v3.50 beta 2. Windows7 64 bit SP1. Videocard: GF GTX470
***
Capture the screen with extraneous software (Fraps, SnagIt) in the game is incorrect. Can shoot anything just not what i need. Normally be obtained only through push "E"

In-game screen screen shots by means of pressing 'E' are supported, nothing else is.

"Not supported" does not mean "does not work". There surely are software (and possibly hardware) combinations which will work fine. And it's fine to discuss this here. I'm just saying that MegaGlest does not support specific external third party screen/video capturing software.

That said, gnome-screenshot and gtk-recordMyDesktop worked/works well for me on Ubuntu 10.04 to 11.04.
