[heavy mauve]

then went to options and clicked continue

its just a softlock so its not dangerous

[misty pike]

Interesting

[heavy mauve]

can do it with planet packs and probably spectral

clicking next round crashes

[lone dagger]

Got a bug where the game crashes on loading the shop

I rerolled the shop and immediately went to main menu

now the save file is locked

[heavy mauve]

if it was after a boss blind

then your not the first victim sadly

[lone dagger]

🥲

[tawdry estuary]

My game doesn't want to open at all. Everytime I try to open it I get this error.

Error

return {["tutorial_progress={["hold_parts"]..."]:1: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'inf' (a nil value)

Traceback

return {["tutorial_progress={["hold_parts"]..."]:1: in function 'STR_UNPACK'

I've tried uninstalling the game but it seems to keep doing the same thing when I reinstall.

I fixed the issue by deleting the save file.

[winged badge]

while playing i hit start new run, almost immediately i went to main menu, when i then hit play and clicked continue it went to the previous run and crashed, not an ingame crash though with the crash screen a normal "app is unresponsive" type crash

[candid furnace]

not sure if im interpreting four fingers wrong but i dont think this should count as a straight flush

[hot sail]

has a straight, has a flush, thats a straight flush!

the 10 could be any value at all and it would count

or the 6

[candid furnace]

oh i get it thank you

[noble kelp]

weird thing happened, one stone card is not debuffed for some reason
didnt use a single discard or hand, did not sell a joker

[noble kelp]

If you purchase something, then leave to menu and "continue" the run, your shop purchase would not be saved

[heavy mauve]

I just got home but the first one is known, its because that stone card came from marble joker
2nd thing is intended I believe since it is known

[lyric maple]

ok, I just got softlocked, if you're standing against The Mouth boss, and you don't have the hand that you played, since the game doesn't allow you to play invalid hands like before, you will be extremely softlocked, big issue tbh, I wasn't expecting it

[heavy mauve]

not softlock

you can play the hand you just wont get points

[lyric maple]

no

[heavy mauve]

(click play 2x)

[lyric maple]

it doesn't allowed me to play iy

[heavy mauve]

you can play it, first time is a warning, 2nd time you can play it

[lyric maple]

damn, I had to press it 3 times, I thought it wouldn't let me since it went gray

thanks

[heavy mauve]

np

if you click a card after clicking play the first time then you have to click it 2x again

[soft pulsar]

left the game open overnight by accident while my computer was in sleep
pretty sure something like this has been reported before but wanted to make sure

[dusty sandal]

yeah, re from sleep crashes sometimes

[forest root]

If you take a voucher tag, and then buy either voucher in the next shop, the other voucher disappears!

My instinct is that the extra voucher should only last a shop, but it seems to make the regular ante voucher also only last a shop

Yeah, if you buy neither, then the regular ante voucher stays

[simple beacon]

I don't know if this is a bug or if it has been reported before, but applying either the Heirophant effect or the Empress effect onto cards which was been granted permanent +1 chips via hiker, remove those 'permanent' chips. Is this a bug or a feature?

[heavy mauve]

reported and I dont think its intended but hasnt been changed, dont know locals full take on that

[soft pulsar]

if you spam the "Paste Seed" button when making a seeded run, it won't completely fade to blue and will remain a very light blue

[frail axle]

my understanding was "you get an extra ante voucher", i.e. it persists until the next ante

I think???? that's what happened, although the last time I took the voucher tag it was before the September demo

[queen tide]

'next shop contains an additional voucher'

[dusty sandal]

Any enhancement tarot removes the hiker bonus, can confirm
probably a bug

[dusty sandal]

BUG

Pasting seed.
Clipboard contents: ```
== 2:
print(v["name"].upper()+",")

[noble kelp]

~~sql injection 😹 ~~

it's the ( that causes crash btw

[robust cloud]

whenever the shop has been rerolled at least once, and main menu and press continue, the game becomes unresponsive

[dusty sandal]

known issue

[heavy mauve]

Only happens in shops after bossed for GoldenDiscoPig

[noble kelp]

% causes the crash too

(guessing it's because of string formatting lol)

cuz "malformed pattern"

You can use symbols ., $ and ^ for the seed.

[heavy mauve]

I knew % crashed, didnt know those didnt crash

[noble kelp]

well, didn't try to do a run since I have an active run rn, but you can paste them as the set seed

[heavy mauve]

yeah

[dusty sandal]

THEY SERIOUSLY TREAT THE CLIPBOARD PATTERN AS CODE??

[noble kelp]

I have no idea, it's just a guess.

[dusty sandal]

They seriously just send 8 Right Arrow & Backspace presses to delete the old seed when you click Paste

[heavy mauve]

LOL

work smarter not harder

[dusty sandal]

Apparently it broke because it sends the string into Lua string.find

[noble kelp]

Card return animation is below some of the assets in the "new game" menu (not from the main menu)
Very game breaking bug, I know...

[heavy mauve]

i saw that and because it was so gamebreaking didnt tell anybody

[vague reef]

Not really sure if it's intended or not but "Hearts and Diamonds count as the same suit" doesn't really make it sound like Diamonds should be Hearts for the purpose of The Head "All Heart cards are debuffed"

Not really sure what a better wording would be though

[noble kelp]

it's not a bug

[heavy mauve]

its cause smeared makes them equal eathother

[vague reef]

Yeah, I understand why, I just think the wording of Smeared doesn't fit the effect in this case

Rather than being "Hearts and Diamonds count as the same suit", the effect is actually "Hearts and Diamonds also count as each other"

[heavy mauve]

yeah

[noble kelp]

You can kinda understand that if u use deck peek mechanic, it says "effective total" in blue text next to the suit numbers, but yea it's not ideal

[vague reef]

I'll be honest, I kinda hate the "effective total" text, so I don't really use it

Especially how it flickers between the two different values, makes it harder to read

[noble kelp]

huh?

it doesn't flicker, or wym

[vague reef]

I swear I remember it doing a kinda wipe between blue and normal text?

Maybe I'm thinking of how it was before q?

[echo bloom]

I have no idea what could have caused this, but in the shop on round 8 on the seed V5R9V2UI, the game crashed immediately once I entered the shop.

It freezes and the screen looks like this:

[heavy mauve]

After fighting a boss and rerolling in the shop you crash when continuing

basically, your softlocked

[echo bloom]

So it's a known bug?

[heavy mauve]

yes

not much you can do about it

[echo bloom]

Dang

I'll just restart the seed then lol

[heavy mauve]

lol

I mean blueprint and juggler is an upsetting loss

[echo bloom]

And I had gotten a great start for a flush house build

I also just beat The Needle and nothing showed up in my collection

[heavy mauve]

well its cause your playing seeded

[echo bloom]

oh

That makes sense

Thx

[chrome glen]

had an odd run but rerolled boss blind into 'only 1 hand type', played a straight and got unlucky, was unlikely to win the blind regardless but just had to start a new run myself. Could do with a check on this blind to see if with 0 discards, current jokers, tarot and hand if the hand type is possible. It's a lot of if cases to check but given it only matters with 0 discards its an edge case QOL change

[heavy mauve]

whats the bug?

[chrome glen]

also games very good thunk 🙂 its my current wind down after work game

its less of a bug, more an edgecase where playing a hand is impossible but the game doesnt telegraph - nothing is WRONG, but it feels off to have to go to menu and start new run once youve scanned that its impossible to play anything

its like a user bug

[hot sail]

no bug! if you press play hand again it will go through and just not score the cards

[heavy mauve]

^^

[chrome glen]

no it wouldnt let me play anything

[heavy mauve]

You gotta click play 2x

if that didnt work its because you adjusted the cards, and the you would have had to do it again 2x

[hot sail]

it prevents you the first time because a lot of people accidentally play a hand thats not allowed and lose out

[chrome glen]

HUH omg did not know that was a thing...

[heavy mauve]

We might need to clarify this

because your like the 5th person to think this

[chrome glen]

you're right, im glad i didnt restart the run just yet but interesting, is that said anywhere if you press play again after the blind warns you itll play the selected hand?

