Thin lines visual glitch (not the CRT filter)

[Sukebanya]

When the game opens, there is a thin line of a couple of pixels length spanning the width of my display appearing where, I believe, a visual object asset is loading in e.g. the Balatro logo on the title screen. This happens on initial load, and when returning to the title screen from a game over state. I will stress that this is not referring to the CRT filter, as I have this dialled down to zero with only pixel smoothing set to on. I do not notice the glitch during gameplay.

The demo was a lot of fun! Thank you to the developer(s) for offering such a generous sample to try it out properly, and I can't wait to experience the full game when it releases soon.

Edit after purchasing the full game: This issue still persists for me. It's not a huge issue, just a quirky little visual bug in an otherwise well-polished game. I have tried the following:

- Varying the strength of CRT filter, including 'off'
- V-Sync on and off
- Using different monitors (resolution always set to 1920x1080)

The horizontal lines still appear very briefly, and intermittently. In other words, there is not one 'it always happens here and only here' instance.

Dropping in to say similar thing happening with me.

Frequently throughout gameplay I'll get thin green or red lines appearing horizontally across the screen. They only flash for a split second and it's super jarring.

I've found that disabling the CRT effect makes it stop, but that's a shame as I'd like to play with them enabled.

I assumed it was part of the CRT filter. That would check out if it goes away when you turn the filter off.

I too have the red/green lines spanning the whole screen - I assumed it was part of the CRT filter but after playing more they are too annoying to be intentional. I think it's a graphical glitch.

Yeah same here with greens lines

Adding in that I see this as well. It's minor enough it doesn't ruin things but still a noticeable visual bug. I enjoy how things look with a little of the CRT filter so would be a shame to have to have that off to 'fix' it.

Still have it with CRT turned off.

Ah yep, you're right. Played some more with the CRT off as well and still noticed it happening.

I've noticed this too, I have the CRT filter all the way off.

Glad to see it's not just me.

Have the CRT filter turned off and it still appears at the start of a new run, in the middle of the screen.
