How to capture screen in the EC?

Ever since the last patch or two, I can't use the Printscreen button to capture an image in the EC. All I get now is a black image using the paste (ctrl-V) command. This used to work, pasting into Paint or GIMP. Did something change?

As a workaround try using the screenshot key from under options or try Alt+Print key

Tried that and it's not working either. I even changed the default screen capture key assignment in the EC, and doesn't work. I don't remember changing any key assignments before, so not sure what's happening. Is yours working, or is it just mine that's bonked?

Maybe I posted in the wrong forum, but was trying to capture a pic of stats on a fresh tame.

Mine works, then again im using windowed mode. Black screen is usually an indication of hardware acceleration offloading the image to the gpu. That way its inaccessible to the printscreen windows function

Why use Ctrl+V to paste?

All the screen shots are saved in .bmp format in the following folder on your computer:

C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\EA Games\Ultima Online Stygian Abyss\Screen Shot

I was going to tell you NUH-UH...

and then I remembered that I remapped my Documents folder to a large 1Tb Data drive, while Windows 7 and games are on a fast SSD. Sure enough, it's on the Win 7 drive in the folder you indicated.

Thank you, DJAD.
