F12 Screen Shot No Worky Anymore!

[Nebula]

After todays patch I can no longer use the F12 button to take screen shots, it use to work but no longer does so I have restarted Steam many times, checked the settings they are all fine and launched 3 different games and the F12 screen shot works with them.

Is this a glitch created from todays patch? Was this feature removed so people can only take pictures with the ingame camera?

You sure that the steam overlay for this game is enabled?
The screen shoots are soly handeled by steam, the game has 0% influence on that.
If the overlay is enabled then programs like e.g. autohotkey might redirect the hotkey to do something else.

Because I have no trouble taking screenshoots. These are the two I just did.

Yah i remember a while back my screen shot stopped working in Rising World for a while and then it worked again. It might be a Steam thing and not the game. Was just fishing here to see if anyone else had issues with the screen shots. Some times you can get answers and resolve issues with others input.

I firmly believe that is a steam issue ... because I can take screenshots on any game / executable I have even if I added them manually to steam like e.g. Minecraft or even applications like VLC (see screenshot below) as long as they access openGL or directX.
Although upon writing this I realized it also can be in your case a driver issue.
Try updating them all ... maybe it helps ... maybe it makes matters worse (e.g. not all nVidia drivers are as reliable as they should)

I just got back on, I had installed Win 10 over my Win 8.1 Pro. 8.1 Pro worked great and after i upgraded to Win 10 my machine was just trash, no matter what i did it just didn't work properly.

So it might of been my machine. So it is running so much better now due t the fact i just did a clean install, did all Win 10 updates, updated all drivers and then i installed all my apps. Now I am just trying to link my games to steam which are on a different hard drive, not having luck even though i picked the drive where they are they still won't appear in my Library, afraid I will have to redown load all of them and that is painfull.

You should be able to choose that drive and directory ... the information of which drives games are installed are store in the steam installation folder, the information about what games are where is in that drive. I have most of my libary on an external hard drive (and move what I want to play on my SSD) and when that is not plugged in (when starting up steam) those games are listed as not installled, but when it is plugged in all games are there.
try restarting steam after adding the drive ....
Unless steam did delete the appmanifest_[somenumber].acf files

Yes my friend, thank you. It didn't show it was in the folder until i was in library and clicked download oneach game that was already downloaded. It just ran a check on the files which took less then a minute and then it appeard in the lbrary.

This discussion helped me fix screen shots a few months ago AND apparently allowed me to search inventory that I could never do. Currently, and with a new controller (same as old one), I cannot search inventories in the game as before. Does the steam overlay control searches or is it something else? Thank you.
