Troubleshooting

• Hash mismatch?
  • Only the official Steam version (1.0.1o-Full) of Balatro is tested.
• Missing dependencies?
  • Use option 1 in build.bat to install those dependencies automatically.
• Build fails or is slow?
  • Building can take a long time, even my PC takes 3 minutes to build.
