how to you take a screenshot on doom 4 where do they save????

[ChronicBill]

I really want to figure out how to take a screenshot on doom 2016 and have it work, when I printscreen and open it on paint its all black please help....

You take a screenshot like with all other Steam games:

Press F12 on your Keyboard. When you exit the game, Steam will show you the screenshots from your game session and you will also be able to open them directly on your HDD.

thanks I appreciate it I've never taken screens on any steam games before thought it was always printscreen.

[Snowden_in_Russia...]

the f12 key is right but in fact there are two places where the images are saved...
if you read the doom console [ using ~ ] it is said that image is saved in :
C:\Users\xxxxx\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM\base\screenshots
but at end of session steam tool is showing a window to decide about images ....and files are saved in :
c:\Steam\userdata\22265126\760\remote\379720\screenshots

one thing is very weird about that : the image saved by doom.exe in C:\Users\xxxxx\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM\base\screenshots are 100% black....
strange , is not it ?

I think its Vulkan. The Steam screenshot function doens't work with the API. I get the same problem when trying to capture video with Razer Cortex. I don't use Fraps because it kills the frame rate too much.

Printscreen does actually work in opengl and vulkan with borderless. But as far as I can see, borderless doesn't always work properly. You have to switch from fullscreen to window to borderless to activate real borderless

That is ridiculous. And it doesn't help capturing video. I have tried OBS and it only records the sound. Not video. The video is black. I know it doesn't suppot Vulkan yet. They are working on DX12 support at the moment. Is there any capture software that can record with Vulkan as the API?

Shadowplay, or whatever they call it now, definitely works. You have to enable desktop capture. You also have to alt tab to desktop, then start recording, then alt tab back to game (it still work with real fullscreen, not neccessary to use borderless, but it's not an issue).

If it's AMD, then I don't know...

For AMD Mirillis Action works really good with Vulkan, in my experience. Not sure about Relive yet but its like shadowplay for AMD.

I've tried Shadowplay. When I pressed the hotkey I had assigned it didn't do anything so I gave up on that. Will try again maybe I missed something when setting it up.
