Thanks!

I think I just needed some reassurance about it.

I'm really enjoying the service though, I've had a decent connection even on WiFi.

Just got Jedi fallen order or Rise of the Star Raider as I like to call it.

It works a dream at 60fps and I'm sure after comping gameplay on Youtube it's on high quality.

Just hope they release a lot more games for it, would really like cloudpunk, had it on switch and the graphics were like superman 64 level bad.

Cyberpunk next though!

Stadia Colour Banding (Compression)

Hi all.

New to Stadia using the premiere edition. It works smoothly and all AT 4K HDR etc except for the single problem of seeing really bad Colour Banding in dark scenes (tested with Hitman & GYLT) The banding are big squares too and usually within dark corners, bright colourful scenes you can't make it out.

Now I think I've read every single thread on this across Stadia & Reddit, there's not single fix all approach it seems. If anyone thinks there is one please let me know.

The banding is the same across 2 monitors, a 4K TV and even my smart phone, using the app on chromecast ultra and the browser (also tried everything there)

I know this is to do with compression on the Stadia end but that should noted in the Google setup to save users hastle and stress trying to sort it.

Im using Chromecast Ultra, 4K TV and ethernet cable at 50/ 60mbps speeds.

Any solutions welcome and I hope they either up the bit rate or mention this problem in the trouble shooting as it's very common.

Its hugely noticeable and something I hope will be sorted with how they send compressed video.

Thanks!
