I'm back again, and in more dog shit than ever. need help loading a steam back up
a steam backup?
tell me what's going on first
it might be very easy to fix
(also, this is why we don't recommend xnb mods at all anymore.)
Wellll I was trying to install a mod by replacing the file and adding the new one (flash back to files I asked for).
yeah nah.
do you have any other mod where you had to replace game files?
if yes, try to make a list before doing anything I'm gonna tell you
yes , I have back up for the emily mod.
I have the old files
So first do that, then go in steam
replace the files right
right click on SDV -> properties
go in local files, and click on Verify Game Integrity
it's gonna delete all XNB mods.
does gog have verify integrity
and make it brand new and working
I think so?
I'll look for it after
your next step after doing that is going to this page:
←Index
and look for the mods you had
and install a CP version instead
I'm waiting for the verifing
hoi hoiii, i was wondering if i wanted to change the name of my character, which things do i have to change exactly? do i have to change the actual name of the save too?
PRAISE YOBA IT WORKED
The game loaded, Just i cant get out of bed. one evil at a time I guess

@stray remnant try following this guide: https://stardewids.com/change-name
This is a simple guide that walks you through modifying your save file to change the name of your character in Stardew Valley on Windows and Mac (Steam).

u asked for the ping
Thanks @full knoll You're a true hero

@unborn prairie no u 
i didnt ask for two
poop
don't get too off topic ok it my channel
🏃
delicious, thankies
@little badge that's odd... It even goes like that in the tilesheet, which suggests it wasn't a mistake or just some rows got deleted at some point... 
I guess there may have been more at one point, some were deleted from the map, and the tiles rearranged to save space, but that seems weird, why not rearrange the letters at the same time.
@rocky pagoda oh and what about the box behind the joja mart, can an item go in there to get a new kind of statue along with the 3 others we've found to date :' )?
No... Maybe that was the original intention, but it's just a box now.
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1019?tab=files is this the latest and greatest?
Hey I can't open the game...
like what do u mean?
like nothing happens?
any steam error or smapi error(if u have smapi)
@storm rock Thar one should still work with the latest versions. See https://mods.smapi.io/ if you want to know if a mod is still compatible.
@hexed apex See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Nothing_happens_when_you_launch_the_game for help fixing that.
Welcome!
hey I can't open the game can anyone help..?
whenever I press start on steam there is a error message popping up saying "an error occurred while updating stardew valley (unknown error)
Does it still happen after you restart your computer? If so, what if you temporarily blank your Steam launch options?
I did restarted my computer but how do I blank my steam launch options?
(@deep moth You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
- Open Steam.
- Right-click on Stardew Valley and click Properties.
- Click Set Launch Options.
- Make sure the textbox is empty, and click OK to save.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
Welcome! If you still want to use SMAPI (and you're playing on Windows), see "Part 2: configure Steam" to set the correct launch options: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Install.
um I'm a mac user so is there any other way to download smapi and insert mods in the game?
Yep, you just need to run the SMAPI installer. You don't need to change launch options on Mac.
You're the best once again thank you so much!!
Welcome! Feel free to ask in #making-mods-general if you need any help with mods.
My cows all have half hearts, and they’re brand new. But my chickens don’t have any? They’re all fed daily.
I’m on mobile, and I usually pet them.
This is support from the community, but most of us play on PC. For mobile issues/questions, you may have more luck asking on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/b0syp7/stardew_valley_now_available_on_android/) or the forums (https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/stardew-valley-android-ios-known-issues-and-fixes.153425/) which the mobile developers are monitoring.
i was messing with the stardew expanded mod trying to get it to work and gave up, after i put in my backup content files and got rid of everything associated with the mod, i tried playing and when i attempted to enter the community center my whole screen turns black and the game crashes,, anyone know what i can do?
@pulsar sage Hi! Do you play with Steam or GOG?
Steam
it works now, thank you!
(@pulsar sage You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
Hi there, i just have this small delema where i have items held on my mouse, that i was trying to buy but apparently i cant close /drop or sell them. what can / should i do please and thank you ! http://prntscr.com/nfdpz9 ?
yeah i figured >~< just wasnt sure if there was anything i didnt know ~ Thank you tho !
Question! If for some reason my game is saying that Penny and Pam are located in the desert when they are actually at home, should I assume that it is the map locator glitching or could it be something else? (I use the UI Info Suite to tell me where the NPCs are on the map) It's nothing game breaking or anything, I just found it slightly odd that this was happening and it is something I noticed fairly recently in my game. Thought that maybe someone here could help.
@bitter shadow hi! Mod support is in #making-mods-general by the way!
it looks indeed like UI info Suite had a problem
can you go in modding and send me a log?
!log
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
Ive heard that that mod usually does that with pam and penny
Sorry for posting here then! Didn't know if it was mod related anyway ^^" I'll go post the log in modding then
