How to take a screenshot?(resolved)
How does one go about taking a screenshot while playing BF2. I keep getting killed when I leave the keyboard to pick up my digital camera.

Fraps is very good and I use it sometimes as well. But I gotta say, hitting your print screen button like Dag mentioned above produces a very decent screenshot.
I always take a couple in case you mess up the first one or need another editable copy.
There are console commands that will shut off your ingame dashboard and mini-map so you can get the whole scene in the shot. Much better results that way. There is a list of the ingame tilde button options somewhere in your BF2 help or admin files. They also feature the list over at Total BF2, it's under one of the folder tabs arrayed to your left when on their homepage.

I would recommend Fraps over pressing Print Screen. My only experience with the old print screen button was the other day and I had my whole battlefield 2 lock up for 10 seconds after pressing it and it then continued to be 'jerky' for a good 10 seconds extra afterwards.

It must be fixed because using printscreen does place your screenshot into your BF2 folder in My Documents. I must have missed that broken process altogether.Ash2Dust wrote:Havent tried lately, but BF2 used to at one point put the screenshot in your My Documents folder in the BF2 folder. EA broke that and we had to use the printscreen to acquire, tab out, then paste it into MS Paint to save it. Might be fixed tho.
