Predominantly the above,
In sandbox and other modes, f12 is only a single screenshot, but Helix unusually takes two instead.
There seems to be a little freeze up in performance at times when a screenshot is taken, but nothing too noticable.

This is not really a new issue for me, has occured on HL2RP and WW3RP, although now I've got a higher resolution display, it's a more prominent issue.

Curious if anyone's had this before.

ive never had that issue on helix before, or on any steam game in general. these are the fixes I googled that other people used for steam games;


change the screenshot key to something else

do you have a controller plugged in

disable steam overlay and re-enable it

check the screenshots folder and see if its actually taking 2 screenshots or even more than 2

take a screenshot, end the steam process and restart, see if it keeps happening

I've had this issue too. I think it's caused by having two keybinds for F12.

One is the steam overlay taking the screenshot, the other one is gmod itself keybinding F12 for screenshots in your options > keyboard

That caught it, thanks Boots!
Don't know why it was only helix and not the others, but hey, it's fixed
