    A browser tab I closed a couple minutes ago is now printed on a planet, wherever the planet is, the overlay of the browser tab is.

    Hello,

    This problem is quite baffling. Your drivers are up to date, so that isn't a driver issue.

    However, I believe the problem lies in either using mods, having SLI enabled, using a third party program in the background, or multiple monitors.

    I have 1 mod enabled which just adds a unit, No SLI, no 3rd party program besides chrome :)

    Coherent UI is based off of Chromium. It's odd that it would load an old tab as UI data however...

    Reminds me of an issue I had on linux where around the mouse cursor it would have a box that was shine through to my desktop.

    Though yours is different in that it actually shows stuff that you have no longer open anywhere. Maybe somehow magically PA grabbed somewhere into the vram and happened to find old left over data from the browser and PA somehow doesnt correctly initialize it and ends up with the old data more or less.

    Can it be reproduced I wonder?

    This was the goal of Planetary Annihilation all along.

    This really looks like you're having some memory or graphics issues. Our use of the browser is pretty walled off. There's no way I can think of this could happen through a code bug. General system memory corruption can do weird things though.

    Have you run a memtest recently?

    I see you have found the new experimental browse-in-game feature...
