[Bug] Strange bug

[DaveUKR]

I don't know how this happened, but my client kept making such images on my screen from time to time until I've restarted the game.

Log says anything interesting?

This happened to me once, but with the standard client.

Happened to me couple of times, ages ago. Has something to do with VRAM, I think.

My uneducated guess would be GFX card overheating. At least I get similar things in many different games/3d applications, usually closing/restarting helps for me.

This is what it appears to be to me as well, you'll usually see an explosion of artifacts when your video card starts overheating or dying. I have also seen this happen in the native client on a healthy PC with no heat issues, but it was an extremely rare occurrence.

The matrix is out to get you.

You should buy those small heatsinks for VRAM if your card doesn't have them. GPU rarely dies, it's always VRAM.
