Extremely weird graphics bug

Oct 28, 2006 slime73 link
Ok, so I was doing Border Skirmish in Deneb B-12, and decided to take some screenshots, so I turned up my Video settings. To my surprise, this happened: http://server6.theimagehosting.com/image.php?img=dump0005.jpg

I then proceded to turn my settings in the Graphics options to maximum, thinking that might solve the weird texture problem.
I was wrong, of course, and this is what happened next:

http://server6.theimagehosting.com/image.php?img=dump0016.jpg
http://server6.theimagehosting.com/image.php?img=dump0017.jpg

Restarting the client fixed the problem.

If you're on Linux using nvidia, blame the drivers. They sometimes have texture corruption issues.

OMG, John. They've discovered the hologram and know "The Island" isn't real... We must destroy all deltas!

OSX doesn't handle not having enough videl memory very well. Since you only have a 32meg video card and tried to use maximum quality, bad things happened. I've noticed that different bad things happen depending on what video card is used.
