PS5 still on version 1.0.0b

[thin swallow]

Playstation 5 is still at version 1.0.0b ? Is this due to the new age label/rating? Which is also the reason why the store shows the game as not bought? As the version I bought was the original before it was taken down?

[graceful void]

console updates slower

[thin swallow]

Yeah i get that but someone stated the ps4 version had the update already. That's why wondered why the ps5 version didn't. And the game should be ps4/ps5 version if you buy it, but I can only download/play the ps5 version somehow. I thought that might be caused by the game beeing removed and later added to store again.

[graceful void]

idk then

[velvet totem]

Same version as Xbox Series X, I’m also waiting for the new patches (actually, patchnotes channel is not mentioning this specific version 1.0.0b)

[hollow ferry]

I am waiting for new patch for PS5 and then I will buy the game

[thin swallow]

Did you get it before the rating changed ? The playstation store seems to show it a new game. I was wondering if that version did get the update. That would make the original version unplayable, so I hope not.

[fast sand]

if you access the ps store while logged in, does it say you own the game or does it present the option to purchase it?

it'd be really odd if the consoles didn't have the m patch

since switch has had it for some time and they've been sent out to all consoles at the same time afaik

[thin swallow]

So if I go to the product page it says buy or try with ps+ premium.

If I search for the game it says in library and buy. If I go to the library version it shows the installed ps5 version.

[thin swallow]

^

Also in the app it says I can buy it but already have a different version in my possession. Ps5 only while the console store only shows ps4/ps5 version

[fast sand]

ok, that's a problem. i'll try to pass the info to some higher-ups

@zinc veldt sorry for pinging, but you seem to have a line to the thunker, and this seems quite a problem

[thin swallow]

The OG version apperantly is a ps5 only version. While the new version is ps4/ps5.

I'm not eager to buy the game again . As the version I have now, apperantly doesn't update.

[hollow ferry]

Hello guys. I just bought the current version of Balatro on PS store. It’s PS4 and PS5 compatible version because it’s description is PS4/PS5. I installed PS5 version because I have PS5.
I can confirm that the current version of update is 1.0.0b-FULL.
Guys if You have PS4, could You write which update do You have?

[calm breach]

ps4 and ps5 have different version names. Just download the ps4 version, it’s up to date.

[hollow ferry]

Good to know thanks.
But I don’t want to play ps4 version because there is chance that the developer will introduce haptic feedback or adaptive triggers options in the future. And it’s only for PS5 controller. Or graphical changes on consoles.
@marsh monolith

[marsh monolith]

i literally can't download the ps4 version

[hollow ferry]

@koza I just downloaded and installed PS4 version to know if it’s true or myth that PS4 version is updated and PS5 isn’t. It’s true I can confirm it too. PS4 version is 1.0.0L-Full

[thin swallow]

Same can only download ps5 version. As the original was ps5 only

[marsh monolith]

what a scam, no way I'm buying the same game twice though

[hollow ferry]

We need to wait for PS5 update probably. It would be interesting to know when 1.0.0L was released for PS4.
I don’t know why PS5 wasn’t updated and PS4 was. Was PS5 version even updated at least once since release?

[fast sand]

nope, b was the release version. the whole thing is really weird, but the fact that neither of the different ps5 versions is updated yet gives some hope that someone is aware of the situation (playstack hasn't said a word yet about it)

[thin swallow]

No it has been 1.0.0b since the start. The ps4 update was a few days back.

I contacted playstation and hope they give me the ps4/ps5 version. As that is what the console store says I have. Even though the app shows I have ps5 only version.
I'm not getting the content I should get.

Then I could play the ps4 version untill the ps5 gets updated. Arm / wheel / 50 instead of 30 chips / etc.

[hollow ferry]

I understand but I will wait for PS5 version because I have PS5. My progress maybe would be lost if I would play ps4 version and later started to play PS5. And PS5 controller has feature which PS4 doesn’t so maybe they will be implemented later

[thin swallow]

True. Allthough most games do transfer data from ps4 to ps5.

[hollow ferry]

I like dead cells for example and dead cells doesn’t transfer.

