Steam: Just Cause 2

[Shakaku]

Most of my steam games work (the ones i care about) But Just Cause 2 is giving me the same issue over and over. Here is a screenshot:

I'm about to go to bed so i can' broadcast for you right now, but this is 100% of what i get when i open this game. I tried both runing streight from the exe and through steam.

Hello,

We were able to reproduce this bug with this game, and we are working on a fix. If you can, please let me know the specs of your computer so we can isolate the cause of this issue.

i7 920
12GB G.Skill DDR3 1333
BFG GTX280
Asus P6T Deluxe
Creative X-Fi Titanium
Samsung 245BW - 1920x1200 Main
Dell 2001FP - 1600x1200 2nd

I have managed to fix the problem temporarily by using Windowed mode, but full screen still messes up.

Also would you have any idea as to why me and my friend stream the exact same games, using the same free account set up, exact same Procaster settings, near identical system specs, but my streams show a large amount of blurring and "waffling" or "Mosaic" fuzz. It happens when there is a lot of movement. If you go to my channel and watch any of the recorded Battlefield BC2 footage, you'll see what I mean.

My friends channel doesn't do this. Is this a processor/compression problem? Or is this an ISP Problem? We both have very generous bandwidth.

Anyone have an answer to this problem?

I'm experiencing it as well althought I wasn't earlier today. Nothing has changed on my system between now and then.

Here is a VoD showing the problem.

Talkoon,

We are aware of the issue broadcasting Just Cause 2 with Procaster and are working on a solution. We do not have an estimated time of when this fix will be available at this point.

The waffling/artifacts sounds like codec difference to me.

H264 pixelates badly when it can't keep up with the motion.
OnVP6 blurs instead of pixelating, that's why game streamers want it put back in.

For low motion games H264 looks better than VP6, but for high-motion (first person perspective games) I think VP6 is better.

Henry,

Thank you for the response - hoping to see a fix soon!

Eugee, yeah, I only use VP6 for gaming.

Would cranking up the FPS for the stream help with this pixilation seeing as we can now hit 60FPS on it or would this still give us a bad image quality?
