Screenshot freezes game briefly

[Italo_]

Well, If i take a screenshot in GTA SA my game freezes for like 5-6 seconds.
Only occurs with GTA SA, other games like CSGO have no SS lag whatsoever

It has to do with resolution and how samp is coded. Its not uncommon, fixing it takes either an increase in ram or decreasing your resolution. In other words, you need to decresse the ammount of data that the pc processes in comparison to what you have available

I have 8 RAM, i am pretty sure it's enough for GTA SA
my resolution is on 1920 x 1080 x 32 and it fits well.

You probably have tons of screenshots. One solution is to delete them, but you can also move your screenshots to a new folder.

I had that problem but it wasn't usual. Happened when I take the first screenshot/picture after launching the game. Still happens, rarely. when I shoot a picture from camera.

I think its a samp/gta sa issue but 5-6 is quite long
Freeze duration depends on your resolution. Bigger screenshot = longer time to save

ye whenever i get +2 secs freeze from ss, i move screens to another folder, then delete all screens in gta folder
i think this will fix it

I am using .asi called fastscreen and It takes your screen instantly and with no freeze and in a better quality; I have asked woot about it and he said It's allowed because It doesn't give you advantage over others.

The link is originally from UG-Base, but I re-uploaded it for you: https://www.upload.ee/files/7361866/fastscreen.asi.html

Place it on your GTA folder