[thin swallow]

I would be "sad" if I got the new version and have to unlock everything again on ps5. But in the end I'd rather have a updated version.

Also the Ps5 version is fine . It just has things like the arm dropping lvl to 0 , wheel having 1 in 5 and foil giving 30 instead of 50 chips.

I still enjoy the game.

[half pond]

Yeah I really hope it updates soon, I don't want to lose all my progress but I also don't want to play a less good version of the game

Think of how many wheels I could've hit 🤡

[marsh monolith]

25% more of them

[half pond]

And they could've made better foils

[velvet totem]

On Xbox there is only one version since it was launched with “Smart Delivery” that applies to both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, and 1.0.0b is shown on both consoles. So although it may be a different situation from that of PS5, the latest generation consoles are pending updates.

I think that both Playstack and the developer are aware because is so obvious to notice. Also, the other day I read it was related to having a slower certification process and that they wanted to have the translations ready before making the next console release... but everything is assumption until we have official confirmation

Also, here’s localthunk himself talking about releases and disparity:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/s/wucmKk40Lv

[fast sand]

sadly, thunk's comment is about the consoles being behind on updates, not on the clusterfuck that are the multiple ps store versions … getting no word about it from playstack officials is also … not optimal

[hollow ferry]

The game has potential to be released in box version for consoles which should include ALL important languages, so maybe we will have to wait…

[thin swallow]

There's so much things they have to keep in mind and systems they need to work with. So I don't mind later release date for game /updates

But like ly said, on playstation at least, there apperantly is ps5 only version. While it should be ps4/ps5.

So it feels like people who bought it on release are beeing "punisht" for beeing early. If I bought it 1 or 2 weeks later I'd had both, for example.

Also the playstation shows 1 version, so the issue might be theirs. I'll keep you updated when/if supports sends a response.

[marsh monolith]

the language translation for polish at least is quite garbage

[hollow ferry]

So they will need to patch this and the other languages and people will have to wait for ps5 update probably

[marsh monolith]

i unfortunately can't submit improvements to the forms from my own screenshots because there's no way to do so

[thin swallow]

Playstation just send me an email how to update a game... with 0 response to my question where the ps4 version is ans why my version is ps5 only.

You know one of those generic emails with zero regards to my email/questions.

To be continued

[half pond]

Is there any way of contacting the dev/Playstack? It would be great to know if they're aware of this.

[fast sand]

@feral oracle are you aware there's two different versions of the game floating around the playstation store? the one, ps5 only, did not receive the 1.0.0m patch

it's the app version people bought before the ratings change

[hollow ferry]

I have found post on Reddit from Localthunk, he said that consoles will get their first update after languages will be added to the game. Languages are in poor state, at least Polski language so they cannot be updated yet.
The only exception is PS4. It is updated.
Both PS5 version - current PS4/PS5 and the first PS5 only version are 1.0.0b. They are waiting for languages to be implemented in final form.
I think Your version will be the same like mine which is PS4/PS5. Do You know game Stardew Valley? This game isn’t on PS5 store or app if you use PS5. But You can still buy it and play from store from web browser

[fast sand]

i know that post, but it is not referring to the ps store mess which is about more than some versions just not being updated

playstack cannot keep quiet forever, so we'll know what's happening sooner or later :D

[hollow ferry]

Who is playstack?

[fast sand]

the game's publisher

[hollow ferry]

Making 2 different version on ps store at the beginning was nonsense. Because it’s the pixel art game, which looks the same, graphics is the same. Why 2 versions… 😀 Maybe Sony is responsible for it, I doubt that publisher can decide this

[fast sand]

agreed, the fuck-up part is surely on sony

[marsh monolith]

we won't be able to do anything without getting the dev/publisher involved

[thin swallow]

I finally got a human looking in to it. They're getting back to me tomorrow. They'l hopefully give me the ps4 version aswell. Not that it matters much.

And if not, in the comming weeks we'll see a ps5 update. I hope.

[thin swallow]

The true fuck up is the rating agencies. They talked and it was 6 and all good. And suddenly nah to many people playing let's up it to 18.