Just give me one moment C:
(@bitter shadow You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
im not too sure how to fix this, ive pluged in and unplugged headphones but nothing works
and if you keep them plugged in?
same error
do you know how to update driver?
im not too sure abt what that is :(
alright let me get you a tutorial somewhere on the google dot com
haha thank u
you're on windows 10?
yes
it's on your screenshot
alright
Open Start. Search for Device Manager, click the top result to open the experience.
it's gonna give you a bunch of lists to expand
ok i opened that up
got it
do i press "search automatically"?
yep
do i click on the only option?
nah you can close
thinking
I'm gonna have a look on the channel
alright
let's try to restart your computer
it might be your driver that crashed for no reasons
oki dokie! yeah probably, i'll lyk if it works :) thank u for ur help tho !
:D
if I use mods and accept an invite to a game, do the mods still connect? (I usually use the game files and use sampi, not steam)
See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide#Do_mods_work_in_multiplayer.3F for details on how mods work in multiplayer. :)
(For information on how mods work in multiplayer in general.)
ok so i just delved into the sv modding community and downloaded a couple mods but as soon as i had installed them and tried to load up my game i got a loading error saying "the system cannot find the path specified (0x3)" any ideas on how to fix that?
have u installed smapi yet or are u attempting to install smapi?
first i installed smapi and the game worked fine but after i installed other mods the game wouldnt work
wait, post a screenshot of this error you see
(@quartz sparrow You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
Right click on Stardew Valley -> Properties -> Set Launch Options what do you have in that box? @quartz sparrow
this comes up: apps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%
That's why. When you installed SMAPI it should have popped up some green text. You need to copy and paste that. I can help tho
Are you on windows?
yeah
Try putting this in that box "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%
Including the quotes
nope its still popping up the same error message
Do you still have SMAPI installed?
yeah im pretty sure
Ok, lets make sure. if you right click Stardew Valley -> Properties -> Local Files Tab -> Browse Local Files can you screenshot that folder please
Well it doesnt look like SMAPI is installed. So I would suggest you to download it again. Then run the install on windows bat file. When that pops up, make sure it's pointing to where you have SDV installed.
alright ill try that thanks
You're welcome
ahhhh omg it worked thank you so much!!!!
You're welcome 😃 Enjoy playing with mods
AFter another couple of months of not playing, when i tried opening the game it screamed and died
https://log.smapi.io/XvvhGKGn
Any help?
You need to update SMAPI
current version is 2.11.1
Yours is kind of out of date 😛
Gee wilikers, no really?
Once you update SMAPI, you will only need to update any of the mods that need it. Or remove the ones that aren't maintained anymore
kay
Has anyone dealt with all Stardew Valley saves being stuck on the loading screen?
so, i've been receiving a lot of red in my SMAPI that im a bit concerned about? it happened suddenly and my friends can't join the server we were playing on. photo coming right now:
(@pine robin You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
Hey :)
Does sve make it so trees start growing like crazy everywhere?
Cuz i got the mod InstantGrowTrees to reset the bushes, then got rid of the mod (and had even checked the config to disable instant grow)
but they just seem to be growing EVERYWHERE o.o
@pine robin try verifying your files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files
and if that doesnt work where should i head next?
umm i think sve does that
So like, what does this mean?
@dense light I changed your nickname temporarily to fit the #445729663885639680; feel free to choose a different nickname! As for that issue, can you upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io (see instructions on that page) and post a link here?
(@dense light You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
Sorry about the name btw
No worries! Can you temporarily remove all mods, try it again, and post a new log?
SMAPI as well? Or just the folders sitting in 'Mods'?
Just the folders under Mods, keep SMAPI itself.
Can you send me a zip of your mydude_211703357 save folder? (See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Find_your_save_files.)
Did you recently remove some multiplayer cabins?
Yes
It's crashing because the main character's home location is set to a cabin, which fails because the main character is loaded before cabins. I'm guessing you're trying to convert a farmhand into the main player?
Yeah, the new farmhand is me and I was trying to pretty up the farm from the mess that was 6 or so cabins
I don't think anyone has ever succeeded in swapping a farmhand and main player; it's a surprising amount of work. The easiest option might be to perform minimal changes to the main player (e.g. rename them), change their appearance / skills / etc in-game, loot the farmhand's cabin chest, and then delete the old farmhand.
Delete the old farmhand as in the one to originally create the farm?
Nope, restore the save to the way it was before trying to swap players. When you load the save, you should be playing as the old main player.
You want to change that character to reflect what you want (e.g. rename them, change their appearance, etc), without swapping the actual player instances.
Well there goes 30 hours of play time lol
You played 30 hours after swapping characters?
I followed a guide that simply had me switch all of my character's files with where the host's character file was
scratch that
character code*
When did it stop working?
Is it possible it was working before you tried swapping characters, and broke when you did that?
