Chooomp

Up. Problem is still not solved.

I found that I can use the WIN+PRNT SCREEN hotkey and the screen is saved in the C:\Users\asus\Pictures\Screenshots folder
But the quality is terrible even in .png (far from the F12 ingame key, and even further from the CTRL+F12)

Anyone coming up with an idea or suggestion is welcome

I tried the file system permissions, still didnt worked.
What I have done :

• I took ownership of the C:\Users\asus\Pictures\Vintagestory file. It seemed I already had all permissions, but I did it anyway :).
  I followed this tutorial :
  https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/take-ownership-folder-windows-10-using-file-explorer
• then I rebooted the laptop, tried to take a screenshot in VS, didnt work.
• I also tried one more time launching the app with administrator rights, didnt work.
• Then I checked another way to manage those file system permissions and I found on Tenforum.com a tutorial which I also followed, and all access are already granted.
  Here is a screenshot of where I checked (the File system down below) (I'm using those screens because my OS is not in english)

Maby I have done something wrong here, I don't know. All permissions seemed to be on, I followed the tutorials.

Let me know if there is another way to check wether it's a file system permissions matter or not. I'm not sure I covered everything, so I'm not sure we can exclude this as beeing the issue at the moment.

I just deleted everything, reinstalled the game with downloading from the new version (1.19 stable is just released \o/), installed it
I wanted to try a screenshot before putting my saves back in the folder so I create a world, enter it and press F12, got the same error. CTRL + F12, again same error in the log.
It didnt work
I don't know what to do next.
 

So it's about my own laptop soft or something. I don't know where to start to fix the error i'm getting with System.Drawing.Image.Save

I'm not sure you can help me now, but hey, thanks Papa Cheese ! it's really kind of you anyway

There are few things here, I would save everything but I might have heard that, when reinstalling, the less we keep the better it is

I have a mod installed, but I'd also like to keep my
-graphics settings
-saved servers and IP linked with it

Here is my folder content (in appdata)

I guess I have to keep

• ModConfig
• ModData
• Mods
• Playerdata
• Saves

Is that it ?

Do I need those clientsettings.bkb / .json   and serverconfig.json / servermagicnumbers.json   ?

Again, thank you for replying, much appreciated !

By "saves folder", do you mean :
C:\Users\asus\AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData

=> the whole file ? Or just part of ?
=> Is there something else ?

Thanks a lot for replying

I'm having the same issue since I started playing, i'm unable to take a screenshot.

I tried to start the game in admin mode.
I also checked if the file where the screenshots are supposed to land was created (C:\Users\asus\Pictures) as specified here :
https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions_(FAQ)
I have to mention that my Print Screen key works, but it's not very practical for 2 reasons :

• It shows the HUD
• I have to name it manually each time

Here is the error log (in french)  I dont know any code, so I asked a friend. I've been told it's the System.Drawing.Image.Save which is failing

I tried to google System.Drawing.Image.Save but it seems to be a code issue, which I can't fix

Thanks in advance for having a look, I love this game since I started to play it, and I'd love to share screenshots with my friends
