Weird horizontal lines on screen

[Eburon]

Since my first play of CS2, I've noticed some weird brighter horizontal lines on my monitor. To me it is really distractive and since I noticed it, it is really annoying me to the degree I can't play it at the moment. It's most visible in darker area's or in smoke.
First I tried all kinds of different settings in game/Nvidia and monitor, but the lines are always there. So I was beginning to think there is something wrong with my monitor, but it's only in CS and at all possible refreshrates.
But today I found other people are having the same issue, so I think it has to be a software related problem with the game. Here is an example from someone on youtube, because it's very hard to capture, but it is exactly like this.
Are there people here that also noticed it, and know a possible solution? I really hope they can fix this, I know it looks like a small issue, but to me it is a game breaker.

oh, those on the bottom? it's a very clever design choice, it's a slightly transparent gradient to the bottom of the screen, part of the in-game UI that I haven't found a way to toggle off

so don't worry, it's not your game, or hardware, it's like that for everyone and it's completely intentional. not a bug, but a feature :D

Well that actually makes sense! Glad it's not my brand new monitor! But why would they ever do something like that? Maybe I'm just one of the few that is really annoyed by it.
Thanks for the explanation!

I'd like to know what purpose it serves too honestly, I hope they will remove it in the future

Yeah really hope they will fix it, but I doubt it. You were right btw, when I completely turn off the HUD with the command cl_draw_only_deathnotices 1 , the lines disappear, but in that way it is just bad because you can't see the minimap or time remaining. But I'm glad to know now where the problem comes from.

Same issue here, is there a way to escalate it to Valve developers?

Any fixes?

i dont think so. The Issue is still there

[Eburon]

Yeah there still isn't a fix. Don't think they ever will. There is a way to completely disable the hud which solves the issue, but then the minimap & timer is also gone so it's not really a solution you want.

there is a fix. cl_draw_only_deathnotices 1

fixes the line physically, but isn't able to fix in mentally and psychologically, unfortunately (

[DEATHBLOW]

This is still not fixed

Yep. I've noticed this too. It's an eye sore. It's more than likely part of their HUD. Since the line is straight across from your number 1 inventory/weapon. It's immersion and game breaking. All I can notice now. Certain maps it's worse, like Office. You'd think a billion dollar company could fix such an issue? I mean it's only been 20 years. Considering it was an issue in CSGO as well.

Do your job Valve. Fix it.

in CSGO? it wasn't like that in CSGO… only at the top of the screen, like a cardboard cutout like in Minecraft in dark places but in Minecraft it's an oval and in CSGO it was an half-oval kind of

I noticed it in CSGO as well on my crappy Sceptre monitor. It's literally the same game using the exact same hud. It's probably a 2$ fix for a billion dollar company that somehow can't seem to do it lol.

I don't see it, can you please send a screenshot in .TGA format? They're created along with usual .JPG ones when you press F12 and are located in Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\screenshots\ folder