It was definitely working
Anything inside of the farmhand's house would stay glitched when we upgraded it after swapping the characters
That's really weird. That shouldn't work as far as I can tell, and the previous save backup doesn't work either. How it was working before is a mystery. 🤔
Well I guess this is what I get for messing with the game's code
I probably wouldn't be able to fix anything without the dev's help
why do i crash whenever i sleep?
(@green aurora You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
i modified the games files could that be it?
probably
how can fix that tho
@green aurora do you have SMAPI?
(we do NOT recommend XNB mods, or touching any game files for that reason)
yes
!log
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
please!
jesus
yeah
do you have any XNB mod?
if yes, please make a list of the names of these mods
then you're going to follow these step: IT IS GOING TO DELETE ALL XNB MODS.
in steam, click click on SDV -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Game Integrity
it will most likely fix your game
for the mods, we have a page to the latest versions of these xnb mods
as Content Patcher
←Index
Jesu Christo, thats a lot of red in that log!
no worries
https://i.imgur.com/SmoeexV.png Anyone know why I can't move at all here? My character is stuck and I cant bring up the escape menu, but other menus work fine and the game is still advancing time
PC?
do you use mods, etc
roger
@visual flare #making-mods-general please!
aright thx
hi, does anyone know why for the past 3 nights of winter my co-op partner has been waking up with the disgruntled sad emote over his head? the one that's a black squiggle
Do you have mods?
did the code for beta change by any chance?
ohh ok
Oh huh tha fishing stuck pic looks like something that happened to me once in the night market
Cast the fishing line as the fishing sub doors were opening up, it landed on the door
Softlooock
debug canmove
Oh lol
if you type that in the console
it will remove that weird glitch
for you next time!
Multiplayer works fine as well.
Hi all! I'm playing co-op with 1 friend and keep wondering: " if he's not free, can i play the hosted game by myself and he will still be able to join later on? or i have to wait for him to play together everytime i want to play?"
Like a server that's up 24/7? I'm not sure those exist
(@empty dagger You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
but sometime i want to play but i'm afraid that he would not be able to join later
:((
Oh no he'll be able to join
You could be in year 120 and he could join for the first time
oh
and in reality he wouldn't be "behind" since he'd just start from there
so actually
he has everything in my farm
except the skills level on characters right?
I'm pretty sure characters are farm dependent
So a character created for a multiplayer world is for that multiplayer world only
ok all i wanted is to play by myself to keep the farm in progress while my friend is not there.
and he can join later on
to continue his game
with me
so as you answer. that's a YES
❤
thank you honey
Yup! That's exactly what you can do :)
Howdy yall
So I downloaded a ton of mods
and when I tried to launch the game through smapi I got this message
@sudden ivy can you restart your computer please?
Then if you installed any XNB mod: we're going to uninstall them
They are outdated so make a list of them
Then you're gone go in Steam, right click on Sdv, properties, local files, verify game integrity
Then you'll have to go there to find content Patcher versions:
!xnb
An XNB mod replaces some of your game's .xnb files to change the game (unlike newer mods that go in your Mods folder). This is an older type of mod that's no longer recommended, and can cause a number of issues. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for help using them (and a list of alternatives using Content Patcher), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher).
(@native venture You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
my account is deleted, but i didnt delete it, pls help me!
@native venture hi, I'm sorry to hear that. Are you playing on PC?
And are you talking about your steam account or your save?
my save and im playing on pc (laptop)
Can you go here and go to TroubleShot? I am on mobile and can't give you the direct link sadly: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves
The game saves progress when the in-game day ends, i.e., when the farmer goes to bed, collapses from exhaustion, or collapses at 2am. All progress during a day is lost if the player quits the game without ending the day.
ok ill do it.
👌
how can i undo the last save?
Follow the instructions on the page, everything is there
pls in easy english because im a german guy
Find your save files.
You should see two files with an _old suffix in the name; if not, ask for help instead!
Back up your save folder just in case.
Delete SaveGameInfo and the file that looks like YourName_123456789.
Remove the _old suffix from SaveGameInfo_old and the file that looks like YourName_123456789_old.
i can click on it, but when i do this i see the start picture, and come back to the main menu
i did everything that you said, but i doesnt works
!installforlog
Try this:
- Install SMAPI: https://smapi.io/.
- Run the game through SMAPI.
- Upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io/.
- Share the log link here.
(You can remove SMAPI later, we're just using it to see what the problem is.)
Why?
because my vather will get angry
I sadly don't know how to troubleshot this further.
You can still try to go in steam, right click on stardew valley, properties. Click on local files, and then Verify Game Integrity
yeah, i do it in 2 hours, i have to go off
It will check if the game deleted files making the game unplayable
Does anyone if the change on iOS to make the game save files inaccessible from the device itself was intentional or not?
