I suppose that would do it, but I have been removing the recipe just in case their are other fixes it still needed to run

@ashen crystal fixed ❤️
so the explanation of the issue I've been experiencing is kind of long, because I tried to make it easier for you guys. is that alright?
post as much as you need to describe your problem
alright. Thank you. One moment. 😶
I've been having the very common problem of Stardew Valley not launching for quite a while now. Maybe a month now? I took a summer long break from it, so I assumed something happened to the files. I decided to reinstall, nothing.
It's launching & syncing but the window never pops up. Though, I do believe something is happening because for the past 2 weeks I've racked up a wopping total of 4 minutes trying to start it. It won't start from the .exe file either, and I've received zero error logs.
so far I've tried just about anything except for scorched earth. I'll list it for convenience.
• Ran Steam, and Stardew as Administrator.
• Verified the integrity of the files
• Plugged in working earbuds and troubleshooted sound problems because I've experienced them before.
• Playback devices were checked with the sound.
• Compatibility mode is disabled
• startup_preferences is deleted
• DirectX obviously doesn't work because I use Windows 10.
• Reinstalled XNA, and repaired it.
• Clean slate method tried about 3 times?
• I've uninstalled my mods, and SMAPI. Cleaned out SMAPI completely.
I run the game off Steam, and have a Lenovo on windows 10. I have about 160 hours on the game and I'd be really sad to see it go. Especially since the update came out. I kinda miss Shane too lmao.
how do i report a bug?
tried interacting with sell bin chest on farm with fishing pole in hand it threw the lure out and the game wont allow me to unreel or use any features for menus etc

If you've checked that it's not a mod bug, you can report bugs to the Stardew Valley developers here:
- PS4: https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/d8w5tn;
- Xbox: https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/dtk2d1;
- Other platforms: https://community.playstarbound.com/forums/stardew-support (do a quick search first so you don't report something they're already looking into).
There's a post on reddit too, Im pretty sure.

thank you kind soul ill check there
You're welcome.
hey guys, I've been experiencing some issues with stardew having weirdly low FPS and random CTDs, on loading an old save.
files have been verified, everything is running as it should be with proper perms
and the issue persists
no mods running
I'm going to try a reinstall, but I'm not sure if my save files will be safe, can anybody confirm what I need to do with that?
reinstalling the game should not affect your saves as they are stored in a different place
thank you, will update if issues persist
OK.....late game, year 4, update hit. I noticed super spoochal hat I wanted and made it...but it did not appear. I did it twice...nothing. It doesn't show up in inventory, and when I open inventory otherwise it does not let me close out or let me switch inventory tabs....I plan on bringing this up with a bug report of course, but I wanted to know if anyone else had issues with the ||witch hat|| that was just added in.
I also noticed that instead of getting new recipes I still only get reruns.....again, anyone else? Previous one leads to me having to close game while this other one....not as bad.
I believe recipes are set to certain days
so you'd have to wait till the right day to get the desired recipe
Ahh, that makes more sense
or the rerun of it
Right right
I believe the reruns were tweaked so you are more likely to get one you've missed, but it's not guaranteed
Ahh...well then. And what about the tailoring thing? Anyone else getting issues? Its legit just that one hat(or so I think.)
Thanks for the answers by the way
I'm not sure about the hat, I can test it in a bit though!
Alright but be careful, closing the game doesn't fix it once you save
That's what test saves are for XD
gestures at roles vaguely I have a million of them, no big if one gets wrecked
Super prepped daaang
still having bizarre hitching, freezing, and fps issues
in a game I was running at 180 fps when uncapped
Cheat mods 😄 I'm wrapping something up, I'll ping you when I find anything!

