Far Cry 3 Screenshot issue

Anybody else have an issue with print screening in this? the images I've print screened appear like this in the Far Cry screenshot folder:



I don't have this issue with fraps.

Running on an Alienware M17xR4 with Nvidia GTX675m

 

what are you using to capture it, paint. if so try gadwin as its sooooo much better Screen Capture and Print Screen software

 

I was just hitting 'print screen' in-game and the shots were being saved in the screenshot folder, assumed I wouldn't have any issues?

I'll try Gadwin so, cheers.

 

If you have Steam, you can use F12.

In my case I have the U-play version, so I added it as non-Steam game to my library and I can still use F12 to take Steam screenshots.

 

Can you add it to steam from Uplay? how does that work?

 

In your Steam client click on Games -> Add a Non-Steam game to my library -> Browse and select the .exe (use the DX11 .exe if you want to use DX11). Then you can launch the game inside your steam client.

It will still launch the Ubisoft client and you have to click on the game again in the Uplay window, but it will be running with the Steam overlay. You can do the same for Origin games, so they will have the Steam overlay and you can post screenshots for Origin games to your Steam profile.

 

I can't find the far cry.exe anywhere. (A search for Far Cry.exe just bring me up the far cry folder with uplay data) It's worth nothing I bought Far Cry 3 on disc, would that make a difference?

 

Whoa, I've never seen that before, ha.

 

Well, resetting the Nvidia control settings seems to have fixed the issue.

 

If you have the Uplay version it is

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\FarCry 3\bin\farcry3_d3d11.exe (DX11 version)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\FarCry 3\bin\farcry3.exe (DX9 version)
