    Screeshots, how do I get them????

    If possible, could anyone explain how do I take a screenshot, and where would I find it?

    I know if I click "PrtScn", it's supposed to take a screenshot, but I can't find anything under the BF2 folder, so I'm kind lost here.

    Cheers!

    P.S.: Lol, I misspelled the word! I meant to say screenshots!

      Hmmm... Generally PrntScr takes a screenshot and puts it in your clipboard (aka the one you Copy to and Paste from).

      So just take a screenshot and open Paint or Photoshop and CTRL + P there (or of course choose Edit > Paste).

          1st: Thank you for your answers!

          2nd: I did not have a "screenshots" directory under \mydocuments\battlefield 2, so I created one, and yesterday while in-game I clicked "prtscn", and still nothing.

          Is there some option one has to choose in-game?

          Thanks in advance.

            theres no enable option in BF2, bit odd though,,

            alternativly you could use Fraps; http://www.fraps.com/download.php

              I dont think u need to create the folder, it creates itself when u hit the PS key, start/my documents/ bf2/screenshots,
              obviously open up bf2 & take one first. but if that didnt work do like doggie said above, works for me that way i have photo v9

                Screenshots don't appear when they're taken of the score-sheets at the end of each round. At least for me. :)

                    I figured out why it was not working, and it's quite simple; One needs to click the "flock" key to "turn-on" the "prtscn" key on the keyboard, then it will work, and the directory "screenshots" is automatically created for you once you click "prtscn" it in-game.

                    It's one of those "duhh!!!!" moments! :-)

                    Cheers
