| When I hit f12 to take a screenshot, I hear a click and it tells me it took a picture, but when I exit the game no window pops up and if I check my screenshots tab or my screenshots folder they do not show up.
I'm curious as to how I can fix this as I would like to take a few more screenshots so I can share them. Does anybody have any ideas? |

| You have to upload them ingame. Or find the folder where they are stored and upload them as artwork. I have no idea what causes this since my old laptop didn't had this. Any chance your using windows 10? it could be that _________________ |

| Unfortunately I'm using Windows 8. I checked the folder in the /Steam//Users that holds screenshots. The only New Vegas screenshots inside were of ones I took a long time ago. It used to work for me, but it stopped. |

| That's where I looked. It only has the screenshots I took from a long time ago. No new ones show up there. |

| hmm. Try taking a screenshot by pressing Ctrl + Prt Scr an ingame prompt should come up saying you took a screenshot, then check you directory for the screenshot. _________________ Rest in Peace, Starman. Say hello to Major Tom for me... |

| I'll try that next time I play, but I used the default f12 to take a screenshot and it told me it took one, but it never saves. |

| I was, but then I started using FOMM which I think automatically uses it. |

| Then press P to take picture it changes the format and places your screens in the fnv common folder which is the one with the data folder in it. (Not the data folder) |

| Alternatively, try pressing: windows key (windows logo) + print screen. Pics should be in game folder (not data). |

| I'll try the "P" thing. I hope that works, but why would they change it? It seems like they wanted people to get stuck.
If I press the Windows key, wouldn't it take me to that god awful start screen though? |

| Just press both keys at the same time. I'm using windows 8 & that's how I get my shots. |

| & by the way, unless not configured, playing in "windowed mode" sometimes relocates where the files are saved. Just check where desktop screenshots are saved. It's probably under: This PC > Pictures > Screenshots. |

| There isn't a screenshots folder in my pictures. I don't think it's saving elsewhere. |

| They are listed in your game directory there is not a specific folder called screenshots, its odd to me that they did not have a folder for but you should find it where your fnv.exe and nvse.exe is and the data folder. _________________ |

| Oh ok. Just mentioning that normal non-game desktop shots will be saved there if using windowslogo+printscreen & maybe playing in windowed mode can get screwy & put it there.. but in-game shots should be in the game folder, like I previously mentioned. |

| None of the mentioned tricks worked. Not "P", not ctrl + P, not Windows key + print screen, not ctrl + print screen. This is very frustrating. Edit 1: I got it to work now. For some reason Steam wasn't saving the screenshots at all so it never worked. I checked off "save an uncompressed copy" in the Steam overlay "set shortcut" tab of the screenshot. I also had to change the directory of where it saved the pictures and made it save to a folder in My Pictures. Man that was a hassle. Fidller, Mr.Flux, me444, aerystmd, and Mr_Lowrie, thanks for the help.
