Apaco Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Sorry if this has been posted before. For some reason I can't take screenshots form FM13. Have never had this problem on earlier versions and can of course see that many people in here posts lots of screenshots. What's happening is: When I'm in game and click "print screen" or F12 the "picture" taken is not from the FM13 screen but from my Windows screen....and I just don't understand why?? If anyone has got a soloution I would be happy to hear it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyJoe Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Because that is what "print Screen" does. I believe there is a function key option to print the game screen? I am not entirely sure as I use a Mac, and the keys are different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the strange thing is that in earlier versions of FM it has worked perfectly to use print screen and I have usually just pasted it into paint, so this is the first version where it does not work for me to use it in FM. I have also tried alt F9 after seing that proposed in another thread but that won't work either. Really frustrating, but as you say I guess there must be a setting somewhere that needs to be turned on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Normal PC's/laptops, to take a screenshot press Alt+F9. That will save a screenshot in My Documents/Sports Interactive/FM13/Screenshots. From there you can crop and edit them in paint. To upload them, go onto something like imageshack or photobucket. Upload it, and if you want to post the picture itself you need to use the code which has something like 'IMG Code' next to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I push Alt+F9 sometimes nothing happens and no new files are found on my machine....but some times I hear a "pling" and I get up an error-message that says "Fm2013 is already running" and then it gets straight to a steam error. No new files found on my machine after this pling either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northernpilgrim Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'm now having the same issue as I have a new laptop. The Alt F9 method doesn't work, as on my laptop that closes programs. Print screen doesn't work, and using the windows key and print screen button produces an image of either my desktop, or a Google Chrome internet window if I have one open behind FM13. My laptop is a Lenovo G505s running Windows 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
