Not fixed in 1.4.3 (pre)

I cloned that issue, because I don't know any other way to handle already fixed-closed, but not fixed issues. @Mods: Any other way to handle ?

Do 2012-11-04T09:22:19Z

Cloning is probably the best way to handle it... you could also try to get a mod to reopen it, but there isn't really a great way of contacting mods right now. Cloning also draws more attention to it than reopening would, I think. It's probably not a bad thing for regressions like this to stand out a bit more (assuming people use cloning responsibly, of course).

@Do: Ok, thanks for clarifying. F'Up: Are there (yet) some basic rules written down how to handle with such issues, or is there a Meta-Jira or some kind of forum for discusing things like that ?

Do 2012-11-04T19:35:38Z

The only written guidelines we have right now, AFAIK, are here; they're targeted more at non-technical users. Communication between mods and developers mostly happens on IRC (I actually suggested a Meta-Jira as well, but it was decided against for now).

Anyway, I agree that there should be some way for everyone to communicate outside of the tracker; this is mostly a community effort after all. I'll run it by some of the other mods and see what we can come up with...

Just to add my 2c, i'd also love to see some more guidelines as to how things should run here so ensure some more consistency, although so far I think its going pretty well 🙂

Just checked in 1.4.4, bug still there. Not so hard as before, you have to look at the map at very specific angles to get the z-fighting.

Josh Miller 2012-12-08T20:08:07Z

Still there in 1.4.5

still here. also got better screenshots of it 😃

I think the real issue is substandard videocard drivers. I can't really do much about that. If the drivers do not see the difference between 0 and 3f/256 .. well ... 😞

Here: AMD Catalyst™ Display Driver for Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8 64-bit Version 12.10 (latest)
Graphics card is a Radeon HD 6700

May I interpret your comment as WontFix ?

Erik Broes 2012-12-19T08:20:18Z

Actually the zfighting happens within the map itself, not with the frame, maybe we can do something about it.

Running 1.4.7 (vanilla smp client-side) and getting z fighting every time Im further than 5-10 blocks away from the framed map. Looks ridiculous when watching my map wall, almost epilepsy inducing because of all the flickering.
Drivers: Catalyst 13.1
Gfxcard: HD7950 3Gb

Seems related to MC-220 (Z-fighting).

kumasasa 2013-01-27T15:28:57Z

No, as Grum wrote, the texture of the map background fights with the drawn map data.

Etho complained, Mojang Fixed. Coincidence? I think not.

kumasasa 2013-02-14T19:45:17Z

WTF is Etho ?

Anıl Karabayır 2013-02-14T20:38:24Z

Sorry for interrupting but I actually Loled to that 😃 (He is a famous youtuber who makes mostly minecraft videos)

kumasasa 2013-02-14T21:33:17Z

Aha. Isn't famous youtuber an oxymoron, is it ?

iamdarkyoshi 2013-02-19T13:35:30Z

Yes it is actually
