    Bug with F5 and F6 taking solid black/blank screenshots: Started after updating to the latest prebuild

    System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

    Proc: AMD Phenom X6 3.2ghz

    Ram: 16gb

    V-Card: Radeon HD 7500 series

    Troubleshooting Done:

    Three Fresh installs. Saving only Blueprints

    Updated Video Driver

    uninstalled then reinstalled Java SDK

    Set to disable desktop composition

    Set to disable visual themes

    Tried compatibility mode for Windows XP sp3 as well as Vista

    Tried Catalyst control center setting anistropic filtering as well as a Variety of other graphics settings

    Set compatibility mode for Javaw.exe

    Tried disabling desktop composition and visual themes on Javaw.exe

    Compared Ingame Graphics settings to .cfg settings looking for discrepancies

    Ran Malwarebyte , Avast, Spybot Search and destroy

    The above came back all clean except for a program that may have installed with dropbox called Browserfox. However the problem did not start when Dropbox was installed so it is unlikely to be the culprit.

    next day deleted starmade folder and did virgin update (same issue still going)

    Deleted Starmade-starter.exe as well as starmade folder = issue solved at this point

    Verified by resetting server.cfg as well as prefered graphics settings (all maxed out)

    Took several test screen shots while resetting settings to verify that none of them were involved in the issue.

    Conclusion = only one I can come up with is that something in Starmade-starter.exe broke with the latest update. However I cannot confirm this. Only that Deleting Starmade-starter.exe is what finally fixed the issue