real quick while im back at the pc, if i can, i'll send a screenshot of something its doing
do i need to set it as spoilers or nah?
No spoilering necessary!
Sapphy, do you use any mods?
i do, but it hasnt effected anything else...let me get rid of my hat mod, now that i think of it[honestly, i thought it had been taken out]
hopefully that did the trick
if not, its def not the mod
or at least, not that one.
.......sapphy am dum
sapphy big dum.
i got the hats.
Good to hear
well uh...least i got one to put on my kid!
😄
XD crap man....i was worried it was something else
Is this the section to go when looking for help with a crash log from SMAPI?
Nope, #making-mods-general please!
Thank you!
Anyone around?
Idk what happened but i cant find Leah anywhere
I've been following her schedule and she isnt anywhere is says she is
Also everytime i goto her house it says its locked like shes not home
Anyone know how i can fix this?
Which platform?
PC
Modded or vanilla?
Vanilla
The easiest way to check would probably be to install smapi and use a debug command to locate her
!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.)
Instead of the log, install, load the game using SMAPI, and after loading your save, type debug whereis Leah into the console
That's fine, we can remove it after we determine if Leah is really missing or not
Okay
@tribal nacelle Downloaded Smapi and launched it but the command isnt working
Any error?
No just does nothing
Can you screenshot the console?
What button brings up the console?
It's the black box that opens before the game
Okay it says shes in her house
Okay, I would go down there asap and wait. You can always not save if needed
Ok
Periodically check to see where she is. If needed, we can warp you to her too
debug warp LeahHouse 5 5
It could be, or if you had mods that messed with her schedule and were installed in the game files, that could mess with it
No i was running Vanilla
But we verified she's in the game at least, so you might have just had bad luck XD
Over in #making-mods-general yes. But I really should be going to bed :/ There's a few others on right now too!
Oh okay thanks then! 🙂
Welcome!
Noob question. How do i collect milk
Got it Thanks!
(This channel is for bugs or crashes, so you'll want to try #stardew-spoilers next time :) )
Oh okay sorry!
All good!
@raven jewel i don't think you got an answer, the chan can be pretty busy at the moment, can you try reinstalling smapi to provide a log ? sometimes smapi can provide a log with info even when base game doesn't have one
something like :
`
- 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.)`
hey can anyone help me fix a date glitch? i went to sleep on the 28th of spring and woke up on the 30th of summer, while the save file displays the 3rd of fall. i'll dm you the save file. playing with SVE mods, multiplayer
this glitch
i'm frozen
just got out of opening a chest and accidently cast the rod while turning
escape doesn't work
just got a ton of fisr
how do I get unstuck
I just restart the game when that happens
heeeelp
uh smapi cant play with 1.4 but i dont know how to disable smapi
nvm did it
Did u update it
Hey guys, was playing the new update with some friends on the new multiplayer map with separated gold and once we closed the server and relogged, everyone's gold but Player 1's had been reset to 500. Is there a fix for this or will we have to start over?
Yes, they do. Just for reference though, gameplay questions belong in #stardew-spoilers. Also, SMAPI has been updated to work for 1.4, so you should just need to update it and it will work again. Check #making-mods-general if you need any help with that :)
@marsh pebble What platform are you on
Anyone else seeing issues where the game will crash if you go to sleep with fish in the ||fish pond||?
What could be the problem that after copying save and surviving the first day I want to go to sleep and fall asleep but does not show me how much I earned on that day only for a moment there is a black screen and the game closes (crash)? I will add that the world was created on version 1.3* (previous) and now I am playing on 1.4.
Hmm... I think if that was causing problems, we'd have seen plenty of reports about it.
!log
Where is the bot...
Upload your crash logs to https://log.smapi.io/... If you don't have SMAPI, you can install it for the purposes of getting a log, then remove it once the problems are fixed.
lemee see if i can get a log smaller than 6 MB 😆
dang, looks like its gonna be a 6MB crash log no matter what
https://log.smapi.io/d1c109889f834c2f9f80fea380e2fd71 fish pond finished building. grabbed a lobster, threw it in the fish pond, went to bed.
does it with any fish that I put in the pond, and does not crash if I leave the pond empty.
@harsh sage ask for help with a log in #making-mods-general if you still need help!
Ok, I fixed a bug with crashing the game after going to bed. But thanks for your help ;p @rocky pagoda
Ah... What was it?
Anyone happen to know if I verify game files on steam, will it clean the stardew folder of all mods / modifications on xnb files not in the smapi mod folder? Or would I just have to uninstall and download again?
I would backup your mods folder.
I can't do the command, as the bot is missing... But basically, do not use XNB mods. There are plenty of reasons why you shouldn't, including them almost certainly being out of date thanks to 1.4
OH, didn't know that, it's been a while since I last played stardew modded, I think I was using a mod that made a folder called JsonAssets, so probably that?
Uhh
@rocky pagoda Crack(translation*) on my language was flawed (previous version does not work with the latest version of the game)
Mods in the Mods folder will be fine if you verify, as will files created elsewhere. It's only old XNB mods that replace the game's own files that would be affected.
Ah...
Oh no wait, it's not that, that folder is empty
I was using contentpatcher
Any modern mod won't have any problems if you verify.
Got it, hopefully nothing breaks too much, thanks for the help! 
Hi is anyone else having issues using an xbox 360 controller with the new update? I'm having some weird glitchy issues happening.
I'm trying to figure out if it's the update itself or some mod I have installed
Windows 10. And there are a few I've noticed, but right now the main one is that the cursor isn't moving properly. When I'm in chests, the cursor keeps jumping up to the chest when I'm trying to move things around. It won't stay down in my inventory, and won't move around in the menu.
