Screenshot not working (1.4.22 ) Thread - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

I'm still using 1.4.22 and haven't moved to 1.5+ yet. Did a thread search but didn't see anything on this topic.

Anyway, I just discovered that somehow all the screenshots made are not saved in the screenshot folder. It worked previously so I don't know when this happened.

Initially thought the key binding (F12) was the problem and switched it to PrntScrn but that was the not the problem.

Checked user.ltx and it showed sv_savescreenshots 0 so I changed it to sv_savescreenshots 1 but that didn't do anything either. Did a search for all jpg files but none of them are the screenshots that were supposed to be saved.

Is there something wrong with the screenshot function or is there supposed to be a line in user.ltx or any file somewhere that specifies into which folder screenshots are supposed to be saved in?

Where are you looking for them? They're in appdata\screenshots for me, F12.

Nope. They're not in there. I mean the folder is there but there's nothing in it. I've set the key back to F12 and pressed it several times in-game. Still nothing.

Is there any particular file I have to edit? Maybe adding a missing save path? If so, then which file that I'll need to edit and at which part?

The path to where the game is saving screenshots is in fsgame.ltx in games main directory, e.g:

$screenshots$ = true| false| $app_data_root$| screenshots\

But it should be okey by default.

Just checked fsgame.ltx. The line you mentioned above is there.

Maybe I'll try scaling back mods one by one because screencaps totally worked previously. The last I installed was Ignite or Extinguish Campfires - Moddb.com. Could a mod possibly impact screencap because of scripts, etc?

Not sure, you could also try to delete user.ltx, it will reset some settings and key bindings.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it when I get back home. Just curious though, is it perfectly safe to delete user.ltx? Never tried that before.

is it perfectly safe to delete user.ltx?

Yes, game will create a new one on the next startup using default settings.

It worked! Thank you very much melighos! Now the screencap is back to normal.
