meh, [img] not working for now, so here's a link: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/827/screenshot20110610at122.png
I have a mac mini, 2010 standard model(with 4GB of RAM), running latest Snow Leopard version.

I captured the corner of the square, to give an actual idea of what's happening.
If I'd follow the edges of the box along the minimap, the same would appear on the screen. So, basically, it's just like any other 'real' object(heroes, towers, etc) that u can see on minimap...
The inner side of the square is darker, just as you see it on the minimap.
Also, I can see no spells either(for example pyro's stun I cant see the dragon fire, nor the scorched ground left behind. or flint's flare animation, nor the ground animation) and range heroes' projectiles appear as if not all the texture is there (FA's arrow-and skellies- doesnt have that green-ish glow, its just a thing green line. all other projectiles follow this pattern).

I have no mods enabled atm(altho they exist on my HDD. I had them enabled before reinstalling the client). I even reinstalled the client.
Tried with max settings, min settings, in-between settings. Tried with different resolutions.
Nothing works.

Any ideas, anyone? Please :)
Thank you.

so, uhm ... I went to users/.../application data/hon/game and tried a different approach -> deleted *everything* from there, launched the game, everything was fine.
i've put mods back there without installing them, everything was fine again.
I enabled them a few at a time and now everything is fine ... :S

Any idea of what was happening? for future reference and/or other future people that might encounter it ....

One of the game files probably got corrupted. If it happens again, just reinstall again.
