Not sure if this is a "bug reports" or if it's known and just an enhancement request. Logged onto a laptop and my collection was pretty bare bones, but it did keep the different stakes I had unlocked etc.
But because it reset collection it also didn't keep the other deck unlocks (only had some basic ones)
I'm leaning more towards bug, because it leaves you with stuff like this

was a pretty common bug but I thought this got fixed in the last update? if your disk drives are symlinked it might be fixed by the recent experimental update

This was happening to me before a certain date/update as well, and it isn’t happening for me anymore. I’d strongly recommend making a backup for the entire directory of the good version before you start trying to apply this update/sync across devices. I almost lost mine because my laptop version with nothing unlocked tried to replace my desktop version with many hours in it

What would I be making a back up of? Local game files?
Was hoping at worst steam would do the thing where it says there's a mismatch between cloud and local and I could choose to just keep the local files

Backup your entire Balatro directory at root-directory/users/~username~/appdata/roaming/balatro
Copy/paste the directory so the archive has a new/different name, or make a zip file of the whole thing
rigid geyser
Backup your entire Balatro directory at root-directory/users/~username~/appdata/...
Figured

Ahhhh I'll try the experimental. Read it and had no ides what symlink was so I didn't pay it much mjnd
worn field
make sure to back up first! it might cause a further rollback

@worn field any ideas if I got home and totally blanked on backing it up first...
worn field
maybe disconnect from internet before loading steam and disable the game's cloud sync for testing? stopping it from syncing should preserve the cloud save and stop the cloud from overwriting the hard drive save ahh oops, misunderstood your message. unfortunate

I did a shadowpatch on 1.0.0k to attempt to fix this issue - if that didn't fix it then I am pretty certain this is something to do with steamcloud
(undocumented change from a few days ago)
Oh also - there was another slightly different issue I fixed on the experimental branch
Which will be pushed to default soon
rigid geyser
I'll probably grab the experimental branch, but I think it's too late now since I overwrote my local with the steamcloud
Glad to hear it's fixed for the future though

<@988216939732164679> any ideas if I got home and totally blanked on backing it...
Yeah if all your locals are bad and you don't have backups of any sort, then you're probably out of luck
austere sorrel
I don't want to just blame steamcloud - but at this point the game doesn't actually ever delete progress files unless you click the button to reset your profile. And I have had this happen with other games using steamcloud and multiple devices in the past
I almost disabled steamcloud entirely 2 days ago because of this
copper swallow
Yeah, what I've experienced here very similary to stuff I've had happen between my desktop and laptop from Steam Cloud a couple of times over the past few years
rigid geyser
Might see if there are older version of the steam cloud save still in steam cloud
based on some quick googling
otherwise I'll accept the L and keep grinding out gold stake :)
copper swallow
Worth a try. I've never had luck with that, but I've always had hope I'd get a recovery that way lol
Yeah, otherwise that's a bummer, but at least it happened within the first week and now you can be more careful. When I've had this happen before, I normally get paranoid and start making archived backups every now and then just to be safe
worn field
I ended up turning off steam cloud sync ages ago, now I just carry around a usb stick of my saves
rigid geyser
I was so prepared to make backups
austere sorrel
Is steam cloud generally like this?
rigid geyser
Winnable?
copper swallow
In my experience, Steam Cloud can have hiccups, but is generally smooth. I feel like after I get a hiccup "sorted out" for a specific game, that game is generally good indefinitely too
It's good enough generally that I get lazy about making backups and stuff, so when the odd issue happens, it burns me sometimes
rigid geyser
nope, they were old enough that I have some more unlocks, but none of my stake wins
rather keep those lol
austere sorrel
Oh uhhh hold on those are different files
If you keep the 'profile.jkr' for the stake wins and the 'meta.jkr' for your unlocks you should be set
like mix and match
copper swallow
Probably disable Steam Cloud before you do that, just to be safe
Make your best version you can with sync still turned off and then archive it before turning Steam Cloud back on
worn field
I know this might be pretty obvious but maybe the multiple parts of the save files have something to do with it? it's loading one without the other, keeping stake unlocks without the collection
austere sorrel
Well my hunch here is that it's steam cloud because Balatro has had multiple save files for 8 months and this has never been an issue until now (since now is the first time the game has steam cloud)
Other than the code I changed a few days ago
copper swallow

When I was having this specific issue, I was stuck with exactly this happening for a while
austere sorrel
Besides that, steam cloud is the only factor that has changed really
rigid geyser
aight well since they're older, they're a little behind, but they have the stakes and most unlocks. Unlocked but not discovered, which is funny. But I'll take it
copper swallow
I wonder how many folks with this issue have had the old demo/playtest/new demo before retail and still had directories in there and if that could be related
rigid geyser
thanks everyone for the thoughts
copper swallow
I know I did
rigid geyser
I wonder how many folks with this issue have had the old demo/playtest/new demo ...
might be something, because I still don't have my deck unlocks, but it kept yellow and abandoned
which were the 2 from Sept demo
copper swallow
I had all 5 legendaries come in from the playtest/original demo at one point in my process for trying to recover my stuff
rigid geyser
at least it gives me an exucse to play red deck red stake
nice break from blue deck gold stake lmao
lol I got a soul -> yorrick (previously only unlocked legendary) in first tarot pack I opened
Jimbo is looking over me 🙏
rigid geyser
fun fact end to this saga, in case anyone was curious: After beating the game once on Red deck (red stake), it triggered all other deck unlocks that I had previously
so another small victory

Disabling Steam Cloud seems to have fixed this for me. The collection wasn't persisting, but it looked like it was fixed by the experimental beta, but unlocks were gone again today - reverted to the latest non-experimental and disabled steam cloud and it looks like it's working fine! Some things I had unlocked (e.g. palette voucher) have been relocked, and I have white/red etc stickers on "undiscovered" cards in the collection, but that won't take long to rediscover!
It was just the collectoin that wasn't persisting, other things like stats and stake level were saved fine, weird cloud bug!
