Everything is in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m6RR7LHmAw

I opened a pack, I accidentally rerolled twice in a row, so I tried to savescum. Reopened game, and the Arcana pack opened, but then the shop re-opened before I chose a card from the pack. Game speed was x4 when this happened.

This bug is not fixed upon game reload, the same bug always happens, no matter the game speed.

I then experimented a bit. I ignored the pack, and rerolled the shop once.
After closing and reopening, the pack was gone, but the card remained.
I then opened another pack, a Celestial one. The cards moved to the middle of the screen, and when the pack closed, they went away aswell.

please tell me you have the save file @halcyon current 👀

#

ah sounds like you don't have it

halcyon current Jun 25, 2024, 7:43 PM

#

empty hearth please tell me you have the save file <@206784448329416705> 👀

I'm still inside the same run, ante 7 currently, where can I find the save file?

final bluff Jun 25, 2024, 7:44 PM

#

the save's only useful if the bug's still present

halcyon current Jun 25, 2024, 7:44 PM

#

ah

#

rip then

final bluff Jun 25, 2024, 7:46 PM

#

it's definitely related to save scumming so maybe you'll experience this again and then you can upload it

#

it's at %appdata%\Balatro\1\save.jkr

#

on pc, on mac idk

halcyon current Jun 25, 2024, 7:47 PM

#

im on pc so that works, thanks

final bluff Jun 25, 2024, 7:47 PM

#

yeah just noticed in the vid

idle fern Jun 26, 2024, 12:48 AM

#

OHHHHHHHHHHHH

#

I KNOW WHATS HAPPENING

empty hearth Jun 26, 2024, 12:51 AM

#

idle fern I KNOW WHATS HAPPENING

do enlighten us 👀

idle fern Jun 26, 2024, 12:52 AM

#

Hold up I alt f4d

#

Ok so this is my Hypothesis
There is this weird interaction where if you do something that causes a save in the game (ex. rerolling, leaving/entering shop, opening/closing pack) the game doesnt instantly save the game
So my idea is the opening the pack and then rerolling and savescumming fast enough makes it so the game is on the pack save but weirdly merged with shop because of the reroll?

empty hearth Jun 26, 2024, 12:58 AM

#

idle fern Ok so this is my Hypothesis There is this weird interaction where if you do some...

So the game passes a "savepoint", but doesn't instantly save, only a second after that point?
Which can cause the gamestate to be tangled, cuz it's expecting stuff in that savestate that isn't there?

idle fern Jun 26, 2024, 12:59 AM

#

Thats my thought process yeah

#

Ok it might not be that after me doing 4 attempts

halcyon current Jun 26, 2024, 8:57 PM

#

Would it help to share my seed?
Well, run died so here it is anyway: NRK2931U

idle fern Jun 26, 2024, 9:50 PM

#

Nope

#

Seed shouldnt matter for this bug

empty hearth Jun 26, 2024, 9:55 PM

#

we'd either want a consistent way of getting this bug, or a savefile containing the bug (preferably the first one, obviously)
the seed isn't really relevant, as this seems to be possible to do on any seed

idle fern Jun 26, 2024, 10:03 PM

#

Yep

halcyon current Jun 29, 2024, 1:03 PM

#

So uuh, it just happened again @idle fern xDD

#

And I havent fixed it this time

idle fern Jun 29, 2024, 1:04 PM

#

yo!!!!

#

ok go to %appdata%\Balatro\1 in the files

halcyon current Jun 29, 2024, 1:05 PM

Here's the save:

📎 save.jkr

#

Also @empty hearth since you asked for the save file the first time ^^

#

Once I sent you the save, I'm free to continue my run, right?

idle fern Jun 29, 2024, 1:07 PM

#

If you want

#

but what they are gonna do is make is so you can reset before the pack

#

basically resetting the bug

halcyon current Jun 29, 2024, 1:09 PM

#

huh

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 1:13 PM

#

give users the ability to upload their save somewhere to undo the bug

idle fern Jun 29, 2024, 1:25 PM

#

yep

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 3:55 PM

#

OOOH

#

lets gooo

#

thanks for letting me have access to the save @halcyon current, I'm gonna try to decipher the save and see if I can create a program that fixes it :)

halcyon current Jun 29, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

No worries! Good luck ^^

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:29 PM

#

empty hearth thanks for letting me have access to the save <@206784448329416705>, I'm gonna t...

        "type": "use_card",
        "card": 90
    },```
any idea what this section of the save is about?

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:29 PM

#

yeah that part actually seems to be the issue

halcyon current Jun 29, 2024, 4:29 PM

#

final bluff ``` "ACTION": { "type": "use_card", "card": 90 },``` any ...

In both cases, I had used Hanged Man, maybe that's related?

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:33 PM

#

could be

#

i'd have to check the other bug reports to see if hanged man was among the options as well

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:34 PM

no, since there's even reports of this happening with spectral packs https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1230854847465525258

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:34 PM

#

ah right

#

spectral cards that remove cards?

#

nvm that third card there is ectoplasm right

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:35 PM

#

that one has talisman, sigil, ectoplasm and ouija

#

none of which remove cards

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:35 PM

#

that's not it then

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:37 PM

#

also, card ID 90 is some sort of global card counter, but I'm not sure what card it's actually referring to in this case

#

honestly, it just seems to fix itself if I remove the whole ACTION: {}

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:39 PM

#

does it go to the state after you used to the booster pack or before it?

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:39 PM

#

before it, even resets the money back as far as I can tell

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:40 PM

#

so both booster packs are visible and the deck is unmodified right?

#

my guess would be that card ID 90 then refers to one of the booster packs

#

well, slots in the shop

#

where there's a booster pack in this case

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

final bluff so both booster packs are visible and the deck is unmodified right?

yeah, everything seems to reset to what it was beforehand
I can't be 100% sure about the deck though, since I didn't know what it looked like beforehand

#

but I assume the deck gets reset as well

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:42 PM

#

great! simple fix fortunately

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

🤔

#

this is after removing the ACTION, loading the run, opening the pack, and reloading the run again

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:44 PM

#

so you didn't even use any of the tarots

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:44 PM

#

nope

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:45 PM

#

and i guess ACTION is back in the save?

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:46 PM

#

yes

#

there's definitely something fucky about this save 🤔

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:47 PM

#

hm so it will take more debugging to figure out the root cause

idle fern Jun 29, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

🤔

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

fixed my sentence

#

😂

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

hmm, it at least seems fine in the next shop

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

empty hearth there's definitely something fucky about this save 🤔

just noticed the different tarot cards

#

how'd you get +$6

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

oh thats me giving myself enough money to buy the 2nd tarot pack

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

ah

final bluff Jun 29, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

empty hearth hmm, it at least seems fine in the next shop

does this have ACTION in its save?

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

yes... it does

#

wtf

#

man this game loves taunting me when I'm debugging

idle fern Jun 29, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

lol

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

alright for now I'll just check for shop state and the ACTION key since that's the only consistency I can see right now
if both are present I'll just remove action and hope that that works

empty hearth Jun 29, 2024, 6:15 PM

#

Okay, any savefile with this bug should (hopefully) automatically get fixed now when uploading it here https://larswijn.github.io/BalatroReTag/. Thanks again for managing to provide an example file Kya :)