On iOS you used to be able to access the save files from the iOS files app, but as of a few updates ago that's not possible anymore. It means you can't use stuff like upload.farm anymore which is a bummer
I've tried to find a comment from the mobile devs, but they haven't acknowledged it as far as I can tell
It really is
pretty typical for apple, tho
Unless apple made them change this (and they haven't said anything to that effect), it's Stardew's mobile dev team that made the change
that's probably what happened - there's no reason for them to do it otherwise
I would have expected them to say something about if that was the case though
Idk
I tried contacting one of the mobile devs but didn't get a reply
CA put me in touch with one of the mobile devs, so I can ask. What happens when you follow the instructions at https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Mobile_.28iOS.29? Does the folder just not show up in iTunes?
It must be saving to somewhere.
So, this isn't an issue with the iTunes process for moving a save, as far as I know that still works. The problem is that when the game launched on iOS, you could open an apple app called "Files" and you Stardew saves would be right there on your iPhone or iPad, no need to connect the device to a computer via iTunes. Your game saves aren't visible in the Files app anymore though.
As a result, you can't use stuff like https://upload.farm/ or https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-checkup/ on iOS right now
Weird. Not sure how the Files app works, but I assume if saves are still visible in iTunes then they're still in the same place?
I really don't know, but this issue has been around for several weeks at this point. I can test the iTunes thing to make sure that's still working as well.
Have you seen other users reporting it, or is it something you've noticed yourself?
A number of users have been reporting this
I first mention this issue on the Chucklefish forums on April 5th, several other users have reported it in that mobile issues thread, and I've seen several reports on the subreddit
Reported in the official bug report thread? I don't think they're watching the other threads.
Yep!
I just looked through the more recent comments and don't see any response from a dev on this issue there
I guess you could post about it again? I've noticed the developers seem to use signal-boost driven development (i.e. they work on issues that are reported repeatedly and recently).
Sure, I can post again
And I just tested the iTunes method, that still works fine
Posted the issue on the bug thread again, hopefully it gets a response
My English isn't so good, I'm sorry.
I got the success "Treasure Trove" in the game, but not in Steam.
Maybe someone has the same problem or can help me?
I would be very happy.
Any idea why my game stops putting out audio after being paused for a while?
my npc spawns in staring up, even though ive set her to look down. is this not correct: 0=up,1=right,2=down,3=left when i comes to npc schedule placement?
yep that is correct
@low rose you cannot change that.. if you see every NPC that's still in bed, they all are facing up
your only choice is making a 610 schedule to make her look down
i did, i realize now that it was the enitre schedule that wasnt working
ah
i think i might have it fixed though, testing it now
I can no longer take screenshots or bring up the Steam overlay in game (SMAPI launched through Steam, of course). I tried readding it, I double checked the launch options, etc. It worked in the past, and aside from recently updating SMAPI nothing else should have changed.
Have you already tried restarting your computer, in case Steam just got stuck?
Howdy all, whenever I try to start a new file, I get this error
do you have mods? Do you have the game on Steam?
Hey all. has anyone had the issue of the remastered map not showing up when pressing 'm'? I still get the default map and I feel like I have reinstalled everything several times at this point...
Hm, I have an error where my game crashes when launched.
I've been repetitively re-installing Stardew Valley, but the same error occurs again.
What's the error? Do you have SMAPI installed?
(I was actually asking because a SMAPI log can be helpful, not because SMAPI would be at fault 😄 ) Does it give an error when it crashes though, eg missing executable or something similar?
I mean, I've heard this could have something to do with the XNA Redistributable.
I've checked my Redist > XNA > 4.0 and there were no files.
(Although now that I zoom in on the screenshot a little, it looks like there was a bad SMAPI install, with files that belong to its internal folder in the game folder? Hard to tell.)
So I've basically mixed up SMAPI files with in-game files?
I still don't follow if there is an actual error or not, or at what point it crashes though -- does it just fail to launch, or reach a particular point and stop, or black screen, or ? 
When I launch it, it enters a white-screen phase before crashing seconds later.
The application does start up, but it's just a white screen.
Yeah, I'm not sure if there's a better way of cleaning up, but what I do is just delete all those files and then verify file integrity in Steam, which puts back only what the game itself is missing :)
(I don't know that it is related, but we can start with that, anyway, to get it out of there.)
What files?
(The redist folder is empty because it has been removed)
Is it required?
u can try to reinstall XNA and Net Framework: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net452 and https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914
then restart your computer and run the game
if that doesnt work you can try to install SMAPI for a log
(But by running the installer and not dragging the files over :) )
Try this:
- Install SMAPI: https://smapi.io/.
- Run the game through SMAPI.
- Upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io/.
- Share the log link here.
(You can remove SMAPI later, we're just using it to see what the problem is.)
(I remember this problem now 😐 )

