How do I screenshot my gaaaaaaaaame - burge4150 - 10-14-2014

How do I take in game screen shots?

I tried the print screen method and then pasting into paint, but it pastes an image of the amnesia loading screen no matter whats on the screen with I hit print screen.

Shit's haunted.

Get another program to do it ^-^

If you have the game on steam, steam can take pictures for you.
(Maybe it's even possible to add Amnesia as a non-steam game and take pictures that way)

Otherwise, find another program to do it ^-^

The easiest temporary solution might just be to run the game in windowed mode, then print screen it. But if you go for Fraps, I don't think you even need to use the full version to take pictures. There is that 30 second recording limit on the trial one, but I expect the screenshot functionality to work fine?

F8 should take a screen and save it in the game directory.

This is what I wanted to know, I didn't see it in the control input options.

I have the GoG version and that thing just takes over the whole PC. I can't alt-tab out (makes script tweaking annoying), I can't talk in vent while in game or do anything other than play the game.

F8 it is, thanks!

You can't tab out of the game ^-^

But you can play in windowed mode.
