I used to get that pretty frequently, actually, a few months ago. Especially when I pressed SHIFT.

Add that to the list of 'Weird things that happen when you press SHIFT in Diablo III.'

I've gotten flashes such as this since launch, and it's persisted through upgrading video cards.

Blizzard has this on all their games for some time now (2008?). They have embedded code in each screenshot that identifies which game and server that player is playing on, which client they're using (32/64) and a long string of numbers identifying the player, but one that only Blizzard can read that has no personal or game info attached.

It's mainly used to hunt down exploiters/leakers, since when they post a screenshot it's easy to find out exactly which player it is. No outside source can use that info though.

It's not very popular and talked about since, well, you know, if everyone knew about it - it wouldn't really work. But it sadly got pretty well known about a year ago.

The same for me, with two different graphics cards.

As I said, I'm pretty sure both D3 and SC2 have these watermarks. Are they different than WoW? Sure, why wouldn't they be. Is what you're linking the watermark? I don't know. But you showed the WoW one and I explained what it was and what it does. I'm confident we have an equivalent in D3.

edit: And I wasn't saying you shouldn't post about it. Do whatever you like. :P

I have this too since launch (only in D3, not in SC2 or so), and with two different computers (my old one, and this one I made component by component some months ago) ;)

in case anyone is wondering, a friend identified the Chinese characters on the bottom row as "domestic/local connection"