ok.
I've installed SMAPI properly. I've downloaded, extracted the files and used put the things in the launch settings and every SMAPI file is in my folder.
Yet, the log doesn't react at all.
Nothing happens when launching SMAPI?
Usually, when the game launches SMAPI is supposed to appear as well.
But it's nothing but a plain white screen on the SV application.
While the SMAPI doesn't launch at all.
What happens if you run StardewModdingApi.exe from the Stardew Folder?
Sounds like your launch options isn't set up correctly
What do you have in the launch options for SDV in steam?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe
Try this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%
including the quotes
Shouldn't that give a missing executable error, not a white screen crash? 
Or, well, I guess without the command part it's not actually launching an executable ...
Hm, why does it work now?
The game launches correctly?
Strange indeed
Usually we only use SMAPI to catch errors unless you want to play with mods
I guess, at least it's working now 😛
Does that happen if you launch the Stardew Valley exe directly from the folder?
(Not the moddingAPI exe)
No, that happens when I launch it from steam without SMAPI.
Did you remove the launch options after uninstalling SMAPI?
(And just to clarify, you tested and it doesn't happen launching the exe from the folder, only from Steam?)
Applies to both, as long as it doesn't have SMAPI it won't work.
Regardless of where i launch it from.

No clue there. Usually if the game is bugging out, it'll bug out with SMAPI too
Another question, is there supposed to be anything in the Redist file?
Redist > XNA > 4.0 > Empty.
It's been like that even when I've had it installed.
Still empty, tried repairing thrice.
Successful, yet didn't show up in the folder itself.
There used to be, but now it's in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist
They were moved during an update
Someone else had this happening without SMAPI, but I don't know why. I'm not sure how long ago that was.
investigates
(I think the instance I was thinking of was from December. https://discordapp.com/channels/137344473976799233/337774601696313347/528413643893768205 No further information, though. 🤷 Maybe one of the Council of Support Wizards knows more. )
anyone else is experiencing frame rate issue on switch?
It’s extremely noticeable when I’m walking across some part of my farm horizontally
@pallid edge it is a known issue, except a fix in the next update or so! You can report that issue on the support forum as well
@worldly spruce the common redist was indeed to repair the game, Steam removed it but I asked to get it again. 
(don't expect anything from steam tho)
(they refuse to fix the peer to peer MP issue on their side)
I had this issue since a few days ago tho
Been playing for 220+ hrs and it was fine before

Let's try something
Can you go in the home menu of the switch
Then in system
Open System Settings on the HOME Menu, then select System ⇒ Formatting Options ⇒ Clear Cache
Here, better
It fixed my lag issues in some games on my side
that won’t affect my save right?
I’ll try that when I have it with me. Thanks for the tip!! 
It won't touch your saves don't worry ^^
@full knoll , i found the problem why my old account won´t start xD
i removed the problem but my account now won´t start again D=
i saw, that a numberwas removed too when i removed the _old
no problem
but i remove my ingame name, because its my real name
i dont want to show my real name
its excactly the same name, i looked it self
its all on german, sorry D=
cuz im german
is that all what u want to see?
It should be the same name as the save file ^^
ok
i have to try, to play with the account
s***, the game need to install or update, it can take few minutes.
now its installed
i hope it works
my account will be showed, but i cant use him...
i ever come back to the main menu
I only want to play with my account, but the game wont it D= . Its my first account and i played with him 11 hours....
Im sad, it will never work, i think
so i create a new account..
My game closed, but I have no errors showing in Smapi and I didn't close it myself
you might want to run your antivirus
and check if no other app on your computer is doing anything in the background
It worked the second time
I have too much open to be fair, did flick between whatsapp and stardew when it closed
heh
Hey guys, I'm having an issue with Stardew Valley crashing. It crashes when using and not using SMAPI and I have no idea why. https://log.smapi.io/gUni8i6F
looks like an xnb mod gone wrong
can you verify your game integrity in steam ?
(properties -> local files)
I did that
and still the same issue? hmm
Yeah
did you restart your computer?
Yep
can you
update this
(and maybe this https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net452)
maybe i should type my issues here instead ahh
Installing now

