Additional Comment: Well i could blame my Pokemon Demo, but what would be it's issue? I've tryed to reproduce this in 2 games (Feval and Teridal) but couldn't reproduce it, so i'll leave a demo...

Demo here.

It seems something related to skin, but it happens if you enable the rendering with hardware.
The older version question is important here since the BYOND version 494 (beta) uses DX9 vs the old DX8.
Woops, missed to add it. Eh, edited. And no it didn't happen on 493 (Which uses DX8).
Ok, we'll see what we can find on that then.
Hm, don't know if this helps but this happened after copy / pasting a skin file from old project to new one.

Please retest this in a newer build; some changes were made to our drawing code that fixed some crashes, so any version from 494.1126 onward may show different behavior.
