Is there any way we could automatically detect this in the client and crash with a popup message?

if pc.is_old() { print("time for new pc") }

i dont even understand what the problem here is. does the driver sometimes accept texture updates and sometimes not? XD is it an alignment problem?

21:24

i guess u could detect it if u know how to reproduce it

Is this always caused by AMD drivers?

I only have a very old AMD GPU lying around I think, not sure if it works at all, so can't really test
