Laser output changed (edit: bug reported)

As far as I know, nothing at all has changed in my setup. The last time I opened the project, my laser output was perfect. Now it looks incorrect. If there are several circles being projected, there are lines connecting them, which should not be there.

i’m playing laser wav files (5 channels, xyrgb) into laser device chop. Its been working great for two weeks and now i see blanking lines. cant figure this out. ive tried different ports on my computer, ive restarted, ive messed around inverting the math on the rgb channels, nothing seems to help. my version of touch designer is the latest one and that hasnt changed in the last few days either.

The only way I can get rid of the lines, is if i play my wav in VCVRack, and send the audio to touch designer using blackhole audio driver. in VCVRack i carefully mix a tiny bit of negative dc offset signals into the rgb channels until the blanking lines go away, that seems to work. However, i didnt need to do that before.

when i use other laser software like Liberation, the laser output over etherdream looks great, so something is happening with touch designer, i cant figure it out. here is a link to my touch designer project and a WAV file to load in the audiofilein chop.

EDIT: This turned out to be a bug: Laserdevice CHOP EtherDream RGB DC offset regression in build 32460

this turned out to be a bug:
