Unable to take screenshots
Hi A few days ago I lost the ability to take screenshots in both DAO and DAI. Also the game is not generating any screenshots either. To make sure the problem was not with my computer I tested it on...
August 2021 and I still have this issue on DA:O or at least half of it. I wasn't able to take any screenshot nor was the game taking any story / achievement screenshot despite the fact that I had these turned on in the settings. I was able to fix the first part of the problem by rebinding the screenshot key to another key (in my case, the default key was print screen and I changed it to F12).
So far I've been unable to get the game to take automatic story and achievements screenshots consistently, even though I always get the "New Screenshot" notification when it's supposed to take one, no idea why. I say consistently because the weird thing is that sometimes the automatic story/achievement screenshot-taking feature works. I.e. let's stay I start several new careers with the human noble background, 8 times out of ten no story screenshot would be taken during the first conversation between my character, my father, Duncan and Howe but occasionally the "In charge of the castle" story screenshot which should always be taken during this conversation is taken (hence the "consistently" part). I do have some mods, but I reinstalled the game without any of them and the problem was still there.
I have windows 10 Family, Geforce GTX 980 and up-to-date drivers.
It's not game-breaking or anything but I like this feature, I like the flavor text that comes with these story screenshots, plus sometimes I may not know/remember that I've when completed an achievement or reached a story milestone it so it's nice having the game immortalize the moment automatically for me.
