Around the time the HD60 came out, Elgato unveiled new updated software (v2.0). At the time I didn't think much of it and updated. I'd only really been using HDMI so I never saw an issue until now. Today I had a need to capture some Wii Component video for a friend. Once the main menu came up I instantly said to myself "this looks wrong".
I decided to capture 2 games to compare (Donkey Kong Country and Clock Tower). I then downgraded to version 1.42.24 which I know to be correct and recaptured the same scenes. Here are the results.
Clock Tower:

As you can see, the newer version is a mess. I thought I would clarify that I was using the latest 2.01.56 software when I say "v2.0". Luckily you can still download v1.42.24 on the Elgato website but if for some reason they ever remove it, I have mirrored the download on my Google Drive which you can download
here.
