I am using Stadia in 4K on CCU and Chrome and had always a fantastic experience. But since last month the quality of the stream has decreased a lot. It looks more blurry and I can see a lot more artifacts, especially around characters. Lately I have read about similar experiences on other forums and wanted to pick out one interesting thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia/comments/stx7s5/h264_is_outstanding_is_vp9_the_reason_of_all_evil/ After reading that I have also tried to switch on H264 and guess what, it looks good again! Less blurry and no frequently artifacts out of nowhere. I remember that VP9 was always much better than H264 but something has changed. The bad, I cannot use H264 on CCU and I cannot play in 4k. So here is the question: Was there any update of the VP9 codec which was never tested with Stadia? Can this be the reason of the quality loss which gets not only reported by me? Just to Add at this point: I am using ethernet, have high speed internet, the ping is low and the connection status is always on green.
