Revan Reborn - Okay, thanks for the save location.  Just one question, though... I have to toggle Share on (black overlay?) and then use the keybind every time I want to take a screenshot? If that's so, it's not going to work for me. Whatever shot I want to take during the cutscene will have already passed by the time I do that... Or am I misunderstanding how it works? I haven't tested anything with Share in-game. I just opened up GeForce Experience (on my Desktop), and then went into the Share options. But... I see the "X" now. Don't know how the heck I missed it... Too tired and frustrated, I guess.  I'm still hoping for some program recommendations, in case Share doesn't work out for me. Already downloaded and tried 2 different ones tonight (Greenshot and Screenshot Captor), and both were a fail. Is there seriously no other alternative, that works like Bandicam, Fraps, or MSI Afterburner?  No. You don't need the overlay up when taking screenshots. You just need to make sure that Share is turned on in Nvidia GeForce Experience (there is a toggle to turn it on) and you should see that a notification pops up when you load the game that Share is on. All you have to do is take screenshots with Left Alt + F1 and it will automatically save those screenshots to the corresponding folder. The screenshot should also be instantaneous the moment you hit the keys, even if the notification that "a screenshot has been saved" is sometimes delayed. I've pressed it several times in rapid succession and Share captured every shot I wanted in a cutscene. As far as alternatives, I'm not the right person to ask with regard to that. I exclusively use Nvidia GeForce Share and Nvidia Ansel for all of my screenshots (I also have Windows 10). Those are by far the most convenient and effective methods, once you understand the ins and outs of course. Don't worry about asking questions. It took me forever to find the folder for screenshots as well since Nvidia doesn't explicitly tell you where it is... Anyway, I hope Share works out for you. Let me know if you have any other questions. |

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks so much for the info and taking the time to explain! Okay, so... it sounds pretty simple and straightforward. Great! It's toggled ON in GeForce Experience, and I've rebound the Screenshot Key to F6 (a single keypress will be much less awkward for me). Going to grab a coffee here in a min, and then give it a whirl. Thanks again! (and to everyone else who responded). Much appreciated! |

If I ever decide to play the game again, I'll have to remember this thread.  I thought it was strange that Print Screen works to take screenshots with DAI, but not with MEA... |

I noticed nobody put in options for AMD cards. If you use Raptr then it has a screenshot function (usually left-ctrl+F12), or AMD's ReLive software can take them as well.

If I were to play on PC, which I don't btw, I woud do the following:
Open Steam.
Add program --> Add Origin to the Steam Apps.
Load Origin through Steam --> gives you Steam overlay in Origin and the games.
Load MEA, use Steam screenshot function.
This works, I used for the trial.

I was so upset that all my screenshots were coming out black. I thought PrtScn would work! XP I'm glad I found this thread.
