    Print screen not working

    After trying to get one, which came out all black, I was told that was a bug in Defiance. However, I'm seeing screenshots here and there in posts. So how do we take them?

    I would think running the game in "windowed (full screen)" using print screen then pasting into paint or some other graphic program would work or you can try a program like FRAPS to take screenshots, here is a long thread from awhile back that should give you some other options

    Okay thanks, but dumb question. How do I run in windowed mode? I don't see anything, even in settings that will allow that.

    Steam has a built in image capture that you can use, if you play via steam. If you don't play via steam, but have steam installed, you could actually add the game to steam and again use it to capture images.

    Yes what Warduke said, Steam is actually pretty good for it, also I run 2 monitors and when I print screen I have also the other monitor on it, Steam will only capture the game itself.

    IMO, it's a screen resolution issue. Were you trying to view the saved screen shots with MS Paint? Set your game resolution lower to say 1024 x 768 and paint can handle it.
