Cannot capture screen

[mmbah]

Greetings,

is there a way to disable the capture protection that prevents screenshots? No, I don't want to bypass it using a hotkey; I want to disable it.

The short answer, as far as I know, is no.

KJ added it as a layer of protection to prevent people from piggybacking on his software for their own automated programs (ZyHelper etc). It is frustrating, but understandable. I use a program that clicks skills as they come off cooldown but is independent of THud and just reads the in-game pixels for the skills, but that obviously does not work now. Have resorted to it just pressing the button every X number of seconds now instead, but it is better than playing the game without hud. There are threads where people were discussing ways to get their own program to read the pixels of the game with no relation to THud, but I have zero knowledge when it comes to programming, so no idea how it can be done if that is what you are looking for.

That's exactly the same scenario I'm in. It makes sense why it's there now, at least. I'll keep looking for a way to get the pixel colors directly from Diablo.... Thank you.

It took me a while to figure out why I couldn't screenshot my leaderboard displays at the end of rifts

If it's like this for a reason then I understand, but maybe in the future we could have more options for what we'd like to screenshot? Either way, I appreciate the work that goes into this
