screenshots

[upirlikhyi]

i know where the folder is but the ss are not saving there any ideas on how to find the path they are saving to?

Are you pressing the right key?

You could also use the computer's search tool to look for pics named "WoWScrnShot".

yea it says captured and i have the folder in my wow files but the ss are not saving there its like the path to save got changed

so what i am asking is how do i find the /c: path is there a setting in wow?

Are you perhaps using an addon that messes with screenshots? While not for WoW, I've played MMOs with such addons available and they tend to have their own screenshot folder.

didn't windows change something and now it doesnt get 'auto saved', but you need to manually save it each one there or something? i think i remember reading something along those lines a while ago, but do not quote me on that.

Like I said, use the basic search tool. If they don't go to the default folder, nobody here can know where they are.

Well, let's knock out a basic question:

Are you positive it's not in the screenshot folder? If you have a lot of screenshots, this can be an issue. Right click an empty space on the folder and make sure it's being sorted by date.

I assume that's not the issue, but as someone who's had that issue in the past, I figured, "what if it really is something small like that?".

Are there any screenshots in that folder at all? I think that there is a max number of screenshots that can get saved, before no other ones are written to the folder.

Make sure there's not a permission issue somewhere or the folder is, for some reason, set to read only.

Wanted to type the same...

Maybe you should try to start WoW as an admin and then take a pic.

WoW screenshots are always saved in a specific filename format, e.g. "WoWScrnShot_012918_090347.jpg" So you could search the folder or drive where your WoW installation resides for "WoWScrnShot_*.jpg" for example and locate where these files are.

ty everyone i got it fixed to where they are saving where the should be. tech on blizz forums said rename the folder and it worked
