About Screenshots

[Garret76]

Just recently my screen shot capture stopped working, I checked my document form an ballow screenshots is 1 as always but in my data the main is 0 , is it ok to change that to a 1 , or will that mess with my game?

[Ark of Truth]

It will be fine to turn that to 1 as it will allow you to take screenshots from within Oblivion using the print screen key on the keyboard.

Thanks again Ark , had it working before , but was afraid to change it in my main data folder, also got format factory you suggested , was just what I was looking for

Its changed in documents but not registering in my main oblivion _default file , tried to change that an it will not let me , now that seems odd to me.

The "Oblivion.ini" file you have to edit is usually somewhere in C:\, e.g. "C:\user\own documents\my games\oblivion". Check if the file is protected; right-click, Properties and remove the check mark of "write protected" or something if it's there.

The default ini file should be left alone and not edited. The game is using it to generate a new one in case the current ini is damaged, lost or deleted.

Like Perfectioncat said in the other thread, check your video settings if Anti-Aliasing is enabled. It's not possible to use the in-game screen capturing function with AA in effect.

 

If your problem persists even with AA disabled you can download and use a free third-party screen capturing software.

The most popular and widely used one is FRAPS.