[heavy mauve]

nope

[chrome glen]

maybe under the 'you must play x' it could have a "play anyway?" prompt

[heavy mauve]

yeah

Ill have to tell Thunk

[chrome glen]

yeah a qol change, either a telegraph at the play button to say press again to play hand anyway or a new button under the warning to do that - but first time having the 1 hand type blind and it was rough, that run was all over the place

[heavy mauve]

Blueprint on Runner doesnt increase the permanence by 20 even though it totally should

definitely a choice and not a bug, probably, but I want it

[robust cloud]

it's the same with how ride the bus doesn't get +2 with blueprint beside it, so i believe this isn't really a bug?

[fading gulch]

I wouldn't consider it to be a bug as ride the bus and runner would be self referential, with blueprint then copying that exactly, with the increased permanant effect also being self referential, i.e. increasing blueprint's chip value, which then doesn't matter as that would get overwritten immediately after by blueprint copying something (or nothing)

the incremental jokers reference the exact copy that is in use, not that joker in general (as in if there were 2 of that joker, they both would increment separately and not buff each other)

[hushed matrix]

Today I was getting multiple copies of cards available in the shop like what ring master does. Anyone else experiencing this?

[hot sail]

known bug! we call the White Whale

[hushed matrix]

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1975841933

10:00 and 39:00

[deft thorn]

the demo won't launch for me, all I get is a white window then it closes after couple seconds

the window is slightly clipping over my second display, it feels like it's trying to launch with a wrong resolution, I have a 4k monitor so maybe that's the issue. Does it launch windowed/borderless or in fullscreen by default?

[noble kelp]

it launches borderless fullscreen by default

[deft thorn]

wish I could edit the settings file and try windowed mode

[noble kelp]

I can change my settings and send u the settings file

[deft thorn]

sure

[noble kelp]

it will try to launch fullscreen initially though, so this might not be the fix

%appdata%\Balatro

[deft thorn]

yea it went from fullscreen white to small white window but still crashed

thanks for the help tho

[noble kelp]

You can try checking if anything pops up in events viewer when the game crashes

win+s -> type event viewer -> custom views -> administrative events
I believe if app crashes there should appear a log

but I might be wrong, only used this once for a different app, maybe it works the same way 🤔

[heavy mauve]

as campfire said its a repeating bug, but we dont know how it works, but this definetly helps me figure out whats happening so thank you

[frail axle]

I thought the white whale has been found already #🕹・game-discussion message

[heavy mauve]

really?

[heavy mauve]

its been found before, but it hasnt been fixed

[novel pelican]

I just reloaded a save and suddenly all my jokers were gone
I have absolutely no clue what could have caused that

[noble kelp]

shop purchases simply didn't save, look at your balance. it happens if you quit to menu and reload the save

[novel pelican]

Ty !

[fast kite]

The wasteful voucher isnt working. doesnt give any discards per round.

[dusty sandal]

Hm?

How many discards per round do you have

[fast kite]

i only had 4 the entire game

[dusty sandal]

That's correct for wasteful

Unless you're also running red deck

[fast kite]

uhh whatever default?

[dusty sandal]

default is 3 iirc

[fast kite]

ah

probably my mistake then. apologies

[terse iron]

there is no five of a kind flush

[noble kelp]

Not a bug, but you can make a suggestion (if it wasnt done before)

[rough spindle]

I think it’s been done the most out of any suggestion

[noble kelp]

not surprising 😅

[terse iron]

bad game design is effectively a bug

from the users end the two are indistinguishable

[heavy mauve]

We did multiple polls on if it should exist, and results say no by a majority

so 🤷‍♂️

[distant goblet]

There may be another system added far post-launch for more specific/popular named hands (royal flush, 5oak flush (aka fish), wheel etc.) but definitely no guarantees, and if you actually look at the systems in place in the game right now, the more individual hands you add the weaker similar hands get. So in this case, by adding five of a kind flush, you directly weaken 5oak by requiring you to dodge the flush to take advantage of planet X.

[terse iron]

ok that actually makes it a good decision, thanks for explaining

[heavy mauve]

Me: "We The People of the Balatro server said no by a slight majority"
You: "That works for me!"

[midnight delta]

noticed an interaction between Superposition and Four Fingers.

My hand was : A789T

it contained a straight (thanks to 4 Fingers) as well as an Ace. That does fit the description of Superposition, so if not triggering the effect is intentional than it should probably be changed to say the straight must contain the Ace.

Another one I think could be a bug but I'm not sure:

To Do List does not give the 4 gold on a straight flush, but Crazy Joker will give the multiplier for straight flush. Seems a little inconsistent.

[amber valley]

did the ace score?

[terse iron]

To Do List: “if poker hand is a straight”
Crazy Joker: “if poker hand contains a straight”

[wary mango]

considering u dont have splash i assume the ace didnt score which is why superposition didnt trigger

in this scenario it does fit the description of superposition as it states scoring hand

[midnight delta]

Gotcha, glad to know the game is right and I just misread it. Thanks 🙏

[quaint fulcrum]

what's wrong there
i dont get it

to do list makes you do various card combinations, flush house, high card, whatever, if you're told to do straight and you do straight flush, you wont get the money cause you are told to do straight specifically

crazy joker makes you atleast contain that in your hand, it could be straight flush and would still give you extra mult from crazy joker

[terse iron]

There’s nothing wrong, I was referring to the person who didn’t get the payout from playing straight flush when it wanted straight

[quaint fulcrum]

well i made it quite clear now

if there would be any further questions

[old pivot]

for some reason, I can't open the game with 2 screens anymore.

• When I open the game with 2 monitors (#1 ultrawide, #2 16"), it opens up in the #2 with a white window and it freezes.
• When I open the game with 1 monitor (the ultrawide), it opens, but in the video settings, it says Display Monitor nil.
  Not sure how to reproduce
  I tried deleting the settings.jkr file. That fixed it, but removed my progress.

Relevant Screenshots

[old pivot]

not sure why, but this counts as a straight flush for some reason? (i don't have any cards that change the 8♦ to an 8♠)

[soft pulsar]

four fingers

so you only need four of the same suit for a flush, and you have a straight

[old pivot]

ah so even if it is broken by the 8♦, it still counts because I have a 4 card flush?

[soft pulsar]

Yes

You could even have something like
10 9 8 7 2 and it will still count

Since it has a straight and a flush

[old pivot]

so it just does a check of whether or not the hand contains both a straight and a flush.

that makes sense. thanks

[soft pulsar]

yw

[quaint fulcrum]

If you buy overstock voucher, you automatically refill slots available in shop.
In this shop, I bought tarot card after one reroll, and there was only mystic summit joker, and after buying overstock voucher, card slots were refilled with jokers

it might be intentional though

[frail axle]

yes, it is intentional

can't find the message, though...

[dark dove]

guys, so i wanted to play this so i installed it and when i tried to open it, it stopped at this screen, and it almost always happens, i say almost since rarely it goes to the main menu and only the music loads before crashing

[distant goblet]

I bet you have amd graphics, which means its time to manually update your graphics drivers! This thread shows localthunk walking someone through the process https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1156736307679211610

[dark dove]

nope, i have an intel processor

here are my pc specs

[quartz pond]

What graphics card do you have?

[dark dove]

idk, where can i check it?

[frail axle]

you are on Windows 10, so try opening up Task Manager (Ctrl-Shift-Esc), go to the Performance tab at the top (you may need to click "View more" at the bottom if there are no tabs), then look for "GPU"

nevermind, you're on 1511 which is a very old version of Windows, which doesn't have GPU in Task Manager

(your Windows is 8 years old)

[dark dove]

i am unable to update

i literally can't

[frail axle]

does Windows Update not work for you? do you know why?

[dark dove]

hold on let me try

[frail axle]

Balatro not working and Windows Update not working may have the same root cause

[quartz pond]

You can type in 'device manager', open it and see what it says under 'display adapters'

[frail axle]

I would recommend you DO NOT update for now

[dark dove]

don't worry, i can't

[distant goblet]

lmao

[frail axle]

the update may fix the issue, but if we can fix it without updating that's better

apologies for derailing, do you mind following localthunk's instructions?

