Question / Help Weird screen "shadow pixels" - help pls!

[Rantic]

I'm getting this really weird "shadow pixels" when using OBS to Twitch.

Sample here https://www.twitch.tv/videos/154481259 after about 70 seconds you will notice it.

I've installed OBS Basic and it works great.

For some reason OBS Studio gives me the results above. Settings i've tried to keep them as much alike as possible.

You can see the sample output here without the weird "pixel shadow".
