How can i take a screenshots on Origin?

[xXFrozenChromeXx]

There is a way to take a screenshots without the Ctrl-Print -> Paint mode?

Looking in my game data on pc seems there is one folder  called "screenshots"
So there's a way to take screenshots with the game/origin system?

@xXFrozenChromeXx I personally use FRAPS both for recordings and screenshots, it's free and minimalistic.

Origin does not have this feature as far as I know.

I use MSI Afterburner for that (great program to overclock GPU, show FPS/time/other values in the corner, take screenies, set a custom fan curve etc)

Can you tell if it's free or not?

@TaasteTheRainbow thanks, can you tell me if works with windows 10? seems no by watching the site

[TaasteTheRainbow]

@xXFrozenChromeXx Yes it does, I'm currently on Win 10 and using it without any issues at all

P.S. check your private messages

if this is true, and there's no screenshot key... for real??? are you for real origin??? 

[youngmissplebe]

Correct - no screenshot key like F12 in Steam. Sometimes if I forget to open FRAPS before opening a game Ill just use my cell phone to take a photo of my computer screen lol

is there something other than FRAPS (which is not really free because you need to buy to unlock essential feature like saving images to PNG) and MSI Afterburner (which a few games do not like)?

thanks

If you play in Borderless on Win10 all you have to do is press "Windows + PrtScn". It will take a picture of your screen and save it in a screenshot folder inside of your Pictures folder which can easily be accessed via Explorer or be found in "%userprofile%\pictures\screenshots".
