No sceenshots in windows 8.1?
Hi all, cant get any screenshots in windows 8.1, im set to use jpeg and in my conf ini it has screenshots=1 and printscreen=screenshots, also dosnt create a screenshots folder. have a vista install and no problems. Both are in sas mod activator but trying screens in modact and in game stock selected thru mod activator. Works in vista but not in win 8.1. Any help greatly appreciated.
Code:
[il2]copy |
Works perfect in Win 8.1 v4.12.2
Works perfect in Win 8.1 v4.12.2 + HSFX v7.02 |
Where do you have IL2 installed? If it's in the regular "Program Files (x86)" folder, you may need to look in "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\VirtualStore\Progra m Files (x86)" for the game's folder containing those screenshots.
From Vista onward, programs are no longer allowed to store their data in their Program Files folder. Anything written to that folder is instead redirected to the virtual folder. |
My path is C:Games/ Ubisoft/Il2 etc, cant find anything like that in users, it has no app data etc.

The fact you have no screenshots folder could be the problem as when you hit "print screen" key the folder is created and the image stored inside.
Your file path for the game installation is correct as its outside of the program folders so isn't affected by windows file structure security or UAC. You may have to set permissions on the containing folder, see image below. |
still no joy tried both ideas, do i need a aftermarket photo program just to see the files, i can see other downloaded jpeg etc in my pictures. it also insnt generating a screenshots folder, i tested the printscreen key by openiong a picture in my pictures and pressing the key and pasted the image onto a word pad so that tells me the printscreen key is working. conf ini has printscreen=screenshot so im stumped..

As said, the fact you are unable to write to the folder creating a screenshot seems like a permissions thing, are you able to make changes to the "conf" file and they stay changed after launching the IL2 .exe flying closing the IL2 .exe and returning to desktop.
I had this on another 8.1 system where no changes could be made even on a separate hard drive until the permissions were set to allow for administrator. |
i should be using administrator? or user? and all boxes are ticked except the bottom one special. i can change and it keeps changes in conf ini, still no luck.
