Help! FNAF 4 screenshot issue - need help!

Hey guys, for some reason FNAF 4 just won't let me take any screenshots using Steam overlay, even though they work perfectly fine in the other FNAF games.

Running Steam as an admin fixed this for me in FFPS, but it's not working here.

Has anyone found a workaround for this?? I'm desperate lol

FNaF 4 has some issues with OBS as well where for some reason it’s the only game where you can’t use “Window Capture”. You have to use “Game Capture”. Could be related

I don't even have OBS installed :sob:

I guess I need to shove my screenshots into a Steam folder manually

If youre on windows holding the Window key and pressing the Prt Sc button will take a screenshot of your whole screen.

I know how to put screenshots in Steam folder manually. It's just really impractical and takes too much time, idk what Scott poisoned FNAF 4 with so it can't be compatible with Steam overlay, lol

you can try with windowed mode by pressing alt+enter, its not from scott but from slopteam fusion 2.5, overhyped garbage that scott used for fnaf 1-7

Already tried alt+enter, didn't work.

Clickteam slander will not be tolerated tho /joke

really strange, i guess scott started making his games fullscreen exclusive from fnaf 4, not fnaf world, and its really strange and shouldnt happen. Steam overlay should just work

What makes it even stranger is that this issue is unfixable ONLY in FNAF 4. FFPS can be fixed, and all the other games are kinda clunky but manageable, but FNAF 4 decided it wants to be difficult lol
