    I have tried to take screenshots, using the default F12 button. Files show up in the screenshots directory as GRAB001.JPG and so on, but the files are always 0kb in size.

    Just me or can anyone else reproduce this problem?

    FRAPS is a good alternative. Unfortunately I have the same 0kb problem.

    I've found that if I run in Windowed mode I get 0kb screenshots. Full Screen is fine. Possible you guys are running in windowed? Of course you should be able to take shots in windowed mode--just looking for a common issue...

    Window mode for me = 0KB screenshot, Full Screen mode = good screenshot.

    Unchecked "Windowed Mode" in Config Sim as per Scotts post above and all fixed for me.

    Cheers

    Have to correct myself here, just noticed that it WAS set in windowed mode but being in a 1920x1080 window on a 1920x1080 screen it didnt show any border :p

    Turned that off, and screenshots work now.

    So, looks like the common denominator is windowed mode.

    Same for me sg, I didn't realize it was in windowed mode. As it was set to my desktop rez I didn't see a border either. Must be default windowed as I didn't set it that way. Unchecked that and it works properly now. Thanks........now to fill up the screenshots folder :)
