Darksiders trigger screenshots problem

Mon May 18, 2015 12:02 pm

In Darksiders, if you use a controller, it disables any keyboard input while playing. I cannot even Alt+Tab or anything from the game.

I tested to record a video with Action!. Starting it before I start the game and it recorded the whole session just fine.
Is there another way to trigger a screenshot? Or do you guys know any workarounds?

My default screenshot key is multiply(*) on the NumPad.

You can use PrtScn in the game, end the game, open paint and then paste the clipbrd content. I tried setting PrtScn as my screenshot button for Action, it works as long as the game isn't started and then it stops.

OS: Windows 7
Video Card: AMD
Memory: 32 GB
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Video Editor: ?!?
Game Problem: Darksiders
Video Type: png

p.s. this is the GOG version (no SteamClient-Overlay thingy).

Mouse input seems to be active while playing, but I cannot assign hotkeys for it in Action! to make screenshots in the settings menu. If I assign a keystroke like Num* to my mouse button, it doesn't work either since it is a keyboard input.
Added support for extended mouse keys as hotkeys
It states this for version 1.12.x https://mirillis.com/en/products/action_history.html

And yeah, in The Witcher3 it automatically detects input devices.

In order to make a screenshot, I have to release the controller, hit any key on the keyboard (the input scheme changes), hit the screenshot key, do something on the controller (the input scheme changes), fight on -.-

I found a workaround using a foot pedal :)
Now I can play using the controller and take screenshots or start recording with the pedal.

You are my hero! It's far the most impressive workaround that has been posted here around the forums!
