Curse

So I was playing the Bog mission - and all of a sudden my screen goes all wavy, doing the drunken effect. I didn't press anything, and it stopped after I completed the mission.
I created a bunch of screenshots, made them into a flash animation of crappy quality, but you can see the movement.

Any ideas?

You talked to One-Eyed Rugger during the mission, who gives you a strong brew.
(0 drunkard points, lasts rest of the mission)

I never SPOKE to him (as in take actions that would cause his dialogue to pop up). I might have clicked on him, BUT moved away before actually talking to him.
Also the blur effect started happening when the stampede started and not when I was around him.
But I do hope something went wrong and the blur was the result of that.

Thanks for the idea!

Well if it's gone after you mapped, it's drunken effect =).

Frying your graphic card most of the time makes it unreadable, and also applies to the rest of your windows.

if you clicked on him, you got the effect. Let me guess, it went away after you completed the mission?

Maybe when you clicked him, you lagged, and when you clicked away it was too late for the game to register you clicked away, and you talked to him.

This should be in game bugs.

Except, of course, it isn't a bug.

What we have here is a laggy Rugger bugger.

Probably.

If these symptoms reoccur, send me a PM and I'll re-open the thread.
