Btw. exact same issue in similar situations (when looking at sky and/or some source of light) is visible in Division 2 (btw. this game runs really good on Stadia - the only problem are those banding artifacts)   I would love to verify this issue on my oled TV with Chromecast Ultra and Stadia Controller - but unfortunatelly Google is not offering them here in Poland

Hi, @ChrisFromGoogle . (btw. this is stefan1123 , I've accidentally wrote this response from my second account..) I'm using ethernet, ~400mbps. Yesterday I was private messaging with Stadia on their Facebook profile. We've tested my connection (and it's not an issue in my case), they also suggested switching to Google's DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.8.4) and forward certain TCP/UDP ports ( ranging from 44700 - 44899 ) - this also didn't help. Finally they've asked me to contact tech support through dedicated form (https://bit.ly/3aewHFR) and they will further contact me via email (as they want to investigate this issue). In my opinion it is not a connection issue (at least in my case). It has to have sth to do with the compression algorithm and/or color encoding (eg. RGB vs Y′CBCR 4:2:2) These artifacts are visible only in certain situations (usually when looking at the sky or some direct point of light) - when there is a need to display a smooth gradient/transition between colors. Here's an example (4k and VP9 forced through Stadia Enhanced extension) - looking at the window where light is getting through - artifacts clearly visible: banding artifacts Same room, different perspective - image looks crisp with no banding (maybe a little bit on the floor - where Jackie is standing - but it's not distracting...):
