TheCheatz Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 This issue still exists. Additionally, I have found out that when the issue is happening, my Print Screen key's functionality is locked out in ALL applications, even when I unbind it in the game client. This was easy enough to test by opening Paint, hitting Print Screen with Paint as focus, and attempting to Paste while the SWTOR client is still running and I am experiencing the issue in-game. Nothing happens. Quitting and reloading the client fixed the issue, both in-game and in other applications, but that's a band-aid fix at best and will get extremely annoying.

Excise Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 A slightly better band-aid is to download PlayClaw or some other screenshot software and use that instead of SWTOR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I'm glad you posted. I too have this issue at times, usually when I'm trying to get character profile screenshots on my 10 characters. The Print Screen key just stops working entirely.

AshlaBoga Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Print Screen stops working after 2 hours of being logged in. Not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acheri Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Still an issue! Started happening to me only after 3.0. Sometimes it works, then 5min after it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerba Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Can confirm this. Print screen works fine when I login but stops working after a few hours. Additionally, I have found out that when the issue is happening, my Print Screen key's functionality is locked out in ALL applications, even when I unbind it in the game client. This was easy enough to test by opening Paint, hitting Print Screen with Paint as focus, and attempting to Paste while the SWTOR client is still running. Keep in mind that the Windows print-screen function requires you to press Ctrl + PrintScreen to take a screenshot. When you just press PrintScreen, nothing happens for regular programs.

Quentori Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) You know.....never had to press ctrl with it or anything, nor have issues after a few hours. I always find my screen shot in my documents area. Edited July 8, 2015 by Quentori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmwfte Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Given that they sell a holocamera to generate screenshots, I wouldn't be surprised if the PrintScreen button working at all is the bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulmara Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Still an issue! Started happening to me only after 3.0. Sometimes it works, then 5min after it doesn't. Still an issue as of today. Been here since launch. Finally hit top score in a GSF deathmatch and print screen lets me down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed-ward Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I have the same problem. Sometimes I can take screenshots, but mostly not. This seems random. I just lost an awesome picture of doing twice the dps than the rest of the team. Mentioned it in chat and now I can't show a proof because Bioware let me down! /cry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laiov Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) This seems random. Classic bug, triggered reliably by two things in my experience. The first is switching characters: logging out of one toon and into another without exiting the client can break print screen. The second is zoning. This one is less consistent, but sometimes zoning into certain story areas, like the alliance base, can break print screen. In this case zoning out again may clear it.
