How to take a screenshot of World of Tanks

Let's start with what it is screenshot(Screenshot)? And this is nothing more than a screenshot (screen-screen, shot-frame). I described above why this is needed, but it’s up to you to decide what to do with it.

So... First, look for the “print screen” button. It looks something like this:

...and it is located on top of the arrows...

We press it, no matter where you are, either in the hangar or in battle... it doesn’t matter... and we see the following message:

There are times that for some reason you need to take a screenshot not in battle or the hangar, but, for example, on the login page or even earlier when launching the launcher. And here the problems begin... After all, the client does not see that you are pressing the “print screen” button until it is launched. But even here everything is elementary and simple.

After clicking “print screen”, the screenshot is copied to the so-called “clipboard”, i.e. into the RAM of your PC and to get it out of there you need to launch any graphics editor, be it Paint, Paint.NET or Photoshop. Personally, I gave my preference to Paint.NET. Where to download this program, I think you’ll figure it out for yourself.

Having launched the editor, open the “Edit” tab and look there for “Insert as a new image” or simply “Insert”.

Wargaming is diligently fighting bots and team killers. So, at the end of September - beginning of October, patch 9.3 will be released, which introduces a completely new “punitive system”, which will automatically ban both for inaction and for unsportsmanlike behavior, expressed in self-destruction, blocking of allies and much more. The system began banning people for killing an ally with patch 0.8.5, which was released on April 18, 2014, but the ban time is usually limited to a couple of days. To ban a team killer for a long time, you need to contact the technical service with screenshots that will display the number of “minus” frags. However, game screenshots may also be needed in other cases: to show off your medals to friends after a battle, to screenshot a unique balance, etc. How to take screenshots in World of Tanks?

Essentially, the answer to this question is very simple. The developers of World of Tanks did not reinvent the wheel and installed the screenshot button on the Print Screen (Prt Sc) key. When you press this key, the screenshot is automatically saved to the folder with the game client. Screenshots of the game are stored in the Games\World_of_Tanks\screenshots folder in JPEG format.

Unfortunately, the game client does not allow you to create screenshots in other formats, but the quality of JPEG files is excellent. The resolution of screenshots is equal to the resolution of your monitor. When the player clicks on the screen capture button, the game interface displays that the screen has been saved.

But recently there have been problems with taking screenshots. For some players, after pressing the Print Screen button, the client automatically closes, for others it freezes. In these cases, special software for taking screenshots will help.

You can use Fraps, Joxi or WinSnap, but it is better to install the lightweight IrFanView utility on your computer for taking screenshots. The official website of the screenshot is http://www.irfanview.com. The program is in English, but it is not difficult to understand. We go to the IrFanView website and click on the “Download” button.

After downloading, install the utility and launch it.

Press the “C” button on the keyboard to open the IrFanView settings. In the “Capture Zone” line, select the first item – full screen. In “Capture Method”, check the “Hot Key” item and click on any key on the keyboard that you want to take screenshots with.

The last setting is the “After the capture” item: set the trigger to the “Save captured image as file” item and select the location to save the file, as well as the format and name mask of the future screenshot. When finished, click the “Start” button.

The program will automatically minimize, and all you have to do is go into the game and take screenshots using the assigned key.
