I had set my graphics to medium, just to see what the game looks like at that setting, but when I restarted the computer the start screen was glitchie, and by that I mean it was vaguely recognizable, but with little multi colored lines much like when you turn your TV to a channel you don't have.
I pushed the "print screen" button on my keyboard, but it does not seem to capture a screenshot of this, can anyone tell me how such would be possible?
The game works vary well all "high" video quality though.
Debug here.
