How do you take "non-rift" screenshots when using the rift?

I tried to look around but the screenshots I take when using the rift are dual-image, low quality, rounded by a fish-eye effect... in other terms, useless...
I tried through Open Broadcaster screenshot, same thing...

There is no point taking a 3d screenshot really, can't we just get a regular screenshot even when using the rift?

Thanks!

That hasn't worked for ages... (ALT-F10).

Did it magically start working again?

EDIT: Nope, just tested, still gives the double vision screen shot.

I don't know why it doesn't work on your side. It does work on my side. This screenshot was taken while I'm using DK2:

Thanks for the reply...

Does the "second" screen only show up for screenshots, or is it always on capturing and displaying what's in the rift on first monitor?
Does this take any resource from the GPU?

Thanks!

The second screen will show what you're seeing in DK2 in 2D and single picture (not double 3D like you seen on F10 screenshot). It's also useful if you cannot read it, you can take DK2 off and look at the monitor. When you press ALT+F10, I assume it will take screenshot on second screen.

I'm not sure how impact the performance it will on your GPU. It didn't affect mine at all. Try it out, if it does affect the performance, just remove it from AppConfig. One thing, when you hit ALT+F10, it will cause some freeze up - it's okay, it will go back normal right after it's done with screenshot.

If I recall correctly, ALT+F10 has been removed from ED when playing Private or Open Play, reason being, is the delay it causes has issues with keeping every player in sync, and so could be abused in a way to possibly be used to a players advantage. If you play Solo, then it should still work though.

Good god, advantage? People are getting free 5Bil credits and they are worried about a few milliseconds of sync over the internet? lol. Will wonders never cease. Thanks though, will try in Solo.

Is this just Rift/VR specific? I'm pretty sure my non rifting buddies still have this ability. I guess I'll look for other alternatives. Thanks for the reply.

I believe there was good reason for it, but as for the Billionaires, at least they appear to be getting taken care of now.

It wasn't Rift specific, as the high res snapshots affected everyone regarding causing a delay.
