Strange borders, only on Windows (Chrome)

Cards have had this strange rainbow checkerboard border for a couple of days now. Weirdly, some cards display fine, sometimes. Only on my Windows box - Chromebook and Chrome on Ubuntu Linux are still fine. I've shutdown and restarted the machine; cleared cached images and files; the problem persists.

I suspect it's somehow related to the (really very nice) upgrade - has anyone else had anything like this?

It's caused by Chrome using hardware accelleration from your graphics card. Apparently on some graphics cards there is a bug somewhere with this result.

What can you do:

1) Nothing, wait until the folks at Google fix the bug. This has happened in the past with other bugs as well.

2) Turn off hardware accelleration for the graphics card in Chrome. A step to step guide can be found at this website. I can understand that it may feel intimidating, so only do that if you are comfortable with that.

3) Use a not Chrome based browser, like Firefox, to play Dominion until the bug in Chrome is fixed. Since you are using Windows 10, you can also try Microsoft Edge.

OK, thanks. Turning off hardware acceleration did fix the issue, without making everything painfully slow. It's quite weird that this is the only site that was affected - seems to me like maybe you guys are doing something dodgy - but the problem is resolved, for now, and I'll try to remember to turn acceleration back on after the next update.
