So, I started playing 1.8. Either my game is corrupted, or 1.8 is crappy. Here are some screenshots. First, my beacon. Cool, huh? Let's look up just a hair. Hocus pocus. It vanished faster than a cat on bath night. Let's see some more. My torso, left arm, and my legs, became distorted when I pressed f5. It's awesome, I can now reach the top shelf at Home Depot. I'll try opening my inven- OH MY GOD. So apparently I am a necromorph from the 1999 installment of Dead Space or something. See those shadowy structures in the distance? Those are just a mirage, they spaz all over the place when you turn to look at them. More mirages. And THAT is why I do not like 1.8 full release. You make your older brother 1.8 Beta ashamed.
Your computer is possessed. Take out the motherboard and scrub it in the sink with steel wool and dish soap!
I read online that an electromagnet can fix graphical issues, so I am going to the store to buy one now.
Just reinstall. There are some visual bugs related to clipping, but no distortions. Either that or don't use flipping ATI.
That's my old computer when I was stuck on MC 1.4, after I had lost internet for a long time! Glitchy af. Also, LAPIS!
