Hello. Today I have ran into my first bug/softlock after 200ish hours.

Here's what happened:

I have opened 5 spectral packs after skipping a spectral tag with anaglyph deck, after having 4 double tags piled up.
I used up the first 4 spectral cards without an issue.
last pack had a Cryptid in it. I had an Emperor on my consumable slot, that gave me a Tower. I turned one of the cards into stone.
As I'm working on completionist++ I left to main menu, to check if I still need gold sticker on any joker that synergises with stone cards.
After continuing my run, to use the Cryptid on the stone card I just created, the spectral card choices fully disappeared. The skip part is also greyed off. I'm softlocked in this state.

Is there any way to save this run? 😦

Was playing on PC version, on Steam Deck.

if you can figure out how to upload your save file to https://larswijn.github.io/BalatroReTag/ and replace your old save file with this new one it's recoverable

#

you don't need to go to main menu to check your joker stickers by the way

#

you can just go to Options -> Collection

Will check if I can find that on the Steam Deck. Thank you.

Is this the common case of softlock when quitting to menu while opening multiple booster packs? Or is this a different scenario?

If it's the former then this is one of the most commonly reported bugs here. Idk if I'm misunderstanding something

If you leave while in a double tag pack yes

However there is a different bug where deleting all cards in hand in a pack softlocks you