And I do not have any mods installed that affect my chests at this time.
I know they tried to improve controller mechanics, can you test it vanilla to make absolutely sure?
yeah let me go do that real quick
Welp. It's apparently a mod I have because vanilla works fine sigh
I found a problem with 1.4, it’s not big just a little annoying. What happened is I had the penny 14 heart event and 3 days latter I wake up with penny, but instead of the bedsheets and the bed it self loading it’s a floor tile pattern?!?!
Pop into modding with a log if you need help. I would try 50/50 method first if you can
Any mods Carolina?
Sounds like a bad tilesheet mod
Almost any mod that edits farmhouse tiles and even some that only edit the house can have issues. Because of changes to various assets, a modding problem is much more likely in cases like this.
That hasn't been updated yet
It could also be a map mod that doesn't label tilesheets to preserve their order, causing glitchiness with anything that swaps sprites dynamically (bed, cellar stairs, etc)
Try loading your save, then typing patch summary in your SMAPI console. It should dump out a whole bunch of information that will then show up in your log, which you can upload to https://log.smapi.io (see instructions at that page for how to find it!) Share the link in #making-mods-general and we can try to help track it down :)
@wild roost Are you still having that fish pond issue? Try throwing a fish into the pond, then emptying it once, before throwing your "real" fish into it. (This only seems to happen on modded saves.)
I have bathroom after 2nd house upgrade would that do it?
Yep.
I have an update for this on a different computer, it will take me a bit to rescue.
Oh ok what should I do, because I really like the mod
Ok, so you have an update for it?
You can keep an eye on the forum thread for 1.4 updates!
Although, I think Mousey's just appends, so it shouldn't cause that specific issue - are you using this one ? https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods#Bathroom_After_2nd_House_Upgrade
Content packs that are broken will be updated there
Yes the one that’s by DevilBro
The update though
What I mean is that there is an unofficial update by MouseyPounds linked there, is that the one you're using?
(The original mod causes other issues, too.)
(Also, should probably change channels, since it's a mod problem)
No
If you download that one, that should help, though it will still need a smol update for a different thing.
Ok thanks! And sorry for being on the wrong channel
You'll need a Chucklefish forum account if you don't already have one, but it's worth getting since all the unofficial updates live there. Feel free to ask for help in #making-mods-general if you get stuck anywhere or still have issues. (Don't forget a log!)
I have one
Just before I leave what is the unofficial update called
The creator is MouseyPounds
Right?
Yes, that alternatives page on the wiki links to this post https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/migrating-xnb-mods-to-content-patcher-packs.141577/page-20#post-3283861 which is where you download it.
Will try that tip once I get back home, thanks mouse 
@hidden cairn SMAPI didn't give me any error logs when I did in fact try to encourage it to provide me one, but I can try again since I've moved a few things around.
yes, trying again may help !
so, I reinstalled SMAPI and I'm still not receiving any error logs.
hmm, i think some people got this issue but i don't remember the fix... 😦
do you have permissions to write on these folders ? maybe it's a permission issue that cause all of this
When you launch the game, does the SMAPI console come up (a second window with a bunch of text)?
I went through and checked the permissions a week ago I believe, so I don't think that's the issue :(
yeah, the console pops up. I have the big block of text it gave me if you want that.
Yeah, if the log won't create, that text is the best we can do. Feel free to use pastebin.com or hastebin.com if there is a lot of it
all I know so far from trying to figure this out is that it's not a memory, or file location error
for SMAPI at least
HELP! Steam overlay and steam configured controller not working with smapi even when using correct steam launch command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%
(above copied directly from smapi install)
steam launches smapi fine and smapi caches steam id but no overlay and controller doesnt work.
only way to get controller working is to disable steam controller config entirely.
heres log if useful:https://log.smapi.io/cK9CzT2u
I've tried resarting steam, whole pc, and reinstalling stardew and smapi from scratch, completely reinstalling steam and still no dice.
at this point im 99% convinced its a bug, any ideas?
@raven jewel That is the BadImageFormatException error which sometimes happens and is hard to deal with. For some people, uninstalling and reinstalling XNA framework (particularly version 4.0 from the Steamworks Shared directory) or reinstalling/repairing .NET have helped. There is also an old thread on Chucklefish forums where someone had to move around some DLLs (https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/badimageformatexception.139990/)
I've done things with both XNA, and .NET, so might as well do something with the DLLs by now. I'll try that and see if that works
there's only four of them and I recently updated the mods
what is _ExitOnFatalAssert ?
@warm dagger Are you following this guide? https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Option_A:_use_SMAPI.27s_installer Make sure you take out the whole SMAPI Installer folder from the zip before you try to run the installer - don't try to run it from inside the zip. If that doesn't help, we can help you try to figure it out in #making-mods-general
:33< Thank you, I will try this and see what happens
@winged kiln Do you mean that you expected other mods to be installed, but only have 4 in the log? Are you double sure that the folder you've installed all the mods in is /Users/anhthotran/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS/Mods ?
Oh, well they show up in the log. Are you having problems with them?
Oh, well that's different. There weren't any errors in the log 😄
Does it start if you temporarily rename the Mods folder?
yes, it says on the terminal _ExitOnFatalAsert

