Screenshots

This isn't really a bug within Remake I guess, but whenever I make a screenshot it's just pitch black. I didn't have this in the past (before I restored my C drive) so I guess I lost some files that were required for this. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this again? I don't remember... :(

That is an old bug since KaM Editor times and even older.. I have no idea what might be causing it. Thing is - you can take 10 screens any time of day and some of them are empty (black) for no reason. I could not find a link between system state and screenshot fail. :(

Screens are made by glReadPixels reading whole render area into memory and then copying it to JPG image.

Hm, that's a bummer :(

Edit: the fourth screenshot worked, I thought it wouldn't work at all. This is okay, mostly I just need the statistics after the game has finished. :)

Yesterday I got a pop-up window from nVidia: new drivers were available. I downloaded and installed them and taking screenshots works as good as it did before (with some 'delay', e.g. I have to take 2 screenshots and only the second one will show what I actually took a screenshot of, the first one often shows the Remake menu even if I took a screenshot during a game).
It's weird though, it seems like I can take 'normal' screenshots with some drivers but not with all, and it's not necessarily the new ones that do work. I won't complain though. :P
