Newcomer / Intro How do you take screenshots on Windows 8?

Not sure how, I figured out the debug camera but I'm interested where to go. When I use print screen it doesn't work for me.

Is this what you are looking for

Alt + Prt Scr - this will capture your active window only rather than the whole screen.

You would then have to paste into an image application to then save it.

ED screen shoots are taken using F10 as default and saved into there folder.

Its more than a default. You cant change it, and if you map something to F10, it will do BOTH

Alt-F10 does a Hi Res grab, but not in Open Mode

Or you can start the game trought the steam client and use the steam overlay printscreen fonction du capture images.

And you get Hi Res Screenshots ? Or just screenshot at your current resolution ?
It should be the latter, and "alt" being of no use here.
When you make Hi Res screenshots, the game should freeze for a little while.

So if screenshots are saved to a folder - where is it and what is it called???
