I can’t get my F12 button to work. I have checked setting on steam and it shows F12 for it. I have actually changed the button but with no luck. I have tried different keyboards also with no luck. I was working but now it isn’t.

1.F12 button not working on my end
2.I have changed the button with no luck

Try to switch steam beta versions. sometimes after steam updates some games does not take game with steam overlay… for me its same as u say with Red dead 2… but sadly there is no fix for that… just hope that steam will fix it someday…
Yes apparently some how my over lay was turned off and once I turned it back on. I could take pictures again. Thank you all for the help means a lot to me
Apparently, some portions of that directory path are variables and as a result may differ between machines. A Steam user can find his screencaps folder by opening Steam, selecting the View drop-down menu, and clicking the Screenshots option. This opens a new window with the thumbnails and at the bottom is a button for Show on Disk. Clicking Show on Disk will open the directory containing your compressed screencaps.
There is another option that I discovered in this Steam thread which is the solution I personally was looking for. I had never tried to take screencaps through the Steam overlay until a few hours ago, so I have spent the last few minutes trying to figure out why I couldn’t find my pics. In Steam settings, there is a checkbox to save an uncompressed copy of your screencaps. If that checkbox is ticked, then a .png file will be created for each screencap in the the folder of your choice. This essentially creates 2 files on your PC for each screencap, but one set is compressed and difficult to find. The other set is uncompressed high quality and is located exactly where you told Steam to put it.
Yes man, i am empty space, just wasted time by telling him about overlay when some guy just says turn it on and its answer … Now i feel bad manny thanks !
Basic solution - go to steam settings and check out if overlay is working with game , some games just don’t use overlay by default sometime…
I don’t know for sure, as I stopped digging once I found the solution that I was looking for. But now you’ve got me curious and I’ll probably want to see if I can find the answer
After a preliminary search, it appears there’s no legitimate way to change it, but I did find a workaround posted a few years ago that uses symbolic links if you want to take that route.
@Hugo since this has been determined to be a Steam issue and not a Funcom issue, I make a motion this thread get moved to General Discussions or Players Helping Players.
