Argh! That kind of very small bugs make mad! May have something to do with the fact that im kind of an perfectionist...
Can't you just play in full screen mode until the new version comes?

I am doing. :)

Meanwhile, the more serious bugs I've posted in my other topic are far more pressing.

Well, its good that you inform about bugs then ;)

I have seen that kind of bugs in many other games, but that is mostly after you switch resoultion or press alt-tab.

I have not yet discovered any bugs in my PC verson of BoA, but im gona play it alot, so I might find something...

Hmm, didn't get that error while i was testing it, what are your computer setups like? other then OS, what type of vid card, etc do you have? I'm sure its being looked at by Jeff, i would guess he hears about these problems soon after they appear in the forum, and it'll probably be fixed in the next update.

I may come across sounding more official then I actually am. Or not.

Some crap integrated chipset for video (I don't even HAVE a graphics card, I put one in and the motherboard said "Get the hell out." about a week later.)

120MB RAM.
Running AIM (official client) at the time, sometimes HydraIRC and MSN.

ok, just got the installer for BoA and tested it out on my 98SE (crap onboard graphics driver thing too) and XP machines and can't seem to reproduce the error.

If you can zip up a save file with the error and send it over (flake_im@hotmail.com) I can have a look, or you can send an email to Jeff. or leave it.

I think it may only occur when you've been alt+tabbing and playing for a while.

...and playing for a while? ok...gives me an excuse to play with it a while longer.

but you know what really turns you off a game? when you've been beta testing it for 1-2 hours every day for 1 and a half months, and then it is released...and you kinda go.... :P can't be bothered. I'm already sick of it.

but yeah, if anyone has a saved game of the error, then send it over. or post a link.

The graphical glitch isn't something that saves.

duh. it could have been. I was hoping that it would be easy and could be shown by a saved game. the easiest way to fix something is if you can see it happening right in front of your face. so it doesn't save. it stays there, or does it go away when you resize the screen. I'm not sure how it can be fixed if it can't be reproduced.

I know what I can do, fallen_avatar. :)
However, he's already taken notice of another bug-report on this forum by me, so he'll probably notice this one.

Does anybody else experience this once in a while?

I thought it was my own fault when it first appeared , because I changed the resolution while the game was running. But even with a new game it appears in random frequencies.

Yeah. It happens, and while annoying, it's not a big deal.
