My graphics are going seriously wonky and I wanted to post and show a screenshot of what it looks like. I just don't know how to capture the in game image. How do you guys do it? Thank you

Ah, found the guide showing the how to. Nevermind. :)

Depends on what you have (sort of) For a PC just push F9..(push F12 first if you want to get rid of interface)

If you have a mac you may have to play with the settings first to be able to do that:

1. Open System Preferences
2. Look under Hardware; Keyboard and Mouse
3. Check: Use F1, F2 etc. as Standard Option Keys button (This just makes it so you don't have to push fn. If you leave this unchecked it's fine. Just make sure to push fn and F9 at the same time when taking the screenshot)
4. Next click the Keyboard Shortcuts tab
5. Scroll down and uncheck F9 (F1-F6 for weapons, F7 for game options, &/or F12 to get rid of the interface)

Now if you go on game any of the F_ options you unchecked should work as normal function keys.

Sorry if that is a little confusing. If your still having trouble I will try to explain it better.... :7:

Or just use OS X's methods of screen capturing:
  • Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a file on the desktop
  • Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it as a file on the desktop
  • Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it as a file on the desktop
  • Command-Control-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it to the clipboard
  • Command-Control-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it to the clipboard
  • Command-Control-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it to the clipboard

For simplicity's sake, the 1st and 3rd options would probably be the easiest.
