Elite Dangerous Screenshot Location, Key Bindings File

Elite Dangerous is a video game that was released in December 2014 for a variety of platforms, including PS4, Xbox One, and Windows. The game was developed by Frontier Developments, who are also known for being the company behind Jurassic World Evolution, Zoo Tycoon, and many other titles.

The game is a space flight simulator, which as you might've guessed, means the game is set in space, and will involve a lot of flying spaceships. Starting out with a modest spaceship inside a massive open galaxy, and it's up to you what you want to do. The main tasks that you'll undertake in order to progress include trading, mining, among many others.

Taking a screenshot in Elite Dangerous is by no means a complicated process, all you've gotta' do is press the F10 key on your keyboard. To take a high resolution screenshot (only works in some modes, such as Solo Mode), press ALT + F10. Once you've snapped that shot, it goes into a folder on your computer. Where that folder is located depends on your operating system, find help for your operating system below:

If that folder doesn't exist, or there are no screenshots in it (or it's missing screenshots), chances are, you've been taking Steam screenshots.
