Hi everyone!

Previously there was a guide on how to take screenshots with or without the HUD, but the guide has gone missing.

So, I've decided to make a new guide on how to do it.

Note: For some reason, this doesn't work for DOW2 Vanilla and Chaos Rising. It will give you a screenshot with the HUD. Sorry guys. I don't know how to replicate this in Vanilla and CR.

DOW 2, till this day has amazing graphics and screenshots.

So, how does one do it?

You first hold Alt, it allows you to rotate the camera. Then click Backspace to reset the camera. Once you've moved your camera view to a position you are happy with, the next step is to..

Take Screenshot With Hud:
Ctrl + Prt Sc



Take Screenshot Without Hud:
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Prt Sc


Example:

After you take the screenshot, you can find your pictures in this filepath:
Example:
C:\Users\<Your User Name>\Documents\My Games\Dawn of War II - Retribution\Screenshots

Here are examples of some gorgeous screenshots without the HUD:













Note: You can take screenshots practically anywhere in the game like the screenshots below.

Example: This was taken with the mission with the Ork Convoy and Golden Bridges (Mission 4) during the mission introduction cinematics!


Note 2: However, in the case of Army Painter or Character Selection Screen for Campaign etc., you cannot remove the HUD if you use the "Take Screenshot Without Hud" method.

Examples:




Hope this helps, and enjoy your screenshots! =)
