Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if anyone else has found this, but after the Rev beta I noticed my client has stopped saving my screenshots as .bmp files and reverted to .jpg.

I still have -bmp in my command line arguments and I definitely haven’t changed any settings.

Is anyone else having this issue/know how to fix it?

I had that problem long ago when I used the ingame screenshot options too, and no one knew how to fix it.

I still don’t know but maybe what I did to work around it will be of use to you.

You can switch to an external program for screenshots. I personally use http://puush.me/ but there are many other options: http://alternativeto.net/software/puush/

However one thing to mention is that with puush they won’t be bmp files but instead will be png by default.

Thank you for the recommendations, I’ll look into them!

It’s just incredibly frustrating that something so fundamental might well warrant a third party program get-around when it was absolutely find one day and then changed for no reason the next. Very confusing and frustrating. :/

The actual file type doesn’t bother me too much, png or bmp is fine, it’s the reduction in quality that’s the biggest kicker for me.

I’d still be interested to know if anyone else has specifically encountered this after the Rev beta though and if any solutions have been found that don’t involved third-party programs.

After booting the game, closing it, removing the -bmp, relaunching, closing, then re-adding -bmp again yesterday, it fixed the issue.

But then today, it reverted back to .jpg again.
