This is how my screenshots come out

[JRock]

You know this win screen after a battle, where the F2 key no longer works (F2 only takes TGAs during battle), and you use PrintScreen key to put the screen in your clipboard and then paste it into a paint program?

Well this is how mine come out and it's annoying:

None of the text comes out. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif

the INS key on your numpad switches between including text and not including it - I THINK, it may only work for the F2 ones taken during battle (i accidentally knocked it one time, which is how i know this)

Keypad_Insert does affect the in-game TGA screenshots but I haven't noticed it having any effect on the print screen screenshots which are technically supposed to capture everything in the visable layer. I think it might be a DirectX issue somehow. Not sure.

Any advice from CA on this? Can anyone else take screenshots with the text showing up?

The PrintScreen key is handled by Windows rather than us and could be grabbing the screen from anywhere and at any time; I don't know exactly. I expect the only adequate solution will be to add F2 support to the frontend, which I suppose could be useful.

Cool, that would be appreciated! Thanks.
