How to take ScreenShots - Guild Wars Forums

Hm...is there a program in the game that lets you take screen shots....or do you just use a camera and take a shot at your computer screen??

Just use a camera and take a shot at your computer screen.

Or

You can just hit PrintScreen to take a pic of your screen including GUI. Hold control shift and printscreen for no GUI. All pictures get saved in the GuildWars Screenshots forum on your computer.

I suggest the bottom one

Press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard to take screenshots

They'll get saved to a "Screns" directory in your Guild Wars directory.. ie

if you installed GW to C:\Games\Guild Wars

then when you press "Print Screen" you will have a .bmp image file saved to :

c:\Games\Guild Wars\Screens

if you want a nice scenery or portrait image without your hud being in the way press shift+ctrl+h to clear your hud and press again to bring it back.

Yup.
Printscreen is two buttons above delete

Also, make sure its the right control and the right shift. Directional, not like right or wrong

Chris stop breaking people's minds

. You just need to press Shift + PrintScrn , and either Shift will do.

Still doesn't work?
Go to Options --> Control Setup , Scroll down til you find 'Screenshot', then make sure it's bound to a key.
