How to take and post screenies in Serious Sam

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

But if you only take the end of the game shot with the print screen button you can only have one at a time. I you play a second game and uyou hit print screen again then the first one will be lost unless you go out and paste it in paint before your next game.

'Spose I should make it count then.

Another SS2 Newbie question! In order to save your screen shot, after hitting print screen. Is there a way to minimize SS2 so I can paste the shot while I'm waiting for the next game to launch? I take it you can't save multiple end of game screen shots? Or can you?

Also does it take a long time for the next game to start from the server? I've waited a little while, got frustrated, hit escape and re-pinged the list. I've been playing on the Gamemecca Houston servers?

Up until a few weeks ago I only played UT so that's all I know, so please excuse my ignorance.

I have never tried to minimize and paste in paint. I always just hit F11 during the last couple of frags. If I do hit print screen at the end of a game i just exit out of the game open up paint, paste it, then minimize the paint program and fire up Sam again. If you did not run Sam in full screen you could just minimize and open Paint quite easily.

At the end of the game the server will not connect automatically, you must reping the list to join.

If I want to close SS2 I hit control and escape at the same time.

or hit alt and enter at the same time, so you can still see when the next game starts

Or hit your Windows or start button key. That will shrink down any game you are playing. If you play lots of different games, I suggest getting a program that has its own built in screen capture such as paint shop pro. Then you can assign your own hotkey or snapshot key (for example mine is f12) This way you can switch between games and only have to remember one key to use. You can snap multiple pictures of any screen with this type of screen capture.

Thank you all!

Hypersnap DX LINK
This software lets you assign a hotkey and it will capture as many screenshots as you want without leaving the game.
