    Disable Multithreaded Rendering (it is now enabled by default) in the video settings.
    The Three Storm Sharks, episode 8 released on january the 8th.

    My screenshots since the update aren’t being saved, even though I still get the message showing where the file was supposedly saved like before. I tried turning off multithreaded rendering but no change. I was hoping to take screenshots of my CP distributions before tomorrow. :frowning:

    Boy oh boy, I wish I'd known this before I took screenshots of my main's CP allocation last night.

    I thought I'd saved everything since I got the pop up, only to find nothing in that folder this morning.

    Turning off multithreaded rendering and restarting the game did work for me, but now I've got to remember my build on half a cup of coffee.

    At least reallocating my CP hasn’t been problematic so far. In the cases I don’t remember, I look up recommendations on Alcast, not that I copy everything, but it at least tells me what options have been found helpful for the class and role so I can consider whether they fit my playstyle. But I still want to get my screenshots working again; I believe I double-checked that I’d turned multithreaded rendering off but I’ll look again…

    Edit: Well, now it works! I thought that I restarted ESO after turning off multithreaded rendering but anyway, screenshots are again working for me now! 👍

    Have you disabled multithreaded rendering and restarted the game as mentioned above?
