### Frequently asked questions

## General

> *My game is crashing on startup/something doesn't appear to be loading!*

Make sure everything is properly installed.
For automatic updates, try using the [automatic update script](https://discord.com/channels/1264429948970733782/1268911536638787625).
It could also be that Steamodded is out of date, sometimes mods may use features of a new version that's absent in an older version, but don't change the version that they ask for.

> *I can't see any new jokers/content!*

If you've installed everything correctly, but no new jokers, blinds, etc. are ingame, check the Mods list by clicking on [MODS] in the main menu, and look for Cryptid/Talisman.
If they show up red, that means there's a problem. Hover over the mod icon (which should be an exclamation mark) to see what said problem is. It could be an outdated dependency in most cases.

> *What's up with all the "M" jokers/references to Jolly Joker?*

"M" is a reference to an incident in the official Balatro Discord where a user named mjiojio was spamming the letter "m" in various channels. When asked what their least favourite joker was, they answered with Jolly Joker, and that's how the "M" joke became a thing!

> *There's some content in the mod I don't like! Is there any way to remove them?*

You can disable some features of the mod by opening your Mods, clicking [Cryptid], going over to the Config tab, and clicking Thematic Sets. There, you can toggle various Cryptid additions on or off as you see fit.
You can also enable/disable certain music tracks in the Music tab. If you're a streamer, consider disabling the Jimball music for your safety!

> *I'm hitting infinity very often, is there any way to raise the limit of the scoring system?*

Talisman may not be configured to be on **Omeganum** mode, which has a maximum limit of e10##1000. You can make the limit virtually disappear by going into Mods, then clicking Talisman, and changing the Score Limit under Config. Be careful; if you have a saved run that was on a different number system, you won't be able to load it (unless if you switch back)!

> *I've experienced a crash/bug!*

Be sure to give us as much information about the bug/crash as possible. A way to reproduce the bug/crash is also especially useful information to help us fix it.
Remember; just saying you're crashing doesn't tell us anything. We need to know the details!
