Hi everyone ! I'm new to this great train simulation games, and i take the opportunity to keep the free copy from Epic Games recently. I read several threat and discussion out there for the screenshot directory when presing Ctrl+F12, it's on My Document/My Games/etc. But after i quit the game and checked the screenshot folder, it's empty. Does somone here also playing the Epic Games' version and face this problem as well? Thanks
I use the windows key and print screen key and that works if that helps. Enjoy, there's some beautiful shots to be had. This is clinchfield railroad on a night run In all seriousness there's some amazing pics in this game. This thread you might find interesting too https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/those-small-details.30968/ Enjoy
There are three kinds of screenshots available to you in TSW2. ctrl-12 which is done by Unreal and saves on your drive - from 4.26 Epic version C:\Users\<your windows username>\Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld2EGS\Saved\Screenshots\WindowsNoEditor - from 4.23 Steam version C:\Users\<your windows username>\Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld2\Saved\Screenshots\WindowsNoEditor f12 which is done by Steam Overlay assuming its turned on and saves into ridiculous places like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\34681058\760\remote\1282590\screenshots ctrl-f10 which upload to Dovetail Live https://live.dovetailgames.com/live/train-sim-world/profile/ login with your DoveTail Live login and you'll see them.

You find them in this folder: ...\Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld2EGS\Saved\Screenshots\WindowsNoEditor It just works like steam, but just a different folder name. This all is documented in the TSW2 Starters Guide, which has a separate chapter of screenshots. Get your copy here: https://www.hollandhiking.nl/trainsimulator, look for the TSW tab
I have already checked these folders and unfortunately the screenshot folder was empty. What could i do next? Should i reinstall the whole game?
Make some screenshots? Make sure to use Ctrl+F12. I do not see a reason why reinstalling the game would help. Do you see the other folders in this tree?, e.g. config, you profile, does the game save store saved games?
You can also use Windows+PrintScreen. This does capture the whole screen, so works best if running in fullscreen rather than windowed mode, and you have to turn off the HUD elements manually; but the pics are easy to find (My Pictures/Screenshots) PS: have you logged into Dovetail Live in your browser (link at the top of this page) and looked under the My Profile tab?
For now i'm using Fraps to capture gameplay screenshot. I've tried everything, verifying the game from Epic Launcher and even reset my savegame and make new one. I've click Ctrl+F12 and still no images saved at TSW2 Save Directory.
That's a great shot of Ursa Major, or is that Pegasus? I need better night goggles. Hey, there's an idea.
Do you have the new(ish) Microsoft Defender Ransomware Protection turned on? If you do, then the folders that are made at install time work fine, the ones that are made at runtime will get rejected - you need to individually authorise them - you can read more about it at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/controlled-folders Oh and I would not re-install the game, it isn't too likely to make a difference. Do you have anything else running (such as Razer Synapse) that might have set its own hotkey on ctrl-f12? Paul
Thanks ! I've checked everything you mention above, add TSW2 executable & savegame directory manually to my antivirus exception and now it works! Now i can take my screenshot at 4K, since i'm only play at 1080p.
