Can't take screenshots
Can't take screenshots
When I'm taking a screenshot outside of the actual launched game (so on ESO, in the menu etc.), it neither records in the „Screenshots" folder, which is normal, nor can I paste it in a graphic program like Paint — it inserts an entire black window instead. My graphic card is NVIDIA GeForce 920M and my OS is Windows 10. Can I do anything about it?

This does work for me, but I'm not really sure what could make this work for you, if it's even possible on certain hw/sw setups. You could try switching to/from windowed mode in options.

Re: Can't take screenshots
Yep, would try toggling windowed mode.

Great, it works, and I don't actually notice any difference in the quality of playing between full-screen and windowed mode! Thanks a lot!

Nice, and did you turn it on, or off?
The only difference I notice in windowed mode is that alt-tabbing works much faster, so I use windowed mode.
Worthy of noting is also that the game won't fill the screen in windowed mode if you choose a lower resolution than normal in settings. I have to enable fullscreen when I want to use OBS UI, because I need to downscale the resolution to 1920x1080 (and I don't like having the game in an actual window).
Re: Can't take screenshots
I turned windowed mode on. Indeed, it seems smoother. Thanks for all the info!
Re: Can't take screenshots
Well, for some time I could, but now when I take a screenshot that is saved in the folder (with all these signs, strings and thumbnails around), it looks like this. I'm pretty sure I haven't changed anything. Print-screening seems to be working normally, just F5 button is broken.

Re: Can't take screenshots
It looks like it's a resolution issue. My standard is 1366x768, but for some reason I have 1360x766 enabled in the game, next to 1366x768. When I don't have my standard resolution set, all screenshots look perfectly fine, whereas whenever I switch to normal settings, it goes „retro". It's also only a game's problem, as I can take screenshots without any hassle with the Print Screen button and then paste them in Paint or Windows Key + Print Screen buttons. But I'd like to fix this as the images are saved in the proper folder automatically.

Re: Can't take screenshots
I'm pretty sure its a windowed mode thing. I had this happen to me before and it was always dependent on me being in windowed mode.
Re: Can't take screenshots
I had a different type of bug when not in a windowed mode, so I think it's a lose-lose situation for me...

:( What's bug then?
Re: Can't take screenshots
It's explained above in the OP. But now, apparently, I'm not even able to switch between a windowed and non-windowed mode. When I change that in settings, it's just not saved, for some reason...

yes... personally, when I am in windowed mode I can have full screen when 1366*768 enabled (but screenshots have this bug), and when I am not in windowed mode, the game doesnt save the 1366*768 resolution for some reason.
About switching between windowed and non-windowed mode, I have the same problem as you, therefore I do as @jamesmp98

Re: Can't take screenshots
Thanks! Although I doubt it'll be useful for me, a windowed mode is just so much more superior to a non-windowed one!
