    kadasco  For the screenshots issue, does it help to play in "windowed fullscreen" (i.e. Borderless) mode, or standard windowed mode?  Does it help to switch to DirectX 9 mode?  What about clicking shift-S first, so that the Windows key is the last one you press?  It shouldn't make a difference, but perhaps it does in this case, particularly in the still-not-perfected DirectX 11 mode.

    For the issue with taking time off, please use this master bug thread:

figured it out thanks, it was the windowed fullscreen, not sure why it worked previously on the fullscreen setting but it's not a big deal.  i've never adjusted that particular setting but messing around with it solved the issue.  thanks anyway and i'll refer to the other post for the separate issue, i'll leave this up in case anyone has a similar issue as it's an easy fix.