_ExitOnFatalAssert
This hasn't happened before so IDK. I just played the game the other day
Let's try resetting your content files (which will also uninstall SMAPI, sort of) and make sure the game still runs okay unmodded, then if it does we can reinstall SMAPI and make sure you've got the right version. Can you follow the instructions here to do a reset ? https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files
Sorry, if you're using Steam it would be here https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335
ok it's currently validating the stardew valley files
it said 1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired
That's normal! It noticed you had this weird start-up script that didn't match what it expected, and put it back to the original. So next time you run the game from Steam, it will be vanilla instead of trying to load SMAPI, first. (To make sure it works)
Yeah, do you still have same issue?
At least there's that!
I would just reinstall SMAPI, it will handle cleanup on its own. If you get the same error, try restarting your computer.

any ideas?
After that... troubleshooting 
I haven't seen the SMAPI overlay issue on Windows. The overlay and the controller work fine when SMAPI is not installed? @limber python
@median crypt yea they work perfectly when i get rid of launch command to run normal smapi
its a real headscratcher, last night someone told me it likely a steam issue but ive already reinstalled steam
For the controller, you could try using something like https://inputmapper.com/ as a last resort, but since there's no way to disable the console on Windows I'm not sure what do do about the overlay 
ive messed with every steam setting under the sun and no dice
There's an option to disable the overlay for each game in Steam... Make sure that isn't enabled?
unfortunately i relly need the steam overlay cuz ive set this up so a disabled family member can play and their control setup requires steam controller config
@rocky pagoda yea ive looked into that, overlay is def enabled and can confirm works for other games and vanilla stardew
If it works with no launch option, try renaming the existing Stardew Valley.exe, copy the StardewModdingAPI.exe and call it Stardew Valley.exe, then starting the game with no launch options should run SMAPI.
Oh, uh, yeah... I seem to remember I suggested a config option for that a while ago...
We do get people occasionally having controller issues in general with SMAPI, that's why we have a section here for it
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Controller_doesn.27t_work_properly_with_SMAPI_.28Steam_only.29 I think it's something to do with the console intercepting input or something 😦 If you've triple checked all those and can't use a third party option, I'm not sure what other options there are. We can appeal to Pathos, but I expect if he had a simple solution it would be on the wiki.
yea smapi cant launch without the regular stardew exe
Steam generates a whole load of logs in Steam/Logs, one of which may help with why the overlay isn't working
yea i also kinda think its the console window but cant be sure
Try adding a non-steam game in steam, point it to the SMAPI exe?
ok
no dice
launches fine but still no steam overlay
where can i find steam api logs?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Logs
i was able to fins a game overlay renderer log but it just is a list of dll files
Yeah, they're a mess, good luck finding anything there, but it seems like the kind of thing it should log somewhere.
@median crypt I got everything to work, thanks for the advice!
so looking at gameoverlayui.exe.log i see "GameOverlay exiting due to missing PID argument"
hey when you guys open smapi in the command prompt window what does it say right after it lists your cached steam id?
mine says [API loaded no]
@median crypt that did the trick
im tryna join a friends farm via invite code but whenever i enter the code it connects and then says connection failed, any help? :(
!mphelp
If you can't create or use invite codes, try the steps listed here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Can.27t_connect_to_another_player_in_multiplayer
Try doing those to troubleshoot!
can it be bc i have mods?
It could be, we usually recommend all players have the same mods. You could test it without them to see if there might be an issue there!
Windows or Mac?
windows
Go to your Stardew Valley folder and launch from StardewValley instead of StardewModdingAPI
@hexed apex Did you go through everything on the link Minerva sent? https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Can.27t_connect_to_another_player_in_multiplayer
everything except step 6 and 9....
Do them all please
Glad you got it working!
thanks for the help!
First of all, you seem to have multiple Karmylla's maps installed and second of all you can ask in #making-mods-general for more help
ahh wasnt sure which chat to ask, thought that one may be for guys that are creating mods 🙂
It's fine, its a common confusion
It's for all modding XD They won't give us two yet
hhaha how rude 😄
@ashen crystal sadly, that didn't work. All the dlls were in the corrects spots (I checked using Dependency walker). I'm adding a discussion on steam to see if anyone has any suggestions. I'm starting to think I missed something. Thank you for the help you've provided so far though. 
Has anyone had a message or comment from CA about gift preferences changing? Specifically, some villagers now like bread and some dislike fruit tree fruit. It wasn't in the change notes, but the Dwarf's new-found like of Cave Carrots was. I'd hate to ping him, but.... hours of wiki work are riding on the answer. 😄
I can do a diff if you give me some time
A diff? I have the changes specified, I just want to know if they're a bug that's going to get fixed...
Sorry, I dunno what a diff is...
Comparing the 1.3.36 version with the 1.4 version
(i suppose a diff is a way to check the difference between old and current gift taste ? in any case i don't think the changes are a bug)
Ah, well that's the thing, the data file hasn't changed
Just the code
I don't know if the code changes caused unexpected gift taste changes
Even if they did, is CA ok with them?
argh
Possibly some universal likes/dislikes changed then. Might have to compare the decompiled code from 1.4 and 1.3 to compare
You could DM him or message him on Reddit
(he pretty much never answers pings here, too many people pulling stunts with it)
Well, I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and do it.
Ah, thanks for the tip
But he will answer DMs usually, its the best bet. Good luck!
Oh, thanks Minerva!! For this, and for everything!
Welcome~
hey guys looks like there's a bug related to clint's quest
everytime it asks me to give him a certain amount of cooper ores
when i try to give it to clint the game understand as if i'm trying to give him a gift
instead of a quest item
so i'm not able to complete the quest
Don't talk to him holding them, just have them in your inventory
That's nothing new, it's always been that way
maybe for you , but i have never done the quests like that
so this "new" old way , is something new to me
anyway thaks
actually i tried it now
https://steamcommunity.com/app/413150/discussions/1/1620600279676924127/ It's been that way for a very long time. But yes, just have them in your inventory, you aren't giving them to him like the "i want this thing" quests
and didn't work
Does your journal show the amount collected?