gotcha
👍
feel like in the modding chat things get buried pretty fast haha
always
I'll come back to you after taking care of that if you want
@blissful relic is that the SMAPI not launching issue?
yeah
can you as well click the two links i sent earlier
and update these?
then restart your computer
(turning it on and off sometimes work lol)
and Wizard can't load
apparently not
why on earth would the wizard not work
are you sure you verified your game integrity for SDV?
Yeah
I could delete just the wizard and try again
yeah or that why the heck not
im uhh...on a mac
delete the xnb of the wizard and verify game integrity
@blissful relic, same thing
it's for everyone
did you try to reinstall Mono as well?
umm
yes?
im really dumb no i didnt
i mean i have it. the mods and stuff were showing two days ago
reinstall it anyway, sometimes it happens to like
bug or something
idk how mac works
me either
this is not a game break or a bug :c you should ask in #stardew-spoilers !
or look on the wiki!
See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Journey_of_the_Prairie_King#Upgrades (but see above).
:D
@copper hollow I tried your suggestion of restarting, but I still can't get the steam overlay or screenshots to work. I tested other games (it works), and I tried other non-steam games (also works), so it seems to be Stardew specific. I reinstalled SMAPI, double checked the launch options, etc. However! I tried it on a different PC and it works fine, the main difference between them is mine is windows 10 and the other is 7.
Have you checked in the settings for the game in steam to make sure the overlay is enabled there?
is this the appropriate channel for asking assistance on installing the stardew valley expanded mod ?
#making-mods-general would be better
ty
Hi guys! I was able to launch my game but none of my mods are showing up! 😦
I checked my launch settings and they are set to the modding api thing
and my mods are unzipped into the steamapps>common>Stardew Valley>Mods
and each has their own individual folder
I have CBJ item spawner, easy bundles, and a portrait mod installed but none of them are showing yp
Does anyone have any ideas what errors these might be?
!log
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
And -> #making-mods-general
Non steam games don't seem to have a specific overlay option, but there is a global option and that seems to still work for all the others.
Non steam games?
That might be why it's not working. You shouldn't add Steam as a non-Steam game, you should change the launch options for Stardew Valley instead.
Is anyone else having trouble with Multiplayer? My internet is fine, my friends is fine yet the server keeps losing connection. Any ideas on what we can do?
Did that change? I've never set the launch options for Stardew Valley itself, and always set it for StardewModdingAPI. But just to see, I set it for Stardew and it still doesn't work.
Just to clarify, it used to work. I unlocked most of the achievements while using it, SMAPI even has it's own screenshot folder for all the ones I took when it was working, etc.
howdy guys, whenever I start a new farm and play for a while, then leave the game, my save gets deleted :((
does anyone know how to fix this?
does anyone know if you need to backup stardew if you switch computers or something like that?
i bought it on steam but my computer got a virus and im planning on factory resetting it but im not sure if steam will save my data ;;
i believe steam saves it on steam cloud
but backup your saves anyways because steam cloud doesn't save as often as you'll expect it to be
i have updated smapi and it still wont show my main save file in the game
thank you !!
every save files works fine except for my main one
https://i.imgur.com/HlffkPM.png ugh, this keeps happening when I walk to the left of the beach and destroying my day
cause it causes an infinite laoding screen
!log
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
most of us cannot read something that small, especially on mobile
always provide a log when you have an issue
Wait really? I checked it on my phone and it expands to a readable size, my bad
also it give 0 info on the error
logs give us TRACE that are not visible in the console
it's SVE
can you reinstall it with all the updated versions please
ALL isn't seeing the BlueMoonVineyard correctly and crashes
Ah, is that what's left of the beach?
yes
No wonder, alright
just reinstall everything with the last version and you're good to go
On it, thanks Zola

is it a normal bug to not be able to give pierre stuff when he is behind his counter?!
its his birthday trying to give him a golden potato but even if i have the gift option on him it asks if i want to eat the potato each time T_T

doesn't matter, something maybe happened etc :3
Hi, I opened up my Stardew Valley after a month or so, but when I clicked on my savefile, the game stopped responding. I'm currently on mac, and I even tried updating the SMAPI that I've been using. Nothing happened. Did I do something wrong or did I miss out on a few updates for mac users?
No; do you mind if you tell me how? I really don't know the details, sorry
Sure!
no worries, give me a min please
This page explains how to install SMAPI (the tool which lets you use mods) on MacOS. See also:
it's on this page!

