How to use the NVIDIA capture thingy?

[lBoBl]

Since the F1 key doesn't work to take screenshots anymore, I wanted to use the NVIDIA capture software/overlay, it worked fine on day 1 but since then it doesn't seem to detect KSP 2 as a game and thinks I'm still on the desktop. Even when I press Alt+R to get the performance overlay it appears "under" the game on the desktop. Anyone got any idea how to fix that?

Thanks

Moved to tech support.   Should be in the lounge, but ksp is mentioned I guess.

I use the NVidia controls to record video, and I know to bring them up you have to hit ATL+Z.  This then takes me back to my desktop, but then I ALT+TAB back into the game for the video.

As far as taking screen shots...have you tried ALT+PRTSCRN?  That's how I get my shots, and it doesn't require the use of the NVidia controls.

I know you're used to F1, but you might try assigning a different key in Steam to take screenshots, just to see if that works.

FWIW I've been using F11 forever, and it works fine (so far) in KSP2.

You've had success taking screenshots with F11?  Where are those screenshots stored?

Might be referring to the steam screenshot key, which for me was default F12, but I just changed to F11 to avoid the aero menu. They're all in Steam/userdata in some unintelligible numbered folders. Easiest to just open the image in steam>right click>browse to screenshot

You can press F1 (i think.?) to get screenshots. They appear somewhere inside your ksp2 download in program files x86 (someone please clarify this for me)

I just use Steam for screenshots, and configured it to use F11 a long time ago. It plays the old high-pitched sound from Half-Life when I grab the screenshot.

In Steam (menu) > Settings > In-Game you can configure the screenshot key, and tell Steam where you want to store screenshots if you don't like the default.

My images are stored in the default Steam > KSP2 userdata folder. Your drive and root folder will probably be different, but everything else is likely the same for you:

D:\GAMES\Steam\userdata\[YourUserDataID]\760\remote\954850\screenshots

To launch your screenshots from Steam: On your KSP2 game page, scroll down to Screenshots (on the right), and click Manage my ### screenshots, then double-click an image to open it in your default image viewer.

OK, thanks.  I normally don't launch through Steam.  For screenshots I'm using the builtin Windows XBox controls, but that requires hitting 3 keys simultaneously for a screenshot (Windows-Alt-PrntScrn).  I'm looking for a single key (like F1 used to do).  I'm hopeful that we'll eventually get something in game, but until then I think I'll have to stick with what I have.
