I´ve the same problem. They should appear in the Data/ Tgas folder but it´s empty. I´ve tried F2 and Print screen but nothing seems to work. Would be great if someone had an answer.

I'm not sure why the TGA folder is always said to contain the screenshots. I have never seen any there. The controls in the Options, shows the button to be PrtScn, but when you press that you have to manually Alt + Tab out of the game. Then, go to something like Paint and paste the screenshot in there, then save it.

If you change the screenshot button to any other button(e.g. F12) you can take an unlimited amount of screenshots without leaving the game. They will all be stored in the TGA folder automatically.
Odd why CA choose the Print Screen button as default and made things so much more complicated.

Turning of Anti aliasing should help.

Now, I have a question: Does turning of Anti aliasing reduce the graphics?

AA makes everything look smoother and less pointy... er I forget the correct terminology. It's best to have it on if your PC can handle it.

To be honest, I think anyone serious about grabbing screenshots should just download FRAPS at www.fraps.com . You can take as many screenshots as you like, and movies, for just about any game you have, as well as benchmarking. Terrific stuff.