Alright, thank you

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
I crash like 10% of the time when I go into any part of the mine via the elevator
sometimes it just takes 3-5 minutes to load it
and sometimes it never does and I have to close the game
sometimes its like 10-15 seconds of load time
Yes, but this happened even before that
It's been happening since forever hahaha
it seems like a mod issue, can you go in #making-mods-general ?
sure
!log
There is a bug where the sword block animation stays even when walking. It usually happens when I block and try to swing pickaxe. It’s fixed when triggering other animations.
There was also another encounter when Willy was just a literal brown bar when he was fishing on the deck.
Basically, both his body and fishing pole hitboxes were filled in brown. He was still interactable
I've experienced the sword block glitch a few times as well.
good morning, I found an item duplication glitch in multiplayer
is this the place to post it?
thanks 😃
thanks 😃
sure thing!
I wonder if its been reported before 🤔
it happened on accident but its super easy to do
@visual flare #making-mods-general for mod support please
What is the latest android version? I see 1.20, and the wiki says 1.20 is latest, but I've seen people mention 1.21, 1.22 and 1.24
1.20 for android. Apple products current version is 1.27
Is this the right place to ask for support on streaming with mods?
@buoyant mural nope, it's #making-mods-general !
see descriptions of the channels for more info
Hello. I'm having a problem. So, the keys aren't working (Ex: WSAD and Esc) but the mouse is working perfectly fine. I'm.noy using any mods and I just started the game yesterday so I'm still new to it.
Yeah, I'm on Windows. The laptop is a Lenovo.
D:
alright I'll have a look but as a lenovo laptop user: i'm sorry for you
(they suck and super fragile and bad quality)
Alright, take your time. Yeah I know.

SMAPI (https://smapi.io/) is the mod loader for Stardew Valley. It loads mods into the game, provides APIs for mods to use, intercepts errors, and backs up your save files automatically.
can you install this first?
Yeah wait a sec.
awesome
It's not working actually. I'm not sure why.
Well right now, I'm on my phone. So is that why it's not working?
oh no no
I want to see if the game sees you typing on the keyboard at all
and SMAPI has a feature for that
Ok so, I'm sorry if I'm confusing lmao. So, on stardew, I can't escape to desktop. There for, I can't use SMAPI on my laptop. And it's also not letting me use it on my phone.
No I can't. The whole keyboard isn't working lmao
Yeah. It's not working. It's like stardew froze my laptop but I can only use the mouse.
Lmao
he had one too, we know the pain
The funny thing is I get so confused easily. And I'm not good with laptops and stuff. So I'm legit laughing as I fail at everything.
Oh alright.
Im sorry to bother you again but how long do you think this would take?
depends on when Pathoschild drops by or someone else knows
I held down the power button until it actually did something. I'm restarting my laptop. I guess it's just luck lmao
I know! I'm actually amazed lmao
I held it down before but then I tried again and then it worked 🤦♀️
But thank you so much! You took that time to try to help me and you actually did.
Ok. Thank you!
I have been doing nothing but chop trees and forge in general for 2 in game months and I am still level nine like I was 2 in game months ago am I doing something wrong?
hey guys do i have to make a new save file to make the longevity mod to work?
nope
So I hope this is the right area for this, but I am fairly new to mods and smapi
but the DeepWoods mod for Stardew Valley, it crashes my game everytime I try to open a farm
I tried it by itself without any other mods and got the same effect.
Is there something I am missing?
Try #making-mods-general instead
ah okay
ayy, would this be the place to ask about resolution issues and alt keybinds
Probably
I just got the game downloaded on my new computer and no matter what the resolution or windowed setting is, the top of the screen is perpetually cut off
Like this
Hmm, that's a new one
It makes fishing a pain
(@sharp topaz You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
Does this new computer have some terrible resolution?
This is the first time I've had issues with the resolution
Try going here
(@hexed apex You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
That might help
I believe it's 1366x768
Which stardew should support, as it's one of the default options
Yeah, that was going to be my next question, whether it was like that in windowed and fullscreen modes..
I tried all 3 options at all of the default resolution options
All of them have that issue
Ugh, yes... Why does anyone make anything with such poor resolutions these days 
You can change the resoloution
That top one doesn't work?
The last one should be your resolution
Do you have SMAPI?
I don't know what that is, so probably not
Click that "zoom buttons" toggle, and use the - button that appears in the game to zoom out... see if that helps?
How do you back up your save again
I know it's only 4 days into spring but i'm not going to waste it not getting money
Actually nevermind, i'll just make a new throwaway save to test
yeah good idea
uh what
is zoom options only for one save file?
that's really bizzare
I guess it's just straight up not saving the option to keep zoom toggle on
That is very weird
That seems a bit annoying for stuff like this
Oh well
That's 80% zoom so I guess that's fixed then
Ah, good
Anyways, the other thing I wanted to ask about
Would this be at all playable on a controller, or more specifically, an arcade stick?
Or would I have to do some hacky shit with joy2key for that to work?
I think people have had mixed results... Probably works fine with xbox controllers but not so well with others, but I've not really tried. Remapping to keys should be fine though.
I see
Secondary question then since my stick is a nintendo switch one
I don't have a mouse with a wheel else i'd test it myself, but can you select your current tool with mousewheel?
If you can do that I could set up a config real quick and it'd probably work fine
Ah, antimicro?
Third yep
I only found out about it after I got my stick
Would highly reccomend over joy2key
Yeah
Anyways, thanks for the help
Is there ever gonna be CO-OP for mobile?
We don't know yet, it's not confirmed
Aww okay, because me and my friend play on mobile and have always wanted to play together. But thanks anyways!💕
is there any way to spawn in items without the cheating mod? i accidentally sold all my sprinklers ;_;
er wait lemme ask in modding
Playing on mobile, winter year two, still no krobus cutscene
Hi! Are you host or owner of the cabin?
im host
You can't then
The cabin can only be upgraded by the owner
!mobilesupport ozne1#4790
@austere bridge This is support from the community, but most of us play on PC. For mobile issues/questions, you may have more luck asking on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/b0syp7/stardew_valley_now_available_on_android/) or the forums (https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/stardew-valley-android-ios-known-issues-and-fixes.153425/) which the mobile developers are monitoring.
I didn't see you message earlier I'm sorry
oh so now i have to invite someone to upgrade it? 😮
my sound levels keep resetting when I exit the game
the sliders are at the right place but the actual audio levels are much higher
win 10 steam version
Okay, just checking, carry on 😄
lol
are there forum mods that bump issues up to the dev?
there's an item dupe bug I posted I'm guessing has to do with guest clients being able to tell the server they picked up items instead of the host client deciding the logic
probably not an easy fix but I hadn't seen the trick mentioned before
I posted it on the forums already xP
Chucklefish Forums
thanks though, was just wondering about the review process
ohhh okie
Hello everybody..
I'm a little German technical idiot but I would love to play with Mods Stardew Valley. Unfortunately, this error message comes when starting SMAPI. Could you please help me? https://log.smapi.io/hfLCj7ty
@unreal escarp hi! can you translate the text in german please?
just the first line
(I prefer that than google translate it)
@full knoll Ich bin ein kleiner Deutscher technischer Idiot und würde sehr gern Stardew Valley mit Mods spielen. Leider kommt beim Starten von Smapi diese Fehlermeldung.
no no, in the log!
sorry!

