Why does google do this every so often?

[Nituvious]

I downloaded a game from applications forum from here several hours ago and suddenly pictures of the games screen appeared on google's site. I tried refreshing the browser and it didn't change anything, nor did resizing.

It's like this on the front page too.

Most likely a memory problem, I've had similar things happen once in a while.

That's my game!

No idea what would cause that... does it only happen in Chrome?

[Seymour Clufley]

If it's Chrome you're talking about, they just introduced some new hardware acceleration for graphics. I don't know. It might be connected with this.

Yep... either a bug in the browser you are using, or some weird bug in the game. Hard to say without having some way to track what is happening with memory

[kenmo]

Definitely the browser... that game image is the one I posted in these forums.

Unless PB has some sprite video-memory bug, I don't think that's related to the game executable itself.

It is a bug in google chrome if the texture of your game is used by chrome. Most often its just a clearing bug (it should clear the screen before drawing on it, because the old framebuffer of your game is used). Or if it is a harder bug: they don't check whether loading the texturedata into the gpu was successful and use your textures instead which aren't freed, yet (graphicscard frees it just when it wants to, you don't have any influence on this).

You could get much money for a exploit if you find it.
