Check it's bound right. I seem to remember Steam binding F5 to something like "snapshot" instead of "screenshot", but they might have fixed that. Check in the console with bind f5. If it's bound to "snapshot", try bind f5 screenshot.

If not, you're looking in the wrong directory is my bet.

Did it work...
I have problems with F5 in HL and DoD.
Both produce a .bmp, but it is black.
The only fix I have found is using Prt Scr/Sys Rq instead.

While we are on the subject, I can't remember where the command to turn OFF automatic end of game screen shot is.
I looked in my folder the other day and it was full of MP end game screenies.

Im using steam to and im not having the end-game problem you have Andy, are you sure steam uses that by default?

Rabid: The screenshot command is supposed to output TGAs.

Andy: The option was in the multiplayer advanced options. If you can't find it, you could use the console command "hud_takesshots 0".

Arhhh, Ok,
I figured it was somewhere but couldn't find it. Umm, I still can't find it in advanced options.. but I changed the config.cfg so that should stop anymore being taken.
Thanks..

Now about those F5 screenshots in Day of Defeat.
The key is bound, but the results are a 1.3Mb .bmp black screen
Could be my crappy video card?

It's a possibility. What render mode're you running?

Just what I was about to suggest: try changing your video mode.

How about using Insert button next to F12!I always use the insert button to take screenshots.not just in the half life ,in every program and game. :nuts:

Next to F12? Isn't that Prt Scr?

Of course it is, and I'm sure that's exactly what he meant.

Spot on Kol..
Intergrated Intel Graphics,

Why?
I don't have $300 Aus spare to get a decent graphics card that will run HL2 on full detail. Until I do, I have decided not to play it at all.

Maybe next year :)

I wouldn't be suprised if software produced bitmaps, as it requires bitmap skies instead of Targas.

No, I was playing GL. Snapshot or whatever's default takes BMP, Screenshot takes TGA. It's weird.
