Descriptive Problem Summary:
Some times dreamseeker just.. Stops updating the screen, which makes it just take whatever was in front of it a moment ago.

Actual Results:

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
It's happened twice now, but I have no idea what or why.


Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
This is happening with the latest beta patch, so I am assuming it is because of the multithreading.

Workarounds:
Re-starting the game works.
Does this happen in 501, or does it only start in 502?
I believe the issue began in 502, updated to it to check how the multi-threading would perform. (Which is doing great!)

But yes, I think this started in 502.
When you say "re-starting the game", do you mean rebooting the server, or restarting your client (dreamseeker)? And when this happens, is everyone seeing the problem?
Just restarting my dreamseeker client solves the issue.

Welcome to my screen, this happened just now, after I opened dreammaker and it "Forced" it's way to the foreground: http://puu.sh/5X1Qq.png
Try the new setting in 503.1222 to disable the multithreadnig when you host, and see if that fixes the issue. That will help us isolate the problem.

The problem occurs when I play the game, I rarely host on my own PC.
This is older than multithreading, its been happening (and been reported) since way before 500

Its specially a problem with SS13
