How do you take a screenshot of OHOL on Windows?

I know to press prtsc, but everytime I did that and afterward pasted it onto paint it showed a screenshot of my desktop instead of the game window. Is the game window invisible somehow? Plz someone help me

On Windows, you can use ALT + PrtScn to capture just the currently focused window.  The game also uses the equals sign = to save a .tga file into a "screenShots" sub-folder within your game.

Re: How do you take a screenshot of OHOL on Windows?

Ì got the same problem when trying to make screenshots from playback games.
Only when doing playbacks the = isn't working.
Also Alt + PrtScn doesn't do anything for me, except make a screenshot of my desktop.

I hate Windows 10 so much.

Even more than Vista.

I open the game through Steam and use F12 like in any game and it saves them via Steam.

Re: How do you take a screenshot of OHOL on Windows?

I press Windows-Key + Print Screen, that works for me. But sometimes it captures the screen that was from a few seconds ago, to get around this I usually just press Alt + Tab to switch to desktop and then switch back again and take a screenshot.

Re: How do you take a screenshot of OHOL on Windows?

or get a program for screen shooting
i use snagit and has no delay on screenshot, even i got ram lag, displays the actual second when i pressed the button
also has no problem with openggl or directx games and has a nice editor
just its not free

their free tool is jing

dunno mutch about it but if its anything similar does the job

or just find something else, there are tons of screenshot programs compatible with imgur and anythign better than windows basic stuff

Playing OHOL optimally is like cosplaying a cactus: stand still and don't waste the water.

Personally I downloaded Lightshot years ago and still use it to this day. It binds to your prntscrn button, but gives you an interactive UI when you press it [so you can crop the screenshot to what you want it before you take it]. Always worked well for me.