oh so i assume that's the new thing
now having the item is not enough , you must go to the mines and use pickaxe to get them
even if you have a lot of them already
?
Yep, they removed the "take them out of the chest one by one" bug
You have to go collect new ones
damn...
You can read the patch notes to see what bugs were removed; they are on the wiki and on the SDV site
Would somebody be able to help me with updating SMAPI? Ever since I updated my Apple, I haven't been able to figure out how to make it so my computer will read the SMAPI file.
What's the specific issue you're having?
It says it's a bad CPU type in executable,
I tried following the instructions Apple had, but that didn't seem to do anything, or I wasn't understand it correctly.
Okay, thank you.
Has anyone gotten any issues with launching the game? I'm asking for a friend because we did nearly everything that there is to do and we can't get his to work.
What happens?
He clicks on play (steam version) and it says he's playing it for like 3 secs and it just won't launch.
And uh... Why are you asking for him?
He doesn't have discord
I was with him through trying to fix it, but we can't find any solutions.
We went through the site checklist (we discovered he didn't have the same folder I did which was the common redist one, but adding it and running xna didn't fix it) and we tried a few other things like putting back the default launch settings (we used SMAPI for multiplayer mods), but nothing seems to be working so far.
It is not difficult to "get discord" though...
And the default launch settings are completely blank, nothing in the box.
Yes, but we used SMAPI launch settings before he encountered this
Does it start if you run the game exe or the SMAPI exe directly, rather than starting from steam?
It fails to work
He did give me something he got from the SMAPI direct launch
Though this seems to be a fair wall of text
!log
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io/ (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
Hi, I think I just hit a weird 1.4 bug. Basically, I lost my sword after dying in the mine, and paid Marlon to mail it back to me. So far so good. At the same time my axe was being upgraded by Clint. The next day I talked to him and he said "your forest sword is not ready" (instead of steel axe). Then the day after that the notification said "forest sword" instead of steel axe, and much to my dismay he actually gave back to me a forest sword instead of an axe, so I don't have an axe at all anymore.
Sounds like that may be a bug... But if you have no axe at all, you should get a new one the next time you sleep.
Ok, it just happened and I didn't reach the end of the day so I'll try
I was worried I may have to edit my save or whatever
Is there anything I can do to help debug ?
Hello, I was just wondering how to delete animals from a save file since I still have some BFAV animals on my main file farm after the 1.4 update and whenever i go into the barn the game crashes, thank you so much!
An unofficial BFAV update was posted in #making-mods-general earlier, just search for it
ok thank you!
Welcome!
Is it normal not to have an error logs folder? Because I checked with him and he doesn't have one.
If SMAPI gave a wall of text, it should have also logged it.
It's strange because I do have the text wall he gave me, but he also gave me a screenshot that he just doesn't have an error logs folder.
I guess paste the text on the log site, if that's all you have.
Though looking at the code from the wall of text, I'm just gonna guess it's another XNA error because it failed to run it
It couldn't parse the log from the console text. I'll just see if I can find the file or something because what it gave me was "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.dll' or one of its dependencies.", which I'm just gonna guess is another XNA issue.
Though thanks for the help
If you go to the folder above the game folder, "common", there should be a "Steamworks Shared" folder there, and in there is the XNA stuff. Try reinstalling that.
Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Nothing_happens_when_you_launch_the_game for links).
He's restarting his PC after the reinstall/install
@rocky pagoda I did get an (non-upgraded) axe in the mail, so my save isn't ruined, which is nice 😄
Unfortunately, nothing seems to have improved
If you hadn't, there's always the option (assuming you aren't already playing with 3 others) to build a cabin, steal an axe from it, then delete it. But I think the automatic tool replacement should be working well after 1.4.
XNA installer has options to repair or remove... Try repair, and if that doesn't work, try remove then install again.
That's not working either. He's given up due to frustration so I can't really do anything else, but at least we found out where the root of the problem lies. Thank you for the help.
I'm having an issue with playing the game on an ultrawide monitor. My monitor is 3440x1440. When I'm in windowed fullscreen, if I zoom out (I like to play at 75% zoom), a black bar appears on the right side of the screen, moving the clock info to the left and losing some of the screen real estate. This also makes the zoom buttons and journal button un-clickable. Does anyone know how to fix this?
This happens if I launch with Stardew Valley.exe or StardewModdingApi.exe, so it's not a mod issue
https://log.smapi.io/piMdDGFh does anyone know why my game keeps crashing when i try to go to sleep?
I'd just not use any kind of fullscreen, and adjust the window size until those problems aren't there.
@pine inlet Looks like the fish pond thing people have been running into only when using mods (for which you'll generally get more help in #making-mods-general ) Try putting a crappy fish in your empty ponds after building, then emptying them (you won't get the fish back), before putting the real fish you want in it.
and adjust the window size until those problems aren't there
Ahh, so you're saying don't play full screen, full stop?
oh, i see! thank you so much! yeah, i was putting stuff in my fish pond
Yes, exactly.
You can try https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2266, which may help, but that may only work for too-small windows, rather than too big.
XNA itself may not support such wide sizes... It has problems with textures over 2048 or so at least, so there may not be anything that can feasibly be done.
I posted a bug in the forum. I'll just play at 85% zoom fullscreen for now, since that doesn't show the black bar
can steam players play with pc players
Steam is PC
because i noticed steam and pc are always different catagories
The two PC versions are Steam and GOG, plus OS differences (Windows, Mac, Linux). They all have cross play between each other
Technically you can play as a standalone as well
SDV is DRM free, yes. So once you buy it, you don't need to keep Steam. But you can only play LAN co-op if you do that
can anyone help me figure out why our game keeps crashing?
ive got the smapi crash log but its like reading runes
#making-mods-general please
if your game is modded, provide a log in modding
oh i apologize
I am having fun modding this game what else can I add?
Mods should be discussed in #making-mods-general please. There's a pinned link to a list of helpful things, including a mod rec's list
I got an update from GOG and just checked, the Linux installer is now available! cc @gentle vine @fluid field @austere bough
Awesome! @idle elbow an update on Linux for you!

