attaching a file

Post by Lynn123 »

Error

If you want to post screenshots here please use the image server provided by Giants: viewtopic.php?f=829&t=88819

And btw. if you are playing on Windows/Mac OS X the game has a built in screenshot function, so you don't need to use your phone to take screenshots while playing.

Glad I could help. When posting the link to the image her, please use one of the "BBCode" strings that are given on the page that you get after you've uploaded the image instead of just copying and pasting the URL from the browser. I've just updated your post where you posted the image to show you what I mean.

I believe Lynn is playing on the PS4??
If so your controller should have a Share Button. This should take a screenshot and it will upload to Facebook or Twitter, I'm not sure how you have yours set up, and I don't have a PS4- I'm just reading this on google.. Then as Don-apple says, you can upload that pic to the Giants image server.


And for those on Xbox, to take a screenshot, double-click the Xbox button, then select Y to save screenshot.
From there it gets tricky -
Go to Home. Select My Games & Apps.
Select Apps. Then choose Game DVR.
Select View All Captures, or select a specific game.
Choose On Xbox Live or On this Xbox.
Select the Photo you want then click Share.

I do have a PS4 I just push the share button on the controller and it will screen shot the screen. I want a pc but not for sure what to get. There is a lot more options when buying a pc than buying a Xbox or ps4

Get on you tube and watch some of Frankie's videos. He has a few pc reviews and you learn a lot listening to what he says about them imo. Here's a good recent one. https://youtu.be/FG-9uI6yT2Y
