Ummm.. I don't have a printscreen key. How am I supposed to take screenshots? :mellow:

What operating system and what keyboard do you have? I know for Macs/Mac Keyboard its Fn Shift F11

Windows 7 and some weird Toshiba laptop keyboard.

Search for everything with prt or sc on your keyboard

I found it. FN + End. Though.. it doesn't save anything into a folder. People keep on talking about screenshot folders for their FL. Do they seriously paste every screenshot into paint and save it into a folder? :wacko:

Check under your Pictures folder that comes standard as part of Microsoft. That's where my screenshots from game end up under "Freelancer Shots"

C:\Users\<Username>\Pictures\FreelancerShots

This is the directory for Windows 7.

No, it is automatically saved into the folder once the PrintScreen button is pressed. Unfortunately, it sounds like you have the general Windows PrintScreen command, not the FL-specific one which is bound to the PrintScreen key.

You can either:
1) Bind FL's screenshot command to a different key.
2) When booting up your computer, go into the BIOS and see if you can change the command/function key settings.
3) Download, install, and run Fraps. It is a dedicated screen-capturing program for images, video and audio, and integrates fine with Freelancer. It has a Screenshot function bound to a Function key.


Edit: The FreelancerShots folder is only generated the first time a screenshot is taken using FL's screenshot command.

Nope. No Freelancer Shots folder.:mellow:

EDIT: How do I rebind? I couldn't find the command to rebind ingame.

Use FRAPS

Pretty much this.
