Hello everyone

I am maybe missing something simple. But how are people taking screen shots of EHM:EA?
In most Steam games the F12 key will take a quick and easy screen and store it for you. But in EHM it instead brings up the help tooltips.
Does F12 not work in game? Is everyone else using the print screen key for screen shots?

Thanks

Or if you play in Windowed mode Alt + PrntScrn will only capture just the window and not the entire desktop.

Thank you, now that this is on Steam, I hope they add in the F12 function that makes taking a screen and putting it into a folder a one step solution. Saves having to paste it into paint and then save it.

That's very helpful :thup: I've been going from windowed mode to fullscreen just to take screenshots :-D

Me too! Currently if you press the F12 key it causes an infinite loop with a Network Password screen (which I reported previously on the SI Bugs Forum - hopefully it'll be picked up some day).

You can change the key used to take screenshots in the Steam settings menu if needed
