I was playing WC3 with AA on 8 and AF on 16 on my nvedia 7800GS AGP card and this is what happened when i pressed print screen.

Seems like WC3 really does not like being graphicly enhanced and taking screenshots using their standard system. But strangly the screenshot from the very same press of printscreen that was copied to global clip board was fine when pasted into paint shop pro and all the graphic enhancements were retained.

It overlaps the top quater of the screen every second line with the exception of some breaks at the top and the lines inbetween have a ghost image of the other side. This is even wose than the AA *4 where it only captures the top left quarter of the screen. Can someone with DX10 (a nvedia geforce 8800) tell me what happens with AA on 16 since by card only does 8 and I am interested to see how it will end up.

Note like I said the actual clip board copy is fine but the file generated by WC3 becomes distorted.

Also you can discuss this here if you wish and anything interesting you notice.

DAM the stupid image size limate, I can not submit them at the full 1280*1024 resolution and so you will not see the wierd effect that happened to the file WC3 generated.
