Looks like a bug in how the graphics card access certain textures in the graphics memory. If it's within our game, XNA or your drivers is hard to tell (as I probably will never be able to repeat this) but just the fact that you alt+tabbed out of the game (which we pretty much doesn't support) tells me you need to restart the game. Because we do not render jumbled sprited like that when writing text.

Hmm... What's up with renderTargets for you? It looks like the graphics drivers messes up the memory together with XNA or something. I promise you - we do not render those random sprites to that text renderTarget :) Somethings sheeiit is going on here beyond our scope.

I think I will just reset those renderTargets each time the scoreboard is opened to hopefully discard any faulty renderTargets like you show on the pictures. That's about what I will do and hope it solves this sheeiit. :)

Yes this has happened to be a LOT since the last update. When looking at the scoreboard where the players name is supposed to be ,some purple and mix of colours(mostly purple ) show up not the name.it looks like someone hacked my scoreboard but the wins losses stay the same. Il try to find a pic if I can.

I get the same problem but no images have popped up for me, it has just been a blank space with no name in it.

Also Gurt, I think that bug where the scoreboard would not count the first victory when you join a server (even if you join before the round begins) is back. Sorry for posting it here, but just wanna let you know, maybe it will fix itself with this topic's bug.

Forcing a reset on those long name labels to the next update (after Pre-Alpha 1.9.2b).
