A little info on screenshots.
 

For you guys, who love taking SS, like me, just remember they do take up a lot of space. I had 25% left on my Raptor HDD and removed over 4000 pics(FH and RO) and gaind 25% ,I was getting some serious lag ingame.

Just go into the SS folder and and remove all of them(Or only old ones). I guess most of you already know this or don't have,"Must-press-F9-and-Printscreen-because-I-dont-know-which-one-does-it" syndrom. Once again I am just warning people who like to take screenshots(Even though most of you know this).

4000 screenies? You don't happen to have one of those screenshot-movie thingies installed ? :)

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

I tried that once, but I noticed an increase in lag and I basically left my old HDD in the wilderness of my desk to fend for itself.

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

Heh, too true. I was reading about a guy who had over 14,000 screen shots of a Half Life 2 mod called Empires.

/me goes to clean out his screenies

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

Havent taken any screenshots on this laptop, but that other piece of junk in my room has about 500Mb dedicated to HL2/RO/FH screenies alone.

How do you find time to play while taking all those screenshots? :D heh

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

I got the screenshot button on the same mousekey as my primary fire, so i collect pics of every kill i make...










just kidding...

That would be sick! Yet at the same time a surefire way to generate some laggy stuttering.

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

I use a tool called "Grap clip save" for my screenshots, and i have no fps drop at all while taking a screenshot.

So, it would work...

Not a bad idea.. i'm gonna try that once and see what the results are. :P

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

Lol,I guess it's OCD,but I did notice lag in RO now it's gone!

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

Heheh, so you got about 20 screenshots eh Josey?

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

:lol::lol:

I have to admit I like to try and keep my Raptor 'clean' so I don't take many screenshots, the last screenshot I took was a few weeks back When I got 130-130-3 on BOTB using a Panzer 4 and I've now added it too my ego folder :cool:

Videos on the other hand are much more fun too take.

Let me guess, you were parked sideways watching the last allied spawnpoint?

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

I had 47 GB's of screenshots on my old computer (before I shot it up) going all the way back to bf1942 1.2, early dc, parallel world etc all the way up to FH 0.67.

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

Yeah, close to that.
Too bad that most of em show teamkills...

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

And we all know who you TK. :/

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

hehe I do that on Arnhem :)

Nah, the Allied team wasn't particularly good and basically I just drove around like a sneaky bugger doing hit and runs on flags. I got alot of Zookas hitting my Side Skirts which in total would have killed me like 20 times.

Re: A little info on screenshots.
 

I hardly ever take screenshots, when I do I be sure to sort them out ASAP. Ditch the bad ones and upload the good ones somewhere. Never had any problems with tons of screenies taking up HD space. :)