hi, i'm trying to play multiplayer with my friend but its not working. she's hosting yet cant find an invite code anywhere
hey, nice! i'll pass that info onto CA as well. hopefully we can figure out some way of keeping the delays for GOG's linux releases lower, but unless we're missing something, it's mostly outside of our control
i cant join her through steam either, it just gives me "launch game" or "watch game" and thats it

Seems like it's a slightly newer build too?
362073756 (34283) vs 361914464 (34218) for the Windows/Mac versions
ahh nope never mind. There's updated versions for all out
the build numbers on GOG builds also are formattedly slightly differently from steam/the version numbers we use internally, so it should actually be saying 1.4.0.362073756 -- that should hopefully be something that gets fixed the next time we put up a patch!
(Oops, I saw that on reddit this morning and didn't realize people didn't know about it.)
@idle elbow I just triple checked and they're all saying the number you mentioned I think, so it's good it matches!
@idle elbow Hello again! Can I pick your brain about some of the gifting changes that aren't in the changelog? I was wondering if anyone had any plans to change gift preferences from the way they are now. Before I start making big changes to the wiki...
awesome deibu! thanks for checking it out
margot, i don't think we're going to be making any of those sorts of changes unless they're bug fixes, but i can't really promise anything since it's not really my call to make
anything that does change will be documented in the changelogs though
no, thank you for all that you have done! I'm so happy Stardew Valley exists and even though I haven't been able to actually play it nearly as much as I would like, it's already a big part of my life now, hopefully becoming even bigger soon, too. All thanks in large part to you, too 🙂
Very good, thanks for the reply! I'm going to hold off making some changes until at least Monday.
Switch version.
I'm unable to harvest/remove Crab Pots that are upward-diagonal. Downward-diagonal works perfectly fine, yet these ones are forever stuck. I've tried disabling controller-style menus but that doesn't work. Is there another way to remove 'em?
i'm gonna head off because i've got a little bit of work to do, but the crab pots don't always draw on the "tile" they're actually on -- they're visually offset sometimes, so try interacting with the tiles around where that crab pot is maybe?
(thank you for popping in Pod 💜 )
yeah of course! take care of yourselves!
Will keep trying, thanks for the advice Pod.
Renny, you did everything in the guide I linked you?
Yes :(
I'll check to see if I missed anything
Why does it appear like this?
@hexed apex it doesn't spawn
I just fish it
ok
Have u tried fishing it?
Not sure if it spawns or not but I fish it
Anwyays someone plz help me with the inventory
@lusty pike Have you tried who is hosting?
@hexed apex it spawns in the Ocean only according to the wiki
Probably a quirk of mobile