[dark dove]

hold on, just lemme change the language of my pc to english so i can follow them

why is it taking so long

i guess i can't change the language 😭

[noble kelp]

Lost winstreak by playing seeded runs. Not sure if it's going to menu or playing a hand, dont have time to test now

[heavy mauve]

huh

[noble kelp]

2nd time it happens, first time I lost my 16 ws 😦

[heavy mauve]

me with 4 winstreak

as my best

[robust cloud]

whenever you have an active run, and then abandon it, you lose your winstreak

if it happens on seeded which i think i saw in the vid then it’s probably a bug

[noble kelp]

that's exactly what happened both times

[robust cloud]

rip

[winged badge]

damn windows 10 being 8 years old was like a smack in the face just now, windows keeps trying to get me to upgrade to windows 11 and i just refuse cause i dislike the way it looks and functions but i might have to update cause they will probably stop updating windows 10 soon

[winged badge]

mines is 3 but with that glitch that allowed you to restart without effecting your streak lmao

[heavy mauve]

lol

[gritty venture]

My PC is too old (read: shitty) to “upgrade” to Windows 11

[heavy mauve]

There is a way to keep a winstreak alive, rather not say how in discord chat since everyone can hear me

May also be wrong cause it may reset when play a hand or something, will experiment and tell local if find it game breaking

nvm, Im just dumb/going insane, again

[dusty sandal]

win11 is garbage period
I might even considering switching to linux if they push harder

win11 is designed for idiots(no offence to users, yes offence to win11 praisers). Not for nerds like me.

[fading gulch]

Can’t wait for Windows 10 to not be supported soon

[noble kelp]

I mean, what could go wrong if u tell it here? there's no "competition" so who cares about an unfair ws in a singleplayer game

and it's not like u can already just backup the save file and replace it if u lose 😹

[amber valley]

not really a bug--but imo cards like odd todd or 8 ball should read "scored", not "played"

[wise quiver]

I literally just joined the discord to report this.

Heh

[livid berry]

It is not really a bug, but the "Hiker"-Joker activates on a stone card even when they do not get the bonus.

[waxen ether]

They actually do get the bonus, I believe the bug here is that the stone card doesn't list the chips in the tooltip like regular cards do

Reported a while back but I don't think it got patched yet

[heavy mauve]

taking wraith with all rare cards crashes the game btw

[robust cloud]

lol

edge cases might need to be considered i guess…

(like how having all jokers possible and then entering shop crashes game)

(assuming demo jokers, as ring master in full game would prevent this)

[heavy mauve]

or using aura when all cards drawn are already aurad

[robust cloud]

ye

[restive cipher]

if you have the joker it should skip the joker and move onto the next one right, so you would just end up getting only tarot and planets

there is a possiblity that judgement would crash the game though (if you have every joker)

[robust cloud]

i don’t think that’s the case

i think a joker will always spawn at certain locations , it’s just the one that spawns is different

[noble kelp]

Statistics from seeded runs count towards your profile statistics (highest score, most played hand, jokers used, consumables etc.)

[restive cipher]

people hold certain jokers to skip joker in shop to cycle faster and to affect on which card special effects are applied( if the 100th joker is poly you could make the shop skip a few jokers if you already have them to change on which joker it ends up

[robust cloud]

ik that

but i don’t think a tarot will spawn in if there are no jokers that are not a duplicate

lemme search something brb

[restive cipher]

ow you mean that if the shop were to contain a tarot and a joker it wont go for another tarot or planet, but just keep trying to add a joker which is next on the list?

instead of just the next shop item in general

[robust cloud]

found it #📜・bugs-old message

[heavy mauve]

yes

[restive cipher]

never knew

[robust cloud]

that’s why i knew

the more you know

[heavy mauve]

thats also why I knew

[fossil lark]

Unsure what the root cause was but with smeared joker it didn't recognise a 4 card flush and straight as a straight flush. I believe it was a Glass Ace, Wild King, Queen (Offsuit), Lucky Jack and Ten.

Seed: TIRXBCQZ

and again

[quartz pond]

You'd need 4 fingers for that to be considered a flush

[fossil lark]

Ah, of course!

nvm

That would 100% explain it

[robust cloud]

different profiles using the same seed yield different tag results (cards and jokers are the same)

tested seeds:
HALFDECK (not in video)
MINCE
TEST

[soft pulsar]

in the game code some tags have hidden unlockable requirements

Rare tag requires you to discover Blueprint and every edition tag requires you to discover that edition

[robust cloud]

unexplained mechanic moment 😦

[soft pulsar]

This means that if you don’t have the same unlocks, all of the tags will be different (probably)

[robust cloud]

they probably dont cuz if they do it'll be weird

the more you know

[soft pulsar]

The way Balatro picks things, changing the length of the list will completely change the outcomes

This might be a problem in the full game with Jokers, so it’s good to know now

[heavy mauve]

makes sense

[robust cloud]

interesting...

[heavy mauve]

why edit the current list if you could just create a new one, this way you dont complicate things

[soft pulsar]

tags being unlockable in the demo is probably unintended

[robust cloud]

a problem i see with this is the balance (and equity) of challenge runs itf

as different tags can be either helpful or not

[soft pulsar]

on the speedrun server we pretty much banned using fresh profiles for the demo

[robust cloud]

makes sense why now

(eg the investment tag in a seed is way better than foil joker 1/2)

[soft pulsar]

increases odds of spectral pack tag (good for speedruns), makes run much harder to validate

[robust cloud]

oh yea

never thought of that

[soft pulsar]

you would either have to send over your profile to the mods or show your collection and the mods would have to make a profile with all of your unlocked tags

[heavy mauve]

so for seed searcher you look full full profiles with all tags

[soft pulsar]

kinda

so I added that feature in when I was doing the spectral searches earlier today

00001H originally did fresh profile

[robust cloud]

let's move to game discussion to prevent overflow

we can continue there if we want to

[soft pulsar]

or #🌱・seed-chat if it becomes about searching

[heavy mauve]

Im down for some searching lore

[heavy mauve]

I played 1 straight, 1 full house, 1 3oak, one 2 pair, and a pair, and my MOST PLAYED HAND is a pair

more of a "Why pair" when everything is one and that was my worst hand

probably also played a high card but wasnt paying attention

[fading gulch]

you didn't play any high cards

5 + 5 + 3 + 4 +2 = 19

still that is kinda weird

[wary slate]

It has to display something, and it's probably ordered highcard first and then pair and so on if I had to guess

[vague junco]

The game gave me double ups on cards, first got 2 business cards then 2 constellations. Seed: P4J7YNBH Yellow deck, tried it again and didnt seem to give me the double ups again

[hot sail]

Known bug, we call it the White Whale

If you replay the seed exactly the same as the first time (same cards played and everything) then you’d get the bug again

[vague junco]

Sadly the double constellations were deep into the run and i wasnt recording so its lost to the ether

[fading gulch]

[keen girder]

not sure if its my trash computer, but if i reroll and end up with 0 dollars, continuing the run after it just straight crashes the game.

[dusty sandal]

Reroll + save and reload crash is a known bug

your save is basically destroyed

[robust cloud]

not really the save, just the run

i encountered the bug before, but you can start a new run

[dusty sandal]

By save I mean savegame, not profile

[robust cloud]

understandable

thanks for the clarification

[runic holly]

Platform: Steam Deck
Jokers: blueprint, DNA, +2 hand size

After duplicating a card, you end up with a 11-card hand. Afterwards, pressing left when selecting cards fails to select a card (it seems the virtual mouse offset is calculated incorrectly). Pressing right still works

[frigid nova]

anyone know how to solve this

[dusty sandal]

Your game files are probably corrupted

Try verifying in steam

[frigid nova]

i have attempted that

[dusty sandal]

What if you delete balatro.exe and then reverify

[frigid nova]

i will report back

nothing

this has been happening for like 2 weeks

[heavy mauve]

dang

[frigid nova]

ive tried deleting the entire file before

[heavy mauve]

missing out on a good game

[frigid nova]

i know

i was playing

this began happening after i got a massive audio bug

when i force quit to save myself i never knew it was the last time

[sick nova]

Graphics drivers up to date?

