What happened to my screen shots

General Technical Issues Started Last reply 4 posts
I participated in defending Innandril castle last night and took a lot of screen shots of the event. When I went to view them this morning they weren't in the system folder of my L2 directory!

What happened to them! I KNOW they were captured. I saw the message on my screen. The only thing I can think of is I dc'd and they weren't saved to my folder?

What's this all about? Grrrr... Those were some really nice shots too.
What format do you normally save as? I always save as a high quality jpeg, but I noticed when C4 launched, that screenshot file type defaulted to bitmap. I changed it back to high quality jpeg, but there have been a few occations when it has switched itself back to bitmap. Check for a group of different image filetypes in you system folder.

Hi Kirisa,

I checked all through my system folder. All of them are grouped together regardless of format. I don't know what happened to them but they just aren't there. I must've taken at least 25 screenies last night but then I dc'd later on. Doesn't seem like that would make a difference though. I even did a global search for Shot00* and that didn't find them either.
Gah, I feel like such an idiot. Before I went looking for them this morning I trashed about 100 of what I thought was old screenies. Because the bmp was the default setting with C4 I trashed the ones I took last night because they started the number from 0001!

Thanks Kirisa. I owe ya one. Warning: do not go looking for screenies that you took the night before without getting at least 5 hours sleep prior.