yes, the problem is that my friend just straight up doesnt have options for putting in codes or giving codes or anything else really
i dont know whats going on
shes restarting her computer and stuff again just to make sure
Whoops, sorry, I didn't quite finish that message. So switching who hosts doesn't work. And yes, both of you need to do all of the steps in that guide, sometimes there's an issue on both ends
Where can I find the photo?
@ashen plaza If you open your settings menu, at the very bottom should be an "open destination folder" for your screenshots.
Not in the actual save folder, the folder above that one
What

It's in the folder that looks like this, or you can do it the way mouse described

Hey! So, I'm having this weird problem, where I cannot host any Stardew Valley World, but I can connect to my friend's worlds.... Already tried hamachi, disabling firewall and port fowarding, could anyone help me please?

I've also search in the internet but haven't found much useful stuff.
I'm not trying to join via invite codes..
I'm using LAN.
That's odd then. You can try the steps listed there, especially resetting and checking for updates on your router
Typically hamachi is our last resort
Let us know if any of that helps!
This might be a strange request, but is there a way to revert to a previous version of Stardew?
It's mostly for the speedrun I'm doing
(New PC, forgot to turn off auto update from Steam)
https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/611h5e/guide_how_to_download_older_versions_of_a_game_on/ I found this with a scan. Not sure if it's still valid or not.
yeah that's my main concern. i found a more recent post on steam from last year, but not sure if it's still how it works
Someone posted a guide specific to Stardew Valley 1.4 recently, let me see if I can find it.
I should really check the SDV reddit more 😛 I just googled it
thank you~!
Where should I post about an issue with smapi?
#making-mods-general would be best
!log
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io/ (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
@hexed apex
I got this error and just noticed it when my game launches. Game runs fine, however, and I don't think it's mod related?
Seems like an error reading the fish data, and Easy Fishing changed the fish data in that log. Does it happen if you remove it temporarily?
Will check once this day is done 🙂
If that fixes it, I suggest reporting it to that mod's author with a link to the log. (I'll be heading to bed, but feel free to ask in #making-mods-general if it still happens.)
Thank you so much!
Welcome!
before I destroy this tree, what stupid placement made it not grow?
is it the thing behind it? it cant be my clay pot
Once you have done /movebuildingpermission how do you select "on"?
my game keeps crashing when I go to sleep at night - but only sometimes? https://log.smapi.io/80r0AhDM here's my last log, I'm not sure what's causing it
looks like the fish pond crash. are you adding a fish to an empty pond during that day?
@hexed apex thanks for heads up!
Mousey, is this a vanilla glitch or modded?
we believe it is a mod glitch but haven't tracked exactly which mod yet. it's hard to repro
Ahh okay, I'll stay away from the fishing ponds for now then
the workaround is drop a "sacrificial" fish into pond first, then empty it with the button, then put in your real fish
I'll try that tomorrow! Thank you for the tip!
I need help, its mod related, if thats ok