[frigid nova]

updating now but i have updated since then

will report once finished

[frigid nova]

yeah latest drivers installed but nothing

[quartz pond]

Delete your settings.jkr file in roaming/Appdata/Balatro, that should hopefully fix it

[frigid nova]

it sure did

thanks

[heavy mauve]

quija and aura always seem to hit the same number

[quartz pond]

What do you mean by 'the same number'?

[queen tide]

coincidence?

[frail axle]

(this might have been brought up before?) after beating a boss blind on ante N:

• the ante increases to N+1,
• the next shop shows the ante N+1 voucher
• run info > blinds shows ante N.
  is this intentional?

[heavy mauve]

sorry, had to do family stuff, whenever I get quija and aura in the same pack, if I savescum I get the same number
Example. I use aura and get foil 9, then savescum and use quija for it to turn everything to nines

dont know if its coincidence that its happened the past 3 times in a row I remember or not

[queen tide]

what happens if ouija converts to a nuber that isnt drawn

[heavy mauve]

what do you mean?

[dusty sandal]

I'm curious how many people are still calling ouija "quija"s

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ouija#English

[heavy mauve]

I swap between them

[amber valley]

ex. getting queens from ouija in abandoned deck

[heavy mauve]

oh

idk I dont do abandoned

didnt know that could happen if Im being 99.9% honest

[heavy mauve]

it was just a coincidence

[wise quiver]

Quickly clicking on your deck when winning against the final blind will cause you to "cash out", followed by "losing" the game (despite having already won.)
(I assume this might be a failsafe in case someone accidentially found a way to skip the boss blind tho.)

[dusty sandal]

Actually just holding Options before winning and letting go afterwards also works

[wise quiver]

I see

[heavy mauve]

same with the run info button

best way to do it is either autoclicking options and spamming esc or holding one of the buttons

[heavy mauve]

I hit escape to go to settings mid tutorial and, well, kinda swapped the discard and play hand buttons

aalso the bug crafted found I had known for past month and I believe Ive told

thats how I keep getting pictures of me on verdant leaf cash out

same thing with play hand

[heavy mauve]

I dont think he expected this LOL

[keen girder]

Pls stop

[heavy mauve]

Im sorry

[soft pulsar]

how do you have two Jokers

Did you make the first shop spawn twice

[heavy mauve]

tutorial makes shop have joker, even if you already have one

you can start a new run if you hit esc before tutorial starts and I continued one where I already had joker, then the shop is the same as tutorial

basically I have an army of jokers

[soft pulsar]

also speaking of white whales I have an idea for how to test for a way to do them consistently

I would do it myself but not home rn

[soft pulsar]

basically find a seed where the first two shops have a joker in common

[heavy mauve]

👀

[soft pulsar]

then buy that joker and do weird menuing until you find a way to spawn that joker twice

if the bug has to do with the game not realizing you already have that joker then it might make it consistent

[heavy mauve]

yeah

[soft pulsar]

ideas I can think of are:

• pausing
• fast menuing (e.g. reroll while joker moves to a joker slot)
• save reloading
• controller hotkeying

[heavy mauve]

Ive thought of that but never found a seed where first 2 shops same jokers

and Im to lazy to find one

also changing from window to fullscreen might do something

[soft pulsar]

even dragging a joker and rerolling might trigger it

It has to be something kinda common if people are getting it frequently enough

[heavy mauve]

true

Im to busy breaking jimbo atm

or... jimbos

[soft pulsar]

if I was home I would also make a “mod” that shows the jokers that the game considers when rerolling

[heavy mauve]

ig

[heavy mauve]

btw game crashes if you try to start the tutorial on verdant leaf

[heavy mauve]

did you try it?

[soft pulsar]

not at home, can’t play rn

[heavy mauve]

still? ok ping me when you start, and sorry for pinging you lol

[soft pulsar]

no worries

I’ll DM you

[silver orchid]

me xd

[heavy mauve]

I thought about that but never got the chance to get it

[vocal moon]

in that situation they should probably just make it so you can get the Secret planet cards

[heavy mauve]

I held R as I was losing and now I have the music playing twice at 2 different points

at once

... obs heard something different from what was playing lol

that or Im going insane but I dont think so

[soft pulsar]

I looked back at the Twitch VOD that had white whales and figured out how to reproduce it!

Seed: WHITE

Before buying the joker to duplicate, when it appears in the shop, do the following:

• Open the joker collection through the options menu
• Go to the page with the joker to be duplicated
• Exit the menu directly
  Any jokers can now reappear in the shop.

After further testing, 00001H and I determined this bug only allows you to have two of the same joker, not any more than that.

[hot sail]

whoah!

so thats why i got more white whales whenever i was doing sticker runs....

[soft pulsar]

random unseeded one to prove its consistency

[dusty sandal]

@quartz pondSorry for ping, but I know where is the broken code.

First, the joker appears in the shop, and is added to used_jokers
Second, the collection is opened, and the joker re-appears. used_jokers does not actually change because it is already considered used.
Then, the collection is closed. The game calls find_joker to see if another copy of the joker is present, and therefore the joker shouldn't be unmarked as used. However, the joker is still in the SHOP, therefore find_joker finds nothing. The joker gets UNMARKED in used_jokers. Whoops.

[soft pulsar]

just updated this guide because I found a more consistent setup

[dusty sandal]

I saw you edit it as I type lol

[soft pulsar]

now time to find a seed with 5 blueprints and dusks combined and poly aura

[dusty sandal]

ow

that's just broken

[soft pulsar]

3^30 = 205,891,132,094,649 just from glass poly aura and dusk, beating drspectred’s run already

Now imagine that with a lvl 20 flush house

[dusty sandal]

That's just the MULT of mult

congrats 👏

[rocky obsidian]

The game doesnt use the same save state for computer and steamdeck.

I played 7 hours at pc but when i installed in my deck i had to start at the beggining with collection at 0.

It isnt a big bug yet because its the demo but imagine it happens when you have almost 100% collection

[robust cloud]

not a bug:

#🕹・game-discussion message

and iirc demo versions of games are not allowed to have cloud saves on steam

[rocky obsidian]

Thanks

[magic hollow]

I have no idea how, but my bar is missing here

and the flames are not there when i score high,

[heavy mauve]

hm

[vocal moon]

flame does not appear when exact number

(e.g. 30x20 vs 600)

[heavy mauve]

but 150 x 18 is above 800

[vocal moon]

i was reporting a different bug

[heavy mauve]

mb

[noble kelp]

I do not feel like it's a bug tho, flames appear and increase based on how much you "overkill" the set goal with played hand.

[magic hollow]

I think exact number causes no flames.

[hot sail]

^ ye

[whole owl]

(excuse the phone screenshot)
is that supposed to happen? white sticker on an undiscovered joker

[robust cloud]

unintended, has been reported before

[whole owl]

ok thanks!

[twilit knoll]

you used that joker in a seeded run and won with it

[noble kelp]

If you play 4oak of the same suit and 1 random card with same suit, it will trigger droll joker even if random card is not scoring

[restive cipher]

it contains a flush doesnt it?

