Graphics Glitch - Polygons Everywhere

[Space Guy]

While I was in Spation's server (Spation, Randy, Jeremy and Jervan's RPG [WIP]) I was busy building a 'net' for the basketball court. Someone called "Blacky" joined the server. As soon as he spawned, my PC went mad - every brick distorted randomly, faces gone or stretched to infinity. My chat box also had the same sort of glitch I sometimes get where every letter past a certain point turns into unreadable mess. Noone else on the server could see this, except for me. Anything like it happened to other people?

Log of near where it happened; a distorted wall

Complex bricks and Undulo bricks looked very strange. Note the 'net' has a hole in it - none when I was building.

this happened to me once,  I just restarted blockland and it went away.  I dont think that there is any correlation between blacky and what happened

They're called artifacts, it means that your graphics card is fried.

Lol pwned :P Good old geek :P He is so wise :D

[Spation]

If it is his graphics card why is it only affecting the game and not his whole screen?

[Spartan300]

probably because it requires minimal power to keep the screen perfect?

I would vebture to say that as well.

Gone now - it was just a one-time glitch which happened as Blacky spawned.

It has done this is to me a couple times and my graphics card is liek so new I'd get the warranty and get the $300 version for free.

It's not a glitch; It's a feature!

This happends every once in a while, it goes away as you play though.

Because there's a difference between 2D rendering and 3D rendering. Different parts of your graphics card are responsible for that.

[Spation]

Oh, well atleast I know...
