PrtScn button delay - Orin - 10-31-2008
Whenever, and I mean whenever, I snap a shot ingame, I get a lag (as in, screen freezes) for about 3 seconds. If I press it more than once, sometimes it freezes for a lot longer.
Not a big problem, but 3 seconds can screw you up pretty good while in combat. Not to mention let your quarry escape in some cases.
Anyone else have this issue?

Yeah, I get that all the time.

If everyone (or most) get the same problem, no problem. Just hoping I'm not the only one getting raped by computer issues.:P

Happens to me as well, but only for 1, sometimes 2 seconds max. Not entirely sure if you can change it, as its not a big enough problem for me.

It's probably shorter for others with better computers. Mine sucks.
Thanks.

I get half a second maybe, nothing that bothers me
Guess its it saving a file to the hardrive quickly

You need a high spec computer to not suffer from lag when you take a screenshot.
Remember its trying to take a shot of a high resolution image about 3 to 5 Mega-Bytes in size, while rendering the game on-top of that, plus back-ground tasks and anything else along those lines. its worse with FRAPS. I don't lag when hitting print-screen, but I loose a few frames when taking one with FRAPS
Expect a little lag :laugh:

Hey! Mine is a high spec computer...oh well...I have that lag too.
But, I've noticed that it does not happen with Xfire, fraps or 3rd party software, so I suppose it is related to the PrtScn button only.

Three seconds? Really? Wow, that is a bummer.
I get a perceptible freeze sometimes. Prolly not even half a second...sometimes I don't even notice so on my box it might be just below human reaction time...about 200 milliseconds

I get about 1/2 a second rather than three... But yeh there is nearly always a little delay wth prntscrn.