Making stores having to drop the game. And adding it to the stores with a new rating/ page and entry in the system.

[half pond]

Ah I'm glad you finally got a response!

[thin swallow]

It's now send to the right department. And they're looking in to it.

[fast sand]

imagine it's you solving this thing for everyone

[thin swallow]

Knowing sony even if they do fix it. It will be only fixed for me

[half pond]

Praying they at the very least let the developer know this is happening

If they can somehow merge the ps5 and ps4 versions back together then we'd be good I think

[fast sand]

he must know by now. he's here every day and must've seen one of our many posts or desperate pings :D

i cannot ping him personally, but you might consider writing him a pm … it's a substantial concern after all, and he's asked for pms before

[thin swallow]

This seems to be the bug report with the most comments. That must do something

[hollow ferry]

But You know that no PS5 version is update right? I have PS4/PS5 store version and PS5 will be updated after many languages will be implemented in good quality. Xbox and PS5 is waiting for languages.

[obtuse furnace]

Are you sure about that? Because the PS4 version is up to date, and not the PS5 version. So not so sure that it will be updated after the languages will be implemented in good quality (and so far I didn't see any official statement saying that's the blocking reason)

[hollow ferry]

I confirmed in my last comments that not only the first PS5 version on store isn’t updated but even the current PS4/PS5 version.
Only PS4 is updated. I downloaded and installed my both versions on my PS5. The PS4 version was 1.0.0L few days ago. PS5 is 1.0.0b. Everywhere. And Xbox players confirmed that they have 1.0.0b too.

[obtuse furnace]

Yes I agree with that, my question was more on the part «  Xbox and PS5 is waiting for languages », I didn’t see that it’s pending on a good translation to be released

But I confirm your part with PS4/5

[hollow ferry]

Ok. This is update statement on Reddit.
Languages are in poor state now. It has to be without spelling mistakes.
The second statement was answered somewhere on Reddit when Localthunk was answering questions.

[obtuse furnace]

Thanks for the info!

[thin swallow]

Yes but I'd like to have the ps4/ps5 version. That's all.im asking for right now

There's a dutch language comming .. amazing

[marsh monolith]

anyone know by who are the google forms submissions checked

[hollow ferry]

I am sorry I don’t understand it in English. What do you mean?

[fast sand]

if you mean some form of report/complaint in regard to this game: it's all checked by the same few people as here: localthunk and playstack employees. if they don't see it here (after a ping), they won't see it there

[blissful atlas]

@hollow ferry ps5 will never be updated

[fast sand]

say wut?

wdym? where's that info from?

and what's that middle finger business?

[glacial gale]

Still nothing, feeling sort of left out as a ps5 owner which sucks

[fast sand]

i gotta say, the silence from dev/publisher is kinda uncool

[glacial gale]

Well, maybe some sort of resolution will come eventually

[rose mesa]

same for xbox tbh :/ hope the updates come soon enough, im playing other games meanwhile

[glacial gale]

Im actually trying to get as close to c++ as possible, it feels like a bigger accoplishment to get there without any patches lol

[fleet rivet]

Yikes, I figured all of the consoles were behind on patches. I've not been playing my PS5 version much while waiting for the patch. Hopefully something will get done. 🤞

[marsh monolith]

has anyone tried dming the dev? if not i will

[hollow ferry]

I didn’t

[sterile socket]

Neither do I, just like you I'm bored that the game isn't update.

[fast sand]

go!

[glacial gale]

PS5 version has now received the update 🙂

My game is also the "broken" pegi 3 version, and it got the update just fine

So its safe to assume its out for both pegi 3 and pegi 18 versions

[half pond]

YESSSSSS

Me too

[glacial gale]

Happy days

[marsh monolith]

doesn't include languages though

[fast sand]

woop woop!

