Just completed a red stake run last night, had brainstorm (which I previously lost a gold sticker on), and didn't get the sticker on completion. Apparently I'm just barred from getting Completionist++. No steam cloud was involved, files updated properly and have only been accessed by this machine. Would be fantastic to hear a single word out of LocalThunk regarding this. Until then, I won't be playing and will be recommending my friends against the game.

Not much to say rlly, if you have done any mods or if you did that run on a seeded run then you cant add stuff to collection for hopefully obvious reasons
From the sounds of it you have been swapping devices which can cause multiple bugs, other then that not much else I can say
fair star
I swapped devices once, over a month ago. Reverted back to old files before the swap after the joker sticker loss occurred. The file is unmodded, and the run was unseeded. The only explanation is that something else going on, and swapping devices shouldn't even cause this in the first place if steam cloud and local files were synced (they were).

Then I have no clue
seems you have a bug from something no one else has which is leading to game stuff not saving
fair star
I would imagine that it's somehow related to the "progress deleted itself?" thread, which is currently the most active thread in this channel. I just wish anyone more familiar with the source code would take a second look at this, since it's very clearly hurting the user experience.
Part of me is tempted to just wipe the game and start completely fresh, but I'm just a few runs away from Completionist+.

Id try and help but these types of bugs arent my cup of tea. I always ping Localthunk or @scarlet lagoon but Local has been busy since the latest release and barely interacts sadly and MathIsFun_ is juggling between around 5 different projects rn
fair star
Yeah I know y'all are busy, I just feel like something should be said about this one. The mod ping in the "progress deleted itself" thread was met with hostility and Thunk has remained completely silent about the worst bug in the game.

I would guess it’s a steam cloud issue?
But from your post you say this happened without even closing and reopening the game, so that would be wrong
I really don’t know why this would happen - if you try getting another joker sticker does it save, or is this a one time incident for you?

Haven't checked yet, need to just run up white stake plasma when I get the chance and I'll let you know
fair star
Just completed a white stake run with fortune teller (this is also one I lost a gold sticker on). No sticker to be seen. Gave me the sticker on jolly joker, which was previously stickerless.
Unmodded file, unseeded run.
At this point, I'm going to finish Completionist+, and then reinstall the game.

Ok now I’m even more confused
Could you send a zip file of your profile folder? (%AppData%/Balatro/[profile #])
That might help with debugging more
fair star
I got you, one sec
FWIW, I'm getting steam cloud sync errors again. These are both files in my #1 save. Most notably, save.jkr is absent.
False alarm on the steam cloud, just synced and everything looks correct.
Oh wait you wanted a .zip, one sec
Verifying local files doesn't give me that file back. That being said, I don't think steam accesses anything in appdata when it checks those :/
Answer might've just hit me
Damn, nothing. I had a save.jkr on my laptop from when I switched devices a month ago. Was hoping the sticker data was stored in there, so I moved it between machines manually and nothing came back.
Will see if this lets me keep a sticker though
fair star
alas... no sticker
same deal, unseeded white stake plasma with fortune teller. had brainstorm on this one too and didn't get a sticker there.
save.jkr just vaporized itself, wtf
fast hamlet
That's normal, save.jkr only keeps track of your current run and doesn't exist when you don't have an ongoing one
fair star
ah, gotcha
I have no way to access these files so I just assumed that one missing = bad
scarlet lagoon
Okay, I think I found the issue @fair star
It looks like you've played Cryptid with this savefile. You have several wins on Jokers like Brainstorm on Cryptid's higher stakes, which still remain in the savefile. Your Gold Stake wins are still being saved, but the game keeps trying to show the sticker for an even higher stake, and ends up defaulting to showing nothing at all.
fair star
that’s super weird, I haven’t used Cryptid on this machine before. I did on my laptop when I jumped machines, but I guess steam cloud moved those files over?
scarlet lagoon
yeah, probably
fair star
I reverted back to old files pre-jump before that happened though
scarlet lagoon
but either way, the savefile still has info from your Antimatter Deck stake climbing
which messed with vanilla's stickers
fair star
is there an easy fix for that? or am I just boned and have to restart
scarlet lagoon
Deleting profile.jkr will wipe all stickers and fix the issue
Otherwise, you'd have to manually extract the file, delete all the entries from Cryptid's stakes, and compress it again
fair star
When the completionist++ check triggers, will it still see the gold stickers (that are now superseded by ascendant or whatever), or will it only check for a gold sticker?
because if I can still get the achievement without having to wipe my save that’s the easiest option
reason being is that I have gold stickers on some tough ones, like riff raff, that I really don’t want to have to get again
scarlet lagoon
looked at the code real quick, I think yes
in fact, you will likely unlock it earlier, as the Cryptid stickers count extra towards your progress
if I read the code right
fair star
ah, well I don’t want to do that
I’d rather wipe it than have an illegitimate completion
scarlet lagoon
Using Steamodded (with no mods) may potentially fix that?
I think they changed around the way stakes are handled so you should see the gold stickers
and it also disables unlocks, so you can switch back to vanilla to get the achievement once you see every gold sticker
fair star
Will check it out in a sec, work meetings are running long
Either way, thanks for the help 🙏
scarlet lagoon
Basically Cryptid’s higher stakes (used to) screw with stake unlocks which caused all of this
(Steamodded was updated recently to fix these sorts of issues)
stiff sand
So it was a modding issue
