First of all the last 3 words were transtaled from spanish, they may be wrong.

I have been playing balatro on my steam deck without issues for a while and was able to get on my pc to play, and I see this error.
I have been able to actually open it with mesa3d but the performance is awful and barely playable.
I heard it may be related to my graphics drivers, so currently I am using an amd radeon rx 6600 and in the 24.12.1 driver version in case that matters.

I've been told to fiddle with the display settings, but where would I do that? On the .exe's properties? or somewhere else on my computer?

I found a way for it to not crash instantly, in amd adrenaline one can access configurations specific for each game, well in advance settings I disabled the app's antialasing and it seems to work, but now the game is...invisible, like it opens, it makes noise, but I cant see it

ooookay I found a weird way to make it work, hopefully either it gets patched or amd fixes whatever the fuck they did last time.
I'll guide anyone who finds this through the steps on how I made it work

#

this is necesary as we will need to do some changes in the games settings

#

i don't count it as a fix by itself because it runs awful

#

to install it you need to download it, there will be a zip with a .dll file inside, put it inside the game and you'll be able to open it

#

inside the game put it in windowed mode, as this will be the only way we will be able to play, any other way with this solution and the game will be invisble

#

now close the game and remove the .dll file

#

next go to the amd adrenaline software, go to the games tab and choose balatro

#

inside go to down to advanced options

#

there you'll see the antialising option

#

set it to "override application settings" (thanks @glad prawn )

#

now it should open without issue

#

in windowed mode of course

i tried your fix but it seems i made a mistake when using mesna3d, i cant get it to start. i put the dll in the right directory and tried starting the game but i still get the same error. did you do something differently?
