This drives me nuts.........

Recommended Posts

Zero byte screenshots............makes no difference what format I use and no set pattern to it happening. Really frustrating  :censored::censored: 

Anybody else suffer from this issue?

yes, it is happening to me sometime, but not in all mods.I have one screenshot folder - where all mods are pooping screenshots, It hapend sometimes but mostly from ODS30AE are "damaged", never in my Vietnam mod neither European theater mod, 

Number of screenshots has nothing to do (in my opinion) as I often clear that folder and I suffer that issue with empty folder too. It might be something with general memory but (ODS30AE in my version is quite huge and heavy) but I fail to see why memory would be an issue..

I thought it was happening only to me and my overloaded mods, As I can not help you, one things cheers me up - I am not alone.

Same here. No rhyme, no reason, no specific mods. Sometimes 1 or 2, sometimes an entire days worth. I thought maybe it was my graphics settings, but they still crop up from time to time even after I have lowered them. And I thought it was just me as well.

Yeah... I have encountered this quite a few times.

It can be traced back to the first time I played SF2NA around 2013, till now,I think it has something to do with graphics driver.Bcuz heavy modded game did make so, but it also happens in the vanilla game.

Anyway,the latest experience is to set the global setting in the NVIDIA panel to "let 3D applications decide",work for me 100%.And I did object testing, when I changed to other options, the "blank screenshot" would reappear.

had this a a very heavy modded install, or resource eating terrains / mods.

It took very long between hitting the print key and the "klick" sound from screenshot.

I guess it is, cause the game is operating ner it´s limits.

In not heavy modded installs, it works without problems..

Yup, probably memory limits, SF2 is a 32 bit program, it can address/use at most 4GB of memory, heavily modded installs can end up running very, very close to that limit. My guess is that in these situations you're out of free memory to process and temporarily store the image before writing to file, but the file is created, has nothing to write into and is cleanly closed in case of error, leaving an empty file.

Well after reading these posts on this topic, it could happen to me, but then again I don't take a gazillion screenshots either, so if I did it could very well happen to me too.

im noticing that alot of the shots seem rapid fire, like youre either using some rapid fire app to snap a dozen pics at once or tapping prtscn multipe times at once

i wonder if it could be related (no ive never had this issue, even in the heavier installs)

Thanks for all the replies, it's good to know it's not just me.

Like I said earlier I've tried just about every combination I can think of....waiting to hear the screenshot sound, taking it slowly single shot, gunning my screenshot button, on the ground, in the air, over the sea, clouds or no clouds, high or low cpu/gpu and ram usage etc, etc....no joy.

I guess it's just one of those issues we'll have to put up with.
