Comparing bob on a x86 machine to it on a amd64 machine. There is
definately something wrong with the amd64. Shimmer was a bad word,
it's more like double vision or ghosting. It did not used to look like
this.
Is there a way to take screen shots in myth? I'd love to provide
pictures of these effects.
