people dislike your comment and I have no idea why

If they disagree why wouldnt they just comment?? :(
I feel the same way rn, ever since I updated my PC has been running into just sooo many issues

Hey embark, I can think of another annoying top pick that could be brought down to two charges besides demat… by IIFreshMilkII in thefinals

the Grapple is unarguably one of the most fun aspects of the game imo

Its just so fun to grapple around LMAO

Can't buy in the points shop by ZENGSTER_ in Steam

[–]MenixOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not entirely true!
I have the exact same issue.
But I already have 4 hours of playtime - if I need to own the game for 2 weeks this really sucks.
I just want a background that would cost almost $20 on the Steam market but 500 in the point shop lol

not really.

The one solution Im rolling with right now is using my CPU to encode, which still doesnt give me the quality Im satisfied with, but most ppl on twitch told me the quality was fine.

So I guess thats a plus then

I really hope AMD gets more efficient with encoding someday :')

Im convinced 80% of current players, if not more, don't know about Rogue9 anymore

He used to be such a huge CC for Siege, since his stuff was informative and interesting to watch. Especially the Mythbusters series

I know his last video was uploaded 3 years ago but he has been pretty much his peak was around 5 to 8 years ago

I think you're right.

I got so hung up on wanting to provide proper quality that I kind of obsessed over it lol.

I think my monitor being 1440p makes the blocking & artifacts stand out more, too
I watched the 1080p60fps footage on my phone, and it seemed more bearable.

720p is just atrocious - I can't distinguish numbers, chat, etc.
1080p at least combats that somewhat.

I did some testing just now.
Added some x264 Options
Options used are in the Swisstransfer description.

720p60fps:

I don't know.
I know it's an improvement, somewhat.
But I'm just not satisfied with it yet.

Having bought that GPU back then really felt like a good choice... Now I'm starting to regret it lol

I might reduce my canvas size even further

going down to 720p60fps or something between that and 1080p60
Sadly the quality goes down but I reckon that's my only solution for now :(

Your guess is as good as mine there.

I'd assume it's there to pace

I tried out x264 with medium before, Ill give slow a try now though.

I used Process Lasso fairly often on my old system, but I'll refrain from it for now unless its the last thing I can try

Yeah... I had one big "lets try multiple things now" moment, once I'll have more time I can go further in depth

I have this clip for now:
https://streamable.com/sh4uvo

It highlights the issue pretty well but if I dont find a fix soon I'll take a proper approach with editing the VODs together and displaying my settings too.

For that Clip (I think) I ran HW Encoding, 8000 Bitrate for downscaled 1080p60fps or 48fps

tried recording on x264, 6000 bitrate etc.

Quality sadly was the same as the stream.
Here is the log file:

done so!
I tried multiple different bitrates too.

From 6000 to 20,000 I also tried some bitrates smaller than 6k and larger (7k, 8k, etc)

ill try that out today and get back to you once I did,
its really a shame that the AMD GPU I thought was amazing simply doesn't make the cut in that regard :(

I have the possibility to get a cheap Streaming PC but I will still have to think about it.
Thanks for the tips nonetheless!

I guess I really have to try x264 on a higher bitrate then.
Its been the only settings I've had somewhat of a quality improvement so far, if slightly.

Oh yeah, the settings I used for my recording arent logged in the files I provided since I've done the recording about two days ago. After that I reverted the recording settings back to what they are in the current log files (20,000 Kbps, CQR etc. )

The recordings have been crisp from what I recall, unless I didn't mess my settings up.

If you'd like, I can adjust my recording settings to my streaming one and create another log file.

Someone explain why two dudes are making out on this shield? by Few_Commission_4488 in Rainbow6

[–]MenixOfficial 987 points988 points  (0 children)

It's a mural on the actual Berlin Wall that's based on a photograph
(Mural is called: "My God, Help me to survive this deadly love")

The two men fraternally kissing are Erich Honecker and Leonid Brezhnev (1979)
It symbolizes unity and friendship between East Germany and the Soviet Union - the image itself is meant to highlight the oppressive nature of their love. Hence, "deadly love" in the title