[noble kelp]

played hand (4 of a kind) does not contain a flush (5 cards of the same suit)

[amber valley]

i’d expect it to only count scored cards but i don’t think this outcome is too egregious

i wonder if the same works with like high card

[noble kelp]

that would not work, it would turn into flush because it's higher scoring hand

[amber valley]

Grue

[restive cipher]

your played hand contains 5 of the same suit, the last card might not be scoring, but i would still consider it as contains a flush. Neither one is wrong, just a different interpretation of the same joker

[keen girder]

I had this "bug" happen to me, honestly it makes sense, 4oak is normally the higher scoring hand, but you still plated a flush, it could've been a flush over 4oak, but it chose 4oak because it's the stronger hand

[heavy mauve]

yeah the wording for this does make it a little weird, maybe it should be if the cards PLAYED contain a flush instead of just if hand played contains

[vocal moon]

king-queen-jack-ten (all same suit) with four fingers is counted as royal flush when it should be just straight flush

[keen girder]

honestly, i think you can consider KQJT a Royal flush with four fingies

because four fingers is basically saying theres either a nine or Ace to finish the straight

[robust cloud]

i remember local saying that is it is unintended tho

[hot sail]

yeah it will likely be just AKQJ for royal four fingers

in the full game

[keen girder]

okay guess im stupid then

[hot sail]

nah you just didnt see the one message in the sea of messages that come through this server

[keen girder]

makes sense

[vocal moon]

ceres indicates a full house, but it a flush house

[queen tide]

huh

no the bg of the cards mean a flush

with the checkered thing

[robust cloud]

there isn't a checkered thing for flush house
but notice the subtle "suit colour" difference between them
Ceres having a consistent colour, and Earth having two

i do see neptune with jupiter's checkered thing represent the flush in the straight tho

i guess that's more of an inconsistency than a bug

[twilit knoll]

is that not the same here? maybe i'm misunderstanding smth

[robust cloud]

uh i dont rlly understand what ur trying to say but i guess ill just post these two planets as reference as well

[twilit knoll]

ohhh

i get what you mean

just needed that bit of reference

[queen tide]

literally unplayable

@ localthunk get this fixed stat

[forest linden]

they both have the flush house 😭

[robust cloud]

when you don't see the difference of the colour of the suits in the images that i clearly stated 😐

[forest linden]

ah

[keen girder]

This made me just realize that ceres is shown on the top ui thign showing all the planets, but not planet X

Bad game design

[dusty sandal]

Well, Planet X is not in the solar system, soo...

well that’s interesting

Ive failed my 6th grade earth study teacher

[fair condor]

how do I submit a bug?

The discord overlay flickers a lot when in-game and causes massive frame drops (for me at least).

[keen girder]

thats most likely just issues your pc, or your doing something horribly wrong to your balatro

[fair condor]

its only on balatro tho. and when i close discord it runs smoothly

[keen girder]

then its your discord or smth

[heavy mauve]

whenever you use blueprint on to do list, the task changes each time

[noble kelp]

also I might be misremembering, but I think I noticed that sometimes shop can offer you todo with flush house/5oak when you can do it but didnt do it yet most likely a non issue, can't seem to recreate it

[hard plover]

On Verdant Leaf, I had the newest stone from Marble Joker in the opening hand and it wasn't debuffed (played it to ensure this was not only visual, and it yielded the extra 50 chips).

[heavy mauve]

known bug

[hard plover]

Sorry, haven't seen about it.

[heavy mauve]

you good

[hard plover]

By the way, now that Marble is stickered, that's it for full completion. Time to hear about those million chips build now. 🙂

[heavy mauve]

nice

[autumn dragon]

I found a bug, not a big one, but still :
In this situation, I was supposed to have a Flush (or a Straight, but I guess it would be the Flush as it's supposed to give more points).
But the game gave me a Straight Flush.

(It's because of the Four Fingers joker that I had both Flush & Straight but even with it it's still not supposed to be a Straight Flush 😉 )

[heavy mauve]

thats intended

[raw pelican]

The hand scoring value doesn't override hand ranking

Remove the 4 and you'll have flush if you want that

The 3 sorry

Not 4

[autumn dragon]

Really ? Why ? It's not really intuitive, and not really wanted either is it ?
In my case, it bothered me because I haven't upgraded the Straight Flush as much as the Straight, and so I was doing less points with the Straight Flush as I would with a simple Straight

[heavy mauve]

its annoying but intended

[raw pelican]

What hand do you want to play?

If you want to play straight remove the 5

If you want to play a flush remove the diamond

[autumn dragon]

Yes, that's what I did (I won this game already 😉 ), but I still don't understand how this can be intended ? I don't have a Straight Flush in this situation, even the 4 Fingers don't give me the Straight Flush (If i had my diamond on the Ace or the 5, I would have understood, but here I don't 🤔 )

[raw pelican]

It is indeed unintuitive but that's how hand ranking works

Same way with telescope

[heavy mauve]

you do, you have 4 hearts making a flush and 5 consecutive numbers

and 4 fingers makes it to you only need 4 hearts instead of 5

[raw pelican]

If you have for example 2 hands played the same amount but the lower ranked one is leveled higher it'll still give you the worse one

For example level 2 straight and flush house is something I see often

[soft pulsar]

even if the straight and flush aren’t on the same 4 cards, it is still counted, which is intended

[raw pelican]

Level 2 straight is better but if you played them the same amount you'll get full house

Hand ranking is absolute

[clear robin]

FWIW I use this intended behavior to get a "straight flush" that's like A567 of hearts + 8 of some other suit. The hand is both a straight (5678) and a flush (4 hearts) and therefore a straight flush.

[raw pelican]

This is why if I don't have straights in my celestial I will always buy straight flush if possible

[autumn dragon]

Thanks @raw pelican for the explanations but there is too many things I don't understand here to get what you tell me 😅
-Hand ranking ? What is it ?
-Hand scoring ?
-"2 hands played the same amount but the lower ranked one is leveled higher it'll still give you the worse one" I don't understand anything in this sentence 😅
-Level 2 straight ?
-Flush house ?

[raw pelican]

Plenty jokers help it

"hand ranking" = rarity of hand in normal poker games, so rarer hands are ranked higher

"hand scoring" = chips x mult and the final score that gives

Third point means base flush house is ranked higher than straight since its the rarer hand,
but if you level up your straight to level 2 it'll get more chips and mult compared to a level 1 full house.

Level two straight is 60x7 compared to level one full house which is 40x4

I meant to type straight flush not flush house but flush house is a hand only possible in balatro, a flush house is the same number 3 times in the same suit at another card twice in the same suit also. Basically a combination of full house and a flush

[autumn dragon]

Of, thanks for the detailed explanation, I get what you mean now 🙂

I understand that hand ranking override hand scoring, that's probably easier to do this way for the devs 🙂
I still don't understand why keep this "mechanic" tho (and with the example of @clear robin it looks even more bugged than in mine 🤣 ), but that's not my game so, if that's known and intended, I can't do much more here, but at least I got some new vocabulary 😉

[clear robin]

not bugged. Absolutely intended behavior. I have a 4 card straight, and a 4 card flush, which means it qualifies as a straight flush. It's why SF builds are so viable with abandoned + 4 fingers.

it's possible there could be a mechanic added where you could click on the score section and tell it to score a hand as something different, like for example I did a card-duplication build with 5 of a kind but if I could have scored that as flush house (3 aces + 2 aces) I would have chosen that instead

[autumn dragon]

That's a feature I would like to have as well 😄
In this exemple the game gave you a Four of a Kind ?

[clear robin]

Five of a kind, but not a 5 flush or even flush house

[autumn dragon]

Five of a kind ? That exists ?

[queen tide]

there arent supposed to be flames

[heavy mauve]

when the game idle for long enough flames appear

[uncut kernel]

Saw a visual bug, after selecting my hand, I activated a planet card. After the planet card animation completed, the text in the red box was blank. I was expecting the current hand to still display the hand strength. The screenshot is just after removing and re-adding a card to my hand. The screenshot does not show the bug, but the area where the bug occurred.

[heavy mauve]

did you pre select the cards before they showed up, if so known bug, if it only happened cause planet then maybe known bug and I missed it or bug

[uncut kernel]

The hand strength displayed correctly before playing the planet card. Only after playing the planet card did the text not display. I had to modify my hand again to have the text display.

[terse iron]

Yup, known bug, happened to me too

[uncut kernel]

recorded a video of it just in case

[robust cloud]

that happens to me when my low end device lags (when i lag the flames burn in the shop while the ui goes haywire up and down cuz lag)

[heavy mauve]

Yep

It happens if you hold right click on top of tab when non-windowed

Thats how I learned

[fervent hull]

I don't know if this is in bug reports yet but this seems to be a common enough situation

when I open the game just freezes

[noble kelp]

was reported already I believe? 🤔

the game cannot generate the last planet or something along the lines

[noble kelp]

.

