Re: PC version: Taking screenshots in cutscenes (without Photo Mode)

@project-e-verOn Windows 10, Win Key + PrntScr should screenshot your game and save it as a PNG in a directory you can set in the Settings app.

    Cheers @PakunaMatata! Your help is very much appreciated!

    I had until now ignored the Xbox game bar that came with Windows 10 (as a diehard PC gamer, anything labeled Xbox is suspect 🤓 ), as all my other games were able to generate screenshots without that app, but I've now tinkered with it and it works. It seems to take a sceenshot if I press Win Key + Prnt and WinKey+Alt+Prnt (as the Xbox game bar settings want me to). I'll fiddle with it a bit more to learn is there's any difference, but the important thing is, that I now know it's possibble.

    Thank you once again, you're a lifegamesaver! 🥳

    This is something I'm trying to do as well, now that I've finally gotten MELE3 to give a good face.  Could you tell me where this settings app you're talking about is?

    Win Key + PrntScr will save the screenshots to the "Pictures/Screenshots" folder. 
    The Windows "Game Bar" can be configured to take screenshots via hotkeys too.  

    If you have a NVIDIA or AMD GPU, both vendors provide much more sophisticated tools for screenshots or videos. Just Google NVIDIA app or AMD Adrenalin
