2017 PC Screenshot Thread

First shot is great.

Do you use photo mode or something for these shots?
Any mods installed?

Thnx! No mods, just the base game itself along with photo mode to align the shot and that's it!

Just a FYI: For the people who look for a Cheat Table on the Cheat Engine forums to enable freecams: they're all gone. Bethesda and others have issued a DMCA letter:

So it's back to sharing tables directly to people I guess. Sad state of affairs if modifying addresses in the memory of your own computer is apparently something 'evil'.

I was going to post about that here too but wanted to see how the situation played out first. Really annoying.....

That said, if you're logged in, you can still access the tables. Not sure if the links work though as I am at work and that site is blocked here for some reason...

The tables forum is locked so no new threads\posts can be created. It's essentially just an archive at this point.

There are solutions to this problem. I like the idea of using GitHub to share tables... but that would require everyone there to learn Github and manage a page. Shouldn't be difficult as most of those guys are talented coders and should already be familiar with it.

Super pissed at Bethesda though for being the ones that initiated this. How the hell has Cheat Engine negatively affected their bottom line? It's some serious bullshit.

You can mod some of Bethesda's games to absurdity and make it sort of a sex game with nudity and explicit animations but aren't allowed to fiddle with the memory for allowing beautiful and artistic screenshots #logic

Are there any more infos on that than the tweet and vague forum post? Bethesda might have lost all my respect.

Ah yes, just checked, the tables are still there and you can still download them, but indeed, no new ones or updated ones can be posted there at the moment. No idea how this will end, but needless to say it's not great.

This guy has some reasoning I think is worth a read: http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5719471#5719471
Quoted for the ppl who can't see CT forums.

Aside from your standard, intellectual property infringement -- patent, copyright & trademark violations (even a simple image in a trainer can qualify), you also have proprietary protection schemes for DLC and other micro-transactions that do not fall under the same classification as typical fair usage rights. Couple that with online components -- subscriptions (profit loss), server-sided data manipulation (illegal tampering) and just about anything that can be used to make a claim (legitimate or not), and that makes for a lot of ammunition.

Unfortunately, a lot of what we do might fall under a legal, gray area -- especially when you have offline, single player games that also have online components that happen to use the same instructions for handling that same data. I will not mention any examples for obvious reasons, but this poses a real problem for publishers that never intended for their work to be used in an online environment.

If we write a script or a trainer that allows players to alter the money value for their offline, single-player game, and they end up using it for the online mode, then we may have no control over that. For example, a game that is designed deliberately in such a way, making in-game cash generation for the online portion of the game to be such a grind, but because the cash is such an integral part of the game and is ultimately the focus and driver for success, that the developers are able to capitalize on that opportunity by issuing real cash exchanges for in-game currency.
When the cash value is being handled by the same instruction for both, offline and online modes, and that data can be manipulated at the client level, then that makes for a very weak argument from a legal perspective.

CE and most of what gets published on CEF are tools, and should be classified as such. What you do with those tools is another matter. Just as a gun or a car or a VCR are all tools that can be used to do illegal things -- that should not make them illegal to purchase or sell. What you do with those tools is what matters. The person selling those tools should not be held liable.

It is obvious that some tools are designed for the purpose of circumvention and other questionable activities, which is why online games and warez are and should be prohibited for discussion.



the DMCA crap is over-the-top crap, and put forward likely by a company which does this in bulk, like it also happens on e.g. Youtube videos... But it also might very well be they think it's a piracy site... nevertheless, what we do on our own PCs is our own business, not the business of some corporate suit.

Perhaps once they realize that CTs used for creating screenshots actually sell more games they'll make an exception, but knowing lawyers can in general barely operate a mouse, I fear that nuance is incomprehensible for them.
 
Holy shit! What's your PC like and at what FPS does this run?
780 TI in SLI
Nobody can answer that question for you. All depends on what res you're playing at and if you're using large armies or not with unlimited funds & most importantly whether the game is a 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4.

From what i'm aware, even a single 1080 will struggle in a 4vs4 using large armies in higher resolutions.

The game really isn't well optimised for how it looks, just my opinion though. And those shots are heavily edited with ReShade as the vanilla game looks rather bad.

Also, sad news about CE.

I've literally purchased games based on screenshots from these threads. There's no way in hell CE has anything to do with their sales, other than improving them.

My hope is that the companies are making their own 'photo-mode' cameras for games, but somehow I doubt the world is that nice.

Does anyone know of any tools that can hide HUD in "The Division?" I could've sworn i saw the cinematic tools on Hatti's download page the other day, and now they have vanished!

Loving the XCOM2 shots but that last one needs some deband badly. =P That doesn't seem to happen in all of the sky shots though.

Yeah I figured as much when I looked through it. The sky is usually not the thing that's shown in the game so I never bothered with deband.
 
You can disable most of it, but objective reminder is lit like a Christmas tree all the time.
Hattiwatti removed the CineTools a long time ago to prevent people taking advantage of it. Imagine your bud telling you the position of others in the dark zone. (Btw, this was something I was wondering while using the Tools in the B1-Beta. I could easily tell others where the enemy was. Is this still possible? :D)

You can try the HUD-toggle (I think done by the janitor):

CT update: Cheat Engine forums seem to have moved to a different url (follow forum.cheatengine.org) and the site itself redirects to github, I think to mitigate the DDoS on the site. All cheat tables have gone now unless the old forums are coming back. Some tables have been re-uploaded to the new forums, but not all of them. So not good for us, screenshotters.

Surely whoever is running that place has a backup of the forums, table attachments included?
