So I've opened an arcana pack (specifically, I opened a 2nd one from from a double tag) and I had to leave so I exited the game before finishing from the 2nd pack. When I returned to my run, I'm stuck like the image shows, where I have to choose from tarot cards, but nothing is clickable nor am I able to skip.

I've looked in the bug report section and saw that many people had a similar issue but in different cases. Rather than the hand being invisible like in some cases, its the other way around. Thankfully I don't think I'd be winning this run anyways but just wanted to share this info if it helps anyone!

welp, I added my case for the sake of it being done slightly differently? unless someone else had the exact same scenario that I had with all variables

nah thats a different bug

there are two similar bugs, one is 0 hand size caused by card removal mechanics such as immolate, hanged man or challenges that affect hand size, the other, the most reported one, is just continuing a run in a booster pack that was created from a double tag

ah I see, it was in fact pretty common then, I just finally decided to leave mid pack opening (with double tag).. never doing that again lol

You say that, but Ive known about this bug for 4 months and have forgotten about it like 5 times and lost runs due to it

i think ive managed to avoid it all but a single time, recently i had a run where i skipped for two spectral packs on gold stake and i got trib on the first one and softlocked myself on the second (oops)

#

very unfortunate common bug but hopefully it can get fixed at some point
