Ingame screenshots

[Paladin88]

how do I take screenshots?

Just push the print scrn/sysRq key, if that doesn't work just try pressing all the F row keys at the top till you find one that makes the game freeze for just a split sec.

thx for helping, but I dont want to press all the F keys in case it messes my game up

It's easy. Just do the following to make it look best:

- open console (depends on you language, for you Ctrl+Shift+~ I think)
- type /taskbar_hide
- type /game_hideui
- if you are watching a replay, you may also enter /message_hide
  to disable the "Replay" message on the screen
- Now simply press the "Print" button on your keyboard or use a
  screenshot program like Fraps.
- if you want to go another step further and take an ultra high
  resolution picture, type /Misc_SuperScreenshot

Have fun

Or use this: http://www.fraps.com/

You can make screenshots, videos and other.

When you take a screenshot with the print screen key, it should automatically save here:
C:\Users\pariah\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\screenshots
Alternatively, you can paste it in Paint or a similar program, but that will of course only allow you to take 1 per game.

If you use steam, you will need to press "shift"+"Print".

Or you could just use a camera.

How about these?

Dear god those are painful...

Dear god those are painful...

Only painful thing about these is the texture quality

As i'm sure everybody knows, if you are going to try to take nice screenshots, you gotta at least use decent graphics! And there was nothing really happening in those pictures...

Maxiking, how does this one work?  Does that mean after you type in the console command all the screenshots taken by PrntScrn will be high res?

[Blackbishop]

Yep, the command was already there :

Misc_SuperScreenshot()     
Takes a screenshot without the taskbar, team colours or buttons visible, even without the taskbar_hide command being used.

@Yau: It does a one-time high res screenshot. At the time it takes the screenshot, the screen may make strange moves.
