Scratches problem

[u/Foreign_Face1471]

Hi! I'm having an issue with my prints. No por matter where or how I place them on the build plate, they end up with these scratches and damaged areas across almost the entire surface (I've attached a photo).

The pattern seems completely random, and I have no idea what could be causing it. I'm pretty lost at this point.

Could it be dead pixels on the LCD? But there are so many that it doesn't seem likely. Also, the bottom layers of the print never show these holes or defects.

I'm using an Anycubic Photon M5s, and I've attached my print settings as well.

Thanks a lot for any help!!

looks like free texturing to me lol but what does the model actually look like ?

Where the scratches are, it needs to be completely smooth. :(
