If you now open Steam Screenshot Uploader ( View → Screenshots) and choose Half-Life: Alyx from the dropdown list, you will see your screenshots. Shutdown Steam, copy your screenshots to that folder ( perhaps also remove the -chopped suffix from their filenames) and launch Steam again. In case of Half-Life: Alyx it’s this one: \path\to\Steam\userdata\ID\760\remote\546560\screenshots. You need to find the folder, where Steam looks for the game screenshots. Such a batch renaming can be done, for example, with the Multi-Rename Tool from Total Commander: Uploading screenshots to Steam I hope you are using a proper shell, like Git BASH, and not the standard cmd.exe.īut before running that, I also decided to rename the screenshot files, as they contained spaces and brackets. *.jpg do magick convert "$f" -chop 1440x0 "$-chopped.jpg" done There are even several ways of doing so, and I went with the chop operator: And surely enough ImageMagick can do that. Now, it’s not difficult at all to crop an image with any graphics editor, but I had 45 screenshots, so I needed some tool that could do that automatically for a batch. Obviously, we want to keep only one half, and I decided to keep the right one. Cropping half of the image pairĪs you can also see, the screenshot is comprised by two views - one per eye. The version has those borders smoothed into a nice round shape, though it also has a lower resolution. ![]() One with prefix ( 4032x2380):Īnd another with prefix ( 2880x1700):Īs you can see, while version has higher resolution, it also has ugly black borders. If you go to that folder, you’ll discover that for every screenshot it actually creates two files. You can then open VIVE Console settings and find the folder with taken screenshots ( C:\Users\YOUR-NAME\AppData\Roaming\HTC\Vive\Screenshot): You can take those with right controller by pressing trigger and VIVE button. I was using HTC VIVE Cosmos headset, so my other option was VIVE Console screenshots. Though I have a suspicion that it should possible to bind F12 action to some VR controller combination.Įither way, I couldn’t make Steam Overlay screenshots work in my VR. So, unless you have someone to press keyboard buttons for you, triggering screenshot capture right from VR controller would be much better, especially when you are holding a crate full of grenades. Plus, taking screenshots like this is less convenient and often ruins the composition. I could make regular PrtScn screenshots of desktop mirror view too, but sadly my PC is not powerful enough to handle both VR and mirror view at the same time. I can see in the Steam gallery that people were able to upload “normal” screenshots just fine, although some of those are actually screenshots of a desktop mirror view. ![]() I am not quite sure why F12 did not work for me. I did enable Steam Overlay, and actually F12 was making some screenshots at first, but they were some weird 1x1 pixel ones, and then it stopped making any screenshots at all. Taking a screenshot Steam Overlay and F12 And that is what I wanted to “document” with screenshots - how the contents of my containers were changing while I was progressing through the game, how I had at some point to switch from crate to bucket, then to bare hands and so on. Literally, you take a crate with both hands and you just carry it! I’ve been filling various containers with grenades, health syringes, access cards and other things and was carrying all that with me for the entire game length. One thing ( of many) that impressed me in the game was that while you are limited in the amount of stuff you can carry in your pockets, nobody stops you from putting stuff into a crate ( or a bucket) and drag that with you. Before Alyx I didn’t consider VR for anything serious, to me it was something like mobile gaming - a very silly and slightly entertaining thing, but now it is clear to me that VR is the future. Half-Life: Alyx is a tremendously amazing game, and I am telling you, it will be the point that separates VR into “before” and “after”. Annoying enough, screenshots made this way do not end up in Steam Screenshot Uploader, so I’ve spent quite some time till I found how can I add them there manually.Įssentially, the process consists of cropping half of VR screenshots, sorting them by setting their modification timestamp attribute and placing them to the right folder. To my surprise, standard F12 screenshot button did nothing, so I had to use the screenshotting functionality from the HTC VIVE software. I was playing Half-Life: Alyx and wanted to take some screenshots. ![]()
