Screenshots not working anymore

[Trackmaniack]

Hey guys, quick question since I've been away for a while and may have missed an update. Did the screenshot maker get bolloxed when I wasn't looking? Because now when I go to take a screen, it acts like it's going to take it, but then flashes me back to the regular mediatracker screen, only with the progress bar and "Cancel" still on the screen. And, no matter hot long I wait (4, 5 hours o_O) it never takes the screen. Help?

Do you use Blur durations? Freecam?

[Trackmaniack]

Well, hell if I know--but now it's working again.

If i set blur on the screenshotmaker it doesnt work on my pc indeed.

Possible solution: You have to have blur force-enabled in your PC settings before you run TM2. Dunno if this is an add-on in a new update--I mean it makes sense, kinda, but my PC can't handle blur on, so I have to run TM2 to actually play it, then get -all- the way back out, reset a bunch of settings, and hop back in to do screenshots.

Pc-settings? as in settings for my gfx? or do you mean settings in the maniaplanet launcher?

Because it doesn't change anything if I force blur on in the launcher.

I do mean Maniaplanet Launcher--and that's odd...unfortunately, I don't know what else to tell you

I got the exact same issiue in my game. It only happens when I want to add motion blur to the picture/screenshot.
Sometimes Im lucky to snap 1 or 2 pics with motionblur, before the bug occurs. But if I turn motionblur of, I get to take all the screens I want.

Here's a screenshot of the bug at my pc:


Hope somebody know what could cause it.

I remember I had that too, but I don't know if it was in combination with motionblur. Maybe it was. However, I never had the bug again since then. Maybe cuz I haven't yet experimented around with motion blur again

Here's what I've discovered after some testing (and this could just be my horrible rig, I dunno), but when you have other effects enabled (trails, 3dfx, DoF, etc), it'll bug out. If it's just motion blur, and it's -not- in the MT, you have to set it from the photo settings, then it'll be okay. Dunno why it does this, because obviously some people are able to get some -amazing- screenshots with all kinds of effects...but this may be a temporary solution.
