screenshots

when you take them, where do you find them at? i took them with the print scr button on the keyboard.

I typically use X-fire now. But I think the print screen puts the pics in the 2142 My Documants directory on your "C" drive.

There are other threads out there about this.

But when you press "Print Screen". It saves it to your clipboard. So after you take the screenshot you open mspaint or whatever you use and Paste it. There you have it.

I believe that Print Screen only saves on SS. Right?

X-Fire is pissing me off with screenshots. I take a screenshot... then later (rounds later sometimes) I take another and I end up with 2 of the second screenshot.

Spanky is correct, at least as far as Windows XP is concerned. I can't verify on Vista.

Look in the My Documents folder, you will find another folder labeled BF2142. Drill down into there. In game print screens will save to that folder.

Caveat - if you take a screenshot in between rounds, such as on the awards screen, then WorstPE is correct, it is being held on the clipboard and you will need to paste it into MSPaint or a Word document or something before you press the PrtScr button again or it will be gone.

X-Fire - no idea. Easy to look up though.

I had that happen to me a bunch lately... I thought I was crazy and had just been taking two screenshots of one thing and not ever actually getting a SS of the first.

For xfire, you should have the option to automatically upload them to your account. If a problem such as say BSOD or the ever feared EAREOD (EA Random Error of Death), you can go to your xfire SS folder in the xfire directory of Program Files on your default HD.
