Problem Screen saver causing graphical glitch

[Blargen]

I had just launched the Atlantis and got into orbit, I walked away from my computer for a bit and my screen saver had come on. I put in my password and went back to orbiter to find that most of the spacecraft was not being shown. The fuselage and wings to be precise...

woooow !
it's weird .. i'll try that glitch
was your screensaver animated? or just a Picture?

 

[Blargen]

Animated. Its just called plasma. It was free and is quite cool. I dont know if any old screensaver will make it glitch or not...

A screensaver called plasma melted your shuttle? Are you claiming on the insurance?

I haven't ever seen this kind of glitch, but really I don't do screensavers any more - just set the screen's powersave timeout to around 5 minutes. It saves power, and I'm not watching when the thing's idle, so, why bother?

It has quite unexpected results some times. Look how iss is misconboggled while the vanguard stays intact.
