My brother plays Balatro on his Steam Deck LCD and completed five different unseeded decks on his save. Unfortunately, the challenge decks screen shows that 5/5 decks have been completed without displaying the challenge decks themselves.

I had used the following guide to download mods: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3178949415 . Using this guide, I had downloaded the following mod: https://gamebanana.com/mods/589198

I asked this discord server for help with this issue and suggestions for how to fix it starting with the following message in #🎙・server-chat: #🎙・server-chat message . The conversation later moved to #🃏・off-topic with the following message: #🃏・off-topic message

Following the suggestions I was given, I began by verifying file integrity and closing the game and restarting. I had also tried relaunching the game using default launch settings instead of the custom settings found in the steam deck modding tutorial linked above. A suggestion from @plain basalt led to me to uninstall and reinstall Balatro, which unfortunately restarted my brother's progress since I did not have his data backed up to steam cloud or anywhere else for that matter.

That bug and the subsequent reinstall and loss of occured four days ago, and I figured if he beat five decks again, it would work. However, he just beat five decks again today and experienced the same issue.

Attached are two images of the bug. The first one, which is lndscape, shows the issue before reinstall. The other is the same but after.
