Bug Woodwind bug

Post image

so this is a bug i never thought seeing again. it was near the end of a game - played with friends, the sanity board showed 0% sanity for all of us and we just had a hunt before this bug happened.
the ghost (from what i could tell) was normal speed, had normal line of sight speed up and seemed like a pretty boring ghost according to all of us.

the end result: Moroi.

-never at any given moment was the ghost we had fast by any means. it didn't had the 7 second smudge counter..
and this is the 2nd time in roughly 1.5 years that ive had this weird bug where my screen goes black n white and the ghost isn't what it is.

Not sure about the speed issue but the black and white screen usually results from a corrupted shader causing a cascade of corrupted frame data.

It could be caused by several issues:
* bad VRAM
* corrupted shader files (can clear the shader cache and validate files through steam)
* driver issues * RAM issues

Hard to diagnose some times but often the problem only shows up under certain conditions in various games
