Two Questions

Wed Oct 02, 2013 5:51 pm

I have two questions,
First, is there a way to name saved games so I can actually find them? Because apparently the game loves to auto save and I have a bunch of saved games that I never actually saved So, I can't find the one I actually want because I have 12 separate Shiloh saved games that I never made.
Second, How do I take a screen shot in game. And once I do where will it end up?
Thanks.

1) Screenshot is a piece of cake, mate. Just press <Print Screen> and paste it in a picture viewer or picture editing software
2) Save game location -> go to the Game Options and click on System; regarding the past saves, use the filter option on the top right Load screen, it looks like a funnel.

for image capturing, you can do as Oberst suggests and use print screen, you then need an editor open (paint.net is good and free), paste it there and save. A more elegant solution is to use on the many image capturing software around (Fraps et al), you then just tell it where to save your image and you can opne and edit later on

If you want a very easy and free screen capture tool with some basic image editing features (add text, arrows, basic forms, compress size, ...) you may also try FastStone Capture 5.3 (later versions are not free).

You may also have a look here.

To rename a game, click on the CPU icon in the load window and follow instructions...
