CDW Screenshot Submission Contest

Lucas

Torn Banner is looking for the most spectacular screenshots from our community to help promote Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior. This is your chance to get your image featured on our Steam Store page, the Torn Banner Website, and other areas of the internet! Make sure to submit your screenshots as soon as possible, as we would love to have some user submitted images up before the Steam Winter Sale. We will be selecting screenshots from multiple users, and this will be an ongoing contest.

Some tips for taking awesome screenshots.

You can use Steam’s screenshot feature, but make sure to have it saving uncompressed copies of screenshots. Set the hotkey to something easily accessible while fighting.
You can toggle off all your hud elements with the ‘togglehud’ console command.
Images need to be at least 1600x900.
Do not modify the screenshot beyond cropping the image.
Try turning up your graphics settings before taking the screenshot. Increase your resolution and maximize the detail settings to assure that your shot is the best it can be! Even if your computer cannot support continuous play at these settings, you can always revert to your previous settings after you take your shot. (Screenshots of lower quality settings will not be accepted)
While we may accept a few thirdperson shots, Chivalry is primarily a first person game and screenshots from first person are very much preferred and are more likely to be chosen.
Submit only your best screenshots.
Make sure there is no profanity or otherwise questionable chat content onscreen before taking your shot. Screenshots that contain any questionable chat content will not be selected for display.
Try to be original.
Try to capture interesting compositions.

Your images must be uploaded to the screenshots section of the community hub on Steam in order to qualify. You may also post them in this thread to bring more attention to them.

Users who have their screenshots chosen will be rewarded with an exclusive Peasant Hat for Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.

I’ve been trying to get this question answered for weeks now, but are you guys still doing Facebook video features?

B4RK

Should the screenshots be taken from player perspective, or do spectator shots work just as well?

One of your bugs in the game means the steam overlay doesn’t work. Means you can’t take screenshots. And you can’t upload external screenshots to the chivalry hub.

Dude, have you tried checking that “Enable Steam Community In-game” is checked in game properties? I had to fill in that box myself for some reason when the game was released.

Its ticked and sometimes I can use the overlay. Other times it refuses to show up. 32bit and 64bit DW and MW. It just doesn’t allow me to do it most of the time.

Oh, okay. That’s a shame.

So I managed to get some. I don’t know why you will only take ones from the community hub as all the popular ones on there have the HUD on with the killfeed, chatbox and everything. And they are more funny pictures of weird ragdolls than actual screenshots to advertise the game with.

Its also very hard to take good screenshots in first person trying to get the action. I even moved the key from f12 and I still didn’t get great images. Again why does it have to be on the community hub? If you could send in any screenshot I could record an uncompressed 1080 video and just take frames out of it. Way easier and you get better pictures. I am admin on half the oceanic server but if I use the slomo command just to get good pictures the 50 other people on the server aren’t exactly gonna be happy.

Not the best but if you remove the community hub restriction I could get some way better ones. Also lacking in pirates and knights. And only two maps because everyone kept voting for the same two. Almost impossible to get a good first person screenshot.

I kinda like these screenshots I’ve taken. I had some better ones, but they are ruined by hud markers, chatboxes and shit.

Some more action-ish ones. Again very hard to capture.

Those ones was me using the blunderbuss in various stages of firing. The first one shows the powder going off in the pan. The second one is right before the shot comes out of the gun with 3 graphical bugs. Spartan on the left clothes clip through his armour, spartan on the right has no spine and the pirated fingers clip through the gun, and I missed. The last one was good but my target decided to stab the wall for no reason so he’s in a weird pose.

Also that’s 7 screenshots out of 78, the rest are bad. All first person ones. Really damn hard to get good shots. Please take away the steam communist hub restriction. You can get more awesomer screenshots.

Will upload these later to community hub. Had heaps better pictures on my old HDD but if we can only do steam screens then I’ll just put some of the ones I’ve taken over the year.