[keen girder]

yeah thats right, basically whats happening is that the mega pack gives 5 planets, but it cant spawn planets in the shop/consume slots. theres only 9 planets ||excluding secret planets|| but since 5 planets are already on screen, it cant show 5 unique planets in the pack, causing the crash

[heavy mauve]

I wonder what happens if you white whale then

[soft pulsar]

plugged in my PS5 controller, idk why but this time the game showed Xbox buttons instead of PS5 buttons

I've used controller several times and this the first time I've seen this

also, when I swap discard/play hand, the controller hotkeys don't work just for that hand

[soft pulsar]

So a debuffed poly glass card should just say "Debuffed" but it instead says "Glass Card" (note: performed on older game version)

[near helm]

When you lose and you press the run info button (seems frame perfect / couldn't replicate it) as you lose, the menu is glitched, you are still in the game, but cannot play or discard any card

[heavy mauve]

Known bug, you can hold doen the button

[nova bough]

Paradox With wild card + boss blind debuffing all hearts: King of club is considered a heart so it's debuffed, but I couldn't make a flush with it and 4 other hearts (so it's considered a heart for the debuff but not a heart for the flush because its ability is disabled). Not sure if it's actually a bug or the intended effect interaction, but I figured I should at least point it out 🙂

[robust cloud]

i think when it is a wild card, it has “heart” in its suits, so the card gets debuffed

but when it’s debuffed, it disables all abilities (including the wild card enhancement)

therefore it becomes an regular king of clubs

but i do see your problem

[dusty sandal]

but then it shouldn't be debuffed, but then---

Bug report - The "On Fire" effect over the numbers only occurs when the point total is above the total blind, but if you exactly equal it there is no fire, it might not be a bug but I think it's super confusing

[queen tide]

its not a bug

[hexed acorn]

ok

[clear robin]

possible bug: a couple times I've gotten a spectral "golden seal" and it's gone on the wrong card. I thought maybe it was a misclick the first time it happened a couple days ago, but I made sure I clicked correctly the second time and it went on a different card from what I'd highlighted. I had +2 hand size from juggler and -1 from spectral turning a joker negative, so it may have been confused about the card index somehow.

[amber valley]

gold seal is placed randomly

👍

[vocal moon]

after the psychic tells you "must play 5 cards" if you press play hand anyway it lets you play them

[soft pulsar]

intended

[vocal moon]

as a softlock prevention if your hand doesn't have 5 cards?

[soft pulsar]

That, or if you want to use it as a discard

[vocal moon]

no i said if you press 'play hand'

[soft pulsar]

I mean as if you are discarding them

maybe you have 4/5 cards needed for a flush and want to throw away the last 4, and don’t care about them scoring

[vocal moon]

that's pressing 'discard'

[soft pulsar]

…when you run out of discards

but still want to set up for a high scoring hands, so you are forced to use up a played hand

[vocal moon]

ah

[clear robin]

could use a clearer explanation. "If you press 'play' again, these cards will play but not be scored."

[hollow crag]

game froze after loading the description of a joker before the shop had fully loaded in after continuing a game that I paused and returned to the main menu

NEVERMIND IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAVE FILE ITSELF

where do I find the save file

so I can upload it and maybe a dev can see what went wrong

[amber valley]

save file freezes if you save quit after a boss

[noble kelp]

%appdata%/Balatro

/1/save.jkr is your current run in profile #1

[primal crest]

I have a issue with my game. I can't launch the game if I don't restart my computer. I think there is a conflic.
I play at call of duty too. And i have many app like teams for my work. On steam, Balatro is launched, and my list of task, I see Balatro.exe too.

Do you have an idea for that ?

[noble kelp]

As it was said above, this happens when you load the save after quitting to menu when you defeated a boss blind

It is a well known bug that is quite simple to recreate, the save file is not necessary

[hollow crag]

missed that message

[dark dove]

i have this problem too and i don't know why

[peak magnet]

I can't directly verify, but @noble kelp might have insight above?

[noble kelp]

I was pointing them #📜・bugs-old message at this #📜・bugs-old message message, Idk why do you ping me 😭

[noble kelp]

Not sure if it's intended, but if you hold R to restart a run and click on the boss reroll skip, the restart will be delayed by the boss reroll animation

[dark dove]

wait, you can just hold r to restart a run?

[hot sail]

Yep!

If it’s unseeded it’ll start a new run, seeded will restart that same seed

However if you’re resuming a game after closing balatro, it’ll start a brand new run regardless of if it was seeded beforehand

ok then

[quartz acorn]

dont know if this is a bug, but just in case

got at a point to no card can be play due the blind

no way to end the play other than going to main menu

still and interesting lockplay

[robust cloud]

not a bug, you can still play the hand and it will go through (play the exact hand twice without swapping cards)

it just prevents you from playing the hand initially as some people played hands that are not allowed by accident which was pretty punishing (most notably on the psychic, where you HAVE to play 5 cards)

[quartz acorn]

actually i try to play any posible hand with those cards and was unable to do it, i play a flush before that, then draw the cards that are on the screenshot

[robust cloud]

that means you can only play flushes because of the boss

[quartz acorn]

i forgot to mention that the previos hand was a flush

[robust cloud]

boss says "play ONLY 1 hand type (flushes) this round"

you can play any other hand twice in a row, and it will go through, but wont score

and i mean exact same formation of cards

no softlock here

[heavy mauve]

^

[quartz acorn]

i try that and the boss tell wont let me play other hands to try and get another hands, it appears the text that said, "play only one hand type this round", and lock the play hand buttons

[robust cloud]

thats cuz you played a flush

[quartz acorn]

didnt save the seed to try it again, maybe i was doing something wrong

[robust cloud]

you can only play flushes

when you play a invalid hand, the boss warns you by preventing you from playing it

[heavy mauve]

^

[robust cloud]

you can then play the hand anyway by pressing play hand again

without doing anything

the boss will discard the hand. but you can then have a chance at playing another valid hand

I hope full game its more clear

your not the first and definetly not the last person to ask this

[quartz acorn]

maybe i mistaken click and show again the message, gonna pay atetion next time

[dark pier]

Had an issue where after playing a hand, the audio was glitchy and REALLY LOUD. I closed the game manually and after re-opening, I have this message on screen

no clue

[soft pulsar]

Try deleting %AppData%\Balatro\settings.jkr, it appears to be an issue with that file

[heavy mauve]

(next time theres I file problem Im gonna assume its that)

[noble kelp]

Was probably reported, but if you enter shop with 5 jokers and sell one, the judgement doesn't have "buy & use" option

[heavy mauve]

its same with all tarots

[torpid geyser]

Black screen when I put my PC on sleep

[keen girder]

are you joking with that or is it a real bug I can't tell

[twin cloud]

Hi, this is my first message in the discord so let me know if I should do something differently. I have two bugs. The first I bet people have already reported which is that when you back out of the shop after beating the boss of ante 5 you are taken back to the boss fight before you played the last hand. The second is that I had a bluescreen which was caused by Balatro.exe. When examining the dump file in WINDBG it said "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (1a)
# Any other values for parameter 1 must be individually examined.

[heavy mauve]

1st part not a bug to my knowledge and a decision, and 2nd try to go onsteam and clean files and if that doesnt work go to %appdata%\Balatro and delete it

[twin cloud]

Thanks for the reply. Interesting that it was a decision to let you go back to the last hand of ante 5. I've been doing more digging and it looks like the crash is probably a hardware issue on my end and I just happened to crash while playing Balatro

[heavy mauve]

👍 What im here for

[keen girder]

average

[heavy mauve]

🙄 Ping me for that

[queen tide]

ping people for no reason

its funny

[heavy mauve]

True

@ localthunk

[fading gulch]

[heavy mauve]

Lol

[twilit knoll]

seriously

[dusty sandal]

Deleting %appdata%\Balatro will erase all game data though

[peak magnet]

please don't...

