The "freeze" may be due to the size of the screenshot, though, or possibly of having to compress them during the shot if you've got an older CPU. Raw BMP is always the quickest option, but then you'll have to convert them afterward to JPG or PNG.
A coagulated, gloomy thinking in the intelligence, as my major ego.
An antinomian theorem of behaviorism, in all of my thinkings.

But here's what was interesting. I was using Fraps (unregistered, so the only option is save to BMP) with F10 as the default screenshot key.
I'd hit F10, and the entire game would lock up for 30-40 seconds. If I do this in multiplayer games, I get timed out and kicked back to the lobby without any exp or HP.
But then I went into My DocumentsMy GamesHawkenHawkenGameScreenshotsWin32Console, and I found HUGE high-res screenshots. 5040x3150 - that's triple my native resolution of 1680x1050. And screenshots taken from inside the cockpit looked like this. (lol)
But, when I used behindview (before the update disabled all the console commands except stat fps) and took screenshots (with Fraps), this happened.
And I think I've figured out why. If F10 is the keybinding for screenshots in Hawken, then I think I've got it.
This is an entry in HawkenSystemSettings.ini:
Quote
BasedOn=SystemSettingsBucket5
SystemSettingsBucket5 is defined elsewhere in the .ini file and basically lays down the settings for Ultra graphics defaults. There's also SystemSettingsScreenshot defined and based off of SystemSettings (the first section), but I'm not sure which is being used as the settings. However, basically, the reason my game froze for about 45 seconds and the screenshots are insanely beautiful is because Hawken was being forced to max out the settings for the screenshot AND Fraps was taking a screenshot.
...oh. HawkenInput.ini lists F9 as bound to 'shot' and F10 bound to 'TiledShot 3 256'. That probably has something to do with it.

So, use F9. From the changes I made to HawkenSystemSettings.ini, it uses the [Screenshot] section. I changed the setting to use SystemSettingsBucket1 (low).

tiledshot is basically an Unreal Engine command for taking high-rez screenshots. It screws with HUD elements for it though (which is why generally shots with them will be disabled).
To be specific, the syntax is tiledshot <x> <y> where x is the multiplier of the current screen resolution (in this case, 3x) and y is the amount of "overlap" to ensure that the shots seamlessly stitch together - in this case, 128 pixels. It repeats taking the "slices" until the desired picture is fully taken, and then it obviously returns control to the player.
So yes. Don't Press F10. I would say "just delete the bind" but it's not going to matter when the beta ends in about 36 hours, eh? Unless they extend it due to all the connection issues folks are having...

So, handy tip, everyone. F9 = screenshot, F10 = rediculous poster shot that'll lag you.
