Discord Streaming Question

[Madd]

When I try to stream this game on discord to my friends, it freezes for them for some reason. We've tried changing settings in discord and the game and nothing seems to work so far. Does anyone know how to fix this? It wasn't doing this until recently and only happens with this game.

What helped me was this: I set the game to display in a window and streamed the entire screen.

What NL said was playing windowed and not sharing the window, but doing a full screen recording.
This bug (if it's the same one) appears to be Discord either keeping things in its own memory when it reads from Balatro, or doing something to Balatro's screen memory whenever it accesses it. Since it sounds like the people reporting it see Balatro's RAM usage go up in Windows' resource manager, probably the latter.
But when you record your entire screen, Discord doesn't access every program's memory to capture its graphical output, but just accesses the full frame the OS sends to the monitor. No weird memory interaction, no memory leak, no crash.

Thank you for the clarification. Yeah, when I put the game into windowed mode, I was able to stream it directly actually, i didn't need to stream the whole screen. And I think you bring up a valid concern. My S.O. plays the game as well and is able to stream it regardless with out issue. But he also has Nitro so I'm wondering if there is a unintended disparity between accounts with and without Discord Nitro.

It’s weird cause I have this issue too, but only for steam. I was playing it on Xbox and came to Steam after. The Xbox version never crashed for me.

I dunno what it is about discord and balatro but from me when running balatro in fullscreen or borderless fullscreen the game crashes after a little bit. (memory leak possibly?) The only fix i've found is running the game in windowed mode if you wanna stream it to ur friends in discord maybe be related bug.

This is happening for me as well. I thought it was a driver bug because it crashed my Nvidia overlay.
