Cantousent Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I turned down all the setting to take a screenshot in the first place and I have a 103 ft light potion going also. It tends to seriously wash out the colors, but I can see things way off in the distance.

Cantousent Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 As far as I know, you can't take a screenshot with bloom effects and anti-aliasing. I have my resolution set to 1024x760. I have bloom effects running and I use anti-aliasing x6. So, I turn off anti-aliasing and the bloom effects. The "washed out" look is due to having 103ft light effect. Trust me, it really lights up the place, but it washes everything out in a greenish tinge. I'll tell you what, if it's important for you to see a non-light spell screen, I'll use a torch and take a picture again.

Hassat Hunter Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 THAT is 1024x768 Have that resolution and medium graphics and it looks way better. Ofcourse I have no light (nor have used it yet...Khajiit night-eyes)... Yeah, the AA stuff is weird.

Cantousent Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 No, I never cheated. I have a masters in alchemy and I can, legitimately, create 103 light effect potions.

LoneWolf16 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Just use FRAPS, Eldar. Then convert the .bmp files to JPG using paint or something. You can take screenshots with all the bells and whistles that way.

Cantousent Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) Ah, hell, my screenshots will have to do. I've wasted enough time. here is the latest batch. I know it looks prettier without a light spell, but I like being able to see a good distance.

Hassat Hunter Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Seems like alot of recent games do that Painkiller and Oblivion just refuse to take screens Unreal Tournament 2004 only takes the upper left corner at 320x200 or somesuch (which is even weirder than not taking screens at all) There are probably loads more, but this where the games where I wanted to make screenshots and thus found problems... ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

Kaftan Barlast Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 It seems odd to me that Bethesda has, obviously, tried to prevent players from taking screenshots. I wonder why? Im not a graphics programmer so Im probably just babbling nonsense now but perhaps most games use the OS to commit a screenshot to memory(that can then be pasted into Photoshop etc.) and Oblivion and some others have written their own code for actually creating a finished image file of said screenshot but that it doesnt work so well?
