I have recently gotten a fresh copy of the current CVS build and I have encountered an odd bug during start up a _totaly_ random bitmap is rendered in the center of the screen, so far these bitmaps are ones that shouldn't even be getting loaded like some random mod missle pof texture that I havn't seen for years but more over I can not tell were it is getting called from or were it came from, I just want people to tell me if this is in the current build or if I have somehow done something to cause this in the copy i have DLed, if no one else is getting it I will just recheckout and hope for the best

the video card is probably rednering from random locations in it's vram during startup... thus stale textures in the vram will be rendered

Maybe I should start posting threads whenever I make any modification to the code.

What you're seeing is the title loading screen; you probably have some PCX files in your directory which Freespace 2 is randomly choosing from to load. Since I figure the majority of FSers have their PCX files in either data directories or VPs, I figured it wouldn't be a problem. It's all done at FS2's start with "display_title_screen()"

so this isn't a bug, this is something you are working on,
well as long as it isn't something I have introduced
