    I have taken many screenshots in the game without any problem.
    And I used to take Screenshots in the Editor by using the Windows key + PrtScn

    That now gives a completely black screen but only in TS as it work normally in other applications.

    Any suggestions please?

    I tried that as well and it opens back in Windows instead of staying in the game - might have to change some settings

    Yep Weird, I have two monitors and as you can see the editor is showing on my main and the forum on my second, just Print screen and then Ctrl+Shift+V into PaintShop Pro.

    I do t think it was always like this, but an F12 screenshot includes the HUD and overlays, the Ctrl+S one doesn’t, just the scene.

    I thought (not tried it to confirm though) that Ctrl+S was only in-game not in Editor?

    Not tried F12 but I don't think it works for me in-game, will try later out of curiosity though.
     
  14. F12 should work for a steam screenshot.

    For me F12 works, must be something with the settings. Maybe something with windowed mode?

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\(your id)\760\remote\24010\screenshots
    760 = Steam screenshot app ID
    24010 = Train Simulator Classic
    Or just press Steam / (top menu) / View / Screenshots

    There are additional options to change hotkeys and including saving an uncompressed copy. Consult this settings page of Steam:

    I'm only using F12 if I want to publish that screenshot on Steam.

    Greenshot does the rest, you can instantly edit the image and save it where you want to.
