Re: How to take screenshot in Dragon Age Inquisition on PC

Hit the screenshot key. The screenshots are saved to your Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Screenshots folder.

If that's not working for you, then I suppose your left with screen capture tools, like Fraps.

    hi mersukuski,

    thanks for trying 🙂

    If you read my message closely, you will see that the "screenshot" key is what I am attempting to utilize....

    as it works in other games even other DA games in my experience. Online, perusing the forums,

    others are also having the same problem I am experiencing.

    I would love to hear from someone who is actually aware of the issue and has resolved it.

    So my post is for any assistance that the writer has experienced as successful.

    Again, I appreciate your trying tohelp.

    So the print-key itself is working, right?

    If so and you're using a non-standard keyboard (special/macro keys and stuff) and have a separate software installed for it, you will need to force-run it as administrator (close the relating software and right click -> run as administrator it via start menu).

    Otherwise it does not have enough permission to hook into the DA:I-process and send special key events (like the print-key).

    This is no DA:I specific issue, but part of general security how processes are able to interact and share data on a security layer.

    It's the same if I intend to control iTunes for example running in the background while playing DA:I.

    I will need to force-run it as administrator in order iTunes to accept input while DA:I is in foreground otherwise DA:I is blocking anything going outside as it's on a higher security layer - and it's the same backwards from outside into DA:I.

    Cheerio,
    Matricus
