GPL PBF Screenshots Dont Work with Nvidia Cards?

This might have been answered a 100 times already or is covered in some manual (that I don't have access to here), if so apologies. Pressing [print screen] during a replay produces a GPLssXX.pbf file of 0kb on my Geforce at home (and my TNT Vanta at work). It is fine on my Voodoo based systems. Is there a ini file tweak or something I am missing? TIA Andy

Those renderers are betas....what else you expect from them? :) You can take screenshots by pressing prnt scrn and then pasting the image to paint or paint shop pro or whatever....or you could use a commercial software called Hypersnap. -- Mika Takala

Cheers, Hypersnap is only going to give me one at a time though which is not much use for writing race reports which have say 130 captures... unless I want to get RSI in a real hurry! Mika Takala wrote:

If you press F11, hypersnap will repeat capture, or so the help file says :) -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> Andy Straw <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Cheers, Hypersnap is only going to give me one at a time though which is > not much use for writing race reports which have say 130 captures... > unless I want to get RSI in a real hurry! >

You need to set Capture->Special Capture to be able to screencap from D3D. You then need to set capture->Auto Save to make Hypersnap automatically save each screenshot you take. It stores them as sequentially numbered .bmp files but there are numerous graphics apps that let you do bulk conversions to .jpg.
