crash on screenshot workaround

guildwars seems to make use of some windows lib to take screenshots in jpg format (which is the default). unfortunately wine/crossover does not seem to implement this lib, which results in a crash. starting the game with -bmp comand line switch makes the game capture screens in bmp format, which does not crash.

Excellent! Works great for me.

Thanks.

This may be improved in our next release of CrossOver Games. We've added a needed JPEG library.

In the meantime, on the Mac, you can take a screenshot with Command-Shift-3 (configurable in System Preferences).

good to know the jpeg lib is on the way :) anyway this trick is still useful if you want to take:

  • lossless screens
  • hud-less screens (which the game screenshot option allows)
