Disappearing cards

[Xenu's Paradox]

Anyone have cards just randomly disappear? I had to tank a run last night after like 9 hours because my Vivid Imagination suddenly went poof, destroying my source of income. That's when I took stock and noticed that I'd also lost 4 Passion, a couple of Locations (thought they were consumed on a failed expedition until I failed another and got it back), and my Stronger Physique as well. I probably would have noticed sooner but, well, 9 straight hours playing and it was late.

It seems to be a bug when getting a lot of cards back from a verb; sometimes it just eats one or two.

Have you checked under all your cards? Sometimes the "Collect all" or whatever it is button will cause cards to hide under other cards of a different type.

Yeah, I can confirm that cards have a tendency to randomly disappear on some occasions. Happened to me with Reason cards in one playthrough and with three Health on the other, which resulted in the game over. At the moment it makes the game more or less unplayable for me.

For me, I have found 100% of "missing" cards are caused by two things:
- Cards are actually hidden under another one (there is no visual clue its hidden - you have to move all the central cards to check underneath, quite annoying)
- I used Reason/Passion/Health on raising my cult followers, and only later realised it swallows these. It does technically say in the description it will swallow certain things, but I still think it could be made clearer somehow.

Its possible you are experiencing actual bugs, but double check the above two don't apply.

I double checked for the hidden cards (and they were definitely not accounted by the counter at the bottom of the screen), but at least partially it could be the second possibility for me. If yes I must admit that the description is woefully inadequate and the sacrifice does not seem to be worth the benefits at all.

Yes, I had cards "disappear"

Found them under other cards couple of times
Once the problem was solved by reloading

a lot of the time, my missing cards are just missing because i put them into something that takes a long time to do, and it takes another card that covers up the "missing" one. like finding people to join your cult. i also get the stacking cards problem.

I just had this happen. Went to turn in a Commission to Mme Bechet, game stuttered as I was dragging the manuscript to the slot. Because it registered a click to desktop, the Verb closed out... and took my Commission request with it. Mme Bechet went back where she was supposed to be, but the Commission is completely gone -- I moved every card on my board, and no dice.

Tripple clicking on cards with timers when trying to laod them into Painting seems to make them become erased for me. The Detective can't find the notoriaty that disapears that way.

PSA - so I'll pin and lock this thread:

We've found the bug. If you're dropping a card in a slot at the *exact moment* a window closes, the card sometimes gets lost. We have a fix for it which [EDIT] is now on the main and beta branches.

There seems to be another even rarer bug that causes occasional card disappearances, which is associated with save corruption and which we're trying to track down. The most useful thing you can do to help us track it down, if you see it, is send your save files (incl backups) and output log to [e-mail]

Sorry about this, folks. If this bug spoils a run, remember you can use ctrl+` to bring up the dev console and give yourself the missing card.
