAQ, and I'm here)
Also, WHERE is the cache I used to delete once a month, or after every patch?

thanks

The patch isn't out yet... few more hours for that (always starts at 10AM Pacific)


Pretty sure its always been the printscreen button, its just that currently it goes to where you installed MWO.

fellas, I know that, I know the folder they are supposed to be in, it doesn't exist.
Yup, printscreen.


I thought these changes came about the last patch? Alexander addressed it in an 'announcement' the day after the last patch.
Where all the last two years of screenshots just scrubbed then?
well, if theres a new patch today, I'll wait and see if its fixed.

edit: oh, nope to running the "repair tool" that has been an enormous disaster on my computer. I've used it 3 times. Never, ever again. never fixed a problem, only created them

Well that's weird.

Try just searching your hard drive(s) for "screenshot" since that's what mwo's naming scheme is and make a note of where the pics are.

As for if the last two years will be there....I'm not sure. My oldest pics in the new folder are from the end of October but I'm not sure if they're the oldest ones I should have since an Uninstall/Reinstall wiped out all my pics from the last couple years...

...I can't remember ever uninstalling a game that didn't automatically leave your screenshots folder intact or at least ask you if you wanted to delete them...

It's NOT the /user file in your MWO folder. It's C/USER. Not C/Pirahna/MWO/USER. Not in the game folder

By ''username" i meant your windows user name. Your windows logon, not your mwo name.

C:\Users\[windows user name]\Saved Games\MechWarrior Online\ScreenShots

That's the path to the folder.
