Forgive me if this is in the manual and I missed it but...
I assume it is possible to take screen shots in game, but I don't know how.
Can someone help me out?
click P for pause, then hit PRT-SCR, then hit ALT+TAB to return to windows desktop.
Click START->Programs->Accessories->MSPaint
when open hit CTRL+V and save the file, close paint and ALT+TAB to return to the sea
If your mouse keeps docking in either corner of your desktop, then simply TAB back to E:RT and hit SPACE, then TAB back out.
Thank you Jesper, I'll give that a try.

Fed up with hitting "PrtSc" and leaving E:RT to paste the clipboard?
Me too.
I have been trying this bit of freeware called ScreenGrab:
http://no-nonsense-software.com/download.html
Set it to "Auto-save to file" and it makes life a lot easier...
There is another program that you can use called
Fraps that takes both screenshots, .avi movies and will give you FPS (not shown in screenshot.) Best of all, it's free. The screenshots are taken in .bmp form and can be converted to .jpg with your favorite photo editing program.

I fire up Paint Shop Pro, set a hotkey for screencaps and go to town!
PS: PSP has a free demo.

I use my Print Screen key to get the shot.
I save them in MS Photo Editor, which comes with MS Office, I believe.
I then upload them to
Picture Host. It's free. No registration required. There's a 50K pic size limit, I believe.
What does Picture Host get out of this? Other than that good fuzzy all over feeling, I haven't a clue!

We are nearing a testable build as we speak. Possibly by the end of the week.

The question is . After we have taken a screenshot , how exactly do we transfer it to here ?
Can someone explain that ?
Some have done so , therefore it does not depend on future patches nor keyboard etc, So , how was , and is it done ???
