| 2 days ago | comment | added | galacticninja | Probably due to differences in graphics/driver settings or hardware between your system and the one in that YouTube video, plus YouTube's own reencoding. Try using a different screenshot capture program. If you get the same result, that rules out Steam as the culprit. | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | qazmlpok | This is a screenshot taken with Steam's tool (default F12, I think), correct? How does it compare to a screenshot taken with printscrn and saved as png in a graphics application? Paint or Paint.NET should work. Looking at the top screenshot, it has a lot of random noise, but that doesn't appear to be JPG artifacts. For youtube, I wouldn't be surprised if youtube smooths out images to reduce the filesize. | |

| 2 days ago | comment | added | murgatroid99 | Is it possible that you're just looking at the screenshots at less than their full resolution, and seeing artifacts of that? | |
