You could try "print scrn"

[Leetskeet]

Run something like Fraps or MSI Afterburner

[CocoaJin]

So I have to 3rd party? I cant trust that it wont make my performance worse.

Download Fraps. It doesn't effect performance. And it is free.

I tried it actually... couldnt find where they would be saved even if it worked.

Hmmm, i guess there is away to do it without using up to much HDD space if i use it in spurts.

MSI Afterburner... its free.

[skullman86]

MSI afterburner is also nice cause you can set up a fan control profile for your video card at the same time

Paint is the go-to program for print screen screenshots, just tap print screen alt-tab out and open paint and paste into it.

I do think we need a screenshot button though.

Hell, yeah. MWO's all about 3rd parties. 3rd party VOIP, 3rd party tutorials, 3rd party screenshots. Maybe there's a 3rd party out there that can allow me to assign a function to my mouse wheel too huh? Anyone know of anything?

[PurpleNinja]

If you have Steam, you can add MWO to game library and use F12 to take screenshots.
BTW, MWO integrates fine on Steam.

Print Screen just saves the image to your clipboard. Just go into Paint and press ctrl+V. Voila.

Still, I have to agree that fraps is the way to go.

Not sure if it is just me, but Print Screen only work if you do it in windowed mode. You just get a black square if you do it when running Full Screen for some reason.

It's not just you. I get nothing but a black rectangle too. An in-game screenshot button would be great.
