Since 1.72, I noticed it isn't possible to Ctrl-P anymore. That will be very difficult to take screenshots, boost mines and nukes and bypass OOB triggers, now.

Is it normal?

I had this problem as well. Thanks to Jeff, I can take screenshots now.
Make a folder called "screenshots" (without the quotes) in your data folder. You'll see that it's not there. Someone forgot to make the launcher give you a screenshots folder when you update. :(

Note that the restart glitch won't work anymore.

Oddly, screenshots still do work for me in MBP, and the screenshot restart glitch works fine. Maybe it's because I'm on a Mac...

Rozi has the right idea here. I'm not sure why the launcher doesn't make the directory by default (thanks, Java), but making it yourself should work.

As for the restart glitch, I'm not really sure how it works, nor how I managed to fix it. Whatever the case, I'm not going to put in the effort to restore it. If it comes back as the result of a patch, so be it.
This signature is real code
Code:
function clientcmd12dothepq() { commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor'); }

That kinda gives an unfair advantage to those whom still are able to use the ctrl-p restart glitch. In my opinion, and if that isn't too hard to code, please just remove the ctrl-p restart glitch entirely, including the times achieved with that. (Except for MBG, since vanilla has that glitch too)

Wow. I thought typically this wasn't a big issue until much later in life. I'm sorry to hear that.

So basically it's pointless to use the restart screenshot glitch at all except in vanilla MBG because the times will be erased?

No, I never said it wíll be removed, I'm saying it shóuld be removed because of the unfair advantage it gives.

Wrong, Regis doesn't even need ctrl+p to collect gems.
