CTD When Pressing "Print Screen" to take screenshot


Riverwolf

Question

So, I just got STEP Extended set up and going, and everything seems to be working pretty well.  

  • I'm running all options except the 101 bugs mod and the Dual Sheath mod.  
  • I selected the HD option whenever it was available.
  • I have no errors or conflicts on Mod Organizer.
  • Game experiences no stuttering, and frame rate has never dropped below 60 fps.
  • I am using NVIDIA GeForce Experience to watch frame rate if it matters.
  • I have confirmed all drivers are up to date.

 

As soon as I got to Whiterun, I was so impressed by the look of the town I decided to take a screenshot, as soon as I press print screen, the game crashes.  I don't know if this is a STEP issue, a Mod Organizer Issue, or something else entirely.  This is a much more complicated mod setup than I've ever used, so I am honestly slightly out of my element here.

 

Any help would be appreciated, and please let me know if there is additional information I neglected to include that could be helpful.

Everything in the ini files seems to be correct.
 
When you use PrtScrn without any overriding settings, the screenshots are saved directly in the Skyrim directory (C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/common/Skyrim) and this can result in a lot of potential issues with permissions, security, etc. If you have a any screenshots in this folder already, move them all to another folder to get them out of Skyrim's executable folder.
 
Check your Skyrim.ini and I recommend settings like this for the screenshots:
 

[Display]
bAlllowScreenshot=1
sScreenShotBaseName=C:\Users\Greg\Pictures\Skyrim\Screenshots\ScreenShot

bAllowScreenshot just allows PtrScrn to take a screenshot so you likely don't need to worry about this one.

 

sScreenShotBaseeName is used to override the default path and prefix used for the screenshots. In the setting above, I redirect the screen shots to my personal Pictures folder so I don't have to muck with the permissions in Program Files. If you set up an override path like this, make sure the entire path is correct and that all the folders already exist. The easiest way to to do this use to use Explorer to create the folders, then click the address bar, and copy the entire path into the clipboard. Finally, open Mod Organizer's INI Editor, and paste this path right after sScreenShotBaseName=.

 

Note that normally when you press PrtScrn you'll see a message like "Saved ScreenShot2.bmp" If you set sScreenShotBaseName, you'll see "Saved C:\Users\Greg\Pictures\Skyrim\Screenshots\Screenshot2.bmp" (with the full path) instead of just the file name.

 

In SkyrimPrefs.ini, check this setting:
 

[Display]
iScreenShotIndex=1

I don't know how Skyrim handles iScreenshotIndex when it reaches the "maximum", so you might consider resetting it back to 1 to see if this makes any difference.

 

Finally, have you installed any third-party screen capture software recently that might be trying to take over when you press PrtScrn?

I am using PrtScrn.

 

I believe I have the ini files set up correctly, but it's possible I misunderstood something.   I have SKSE.ini in .\steamapps\common\skyrim\data\SKSE and it contains only the following lines:

 

 

[General]
ClearInvalidRegistrations=1
 
[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768
ScrapHeapSizeMB=256

 
As for enblocal.ini, I have it located in .\steamapps\common\skyrim\ 

[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=false
InitProxyFunctions=true
ProxyLibrary=other_d3d9.dll
 
[GLOBAL]
UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=true
UseDefferedRendering=false
IgnoreCreationKit=true

DisableDriverMemoryManager=false
DisablePreloadToVRAM=false
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false

//f4
KeyFreeVRAM=115
 
[ADAPTIVEQUALITY]

DesiredFPS=20.0
 
[ANTIALIASING]

EnableTemporalAA=false
EnableSubPixelAA=false
 
[FIX]

FixParallaxTerrain=false
FixAliasedTextures=true

FixSubSurfaceScattering=true
FixSkyReflection=true
FixCursorVisibility=true
FixLag=false
 
[LONGEXPOSURE]
EnableLongExposureMode=false
Time=1.0
BlendMax=0.0

 
I would appreciate a more experienced eye on these to make sure I set them up properly.
