This has happened 4 or 5 times to me now, always when im in the shop. It does not happen on any other game and I can rule out it being purely a PC issue. The game will freeze followed by my whole PC and i have to force shutdown and restart.

I have just over 100 hours in the game now, but have only had this happen to me recently (i.e. past 2 weeks or so) so I'd imagine its due to the latest patch.

Would be happy to provide any other details necessary but I haven't noticed any patterns in when it happens other than it always being in the shop and (possibly) being due to opening a booster pack.

misty bobcat did you check the health of your drives?

I play plenty of far more demanding games and have never had this problem with anything else, so i dont think it could be that. My PC is very healthy atm

well, if your Balatro save is on a corrupt part of your drive for example i thought maybe that could be the problem. i don't think others have had pc crashes from balatro yet

I did, twice, with one of them ending with the "pc needs repairing or something" screen back on the 0.9.3 demo
