What are you using for capturing screens in Fear? PRTSCRN?

FEAR has an ingame capture button.
It's one of the F keys.
Off the top of my head I think it's F12.
If not try F5, F8, or F10.
Hope that helps

Yes I've been using Print Screen.
Thank you! I tried looking that up in the control settings, and I didnt see it there, so I just assumed FEAR didnt have one.

Neither the game's manual or the ingame configuration specifies a hot key. I know what you are saying there. The only reference to F keys is the unmapable(unchangable) F keys used for quick saves and quick loading. The default key configuration is on the back of the booklet as well as the last section in it.

Do you not believe me?
All of my FEAR screen shots were taken with F12 (pretty sure it's that Fkey).
I agree that it isn't documented anywhere, but it works.

Where do you find them when you go to look? Are they found in the "base\screens" folder created by the game or somewhere else on the drive like in Docs+Settings under your user name in the MyDocuments folder? To simply look at and download screens for the game you can go to http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/fear/screenindex.html But I'm looking to see if that will work or I can grab them with the prtscrn key. The folder on the drive will tell you right off if an F key was used.

yes Lol.
I'll give that a go shortly when I get into the expansion version and later in the original. The print screen key may be one other key to use. It would be better having a screen capture program that worked with it for use on other games as well. That keeps the file format as jpg and not png, tga, bmp, and anything else. It gets time consuming resaving each one individually as jpgs!
EDIT:
The F8 key was confirmed at http://www.tweakguides.com/FEAR_8.html However when the F8 key was pressed while running the expansion pack version along with the print screen key to see if one of either worked nothing was saved to bmp. Once I get through the expansion pack completely a quick trip into FEAR while test that out with the MS keyboard used here. That could be a problem at itmes. This is one reason for finding a program that will work in the game as well as for general purpose.

During my highly precise and extensive studies; I have come to the conclusion that in order to capture screen shots in FEAR and the Expansion pack, that the F8 key is in fact the simplest means of doing this with out using 3rd party programs.
If this means does not work for you then I would have to conclude that you have an id10t error on your hands.

I'm sorry I just couldn't resist. All in good humor.
