fraps comes with a feature for taking screenshots. i'm just saying that this problem isn't because of win8, as i had it and the screenshot feature was working just fine

it is because of Windows 8, holmes, it's a true answer and we'll all have to deal with it. even Pako can prove before installing Windows 8, he could do as many screenshots as his Documents folder could count. windows 8 is a good operating system, we all agree with that, but it haves his ups and downs, and sadly it haves a big down for the lazy SAMP players that don't want to get fraps.

Well, for example, Mohamed Taher( a player ) has win8 and he can take SS, I don't think this is because of win8...

and i can say that i had windows 8, it has no downs apart from it being a microsoft product and it doesn't prevent you from taking screenshots as i was able to take them. and i WILL be able to take them again when i get my win8 back.

Yo guys, I found the problem... I must have the highest resolution to take screenshots, look at the picture, I changed the resolutions and only with the biggest one worked, fuck this shit.... thanks anyways for your opinions guys! That means it is not a window problem! WINDOWS 8 FTW!

I had the same.

Change your resolution.

It is because of windows 8, I'm not sure what causes it but this is how you can fix it.

Right click your desktop, click screen resolution

Now the screen resolution box will pop up, take that number that is recommended, and take note of it

Go ahead and load up GTA SA, press ESC, options, display, advanced, set your resolution to the same exact resolution windows 8 runs at.


I have windows 8 (im on my w7 netbook, none the less) i have the same issue, this is the only way I've ever fixed it. I never wanted to bother pirating FRAPs and i certainly didn't want to buy it or use the trial. Let me know if this doesn't work and I'll try to teamview you and help you.
