    Weird bird picture glitch o_o;

    Was running around in West Sarutabaruta and this suddenly covered everything except for what's shown over it. I'm not too worried about why it happened but I wouldn't mind knowing why it looks like a bird. And is it from the game, or something else. Pretty odd to me.

    simple answer is that it's the skin of one of the birds that flies over the zone. You can see them periodically.

    Your video card is artifacting.

    Could be driver issue, dying video card, over heating, and other issues.

    If it was a one time thing, I wouldn't worry about it too much, unless it happens again (and by this, I don't mean specifically with a bird skin) but check your temperatures just to be safe.

    Happened again, but the screen being like that didn't last too long instead it was like this

    I checked the temperature, wasn't high at all. Drivers are up to date, and I got the card in November. It's a GTX 280 from EVGA and i'm running this on Windows XP sp3.

    Could it just be the wrong driver for the game? Hate to have this card get damaged at all.
