Screenshots not saving at all!

[Aiya]

I like taking pictures in game especially in skyrim.
Until recently my screenshots would appear somewhere on my computer and in the little pop up window for me to upload. Now I'm not getting the little window and my newest screenshots are no where to be found.
I haven't changed any file locations or names. The most I have done is make shortcuts to the screenshot folders and placed them in my pictures so I can find them easier.
It looks like most of my old screenshots are still there from what I can tell. I have a lot saved across the games I play. The new ones won't show. It all acts the same in game press f12 and a little box pops up in the corner telling me it took the picture. They just aren't there.
I have everything steam related downloaded on my D drive instead of C since my D drive has more space.
I already asked support and they "had no fix for me"... Please help me fix this.

Make sure the setting is checked first, Steam > Settings > Cloud >>> 2nd box. It was reset to unchecked in the Feb 12th update.

When you exit the game where you took screenshots, it should now automatically open the uploader. You can click "View on disk" to navigate to the screenshot folder.

Other ways to find them regardless...

1. View > Screenshots

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

3. In each library page, below the achievement section on the right side, down a bit.

I checked the second box again. I didn't notice it was unchecked until now. I opened up skyrim and took a test shot, exited and nothing. No pop up and no screenshot anywhere. Not on steam or on my computer.

You must enable the Steam overlay while in-game as well.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

Yeah... I think that was also disabled for some at some point as well.

Enable Steam Overlay while in-game is checked still. It still works like it's supposed too.

Try changing the screenshot shortcut keys.

[Aiya]

Didn't work. I got the little blue pop up in game, but nothing when I exited and no picture at all.

Test another game title. So you can figure out if it has anything to do with Skyrim or not.

Here, screenshots don't get saved in the screenshot folder, but instead they are saved in folders specific to each game title. Which can sometimes be difficult to find, unless I access them through the Steam library interface.

This is what I must also do to access those folders, because they aren't saved in the designated screenshot folder, but instead they use their own folders, specific to each title.

amazing

I just went through and did test shots on all my other games.They all worked correctly. In-game pop up, Pop up when I exited, showed on disk and on steam. So it's just Skyrim Legendary doing it. Ideas on how to fix it? I checked my shortcut and the folder is still there with older shots in it.

[AustrAlien2010]

No. But at least you have some idea on where to look now.

FYI, I just ran a quick test by using an unmodified installation of that game title, and it should still be possible to make screenshots. Maybe something made changes to that title's installation locally on your computer? That could (potentially) cause it to malfunction.

I tried out skyrim special edition not to long ago. I didn't keep it since my computer can run it, but not that well. Could it have messed with it?

[AustrAlien2010]

No. Probably not, because that should not have any effect on another title's installation. (even though they are similar titles, these titles are seperate from each other in their installation.)

Verifying integrity of game files would make for the next logical step to fix it. Afterwards, do a system restart as well.

I did find this disussion thread:

Apparently, there are some modifications that disable the screenshot functionality. That could be causing it as well.

But it would be difficult to find support for non-workshop mods on Steam.
