I've been trying to take a screenshot of a weapon's stats, however every time I hit print screen, my UI disappears for a second, and doesn't show up in the screenshot. Is there some sort of option I can change to get this to work?

yes, go to the interphase and change it to a different key....if you use shift+print that gets rid of the interphase...

OR

try using the print screen without the shift first.....

Sorry about bumping this, but I figured I'd clarify. I'm not using shift+print screen to take screenshots. I'm just using the default print screen. However, for some reason I still lose the interface.

I had the same problem and here is what fixed it for me.

Go into options - control (where you decide which quick keys do which action) Go down to misc. Screenshot. It'll have Print Screen as the default. What I did was assign a second key (in my case the = button) that key takes screens with the interface. Personally I left Print Screen as well since in my case like yours it auto removes the interface. Hope that helps

you may have the anti aliasing on, set it to off. If its on you *can* get screenshots that look fine, but 3/4 or 1/2 will be blank or funky. You can always reset it the way it was after the screenshot for optimal performance. Its in the graphics settings option menu of GW on a pull down.
