Steam does not save my screenshots
Hey! So if I make a screenshot with f12, i am told by steam that the screenshot was taken. At the bottom right is a small picture of it like always, but when i leave the game then I will not get a message anymore if I want to upload it or not. Also in the folder under documents they are not saved. So they are basically nowhere to find.

Can anyone help?

Or the recent screenshots will be at the top if the activity on the games library page.

Or in each library page, below the achievement section on the right side, down a bit.

You have to manually upload the screenshot for it to show up in your profile screenshots and activity page

And how when they are nowhere to see? ^.^ I know that there should be a little window when i close my game where my screenshots are seen and where i can click on upload and stuff, but this window never comes for me today.

Did you read my entire post or did you skim over it.

Read it ALL again.

Sure i did. There is nothing. Like i said, even when i go to Documents/Game/Screenshots there is nothing. And on steam it still say i have 0 screenshots. This is the first time i have this problem.
I think i write direct to steam if the problem is still there tomorrow.

Thanks for your help!

If you haven't uploaded the screenshots (which you haven't) then they wont be in your documents. You can upload either via last session or by selecting the game from the drop-down list.

I see the screenshots in the library now, like you said, and I can manually upload them now. Had to restart steam a couple of times for it, but now it works. Thanks :-)

ok interesting.. i got the same problem because i chose a different folder where screenshots should be saved and now it doesnt work. also it doesnt open the screenshots after i close a game anymore. the issue began since i changed the screenshold-folder.

There is definitely a bug - my screenshots are NEVER saved to the local HD. I didn't touch the default mappings for directory where screenshots should be saved. Doesn't matter how many times I restart Steam...
Siggi Nov 1, 2020 @ 10:28pm 
its so weird there seems to be no way to fix it

Do you have the overlay toggled on for your games?

Are you looking in the correct directory for them? They're saved in /steam / userdata / yournumber / 760 / remote / game ID number folders <-- regardless of where else they may be sent.

Some individual games might also save copies elsewhere on your drive. If you find out which games you KNOW you have taken screenshots in (the overlay is on, a screenshot sound and popup has been seen) go look for the game's ID number on steam (google or just click through your userdata folders) and then do a search on your hard drive for that ID number. If a photo has been taken, it should show up in a search of your drives.

No, the numbers are there for the Steam client to use the folders properly.

What I do is just write them down on a notepaper, lol I have so many and so many screenshots it's actually worth the time to figure out each one and note it down.

Actually let me amend that: when you find the screenshots, you can always MOVE them out of that folder into a properly-named folder elsewhere on your hard drive. It'll make a new folder if you take new screenshots, but I just copy and paste or move them out every once in a while to save space if nothing else.

Hello,

I tried all these techniques. But still, I cannot find them although I'm sure that I took the screenshots. I have suspicions about the platform that I played my game(cyberpunk77). I played it with Nvidia GeForce Now. But when I took the screenshots, I heard its sound and it occurred as a little picture on the right side of the screen. Is there anything else that I can try to find them?



Edit: I tried to take ss from my own pc and geforce now. The ss that I took from my own pc is appearing in library. But from geforce now is not appearing in my library. Is there anyone can help me with that?
