after you took that print screen in first comment, were you able to go back to the game or you needed to terminate it as well?

I can continue the game and dont have grey screen when FA is active window/fullscreen. The problem is to access from outside. try taskmanager->processes->rightclick on FA->"bring to front" but this is something else

no issues with screenshots there

yes, but in my opinion i doesn't solve the root of the problem (for example i experience it not because i want to take a screenshot but because i want to alt+tab and do something else while i wait to have a full lobby) which happens only since last patch

OBS works brilliant for me even in fullscreen mode, but i never tryed to make screenshots with it xD.

Normal print screen screenshots don't work for me as well witch is annoying, so i have to use fraps...

Have you tried putting the game in windowed mode?

Are you forcing AA via drivers by any chance? FRAPS always works without hassle but you can only make 30 second recordings with the free version.
