Missing Starfield photo gallery (lemmy.ml)

I'm guessing the answer is "no", but has anyone else found the in-game pics you can take? The function works in that it makes the camera shutter sound and you can manipulate the various settings using the photo mode. But the photo gallery (accessible from pause menu) is empty and I can't find anywhere on my system that they might be stored. I made sure to check the Steam Local install folder as well as the Proton version of the "C" drive. Windows version stores it in Documents/MyGames/Textures and I don't have a MyGames under the C:\Users\Steamuser section.

Shame if it doesn't work, despite the game being pretty mediocre, I've found some cool potential for new wallpapers.

I'm having the exact same issue! Game works perfectly on Linux (ignoring the actual game's bugs) but photo mode doesn't actually save the photos.

I'm guessing it's to do with just how Proton (Wine) works, and the game struggling with that even under the gise of translation. For the time being I just hide the UI and take a normal screenshot (F12) then if I'm using it as a wallpaper I crop it down; there are usually black bars either side of the image since I use a 21:9 monitor.

Good point. I forgot you can hide the camera UI.

There's a console command to hide it outside of photo mode too, I can't recall it off the top of my head but could come in useful.
