Camera Trouble

[AntTea]

No matter what I do none of the pictures I'm taking are being recognized as completed. I'm taking pictures of the things it's asking for but none of them are being acknowledged as having been done. I haven't been able to complete a single camera quest no matter how simple it is. Not sure what to do at this point.

Have you saved the photos that you take? It won't recognise them for a quest unless you save them. If you have, then no idea how to help.

[AntTea]

Yes. I've been saving them all. Just wish I knew if it was something I'm doing wrong or if my game's just not working right. Maybe I'll try seeing if there's any videos out there of something taking the pictures and seeing if they're doing anything different.

Could you give examples of what the task was exactly? Perhaps a screenshot so that we can see the exact wording?

Also - you're most probably already know this, but just in case:

- The procedure of taking a photo is: Put the camera (which you bought at Mr. Kit's store at some point) in your hand, then click on your character and drag the mouse. An outlined rectangle will appear, which indicates the area of the screen that gets photographed. Click the left mouse button to take the shot. You'll then see the photo itself, a list of the recognized features on it (quest-relevant objects should be shown with a red exclamation mark), and buttons to either save or delete the photo.

- The camera has a limited number of uses, IIRC you can see how many uses are left by hovering the mouse over it. If it runs out of uses, buy a new film at Mr. Kit (or Arjun), then bring the camera to Jeremy Gruffle to "repair" it.

I think if you save too many pictures, you run out of space to save any more. Maybe have to delete some to save new ones.

for some of the things you need to take a picture of, you need to read the tags on the item description

for example, one of the easiest ones I see people get confused on is when it asks you to take pictures of "plant" items

it is not asking you to take pictures of plants, there is an item series that is plant themed, and the tag in the item description will tell you that
