Can't handle the odd resolution?

Could be. The color artifacts are especially interesting.

Note that the line between the two parts appears to have a 2/3 slope. That and the look suggest pure 24-bit RGB is used and that it skips 2 bytes too few per line. That's what broken 4-byte alignment could do, so try a res that's a multiple of 4 (the smallest positive number where pixel and 4-byte alignment line up) horizontally. Larger powers of two can help if alignment is more extreme, I think up to 8 in this case.

Reminds me of the floor on my last laptop. The grid never looked so psychedelic before or since. There was some shattered glass action on the cieling as well. Sadly I don't have the computer anymore and don't have screen shots.

Some things the renderer might not like:
- Perspective correction
- Infinite surfaces
I have yet to see severe problems with either in practice, but I can imagine the mess. Wow.

Well, all my other screenshots are normal.

Wait, it's just the screenshot that's messed up and it looked fine on your screen?

If I got all the results that would be great too.

Anyways:

Yea, everything was normal on the screen when I took it. It was only when I opened the file that I noticed that.
