    1 - You don't need to screenshot it.Paste the text here.
    2 - If it's an EA title.It's going to have a log-file somewhere hidden.Search for it.
    (Search for *.txt or *.log or *log* you might find something)

    You are supposed to find that file by searching/browsing the folder that your game is installed in [on your hard-drive]
