Well, Not sure what is really going on. Currently using ORTS X3027, and previously had X3022 when the issue of Prnt Scrn started to no longer work. I upgraded to X3027 thinking it would solve the problem, and that it did not.
Early it was working fine, I noticed it would stick a little, but take the shot. When to take another shot, it didn't do so, but stuck. So I proceeded two more times of pressing the prnt scrn button, simulation stopped like it was taking a shot, and then exited to the ORTS dash.
No idea what is going on. Only program I recently installed was Paint Shop Pro 8.
Running on a Windows 8.1 laptop. Tried a simple restart of the laptop, and that didn't do the trick.
Not really sure if I am feeling it with this Windows 8.1 system..
Prnt Scrn No longer working

Thing is, I had little problem with ORTS until today. I've had this laptop since Jan.
Honestly not sure if downgrading to Win7 is worth my time, as I have little of it currently.

Things work well here (Win7).
vince, your "confirmed" means you have the problem too, I assume?
Guilford, where were your screenshots saved when things worked?

Well I just tried it again and it now seems to be working normally! C:\Users\Vincent\My Pictures\Open Rails is the folder I use.
It began failing after 04-20-15 and I didn't try it until I read the thread this morning so between 04-20 until I updated last night to X3027
:bigboss: (I didn't try a SS at that time) so not sure exactly when it started working.
regards,
vince

Far as I know it has never stopped working as a friend sends me screenshots from OR on an almost daily basis. He also updates whenever one is available.

It must be a simple flaw that sometimes happens. Maybe because my FPS is too low sometimes?
I did recently do a fresh install of Open Rails, even though it's not really a install program, a simple unzip, move folder, and run.
I'll try again a little later when the virus scanner finishes up.

Recent log from ORTS. Not sure much help it will give though.

Hi folks, sorry for the constant replies as if I have nothing better to do.
I managed to find a work around. I swapped the screen shot button from prnt scrn to delete, and it works fine with the delete button. So now it's down to something being wrong with the prnt scrn button itself. Not the actual ORTS coding. Well then...
Still getting use to this laptop after four months..
