Comments: If you save the images locally and switch between them quickly, you'll notice there's a diagonal slice from top left to bottom right that is missing, very odd.

PP ON - notice flippers and bottom area...

Post-Processing is busted at the moment. Hopefully it's going to be fixed before release.

Yeah noticed that today, with the latest beta as well. Also noticed tearing(?) across the screen that reminded me of v-synch tearing. Maybe that's what it is; but I hadn't noticed it post processing off

If it really is a vsync issue, there are several ways to remedy it:

1. force vsync in your graphics card options
2. make sure you are running TPA in true fullscreen mode
3. in Windows 7: in case you are running TPA in fullcreen-window or window mode, make sure you have the Windows theme set to an "aero template" and not classic or any custom colour scheme! This might sound weird, but I just yesterday finally got rid of a lot of vsync woes (playing 2D stuff and videos) by doing this change. I wasn't aware, but Windows 7 has a bug that disables desktop vsync on any themes that don't use the "aero" or "glass" look...

Was still broken in the latest beta, hope this is fixed on the release... :/
