Balatro Mod Loading Error

[King Olly]

Hello! I am using Thunderstore Mod Manager to run mods, however, for some reason this doesn't seem to work? Even with every mod disabled, trying to run it modded through Thunderstore gives me an error:

Oops! Something went wrong:
main.lua:3080: stack overflow

Another window pops up when the game is launched titled:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Balatro\Balatro.exe

It has this within:

INFO - Using mods directory at "C:/Users/henry/AppData/Roaming/Thunderstore Mod Manager/DataFolder/Balatro/profiles/Default/mods"

Clearly there is some problem with the debug server, but I have no clue how or where to fix this. If someone could please help that would be great! Thanks in advance to whoever answers, I hope you all have a nice day!

For me I've just done mods manually instead. Does this loader check for updates or auto update mods in any way? Otherwise I don't really see a reason to do it that way

Yes, Thunderstore does I believe, I've tried to do mods for other games manually but I must be dumb lol because they don't work whenever I try it?

I use Thunderstore because it basically does the job for me I think? Whenever I boot up a modded game using Thunderstore (Take for example something like Enter the Gungeon or Rounds) it boots the game up through steam and boots another menu similar to the one I mentioned before (the "INFO - LOVELY" one) and just shows all the mods and tools loaded.

Why it doesn't work with Balatro in particular, despite the fact that it Thunderstore clearly supports the game (it has a list of supported games it has running it and on its site), I have no clue.

You can go to the Balatro game files folder and open the exe with for example 7zip and simply put the files in the respective places. Be aware that you're actively overwriting the game files that way, so if you repair the files or the game getting an update you most likely need to redo it, so i would recommend to backup your mods somewhere.
