Since I'm not sure if the other thread in the Guildhall will be noticed by the Devs, I thought I'd best create one in the Beta forum too - for more information on the glitch just check the original thread by cover_your_eyes here.
For a quick overview, this is what the bug looks like in DX9, and it seems to happen randomly, even while speccing:
And sometimes its even worse:
Stuff I noticed:
I already posted my "personal" version of this bug around the bottom of page 1 on that thread, but after switching to DirectX7, everything looks similar to the first screenshots (flashing artifacts when you look in a specific direction) in the original thread...but while alt-tabbing helped to get rid of the glitch in DirectX9, it doesn't seem to clear the screen in DX7 for me any longer which makes the bug even more annoying.
It also seems to happen with both ATI and nVidea Graphic cards, and the fact that alt-tabbing helped clearing the bug in DX9 makes it unlikely its merely an issue with overheating. If you have any more information on the bug or more screens, please post it here so we can gather some information on it.

Stuff I noticed:
- Can appear while spectating too
- sometimes directional, though in some cases nothing but alt-tabbing (or waiting it out) seems to help
- removes the symbol that shows which weapon was used to kill somebody
- slightly changes text colors of kill messages?
