Crash when starting Archeology Deck

[m-r-salt]

ease_ante is called before G.deck is created causing the crash.

I got it working by delaying ease_ante with G.E_MANAGER, no clue how to mod balatro or if this is how to use github but I really wanted to play this deck.

Original:

SMODS.Back{ --Archeology Deck
    name = "Archeology Deck",
	key = "archeologydeck",  
  loc_txt = {      
    name = 'Archeology Deck',      
    text = {
      "Start in {C:attention}Ante 0",
      "{C:attention}-1{} hand size"
    } 
  }, 
	order = 17,
  unlocked = true,
  discovered = true,
	config = {},
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
    return {vars = {}}
  end,
	pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
	atlas = "ECother",
  apply = function(self, back)
    ease_ante(-1)
    G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante or G.GAME.round_resets.ante
    G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante - 1
    G.GAME.starting_params.hand_size = G.GAME.starting_params.hand_size - 1
  end
}

Fix:

SMODS.Back{ --Archeology Deck
    name = "Archeology Deck",
	key = "archeologydeck",  
  loc_txt = {      
    name = 'Archeology Deck',      
    text = {
      "Start in {C:attention}Ante 0",
      "{C:attention}-1{} hand size"
    } 
  }, 
	order = 17,
  unlocked = true,
  discovered = true,
	config = {},
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
    return {vars = {}}
  end,
	pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
	atlas = "ECother",
  apply = function(self, back)
    G.GAME.starting_params.hand_size = G.GAME.starting_params.hand_size - 1

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = function()
            ease_ante(-1)
            G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante or G.GAME.round_resets.ante
            G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante - 1

            return true
        end
    }))
  end
}

Error:
Oops! The game crashed:

I just experienced this as well. 100% reproducible; every time I start a new game with this deck it crashes. Mods installed are: Extra Credit and Steammodded via Balatro Mod Manager.

Is there a workaround? I just got this mod and have yet to try this deck.

This is some sort of incompatibility issue with recent versions of Steammodded. If you downgrade to a version from June it should work fine.
