i freaked out when i ran into this bug, and thought my production pipeline for outdoor environments was killed and required a rollback to 4.16.
i was extremely wrong.
thanks to @ZacD in the response below, i took this as an opportunity to check out Ansel.

problem solved, and now we can grab ridiculously large screenshots with all the foliage / HISMC’s

The High Resolution Screenshot tool has enough bugs and issues I never use it. I’d recommend using Nvidia DSR or the AMD equivalent to set your monitor to 4k or higher and grabbing a normal screen shot that way, or messing with Ansel.

hadn’t considered these options, and haven’t had a chance to check out Ansel. this seems like the perfect opportunity. thanks!
