How do you take a screenshot?

I have looked all through the key bindings that I could find and looked around on the UI and I can't find a way to take a screenshot.

Is it possible to take a screenshot in the game? :)

F12 if u play through Steam

Thank you for the info. Well, I used my CD keys from steam directly into Trion and Pre-downloaded it. Hehe Now it looks like to get it to "run through Steam" I have to download and install it again since Steam doesn't recognize that I already have it installed. I guess it's in a different place maybe. Oh well... I suppose it would be worth it if I can take screen shots! :D

You can just press Print Screen and it'll save it to your clipboard, paste into Paint, save.

This doesn't work for me, it just pastes a 1920x1080 blacked out screen.

WTB screenshot button without having to use STEAM.

I've seen other people get the same result. Someone mentioned going into Windowed mode and then using Window's Snipping Tool to get a screenshot, though that is far more inconvenient than simply taking a screenshot should be.

You can actually just add the game to your steam library and that will enable the steam overlay, that is what I did and it works well.

You can use FRAPS or MSI afterburner to take screenshots.

Mmmk, reading the thread before posting would be my advice to you, sir. Good day.

(see post #5, #6)

I don't need, or want to run either of those programs.

This is 2013. Where is my in-game screenshot keybind?

This is a console port, it wasn't designed for the PC. Maybe they'll get around to making it more PC-friendly when they've fixed more urgent issues, but until then, either find alternative solutions or remain screenshotless.

Well I offered advice on how to solve the problem take it or leave it. Yeah it sucks there is no in game keybind.

There are key differences between the PC and console version (I have played both). I do agree it is not a big of an issue as, say, actually saving my keybinds properly, or the consolized UI, or the in-game VOIP that just keeps turning back on. But it's still an inconvenience and I'm pretty sure they could have coded a button for it in ~10 minutes. ;) Lol

As of this moment, that's the only way. I downloaded Fraps myself last night for just this reason. It also puts a handy FPS counter up for you, so you can see if your computer's running the game ok. If you want to record video of yourself playing, Fraps does that, too.

Trion will more than likely add one later, but in the mean time, your choices are 1. Do nothing but fuss and stew about it, or 2. Install Fraps or MSI Afterburner and take your screenshots. You can always uninstall it later, if/when they come out with a native utility.

Well *obviously* I am choosing option #1!

:D

Fwiw, after switching to Windowed mode the basic print screen -> paste into paint method worked fine for me (in Fullscreen I got the same blacked out result).

Obviously not as good as having proper in-game screenshot support (or just having the generic method work with fullscreen), but less hassle than downloading third party software or whatever.

This is kinda stupid. What kind of a game doesn't have its own screenshot button.

Console games, and bad ports.

I was having the black and white issue of nothingness when I did a screen shot but it does work if you put it the game in "windowed" you cannot take a screen shot in full screen mode.

Please don't necro really old threads...
