Supports the in-game screenshot functionality. [/INDENT]
So, if you're using version 1.19, you should have screenshot capability. Although, I prefer fraps because, unless I'm remembering incorrectly, you can take multiple screenshots at a time, not just one with PrtScn. If the issue for you with fraps is the frame counter being in the pics, you can disable the frame counter so it doesn't show up in the pics. The PrtScn key is the hard coded key to take .bmp screenshots. I don't know why it wouldn't be working.
Before you go through the trouble of reinstalling KA, are you expecting the KA PrtScn screenshot function to work like Fraps in terms of allowing you to take multiple screenshots at a time and having them show up in your KA game directory folder? If that's the result your expecting, the KA screenshot function doesn't work like Fraps. As far as I recall, and with a test of the KA PrtScn function, the KA screenshot function just puts a screenshot on the OS clipboard that you have to manually paste into MS Paint and then save as a bitmap. So, if you were expecting Fraps functionality from the KA screenshot capability, it's no where near as good.LeDaniel wrote:I have Komat 1.19 version patch, but pushing PrtScn do nothing. Hmmm, some mystery :-). I try reinstal KA, put Komat 1.17 version patch and see, what will happen. Or i install Fraps, and don´t have any troubles :-).
One sidelight - i play KA on my notebook Acer 5742 G ( core i5 2.66 GHz, GT 540) and temperature of core i5 is 95 degrees!!! I think, that engineers of cooling system in my notebook, done very bad work :-(.
i play QB with only two ships... I expect, that my notebook will burn, when i will be in the middle of battle, damn.
I think the predominant issue is that it's a notebook computer that's geared more towards task programs than it it is gaming. If it was marketed as a gaming notebook/laptop, you probably wouldn't see temps that high. Also, as your friend more or less said, it's got a very small form factor and not much room to work with when it comes to pulling heat away from the CPU and GPU and dissipating heat from the cramped internal component area.LeDaniel wrote:High temperature... I discover, that my notebook has low dimension of cooling capacity (sorry, i don´t know, how to explain it, but i think, you understand me). I try to play AvP and Bioshock and my GPU has temperature about 95 degrees celsius. I tell about it my friend, he is IT engineer and he told me - producer -ACER - wont save the money and push price of notebook down, so he put cooling kit of GPU and CPU to minimal level of technician specification by intel and Nvidia. If i play older game, not too much demanding, temperature of GPU and CPU is in normal level (about 70-80 degrees).

The only other thing I can think that might be an issue is whether or not the cpu and gpu heatsinks have any thermal interface material (tim) under them to melt and meld with the cpu protective cover. I've read of instances where some computer reviewers have opened up a retail computer system only to find tim missing from the under side of a cpu heatsink. So, that scenario is a possibility and you can only find out if that's the case by opening up your notebook. With the small form factor of that notebook, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the cpu has passive cooling by way of a small fan blowing air in the direction of the cpu's heatsink instead of being physically mounted to the heatsink due to space confinement.
If you choose to open up the notebook to see if the heatsink has any tim applied, it doesn't take much effort to determine if any is present. If there isn't any tim applied to the underside of the cpu heatsink, the heatsink should easily come off the cpu after you've removed any screws holding it in place if there are any present. If the heatsink resists being moved or lifted off the cpu "with a very light pull", don't force it and leave it alone. In that case, there is more than likely tim on the underside of the heatsink.
One other thing you might check is the notebook specsheets to see where the fans are placed if they are shown in a diagram. Maybe a fan isn't working that provides cooling air to the cpu heatsink. A fan blade could be stuck by colliding with something or there could be some debris in the way causing it to not work properly. Also, check the air flow vents to make sure they're not clogged with lint, hair, and fuzz.
Those are the only things I can think of for now to check.

Since a lot of notebook and laptop screens aren't much bigger than 15 or 17 inches (x number of centimeters), 1280 x 768 should look fantastic.
A non-widescreen 20" LCD monitor might be fine. From experience with a 20" LCD widescreen monitor, it seemed small, especially after upgrading from a 19" CRT monitor.LeDaniel wrote:My notebook/laptot has 1366x768 resolution, KA looks very good, but i prefer gaming on external LCD monitor 19 inches - 1280x1024. Sometime, i look on internet for 20 inches monitor with 1600x1200 resolution, not buy it yet. I found one for 1800 Kc / about 90 $ . 4:3 21 inches monitor cost new about 1000 $ , thats very expensive
I have ON 16 Aniso filtering and 32 CS antialiasing, models of ship and textures looks great.
Yesterday a i meet my friend, he has small common notebook with Core i3 and integrated Graphis Intel GMA. I Try to install and lounch KA. I was suprised, that on his graphic was active "PARTICLE EMMITERS" . I don´t see this effect from time, when i use GF 6800 in my old computer. I think on Nvidia GPU from GF 3 titanium to todays GTX 580, doesn´t support it.
