I think the universe is trying to tell you something.

Just you, as far as I know. Does it happen on every giveaway?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes. And only on SG. I was hoping that it's SG problem, but now i'm in panic. My last graphic card died less than month ago. I wont survive this stress again )

So THAT'S what spacecats been using as a scratching post.

That's how you win a game... space cat scratches and the game revealed is the game you won :P

Try force-reloading a giveaway page to see if that helps - Ctrl-F5 on a Windows box, and I think it's Splat-Shift and then R on a Mac. If there's a corrupted image stuck in your cache, that may clear it.

Looks like a graphics card issue. I'd try some burn-in test software like OCCTPT to check for errors.

I've never seen a graphic card issue that only affected specific images, and not others- is that a thing?
seems more likely a hard drive, processor, motherboard, or network issue, perhaps?

I've had that happen to an old laptop of mine, turned out to be defective memory on the graphics card... only specific colors or images seemed to be affected.
Is your card an AMD one? Some have been having issues with the latest drivers.

How unusual.
Though the OP said they'd just swapped their graphics card, so I'm still leaning toward it being a motherboard issue- I've seen a lot of computers with dying motherboards get that sort of visual distortion, though admittedly never quite that specific in focus.

Looks like the OP has a portion of their VRAM which is corrupt, I've seen this before, you only get the artifacts when the GPU tries to use that portion of the VRAM.

Well, that makes sense, that's functionally what happens with using corrupt portions of RAM.
Yeah, that'd probably be it, then. :)

and btw, SG looks normal now. (cleared browser cache and that's it...)

Is it the same pattern of colors/positions every time or does it change ? Install "Heaven Benchmark 4.0" or a similar software and test your GPU a bit, it might be faulty. Also I don't know software stuff, but if it only happens on webpages (or only SG) check your Flash Player or whatever this site uses. I once had weird glitches on a website and it turned out to be a corrupt software.

i think you have won whole of steamgifts.... that the only reason why you are getting space like background.. but where is "cat" though

It could be a video card thing or just could be something else,like actual ram...
I would do a mem test and test the video card to be safe,or play a game that uses a lot of the Vram if it is the card it should show in any game that uses most or all of it,or stress the video card..
It could be a driver conflict or something also...
I mean i get random artifacts in GTA V yet no other game i get them,and it is at random times and does not always happen,so chalk it up to either the game itself or just flaky drivers.
Anyhow good luck with finding out what it might be if anything.

Id you have chipset as well, it might collide.
Remove your gpu and check again to isolate the problem.
Also, go to device manager and disable the chipset.

Just to make it clear. Do what i suggest separately... Don't do both at the same time

did you trying using a sg skin?
maybe the issue will not show with a different background.