[fading mesa]

Encountered a bug where the audio stopped, began playing on a small (~5 sec) loop, and the game froze entirely after roughly 2 minutes like that.

I had disconnected an HDMI cable to an external display just before the issue started, and ended up needing to restart my machine since I couldn't close the game.

[peak magnet]

sounds like a possible sound driver issue? does your external display have speakers by chance?

[noble kelp]

After glass card is broken with immolate, there's a very short frametime spike (the game freezed for like 0.3 sec)
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1156721486288126023/1184970043361087579/R_12-14_22-11-12.mp4?ex=658de85a&is=657b735a&hm=6a88fd5360be62efa0fa7c304d3b86ccbdbbfe3ce9add93e9d16d2649cbbee8d&

[heavy mauve]

I think thats just how immolate works, that or Im going insane, again

[quartz pond]

Am I incredibly old or did the video not show any stutter/freeze?

[noble kelp]

Easier to see on pc, I am in bed now, soo uhm yea

Would make a recording slowed down

[quartz pond]

I'll poke around that code to see if anything weird is going on

[heavy mauve]

we would need a comparison of one with glass and one without

[noble kelp]

There's also another thing with glass, they delay played cards being sent to the deck even if they didn't get broken, I assume the delay is for the breaking animation, but it's kinda annoying to have delay when they don't break

[noble kelp]

Oh nevermind, I made a slowdown, and it seems like there's no missing frames

Idk why it felt like there was a stutter

[heavy mauve]

lets go, Im not insane. ||Or atleast not this time||

[noble kelp]

The 2 right cards snapping to middle might be why it felt so

[restive cipher]

holding down printscreen also gives insane lag spikes

[frail axle]

if you buy Overstock, which refills the shop with an editioned joker, the sound effect will play a bit too early

[soft pulsar]

#🕹・game-discussion message
Not sure if this is intended behavior (would be cool if it was though)

[heavy mauve]

meant to happen

its wide known at least, Id be surprisedd if it wasnt

[hot sail]

Unintended but being left in because “it’s funny”

#📜・bugs-old message

[primal scaffold]

The cards are face down when sorted by color, and you can still guess the color even when they are turned over

[hot sail]

that's intended :) it's like a little puzzle

[maiden hemlock]

if the game ever became unlimited - there's a bug where if there are fewer jokers left available than there are slots in the shop the game crashes. E.g. if you have 43 jokers equipped and 3 slots in the shop then the game crashes on a reroll. Obviously this is not going to be an issue now but if someone is on a crazy unlimited run and this happens it would be devestating.

[restive cipher]

i think local has already taken that into account

[maiden hemlock]

for the next update? i just tested it and it crashed

[restive cipher]

i assume it would be for the demo in febuari or the full release

[frail axle]

I apparently got a "new discovery" in a run, but my collection percentage didn't increase

left: stats a while before the run. right: stats immediately after the run

[heavy mauve]

yeah Ive noticed this but people say that they probably unlocked something new

did you use aura?

[frail axle]

no, but I think I used Talisman

[heavy mauve]

might be that you got talisman on new card and thought new discovery

[frail axle]

I'm fairly sure I used Grim, then Talisman

[heavy mauve]

though that proobably isnt it, best thing I can think of

[frail axle]

I've definitely used Grim and Talisman before

[clear robin]

Was the run seeded?

[frail axle]

no (you can see the seed is with a black background in the screenshot)

[heavy mauve]

yeah its just that maybe you used talisman and it ht that was a new discovery or ismaned and thought that was a new discovery or something, thats why I asked about aura cause Ive had some runs with aura that said new discoveries

[frail axle]

I did buy some editioned jokers

(holographic, foil)

[vocal moon]

maybe editions are counted in "new discoveries" but not in the percaentage

[quartz pond]

New Joker sticker?

[heavy mauve]

oh true

maybe it was that

[frail axle]

I'm fairly sure I got all Joker stickers before, although I might have miscounted

here's a picture I took yesterday, so it couldn't have been Supernova

and Sep 25 I posted the following list of jokers that I supposedly didn't have stickers for: jimbo golden stone 8 astronomer delayed business scary dusk todo

maybe it was the 8-ball sticker?

[heavy mauve]

maybe cause 8 ball does suck late game

[frail axle]

I don't have a screenshot of me winning with 8ball, so maybe that was it

absolutely absurd "I don't expect this to ever get fixed" visual bug: in the New Run screen, you can drag the top card of the deck. when dragging, the card appears on everything else... but when you release the drag, the card appears underneath:

• the description of the deck
• the right deck selection button (NOT the left)
• the "seeded run" button and text
• the PLAY button

[heavy mauve]

known bug

#📜・bugs-old message

[frail axle]

wow, great memory

I couldn't find anything through a quick search

[heavy mauve]

I have great memory for some things, like math, but put a gun to my head I cant remember some names lol

I think my memory is really good if it is older info that Ive seen a few times vs reading a book and having to remember a persons name that was in another language

[noble kelp]

Same happens with voucher redeem animation

[noble kelp]

When hand is played, you can't unselect all selected cards with right click

[heavy mauve]

ik what you mean but you are saying it in a way that most people dont know what you mean

[noble kelp]

I just need one person to understand smh but edited

[heavy mauve]

🙄

[noble kelp]

1. Click play hand
2. Select cards
3. Press right click
   normally pressing right click would unselect all cards

[tough creek]

I mean its back to normal when the hand finishes playing, its not like there's much to deselect after you have played a hand anyway, but i guess its probably unintentional

[dark dove]

well, at least you can still unselect cards individually with left click

[heavy mauve]

True

[twilit knoll]

shadowbulb's vocabulary:

• lol
• true
• ???

/j

[heavy mauve]

True

Dont forget nice

Its just way easier to type tiny words instead of that was very funny 😆

Just a simple lol works

Also welcome to tmr technically est

[noble kelp]

Another thing, if you play a hand (lets say 1 high card), and select cards while hand is being played (lets say flush), after hand is finished playing, the menu on the left does not say that you have a flush selected

was probably reported I'd assume, but just in case

[dusty sandal]

Yeah, known

[noble kelp]

Apparently you can catch, select and swap cards while they're being drawn? 😹
(the seed is QYJZHHMP, I replayed and it's definitely not the seed)

I feel like this bug could stay tbh, it's a funny one

[heavy mauve]

not rlly a bug

try it at 0.5x speed and you can do it 10x easier

[noble kelp]

I do not think it was necessarily intended behaviour, unless it was confirmed?

as I said, it's not gamebreaking, it's a funny one, so I dont mind it staying

[heavy mauve]

its just you drawing the cards and moving them

I do it all the time after getting tarot cards

you can glitch them out by holding them and such

[noble kelp]

and same happens with using Sigil, Ouija and other spectrals that change cards, run doesnt restart until all cards are changed

[orchid hawk]

If you sell 2 jokers in verdant leaf, the blind icon bounces twice despite the blind ability already having been removed

[robust cloud]

not a bug, as technically speaking the sell still triggers the ability

[orchid hawk]

Until one joker sold not until two jokers sold

[noble kelp]

^

[robust cloud]

hmm 🤔

yeah i guess it’s based on interpretation

[clear robin]

if it says "a joker is sold", then any time a joker is sold it'll bounce. If it says "one joker" then the first joker should trigger it and then it should stop.

[noble kelp]

It was already said that it says, but here

[chilly viper]

i just had a wild king of clubs not count itself for a flush when there was another king of spades in it. the game assumed that i played a pair even though all the correct cards to have a flush were in play.

[heavy mauve]

pic?

[chilly viper]

unfortunatly i dont have one. it happened too fast

[heavy mauve]

was the wild disabled?

[chilly viper]

basically

[robust cloud]

were you happening to play the plant?
or by chance have or dont have smeared joker?

[chilly viper]

i was not playing the plant and did not have a smeared joker

[robust cloud]

what type of flush were you going for

[heavy mauve]

I believe the king was disabled that had wild

[chilly viper]

spades

no cards in the hand were debufed

[heavy mauve]

no? ok then

[robust cloud]

what were the 5 cards you played? exact 5 cards

maybe you missed something?

