Sometimes, when I play several games without starting the client, I see a sequence of blocks displayed in the lower-left corner while the game is loading, and get graphics glitches in my inventory. Some textures are missing, some are just white. It gives this repetetive output:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: 21:44:26: ACTION[ServerThread]: singleplayer joins game.

I compiled the very latest git (as of July 20) on Linux.

Minetest/Irrlicht doesn't free the GL Memory after use
Just restart Minetest

the more mods/nodes you have running more often you have to restart.

It may be that the VideoDriver does not free the textures. A few solutions could be:
- Only use getTexture() to load the texture. This will avoid multiple instances of the same texture.
- Make sure that all classes that load textures drop() and grab() them correctly
