SJKSJK 225 Posted December 28, 2013 No matter what I do I can't access the steam overlay in game or take screenshots using F12. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aodqw97 78 Posted December 28, 2013 Yup, and use FRAPS or xfire? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merrick362 (DayZ) 263 Posted December 28, 2013 Ditto. I just use fraps for screens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SJKSJK 225 Posted December 28, 2013 I have it enabled. It's very strange. Other games I can Shift+tab and it pops right up. Dayz never. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HIHBGaming 14 Posted December 28, 2013 Very odd since I do not have any issues with the Steam overlay or screenshot function in DayZ SA.Only one I do have is mistakenly having the overlay pop up when I'm moving slowly(shift) and I open up my inventory(tab), but this is just me being too lazy to bind a different key for opening the inventory UI. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SJKSJK 225 Posted December 30, 2013 Just to wrap this up. If anyone else can't use steam overlay with DAYZ alpha, the problem was with windows 7 User Account Control(UAC). Disabling this solved the problem for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daze23 549 Posted December 30, 2013 I have it enabled. It's very strange. Other games I can Shift+tab and it pops right up. Dayz never. for some reason these things don't work for me the first time I hit the button, but they usually work the second time and every time after that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mays (DayZ) 154 Posted December 30, 2013 You can't take screenshots while holding ALT or aimed in, I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aodqw97 78 Posted December 31, 2013 You can't take screenshots while holding ALT or aimed in, I believe.I thought this, but when I checked my FRAPS image directory the shots were there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
