Summary

Hey everyone, here with another weird esoteric problem. I am using casper's pixi filter plugin to create a crt scanline effect (https://casper-gaming.itch.io/cgmz-pixi-filters). If the game runs for x amount of time slanted errors in the scanline appear which destroys the aesthetic and is hard on the eyes. This is a common issue with scanline effects in PixiJS and can occur due to floating-point precision errors accumulating over time or synchronization issues between the scanline animation and the game's refresh rate. Anyone have any ideas, refresh rate edits? Maybe just reimplementing...
