Hello,
I play a DirectX 9 game called Delta Force:Xtreme. On occasion, when taking a screenshot, the heads-up display and most of the objects within the map are missing from the saved image. I was wondering if anyone has seen this happen before?
I've attached two images; one showing a normal screenshot, and one showing the problem. Both were taken within a few seconds of each other while I was trying to reproduce the problem.
I was using version 2.25.03 (I think) and have just upgraded to the latest version. I'll try to duplicate the problem again and post the results.
Regards,
Rich

Update:
It still happens with the newer version. Hopefully this is something that can be resolved in a future release.

The built-in screenshot feature in DF:X can be extremely slow, even causing the game to freeze for a few seconds. In any other application that might be Ok, but in a first person shooter that means you're dead. Screenshot Captor worked great for the first couple of weeks before this started to happen at random times. I can certainly deal with the problem as I've already grown accustomed to taking multiple screenshots each time, but it would be nice to figure out why it happens.
I've also used both Fraps and GameCam. Fraps causes significant screen lag making the game almost unplayable, while GameCam interferes with the extended button mappings on my mouse while in game.

earlier when it was working, how did you make the capture, via auto-capture timer or hot-keys?

I've always used hot-keys.

Have you updated video drivers recently?

They have been updated, but I don't remember which was done first; the driver update or my initial install of Screenshot Captor.

It's just that a new video driver might handle displaying objects differently and sometimes it means you can't grab objects.

This looks like an issue of capturing video overlay. I ran into this problem when attempting to capture a screen with a video playing. This could be related. Mouser, how does SSC handle overlay?

i haven't tried it myself but i read somewhere that turning off the "Hardware Acceleration" will enable screenshots from movies & games but don't know what it does to performance though..  |
