I can no longer take screenshots with F12?

[ingi]

Hello. Yesterday I noticed at Catalyst that I can no longer take screenshots with F12.

I tried it with another game but it worked without any problems. Is this all related to the server shutdown in December?

The Steam Overlay isn't always activated/functioning when launching the game and it's required for Steam screenshot functionality.

I can consistently get it active by having the EA launcher running, launching the game (doesn't seem to matter if via Steam/EA), quit the game* and re-launching it. Thereafter, as long as the EA launcher is left running, Steam's overlay hooks as normal.

* I let it load and quit via the game menu but maybe Alt-F4 is OK???

Might be other permutations or perhaps disabling the EA overlay might assist but not tested that.

Don't know if this is a Steam issue (I'm using the Steam client beta btw) or related to the shutdown somehow...
