Introduction
I really wanted to find out how to upload screenshots when the F12 for screenshots function was missing. I also noticed people had screenshots in the screenshots tab in the community hub but didnt really explain how. After some experimentation and some youtube videos that where almost correct I found it, hurray! time to upload people!
Uploading screenshots
For the purpose of this guide, this is the picture we want to upload without F12 & Steam overlay


To do this first you need to find another screenshot that you have on steam, like in my case Deadpool .
Click "View" in the top left cornerof steam, click "Screenshots", choose a game and click "Show on disk"


Depending on the game the numbers at the top address may vary, but you should have a similar screen.

Click the "remote" tab, here there will be alot of files with numbers, these are game app ID's. You need to add the game app ID of Panzer Corps to this folder, this can be seen on the storepage or community hub.
I allready did that, the app ID is 268400 now make a new file with that name, and inside make a "screenshots" folder and a "thumbnails" folder inside the screenshots folder.

C:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\46555454\760\remote\268400\screenshots
This is how my pathway looked like.

Now go play the game and take the screencap you want, in this case the Afrika Korps background.
Save it as a .jpg file ( for example use printscreen button and paste into paint and save as 123.jpg)
Finally paste the desiered screenshot into the "screenshots" folder and "thumbnails" folder, restart steam and relog.


Go back into Screenshots and wham, the screenshots should be there under "Panzer Corps" ready to be uploaded!

Final comments
Now you can go crazy with screenshots in Panzer Corps too! , this way you can even edit screenshots before you add them to steam.

Take care have fun and I really hope this guide helped you out.

So there really is no way to make this game work with the Steam overlay and capture screenshots normally?...

Wouldn't have bought if I knew this was the case. I saw screenshots on the Steam hub and thought it was working normally...

That's an absurd amount of work.

yes you can upload as artwork, however some people like to use screenshots, now you can do both xD

Or you can go to the artwork tab and press upload picture from disk. I did that and is easier since you dont have to trick around folders.
You can upload png and have only 1 copy of the picture. You can even have only 1 file that you overwrite/upload each time you take a picture.
