Game Crashes on Startup

[Aboobie]

Every time i try launching the game it crashes on startup.
the error code i get is:
[string "return {["ambient_control"]={["ambientfire1"]..."]:1: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'inf' [a nil value]

I cant send an ingame crashreport, since they are set to off by default, and i cant get to the settings menu, since the game crashes on launch.
I have reinstalled the game a couple of times.
I have tried playing the game on mulitple devices (my pc and laptop) - both get the same error.
I have played the demo (on both devices).

It crashed for me every single time as well (with a different message, though).
I've ended up running it with a standalone framework from love2d.org (11.4)

Did you find a solution to this problem? I need help solving it myself.

Solving the lack of crashlog sending can be done using https://balatro.shorty.systems/
You upload settings.jkr (found in AppData/Roaming/Balatro) to that site, click the checkbox that says Send Crash Reports, and download the file back. Next time you start the game it should send info to LocalThunk.

But while you're there, also try taking a look at the stuff when you click the "Raw" button. Ctrl+F ambient_control. For me, that stuff looks like this:

"ambient_control": {
"ambientFire1": {
"vol": 0,
"per": 1.1
},
"ambientOrgan1": {
"vol": 0,
"per": 0.7
},
"ambientFire2": {
"vol": 0,
"per": 1.05
},
"ambientFire3": {
"vol": 0,
"per": 1
}
},

I assume from the error that something went wrong with your settings file and one of these things is missing. If so, try copying the above and see if it fixes your game.
Another thing you could try is cutting and pasting settings.jkr out of the folder entirely, see if the game generates a new one.

Same, also played the demo.
