thanks for all that, I can view tgas now but I still can't find where the tgas have been saved.

I've looked at C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\tgas
and it's empty, I'm pressing the PrintScree/SysRq and the screen pauses for a split second when i do, so I know something is happening, i just cannot find where they've been saved

I have just searched for tgas in my RTW folder, and i have looked through all of them (it took alot of time ) but I can't find the screenshots I took

its not prnt screen key..
In STW you pressed F2

[Merlin271]

Sorry I should have been clearer, I'm talking about RTW, where I think the key is Print Screen/SysRq

[Shambles]

check your manual Im shure its not PRT screen.

Cos prt screen Dumps data to your clip board,
Then you need to go and PASTE it in to your paint program,

HOWEVER, you cant Dump Direct X data In this manner,
So really It cant Possibly be that key,

Try f2 then go look in your TGA folder Like you have been.
if nothing Try other F# keys.

f1 f3 f4 and so on,
After pressing 1 go check your TGA folder,
But Im posative it cant be the prt screen button, becous thats not how that button works at all

I may be coxed in to going to check for you,
But i warn you Lol I disslike the game

[Craterus]

i can't find my screenies either..
i pressed Print Screen, so i'll try F2 and that now, ok thanks!

this is from the Readme file in the Help folder :

Screen Grab Function
Screenshots can be taken in game by using the Grab Screenshot key. This key is default bound to SysRq (the Print Screen key on some keyboards). Screenshots are taken in .TGA format and can be found in the ....\Rome ? Total War\tgas\ folder.

Problem is it's just not there, the folder is empty
