    Its time again,
    we had a few reports about pentas not showing correctly in one orientation,
    but this only happens on a few systems.

    You are affected when orientation 'Back' looks like this:

    Things we seem to know:
    - it is not depending on texture pack or resolution
    - OS, seems to be mostly windows (7 ultimate or 8.1)
    - intel hardware (but not all....)

    Now we need a few more users that are affected and may give some feedback about their systems.

    Everyone affected should add
    Video Hardware:
    Java version:
    OS:

    here in this thread or in
    Issue #390: Pentas facing forward left have a concave face

    A DxDiag report may help too.
    (As this lists up all system details for futher possible causes that may come up)

    Also added a blueprint made by FlyingDebris
    he marked the broken penta with a block ontop.

    For reference:

    FlyingDebris , Sven_The_Slayer , aceface , LazyBigCat ARE affected by this.
    Feel free to contact them to point out similar system specs and post anything you may find out here.
    Or just add a DXDiag report and tell if you have it or, not.

    I really hope this works as good as the attempt to fix the preview ghost block in advanced build mode. =)

    This is damn peculiar, I have never noticed it until now.

    It is a different shape from different view points on my client :/

    Perfectly normal...


    Less normal...


    not even sure if the block is there anymore.


    Windows 7 64bit with 64 bit java

    DxDiag report attached

    I have the same experience. I don't think it's a windows only thing.

    Intel® Core™ i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz × 4

    Then relieve yourself from any aggression against it.

    I have now 3 positive replies of it being fixed in current dev-branch, so next release will have it fixed =)
