Taking screenshots with Windows 10...

Post by JoeCapricorn »

This may be a noob question (or rather an oldhead who hasn't been around in a while question) but I tried taking a screenshot of a map I'm working on. Using Print Screen produced an all black image. Of course, to find a resolution to the problem, I searched this forum. All of the recommendations were to go into the compatibility tab under settings for bzone.exe and bz2edit.exe and check "disable desktop composition".

This option is not available for Windows 10 users. I looked up how to disable desktop composition and it seems they took the ability to turn it off away in Windows 8.

There has to be another way, right? e.e

I want to share what I've been doing the last couple of days.

If you launch bz*.exe via Steam -- add it via Games -> Add a non-steam game -- you can use F12 to have Steam take a screenshot.
