So uhm. I've been playing Assassin's Creed IV, and I'm trying to take screenshots... but I haven't been able to. If I press PrintScreen the game freezes for a fraction of a second, but if I alt-tab to another program and paste, I see that what's been captured is a screenshot of the computer behind the game. That is, Firefox, Skype, etc. I looked around in Documents, in Images, in the installation folder, even in AppData... Nothing.

So is there a screenshot destination folder that I've missed? Is there some ultra-secret keystroke for taking a screenshot?

If the game itself doesn't allow it, is there a way to make the game windowed? Then I bet Windows' normal screenshot feature wouldn't return what's behind the full-screen game.

    Related gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/19203/… Personally, I just go with the Steam option - Add your non-Steam games to Steam and launch them using the Steam shortcut to get the overlay and from there, you use your Steam screenshot shortcut and voilà.

This game for me launches in UPlay through Steam, both of these take screenshots with F12.

So using this key when in-game will give you a notification of a screenshot in both Uplay and Steam.

You Steam screenshots will be found in your Steam client in the menu View > Screenshots

UPlay saves screenshots into Users/<Username>/My Pictures/UPlay

  • Thanks for the tip. I hope there's a, say, more native way, but that there's some way is good.
