    As the title suggests, when I click with the left mouse button in the photo editor, I can't find the image saved in the "\Documents\Automobilista 2\screenshots" folder. It is very strange because just purchased (a long time ago) it worked. I haven't used AMS2 for a long time, I only got it back these days and I discovered this problem. Some idea?

    Mine are stored in C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\Automobilista 2\screenshots\
    Perhaps button assign problem when not saved?
    Normally I take my screenshots with Steam (Hide UI en take snapshot).

    I don't think there is any key to assign. If I click the button to take the photo, I hear the shutter sound but the file is not saved to that folder. I don't know what to think, initially (almost a year ago) it worked regularly, today it doesn't anymore. Was it an update that broke the functionality? I don't know what else could have happened.

    The functionality isn't broken for me.
    My in game photo knob is the left mouse button and working.
    I think you should trouble-shoot your system, Validate game files or perhaps try running AMS2 with administrator rights.

    Game files validated, game launched with adm rights, Automobilista 2 folder deleted in Documents folder, still have the issue.

    I'm out of options, you still can take screenshots by hiding the hud and use steam-

    Sure, I know, in fact I'm doing this. But I wanted to understand what could be the cause of this problem, it seems that I am the only one to have it.

    You're not, I just had the same experience while using photo mode. Took three shots, exited game, nothing in the screenshots folder.
