I didn't know where to post this so I'd throw it here in questions and help.

Every time I end the steam, either it be previewing or actual streaming I'm left with game artifacts in the preview pane. IRC this only started happening in the later test releases of the last stable, so late 046a's ?

http://www.anonmgur.com/up/7407faea32f4 ... 2a3b3b.PNG < this is a link to what I'm talking about

And a log from the last preview

I've tried to find the log from my steam a few hours ago but seems to be this only file from today.

Is this a bug or some annoying thing because of AMD drivers and eyefinity?

I actually don't know why that would happen. But it sounds more like it should be in the bug section. Doesn't affect your stream/game or anything does it? If not, then you can probably just safely ignore it as it looks more like a minor insignificant bug, but it's weird because I've never had it happen, nor have I ever heard of it happening before

Doesn't effect the steaming of the application in anyways, I've just steamed for 2 hours now, 0FPS dropped.
