I finally won my first game of Stellaris a couple of days ago (before Galactic Paragons was released) and I took a few screenshots to prove to myself that I really did it. I used the F11 key just like the Interwebnets said to do and I even got the little message on my computer screen each time that said something like "Screenshot Taken" or some such words. The problem is I cannot find my screenshots anywhere on my harddrive. I've gone through every folder in the Stellaris directory, Steam directory, Steamapps directory, Users, etc. and cannot find them anywhere. I've searched online and found that MANY others have had this exact same problem but none of the solutions presented have worked for me. Following the steps they laid out have not found my screenshots.

I would just like to see the screenshots I took of the one and only game of Stellaris that I have won. So I can just sit and stare at them for a thousand hours or so. Maybe then I might want to play Stellaris again someday.

I appreciate any relevant help that is provided.

Thank you for your consideration.

it ... depends on what you use to take the sreenshots .. steam screenshots are easy to find , as MagnusDux said , you can find them in the game page , select them and go to the folder (right click the screenshot ) and you will find them .

If you open Stellaris on your steam library and scroll down you'll see your screenshots...
My Steam Library page for Stellaris doesn't look like what you've shown but I was able to find the little 'Screenshots' panel at the bottom lower right. It says that I have not taken any screenshots yet and also says that my screenshot key is F12 not F11. I used F11 to take my screenshots and even got the confirmation message on my computer screen each time that said that a screenshot had been taken.

I will be miffed if the screenshots I took are lost forever. It took me forever to finally win my first game of Stellaris. I am completely burned out on the game because of how much of a tedious and boring micromanagement nightmare it is. I have zero interest in playing it again for the foreseeable future. Those screenshots were my meager and paltry trophies for the thousands of hours I've put into this game.

But as General Chang said just before he died, "To be...or not...to be..."

Thank you VERY much for your assistance with this problem. Much obliged.
