UT2004 & Widescreen screenshot problem.

frisp · 14 May 2006 at 17:35

Guys, looking for a little advice. Recently got a Samsung 940MW widscreen monitor. Native res is 1440x900. Set the game up editing the ini to get the native res set. Great, plays and looks fantastic. BUT, if I take an in game screenshot, it looks all corrupted.

Any ideas on the cause, or even better, a fix.

Regards

So you are using the game's own screenshot function, ie. F9? Just checking.

Yup. Screenshot only "grabs" immediate area around the character, misses all scoreboard details, appears very lo-res with colour banding through it.

I'll try to get a screeny later. Stuck at work just now.

If I use Print Screen the image is fine. Just too cumbersome during cup/league games.

Hmm weird. If you don't get any joy here then someone on the Atari forums will probably know the solution

Already posted there, not a dickybird back yet

May post over @ widescreengaming forums.

did you set the FOV larger aswell ? 105 seems to be a bout right my res of 1280x768

I dont know how it would help but its something you should do regardless to get a benefit from having a wider angle view.

Set it to 100.

Sorted. Searched high & low, no joy. Reinstalled, no joy. Was readsing a list of console commands, found the setres command. (Editing the ini for 1440x900 didn't work) so used setres 1440x900x32. Presto, screenshots working.