[chilly viper]

i dont remember which nembers were there but as soon as i notices what was going on i did a sweep of the hand and it was in fact 4 spades cards and the wild king. im really sorry i dont have a picture, it would have helped a lot

[heavy mauve]

idk then

[robust cloud]

do you happen to have the seed of the game? if so then you can try to recreate it?
if not then idk then

[chilly viper]

i dont

[robust cloud]

oof

[heavy mauve]

either you mis saw and 1 was a.club or weird 1 in a mil bug

[robust cloud]

yea, that seems like the only possibilities

[heavy mauve]

anyways, sleep time

[chilly viper]

I just figured out what happened, it was my fault. my memory failed me, i was a fool. I was playing the plant. when you had asked my mind read it as the leaf and i knew for a fact i wasnt playing the that. i really dont know why in my memory there were no debufed cards but i got to the plant again in another run and facepalmed preaty hard. anyways, sorry about all this and thank you for your help.

[robust cloud]

nw

in general terms the wild card was debuffed, so it doesn’t act as a wild card anymore, hence it not making a flush

[steep quiver]

I believe I had a bug where I had the Joker that let me play flushes/straights with four cards. When I played a flush with three suited connectors and one that was wildly away using four cards, then played an off-suit connector, it would count the hand as a straight flush.

Example, 2H-3C-4C-5C-QC would count as a straight flush.

[sick nova]

this is correct and intended. You have a 4 card straight. You have a 4 card flush. Therefore you have a straight flush.

It's a fun and strong synergy

[noble kelp]

same bug happened to me

also cards in hand count is missing too

I think it happens because the game thinks I am still in tarot/spectral pack UI? 🤔

restart fixes it

[steep quiver]

that's honestly hot, thanks lol

[vocal moon]

yeah. there's a straight and a flush

[noble kelp]

Also if you click restart run (R) while cards are being changed, the input is ignored (so the run does not restart)

[heavy mauve]

spamming paste seed makes box go extremely white

[soft pulsar]

Pretty sure I reported that already

[heavy mauve]

I wouldnt doubt it

[soft pulsar]

^

also this

[heavy mauve]

dang, wasnt even that long ago, crazy

[restive cipher]

upgrading a card hand while holding it resets the current hand back to 0x0 while showing no hand selected

dont know if it affects scoring

dont keep up too much with bug reports, so not sure if this one has been metioned

probably has been though

[heavy mauve]

idk what you mean kas, can you video it?

[noble kelp]

using planet card while having the hand of the planet selected

[heavy mauve]

ohhh

[restive cipher]

a example:
you are currently holding a straight. This wil give you some number of chips and mult. it also show you have a straight selected. now you use your planet card for straight(saturn?). the chips and mult go down to 0. it also doesnt show up as straight anymore. it acts like you dont have any cards selected, until you deselect a card

[heavy mauve]

it should just be visual and yes saturn is straights

[restive cipher]

i mostly play flush house so started doubting myself

[heavy mauve]

I did it

though its acually any hand

[restive cipher]

using any planet?

or do you mean, because every hand has a planet

[heavy mauve]

used mercury and changed high card

mercury is pairs btw

[restive cipher]

i feel like someone must have reported this already

seems too common for it to go unnoticed

[heavy mauve]

I feel like its common but not obvious

and normally I dont use planets mid round

[restive cipher]

superposition in newest challenge run is the reason i found out

[heavy mauve]

lol

[cursive shell]

Not sure what causes it but when save scumming on my steam deck the game froze right here. this has happened at least two other times always in a shop

[heavy mauve]

savescumming after bosses after rerolling does it

[modest blaze]

how is this a royal flush? I have the joker that lets you make straights with 4 cards

[hot sail]

4 fingers lets you make a straight flush out of a 4-card flush and a different 4-card straight, and that straight happens to be AQKJ which gives you royal

[modest blaze]

Interesting, Ill keep that in mind :D

[keen girder]

silly game, thats not the full deck

[rustic gazelle]

I cant use hanged man tarot card off of the fool

its grayed out no matter how many cards I select

[terse iron]

The Fool spawns the card rather than doing its effect

Use the Fool without selecting any cards and it will give you a Hanged Man

[rustic gazelle]

It was greyed out with 1 or 2 cards selected

screenshot doesnt show it but hanged man was last card

[amber valley]

you need a consumable slot open

[rustic gazelle]

devil and sun werent greyed out

[amber valley]

read the effect of fool

[terse iron]

As I said above, it will add a Hanged Man to your consumables slot. You can’t use it because your slots are full.

[rustic gazelle]

got it

[frail axle]

this happened again - I can guarantee that I've already gotten all joker stickers already, and I didn't use any spectrals

is it an 8ball interaction?

[clear robin]

as I was playing on my PC, the game started acting like it was expecting input from a controller. This made it really difficult to play -- I had to do a lot of "click really fast before it has time to think something cancelled." And it was giving button names that don't match any controller I have -- things like right/left triggers. I have an old racing wheel and a joystick, but neither one appears active.

I often think games should have a key binding or setting to ignore controller inputs, like, I'm not playing with a controller but if one happens to get wiggled, a lot of games end up becoming uncontrollable until a restart or smth

[vocal moon]

that's because it's steamdeck controls not a standard controller

[clear robin]

I thought it looked like the steam deck controls from wifey's brief play session, but that's a completely separate account. I don't have a steam deck and she was on her own account when she looked at the demo. (And it triggered mid-game, like, ante 2 or 3.)

[vocal moon]

i think those are just the default steam deck controls

[soft pulsar]

Balatro is a broken game

https://youtu.be/YUxGr2Uu6N4?si=v97v-vk07A1huKHp

[heavy mauve]

As the demo closes to the new year, me and math found this bug on how to play more than 5 cards
This can lead to lots of broken funny images but the glitch is super super super super super inconsistent to do
Another thing is this is like the hand dupe bug and I came up with the name Ghost Hand or GH but the public can decide on a name

Also Im back from vacation

[soft pulsar]

In this video, I’m using a macro to automatically pause and unpause the game very quickly, as well as automatically click the play hand button quickly. Doing this causes the event manager(?) to screw up in rare occassions, letting the hand play but saving the game and giving you the opportunity to play another hand. By savescumming you can keep your hand in play permanently… hence the name

[heavy mauve]

here are some funny pictures

[soft pulsar]

This can be used to beat the high score glitched WR… and can even theoretically yield higher scores than hand duplication… but that’s not likely to happen with less than 12 hours until the demo’s closure

[noble kelp]

High Card15 is an interesting hand as well 😭

[heavy mauve]

lol

[heavy mauve]

there is also this image https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1116389312364302397/1191120256173883532/Screenshot_2023-12-24_174004.png?ex=65a4482f&is=6591d32f&hm=498f31aa099f6fdd8aad0d5c51883e25ea32f7d9c07136acac813161818df956& these cards arent playing, but the flush house is 204 x 20? its just a visual glitch since I have to touch a card, but if it was scoring chips and we repeated it somehow then inf points

[heavy mauve]

weirdly silent lol

[twilit knoll]

yeah

you would think that the server would be more lively the day the demo stops

[heavy mauve]

yeah

especially with new glitch being found

[heavy mauve]

local do you know if you are able to patch this bug for next demo or do you need time to answer this question

[hollow gust]

Thunk, btw, did you ever patch the Hiker + Enhancements bug?
(in which applying an Enhancement to a card removed all Hiker progress)

[waxen ether]

(or the other one where Stone cards gain bonus Hiker chips but don't display them in tooltip)

[robust cloud]

(iirc they do but they merge into stone cards bonus chips [eg: hiker gave 5 chips, result is "+55 bonus chips"] )

[waxen ether]

Nah it still read +50 , at least when I encountered this multiple times during sept demo

[sick nova]

The +1 in Negative and Antimatter are different colours, even though they apply the exact same effect to the same 'stat'. Also inconsistent capitalisation of Slot.

[quartz pond]

Typo was fixed, and the colours actually are the same! (If you look at it in game, it changes gradually)

it says polychrome at the top

and it says edition
