Help: Super Robot Wars 30 has stopped responding to screenshot key :F12
Yeah: Games running normally, but I can no longer take screenshots for it.

What's weird for me is that it only does so with specific games.
Was recording all the different attacks in Super Robot Wars 30 by screenshot slideshow, suddenly couldn't take screenshots. Opened up another game entirely after giving up on all the methods in this thread: Screenshot F12 key still takes screenshots in those games.
I did notice something though EVERY time a screenshot was accepted:
It would cause a 0.002 second stutter for every time it took a screenshot in any other game.

Super robot wars 30? - Screenshot taking broken
Fallout 4? - F12 functions normally.

And I know its not an MB limitation cause fallout 4 I have like 600+ mods and plugins for and the screenshot folder probably reaches the thousands.

Super Robot Wars 30 though I just got into playing, and already it is facing severe issues with screenshot taking compatibility.

Does the Steam overlay work in the game?

Yup, it's how I'm replying right now.

Super Robot Wars 30 has the screenshot ability blocked by the game itself after the first 4 prologue missions or so.
Something to do with copyright of the included anime shows.
Has been that way since the game released. Its the same for the PS4 and Switch versions, you cant take ingame screenshots after the first few missions.

It's the same restrictions as the console versions - no screenshots after stage 4 and the ones you can take have an overlay forced onto it that takes up like a quarter of the screenshot.

Someone should mod it so it still respects the copyright but still enables it during gameplay and relevant cutscenes (Such as Red 5's takeoff), along with getting rid of that seal and just crediting the team that worked on the current game. A compromise for everyone, even the game company.

I mean on PC this is trivial. There are tons of capture programs that still can take screenshots and videos of the game. Its just the Steam Overlay they have any control over.
