[GAME/PERFORMANCE] How to take screenies
Find the line "bAllowScreenShot=0" in your .ini files and change it to "bAllowScreenShot=1", save and close. Next time you play you can press the Print Screen key on your keyboard to take a screenie. The .ini files you need to modify are here: C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblvion\Oblivion.ini (thanks to Blocky for the tip!) Edit: drasca had this to say (reference) Quote:First off, an overview of screenshot basics:

yeah, for some reason Bethesda made it really hard to take screenshots. For my screenshots to work both Oblivion.ini had to have that bAllowScreenShot toggled to 1.

I have toggled it in both .ini files but I'm still not able to take screenies in-game. The ones I've taken in Reich Parkeep were made in windowed mode and using a screencap program. Do I need to create a special folder or something like that?

No. It saves them into the C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion folder. I don't know what the problem is. :eek:

Strange. Perhaps the game is using US keyboards as the template, and the key marked Print Screen on my keyboard isn't the same as the game thinks it should be. I'll try some different keys and see if that works.

Will screenshots not work if you have AA enabled?

It should still work even if it's enabled. Did you try it without it on as well?

I can report that the problem, once again, turned out to be Windows x64 which has been causing me a lot of problems in various areas. Now that I'm back to using normal 32-bit Windows XP suddenly the screenshot function works. :bananarock:
