Hello SAS members , when I take screenshots I have in myscreenshot folder only a 0 bite file, obviously not readable, with and without mod...
I have win 10, integrated intel video card, il-2 4.13.2 and sas modact 6.1 with some mods, like vp modpach.
I tried to modify ram on sas selector, in that case I had ctd...
anyone have similar problem?
thank you in advance, bye!
Francesco

EDIT: thanks to Storebror!
if you have problem with screenshots, try to change compatibility setting on il2fb.exe (for me -win 10- compatibily with xp sp3)

Never seen such a problem before.
Leave the RAM memory at normal on the SAS-seletor.

Use the default screenshot key in IL2 it works good.
Its the "Print Screen" button.
Saves the file as *.tga in you game root directory.

Under setup misc setting in the gui you can set the screenshots to jpg or tga.
A new folder is created called screenshots in the root directory.

The VP-Modpack is already set up to take screenshots like any other game-version,
it also uses inside the #SAS section a folder named... "TGA screenshot" if you wish to see screens in TGA, if
you want them in Jpeg just place a "-" (minus sign) in front of the name folder
so the game will not read that file.

Have you been making changes to the conf.ini file lately and did something?
I can always post here my Conf.ini file listing for you.

Did you place your IL2-1946 game in the "Program Files" or "Program Files(x86)' ?
Don´t do that.
Place the game outside of that area, so you are able to make it work properly.

In your Conf.ini file you should see the following word...
ScreenshotType=1

This is what it does...
ScreenshotType=0 (0 = screenshots are saved as TGA, 1 = screenshots are saved as JPG, 2 = screenshots are saved as TGA and JPG)

Something error lines may be recorded in your error log file ?

In example, cannot write screenshotXXX.tga in il2/MyScreenshot , disk full , etc.

Thank you for answering,
yes, I installed IL-2 on program files(x86) folder and yes, I forgot to read on hs_err_pid file:

Code: [Select]

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION occurred at PC=0x654484e6
Function name=Java_com_maddox_il2_fm_FMMath_nInitSeed
Library=C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\DT.dll

Current Java thread:
at com.maddox.opengl.util.ScrShot.getScreenShot(Native Method)
at com.maddox.opengl.util.ScrShot.grab(ScrShot.java:13)[\code]I use directX (with OpenGL I have "flickering"), maybe is this the problem?
oh, and stangely in conf.ini I haven't nothing like ScreenshotType= (but I select jpg on miscellaneous setup): I tried to add, with no result

VP modpack is for IL-2 4.12.2, not 4.13.2.
Modded games should not be installed to a "Program Files" subdirectory.

Best regards - Mike

Copy-paste the entire il-2 folder in another location is not enought, right?
I tried it, but same results, with and without mods (0 bite unreadable files)... I'm a n00b, or today is a too hot afternoon to play sturmovick?
screenshots are not really necessary, but nice: there are other programs can I use? fraps?
thank you and bye

Did you try running your il2fb.exe in compatibility mode?
I think I remember that this solved issues for other Win10 users.
Create a link to the il2fb.exe and activate the Compatibility Mode on that link, selecting either XP, Vista or 7 as emulated layer.

Win 10; IL-2 without problems. May be combination of integrated GPU and Win 10 - since I am using standalone GPU by now. I will try switching back to integrated and see if that is issue.
Problem may be even somewhere else.

For screenshots, technically, you can use OBS - it's free and can do more things than Fraps... but you'd be running one more program in the background - and it can be tricky to set properly (I can help with it). (Remember, by default, OBS is for streaming purposes, but should be able to do screenshots as well.)

I use fraps for every game.

[SAS~Storebror]

ReShade can be used too, it has an own screenshot feature builtin generating lossless well compressed png images (if you wish).

Best regards - Mike

Thanks for answering, I will try theese programs, but still hope to solve the main strange problem
