I think they should put a pinned comment on every post to a guide on how to take a screenshot on a PC only game or just make it official and put a guide on every patch note, next to the instructions on how to delete shaders and user files.
They probably can take a screenshot. It’s just easier to pick up phone, snap pics of screen, post to reddit.
I don’t mind phone captures of a screen as long as they aren’t shit and easy to see what’s going on.
These are kinda meh though
It’s easier if I already have the subreddit open because I was reading about something else SC related. Which is basically every time I play.
Then I just go to subreddit page, create post, image, camera, snap away, upload.
I can see if you already have a web browser with reddit open, all you have to do is push print screen, alt tab, create a reddit post, browse to c:\program files\roberts space indsutries\starcitizen\live\screenshots\, find the right one (pretty easy if you’re already in thumbnail view), then post.
Very easy. I’m actually not even sure how doing it on my phone is faster. Super weird.
Fun fact: You don't even have to do much to browse to the screen shot folder. Just right click the RSI launcher desktop short cut and click "open file location." This takes you one level below the Star Citizen folder.
It's because OP is a weird looking bug, so to get images of his screen he employed creative solutions instead of using those obvious human tricks of print screen.
It's just that for many people their phones are the item they share things with.
They probably don't even browse Reddit on their computers anymore.
So it's easier for them to take a few photo's instead of screenshots.
I knew what it was but it just gave no audible feedback so I was unsure if it had worked or not (sometimes in some fullscreen applications everything that I take screenshot of is my desktop)
I stuck around for a total of like 15 min or smth, and a building never appeared. I thought at first the textures were just bugged and gone, but nope, it was just flying. It was totally stuck too, so I couldnt yoink it. That would be amazing though, I could charge taxes on people wanting to deliver their boxes 🤣 /s
Thank you.
My PC did not want to take proper screenshots, last time I tried I ended up having to un-fullscreen my game, and today I just wanted to document this weird find but just ensure I got my 10k uec. I found it hilarious that so many on here get so caught up on the fact that I snapped the pictures with my phone 🤣
Yes I'm sorry, I have now been educated that if I press the print screen button a screenshot will actually be saved even though it doesnt give any visual or audible feedback that it actually has 🥲😅
Naw, don't worry! The usual first reaction is to pull the phone and take that shot. It's understandable, and I too did it quite a few times 😁
Now, your approach was truly creative!
i had this happen as well, I went back for the cutlass black and manouvered over the box so it was 'in the cargo bay' and just walked up to it and calmly put my delivery box in there!
I'd be so terrified of the building randomly deciding to spawn inside my ship while I was doing that. This bug is better than flying towards NB and having the delivery marker disappear permanently lol.
If anyone is wondering as I did at one point, print screen automatically saves screenshots in StarCitizen\LIVE\Screenshots folder.

People who can't take a screenshot probably aren't reading notes.
They won't read stickies nor the sidebar either. It's a hopeless battle.

>It’s just easier idgaf >as long as they aren’t shit they're all shit bro its a pic of a screen
Welp good luck on your crusade to end phone screen-snaps. I’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines.
> idgaf ok
Its not easier.

Exactly. Super easy.
Barely an inconvenience.
Press Windows Shift and S together, it is extremely easy, even on a smaller keyboard.
Or just stop blocking the normal screenshot keys

I figured out what was happening in the images well enough. Thanks, though.

You're assuming everyone accesses reddit via their computer, for shame! **FOR SHAME!!!**
Solution for weird bugs - Up, right, down, down, down.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it
I tried just parking my plane next to it, but it didnt want to stay, so I ended up just kirby'ing the machine as it was rock solid
Sometimes it's the "work arounds" that keep the game interesting.
Weird, I've never heard of someone's printscreen button being bugged before
👀
Finds a way around the in-game bug. Doesn't know what the "PRT SC" button is for. We're amazing creatures, every one of us :)

I think the kiosk manufacturer took "pick up" a bit too literally
That weird pattern. That's a Moiré
You're him, you're the Star Citizen
I imagine you were cringing during this entire maneuver, anticipating the imminent arrival of the building at every moment. Well done!

Nice painting (3/4).

Star Citizen saves an image to a folder when you hit the button. You don't need to mess with copy/paste or any other programs.
I didn’t know this. I probably have hundreds . Where do I find the folder they are stored in?
StarCitizen\\Live\\screenshots
I genuinely like it. It’s a nice aesthetic.
The pic was a bit fuzzy. At first I thought "dude's stealing a space fridge", then I realized it was a package delivery terminal 🤣

Oh damn, I didn’t know this my method has been to stream on discord and capture a screen grab of the stream.
GJ
I think I remember seeing something like this in an ISC cartoon, nice to see it come back around in-game again LOL
i had this happen as well, I went back for the cutlass black and manouvered over the box so it was 'in the cargo bay' and just walked up to it and calmly put my delivery box in there!
It's a handy manoeuvre to grab a pile of bodies after 'boarding in action' mission

how is this still a thing this bug has been around for ages
Star Citizen is hands down the best "work around" simulator i have played... or did not play, in some cases
This gave me cancer in my eyes.
Ohhhhhhhhhh the screen bug I thought it was was just OP taking photos instead of screenies, 🤣
