Hey guys,
Since 2 months now I can't make a screenshot without crashing my assaultcube,
The error is: Can't find *the name of my last screenshot here*.
The weird thing is I can still make a screenshot and it also save it like usual.
Reinstalling AssaultCube isn't helping either.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance,
Subby

Where did you install the game?

That error doesn't sound like it's from AC. How about you make a screenshot of it?
Also - in case you reinstall at some point: make sure, you don't choose the "XP" option during installation. That's of no use to anyone...

I asked where did you install the game, not where you downloaded it. Anyway, Stef pointed it out, it's a different issue than a not well installation, when you didn't have the right to write in the installation folder to save a screenshot, it was crashing AC, but the screenshot wasn't saved.

(This post was last modified: 01 Sep 14, 03:54PM by Vanquish.)
The exact same thing happened to me, and it was because I was trying to save my screenshot as a JPEG (as is default) when I experimented with an odd screen resolution (my old monitor had a 5:4 aspect ratio or something, not sure if AC supports/supported 1280x1024 natively).
Anyway, typing /screenshottype 2 will change the format in which your screenshots are captured from JPEG to PNG, which fixed the problem for me. You should then be able to just /screenshot or F12 as normal. Best of luck, hope it works out!

Stef, I will send one as soon as possible, but it would be in Dutch.
I can put a translation under it if you want.
