Screenshot hotkey for Oculus Rift users

Love the game, though it’s been bothering me that I can’t make a proper screenshot using Oculus Rift (the headset itself doesn’t have a shortcut for it). Would it be possible to have some sort of built-in way (a combination) for the game to make screenshots? :slight_smile:

I would really like built-in support too.

Until that happens we just have to get creative I think. Here’s what I’ve done, maybe it can inspire others:

Use an autohotkey script to maximize the orbus window and take a screenshot. Then use x-mouse button control to have the middle mouse button activate the script. Use a tiny ~$5 wireless mouse that can easily be attached to clothing/headset/whatever.

Wow that’s super-creative… when screenshotting I mostly walk up to the pc, then recenter view, then do my screenshot with the prnt-key ;), but yea it is a big fuzz, adjusting or saving it is pia too and due to all that I don’t screenshot too often.

I use Oculus Rift Core 2.0 to access the snipping tool, and take a window snip of the game. Can be tricky though, as game controls aren’t disabled while Core is active.

Edit: I’ve read that if you’re running SteamVR that you can hold the left menu button and then hold the left trigger and Steam will take one.

I usually use Voice Attack, so I can use voice command to take screenshot, though it’s not the most reliable way of doing it

I take my headset off, hold it with my finger over the sensor inside so it puts the screen back on and then aim it with hand and press printscreen button on my keyboard, its annoying but it works
