Hiya, folks. I run NWN in Windowed Mode because I have a two-monitor setup, and like to keep chat windows and Firefox and iTunes open on my other screen for quick use while RPing. However, I've discovered to my dismay that screenshots turn out completely black when taken in Windowed Mode. Yes, even the ones saved in the NWN folder. This is unfortunate, because I've witnessed quite a few really spectacular events and taken screenshots of them, only to later discover that I left the metaphorical lens cap on. Because of this, even though this character has been alive for a month and a half so far, I don't have a single screenshot of him.

So: Is there any way at all to take sceenshots in Windowed Mode? Or do I HAVE to, HAVE to use Full Screen?

I'm not sure what your problem is. I play in window mode exclusively, have since I started on EfU and have never had an issue with my screenshots like that. Sorry I can't help you more, but at least you know it's not a common fault with window mode.

Maybe it's due to the fact that I run two monitors?

I'm using PrntScrn to make my screenshots, which creates a NWN####.tga file in my NeverwinterNights folder. This tga, however, turns out blank.

Use Alt-PrtScrn and then paste it into whatever photo/graphics editing program you use. You can then adjust the contrast and size and save it as whatever file type you like.

^^^ Is what works for me. Otherwise I have the same problem you do.

Try Fraps maybe, the free version will take your pics and short video clips. If it works, the full version is cheap!

Sounds like an odd problem. I've got two monitors and I'm running NWN in windowed mode and taking screenshots works just fine.

Quickly switching to fullscreen can be done by pressing alt+enter, so if your screenshots work fine that way, it's not much of a hassle really. I'm running Windows XP, so if you've got Vista, that might also cause the problem.

I had same sort of problems, make sure your key is properly mapped at the game controls, that might help. It seems it still take shots with print screen even if the key is mapped....but not always.

If your running mac, I run in windowed and apple-f10 will take a single window screenshot. Work's just fine.

I don't think windows has an equivalent, though. Soz.

I had some issues with screens too as I paly on windowed mode too.

HOWEVER, with 1.69 it seems all screens now appear in new "screenshots" folder. Has 1.69 solved your situation too? Although perhaps further testing is needed to make sure it happens always...
