Webcams

Just wondering if anyone elses webcam looks all blocky on the new servers. It used to be crystal clear but now looks really bad. Yet in msn its crystal clear again.

Ive just come out the chat there and yeah, my cam looks more pixellated. I've not tried it on msn tho.

Ours is a lot more pixellated too when compared to the previous version of chat but it works fine in other programs.
Has the quality been compromised for the sake of server bandwidth?

Yes it seems a shame that the excellent quality of the cams has been compromised. I am really quite disappointed, as the cam quality used to be excellent, and now we all look like people off crimewatch.
Please SH do something soon.

Any thoughts from Admin as to why the cam quality has been lowered?

Interesting stuff!
I have been reading this over the weekend but couldn't actually do anything about it until today for technical reasons.
Anyway, the interestng bit is... their supposed to be much better quality! I upped the quality and framerate settings, why its made it worse i don't know!
I will have a play again today and either set it back to how it was before, or see if i can get it better still.

who's been fiddling with the cams again, noticed over the last few days cam quality has deteriorated and become all blocky again.