Die Sequenz enthält keine Elemente.
OH
I'm stupid
hold on
i was totally confused in this moment 😋
(@unreal escarp You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
ok. i am trying this. just a moment, i will tell you if it works


Hey, I just opened my game and it has my wife (Hailey) listed as an ex? She won’t speak to me, and she went back to living with Emily. However I never divorced her. She kinda just left me?
Hello. Im having trouble getting my SVE installation up and running. Would someone be willing to give me a hand?
When i start the game, the CMD box pops up and throws some errors
@hard aurora #making-mods-general please
@marsh ember You can also open a second copy of the game, and connect to yourself using these instructions: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/Test_and_Troubleshoot#Testing_in_multiplayer. (If you don't have SMAPI, just launch Stardew Valley.exe instead.)
@grand sparrow Weird, I've never heard of that happening. Which platform do you play on?
TKS
Hey, my friend recently got the game and he tried to join my farm, now no matter what we tried he could never join mine and i could never join a farm he hosted, but if our other friend hosted it was all alright... i have no idea what to do if im honest
@vernal frost Hi! Are you all playing on PC?
Heythanks for the quick response, yes we are all playing on pc.
Alright, any of you use Mods?
Nope, just the normal game.
(@vernal frost You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
Yup, we both tried turning our firewall off and it still did not work.
next step: can I have a screenshot of your friend's Co-op menu?
or i could maybe ask: is there only written "join with LAN"
thanks for the help, take all the time you need.
alright sorry
I was trying to see what was said before in the channel
Can you try to all connect with Hamachi instead?
SDV uses Peer to Peer to connect, and well sometimes routers or Steam/GOG just... doesn't work as good as it should
(especially steam iirc)
alright we will try that thanks
sure thing
hey we tried hamatchi and we still get the same result
Try this:
- Install SMAPI: https://smapi.io/.
- Run the game through SMAPI.
- Upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io/.
- Share the log link here.
(You can remove SMAPI later, we're just using it to see what the problem is.)
(well yeah can you even do it another way with hamachi?)
(I don't know we could have still be trying to do an invite code or a real IP instead of the Hamachi LAN or etc :P )
(runs away from Zola's #vanilla-tech-support)
(I almost typed #zola-support but I wasn't sure it would land the way I meant :D )
hey still did not work,
this is my log (host): https://log.smapi.io/wJPHjHwx
this is my friends: https://log.smapi.io/98RGZACK
did he try to connect?
yes
o-o
same thing connection failed.
Are all the animal happiness bugs fixed now?
oh lol
(yes)
I'll have a look in the channel again
@kind yarrow on PC, yes
version 1.3.3 iirc
Thanks @full knoll

they did WHAT
