Windows 8 - Unable to save screenshot - SDraw - 28.12.2012

So, title says...
Neither "Run as administrator" (SA-MP crash) nor compatibility nor reinstalling both SA-MP and GTA SA nor deleting of gta_sa.set doesn't help...
No mods...
Windows 8 Professional x32, AMD Radeon HD 6310 (latest drivers)
P.s. Yes, I tried to search on forum, nothing...

I tried to save a screenshot also, it wouldn't work for me.

You can always use fraps, lool

I find messing with the resolution fixes this problem, it happened to me until I raised the resolution a little.


Re: Windows 8 - Unable to save screenshot - Smxe - 28.12.2012

Yes, I am also having this issue and its annoying.


Re: Windows 8 - Unable to save screenshot - Judas666 - 29.12.2012

I have this issue, but I use fraps instead.

Maybe security settings in My Documents are screwed ... try checking it out and uncheck the "Do not allow writing" permission thing.. let everything allow ..

I have Windows 8 and I do not have this issue.


Re: Windows 8 - Unable to save screenshot - Jochemd - 29.12.2012

I got no problems with Windows 8. You should not play with permissions if you don't know how they work...


Re: Windows 8 - Unable to save screenshot - Azn - 29.12.2012

I have a better idea...hold fn when you press f8 it usually helps...
if not try hold alt and f8...
I'm a win 8 user...I know what you mean...

It hasn't helped...

Try using Win+PrintScreen.

A new feature in Windows 8 saves the screenshots automatically to your Pictures directory/library, instead of having to paste into paint.

It'll be saved in: C:\Users\{USER}\Pictures\Screenshots

EDIT:

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!
Windows Key + Print Screen Key works while IN GAME!
I took this in game:

I have already written that this doesn't help...Besides, Schurman has already found another way to save screenshots...


Re: Windows 8 - Unable to save screenshot - Tygaa - 16.04.2013

I got the same error, I tried all of them, none of them worked.

Edit: It was the resolution.


Re: Windows 8 - Unable to save screenshot - alimash - 16.04.2013

I think the best way for taking a screen shot is this :
Use your mobile camera and take a pic then send it into your camputer ( eazy way )
LOL

Even though the problem is solved, I cannot resist asking if you really are saying this or trolling.
If not, ever heard of the PRT SC button on your keyboard?

Your method:-
1) Capture a CRAPPY quality screenshot with poor lighting in your mobile,
2) Connect it through USB,
3) Transfer it to your PC.
4) Post it and use it.

PRT SC method:-
1) Press PRT SC and paste the quality capture in paint. Use it.

Which seems to be easier?
Cheers, and you are welcome