[glacial gale]

Well at least we got the update and the qol stuff that comes alongside it

[young echo]

xbox not updated

[velvet totem]

Yeah, Xbox versions is still not updated 😢
But I’m glad to see PS5 owners already got the update 🙌🏻

[hollow ferry]

Yes 👍!
I believe that the dev has decided to update the PS5 version even when languages aren’t finished because it takes long time and the pressure from console players is high. Consoles are strict about language quality.
Thank You Localthunk 🙏
I believe Xbox will receive update too

[rose mesa]

yeah... but this is good news if the ps5 already got it, it means xbox will be following along real soon🤞

what is the version number of the ps5 version now? is it the same as the last patch from steam?

[burnt thunder]

no steam is on N instead of L

[calm breach]

Is there any card update except the bug fixing in patch N?

[burnt thunder]

don't think so

[calm breach]

okay thx

[hollow ferry]

N version is just after L. But N includes localization for foreign languages too. Languages aren’t in final form and without mistakes probably so we won’t see this version on new consoles. I think we will skip version N and maybe even next patch and then we’ll get newer patches.

[velvet totem]

An update from localthunk: https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/s/DKfS21lIpY

“1.0.1 will be ready in one or two weeks on PC and console updates would follow as fast as they can get approved”

[knotty wren]

Is Xbox the only platform that hasn't been updated to L?

[rose mesa]

sadly yes

[thin swallow]

That's sad

For the ps4/ps5 issue. An update from support

We are currently busy trying to find out exactly what is going on. Because this is an exceptional issue, we will need some extra time, but rest assured that we are working really hard to resolve it. In the meantime, you can simply use your account without encountering any further problems.

[half pond]

Was this thier response to the ps5 update being delayed?

[thin swallow]

No this was for the people who can only play the ps5 version. Some people who bought on launch are missing the ps4 version

[half pond]

Ah yeah ofc

[buoyant vector]

xbox was finally updated yesterday!

[half pond]

Yay!

The Arm has finally been weakened for good!

The extra 30 foil chips rain from the sky

Wheel still says NOPE

[rose mesa]

wonder what version is, is the same as the current pc version?

[hollow ferry]

I don’t have Xbox but somebody posted this on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/s/1XSrCJbRya

[half pond]

Consoles are now all up to version L I think

PC is on version N but there's virtually no difference between L and N

[jade plume]

Anyone got an issue with 1.0.0o update on nintendo switch? I got some important lags during a game (not at the beginning but as soon as my deck changes, it goes slower and slower)

[knotty wharf]

Why there is still no language option on ps5?

[thin swallow]

There was an update for ps5 it's still version L though. No language packs as far I saw

[fast sand]

this is still a fuckin mess innit … noone even seems to know why there even is an "o" patch, while pc is still on "n"

[vagrant thunder]

I talked to Playstack yesterday to ask about the different versions, and what I was told is that Switch and Xbox should be in-line with the PC version, and they are trying to get the PS5 version updated ASAP.

They are aware of the 1.0.0o version being out there, but they acknowledged that they knew about it and that it was likely an error (or implied it was, at least). I would consider that version to be the same as 1.0.0n, but that is just me reading between the lines.

[obtuse furnace]

Hi! As you are in contact with Playstack, do you have any info/updates about the situation regarding the translations? (if they have any plans to improve them, willing to take the fan translations or else?)

[vagrant thunder]

I don't have any info about that other than this blurb that Thunk left in the patchnotes channel for 1.0.0n:

This patch has a bunch of changes to many languages. Thank you for all the great feedback! We will continue to listen and improve these translations as time goes on.

[half pond]

Balatro twitter just posted that the languages are on console!

My ps5 just updated but you're right I don't see it in the settings

Maybe there's another way to access it, or maybe it's only in those countries?

[burnt thunder]

weird cos the languages still have issues

[velvet totem]

Just to confirm, the Xbox version is already showing the translations

[hollow ferry]

Did they remove update on PS5? Because I got notification that I downloaded update and game was updated but my game is still 1.0.0L and it is latest version according to Sony software.

[thin swallow]

There was an update , the game updated but is still 1.0.0L with no languages. But ps5 might be behind again

[half pond]

My ps5 just updated to version o with the languages

We are officially on the same version as the PC now

[thin swallow]

I was curious about the dutch version. It's horrendous 😅. Only partially translated and some things are worded poorly.

Also I don't like looking at my own language
