Odd CMx2 Screenshot Behavior

[Lt. Smash]

I used to be able to take fine looking screenshots. However, these days, when I take a screenshot using these keys, a few things happen:

1. The shot is not always of the scene I am viewing. It might be of the CMx2 main menu. It might be of the last thing I took a screenshot of.
2. The quality is low. Even though I can easily play CMx2 on the "Best" 3D model and texture settings and I have shaders turned on, the screenshots often appear to be lower quality almost like "Fastest" quality graphics.

I am running Windows 10 with a nVidia GeForce 750ti graphics card and the latest drivers. I have tried PrtScn key, Win-PrtScn, the nVidia Experience screen capture utility and Bandicam. I get the same results every time.

Does anybody have any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks.

Smash, out.

Hi I've had the same problem,

I solved it by using the Nvidia screenshot key. ALT + F1 (You need to have Geforce experience) it works well ...

That happens with me most times I do a screenshot I get the main menu....... I do it a second time then I get what I wanted ….. That's using W10

Try using Fraps. Never failed to work for me.

@Seb Toombs, the GeForce Experience is giving me much better screengrabs. Thanks for the recommendation.

@Bulletpoint, Fraps worked well for me before upgrading to Windows 10.

Fraps crapped out for me too on Win10. I'm happy with Bandicam for its replacement --> https://www.bandicam.com/downloads/

A lot of free paint programs will take a screenshot. Something like GIMP.
