Screenshot help.

[Vanqu!sh]

Ok I've noticed recently that whenever I press F12 to take a screenshot, my AC client shuts down. I don't have any mods (don't know how to lol), and I only have one script which tells you how much damage your nades do, so I don't think the problem is because of something I've done.

It says "Win32 Error" or something. It takes the ss anyway, but it's still annoying, especially in the middle of a 1v1 or something.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Try doing: /screenshottype 2
if that doesn't fix it, take screenshots when you aren't in fullscreen.

To clarify, it's an issue with the jpeg algorithm on some hardware at some resolutions. Using .bmp or .png will fix it.

Ronald_Reagan I tried that. It didn't crash my computer but it didn't take a screenshot either, which was saddening I guess.

Jamz, you say "some hardware at some resolutions". thinking about it, I have only had this problem since I adjusted the screen width/height from 800x600 to 1000x600, does this mean if I changed it back the problem would be gone?

/screenshottype 2 will change screenshot format.
Type it and use /screenshot or F12 to take screenshot.

Yes, changing it back to 800x600 will probably fix it, but setting it to screenshottype 2 (png) should also fix it. I'm surprised you even got 1000x600 to work. I can't seem to do non-standard sizes.
Try some other resolutions, but if you really want 1000x600, use screenshottype 0 and compress them yourself later.
I'm sure OpenSource means F12, BTW.

[DES|OpenSource]

Yes, of course it was F12.

More info:

Since getting a new laptop + new monitor, my AC also crashed when I tried to screenshot. (So either "jpeg algorithm on some hardware" issue with my new laptop, or resolution issue with my new monitor [1400 x 900] ^^ )

RR suggested me to switch to /screenshottype 2 and it works fine now (=

This worked! Thanks :D
