    Default Help! I Can't take a screenshot (Only get black images )

    Each time I press the "PrtSc" key to take a screenshot I only get a black image. Does it mean anything wrong of those settings in the "Preference Editor" or other problems ?

    I have that problem too, but only when I play in windowed mode. Just use FRAPS or any other program for making screenshots.

    You need to turn off 'anti-aliasing'. It will cause black screenshots.

    Thanks a lot, it works! But another question: Does the 'anti-aliasing' really influence the graphics quality? I have tried "AA_OFF" and "AA_HIGH" but found no difference.

    It makes jagged edges seem smoother (it's an illusion). I didn't notice it myself 'till I found out what it does.