hello, my game crashes everytime i start a new farm. It crashes when i click skip intro and start. When i dont do that, it crashes after the intro. any help?
do you use mods ?
no
did you used mods in the past ?
no
try a reset just in case, if it doesn't work you may need to install smapi to see what the error can be
!reset
See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! You may also want to check this list of XNB > Content Patcher conversions (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods#Alternatives_using_Content_Patcher) to see if there are already replacements for any XNB mods you may have been using :)
i did the file check through steam
nothing happened
wait, could the problem be that the game is intsalled on an external Hard Drive?
@hidden cairn
moving the game
i don't think so but i'm not familiar with that
next step would probably be installing smapi for a log
!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.)
i figured out the problem
it was that my appdata stardew valley folder was a symbiotic link, but i dont use those anymore so the target folder got deleted.
Does anyone know why when I start the game and click the CO-OP option I only see the "Join LAN game" option? no "Join by invite code" or anything like that

Anyone here that could help me with an error "An item with the same key has already been added" - Trying to load my new game file closes the program, old game files work fine.

Hello everyone! Was just curious about something in 1.4. I was doing an experiment and found that I could only be roommates with Krobus, although with my experience I found that other people have gotten Alex and Abagail etc. to be roommates. Is there an item that is different from the shadows pendant
This is more a question for #stardew-spoilers... But Krobus is the only one with the "roommate" option. The others you get to live with you by marrying them.
Ok!
wow so now my save is work again after installing SMAPI
Upload your log then.
ok
what that message means? Is there a tree in the farm?

i just created a farm and have a similar message so i think something is not working well, maybe because of mods

so i keep trying to make a fish pond
but every time i throw a fish in there it never works, do the fish ponds not work in the winter time?
Never works how? Are you using mods?
There's a weird fish pond issue when using mods (maybe JA?) that you can work around by tossing in a sacrifish (a fish you don't want or care about :P ), then emptying the pond before trying to fill it for real.
(yeah if it's the case you can notice you have this issue because the shadow is wrong)

My issue isnt obtaining a connection in multi, its constant dropping
Could anyone think of a solution? Wife and I are playing multi in the same house on two PCs ( mine hardwired her running off of wireless). We have no issues getting onto a game via Lan or IP but then she will randomly get dropped
I opened port forwarding on my router and turned off firewalls on both PCs
Sometimes we can get through 2 in game days without a drop then she gets dropped and can instantly join back in
Im 90% sure its not my house internet speed
Two different steam copies. Thanks if you can help!👌
If you're using LAN, it's not going to be port forwarding or internet speed causing it... Disabled antivirus etc?
Can you try with hers connected with ethernet rather than wifi?
Hi I logged into steam on my friends pc, ran SDV and now that I am home at my PC I have all his Farmers in my games as well. I think the saves location does not include the username so his saves got loaded into my steam cloud. can I delete them without worries or is there a chance that I am able to remove his saves? (should not be since they are in his cloud but what if)
Unfortunately theres no way with the layout of our house to have her hardwire lol
I noticed firewall was enabled on both computers I didnt check antivirus
Instead of deleting them, just move them to another folder. Then if he tells you he's lost them (very unlikely), you could put them back.
Shes using a usb wifi adapter and generally doesnt have any issues staying connected to our internet with streaming or other types of gaming
will do so thanks
@crystal aspen Your saves should be safe even with a reinstall - check https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Find_your_save_files ! If you had SMAPI installed before, it should have also installed a mod called SaveBackup that did additional backing up in your saves, so unless the whole game folder was deleted there should be a backups folder still, too :)
@ivory ice If you right click your pond, after trying to put something in it the first time, does it give you the option to empty it? I didn't see anything on whether or not you are using mods, can you share your SMAPI log if so? https://log.smapi.io has instructions for how to do that.
no, it does not give me the option to empty it

hey uh is there a way for me to change my pet mid-save? even if i gotta use a save editor or smth
i made a new game for 1.4 and was so excited to play i didnt get to pick one of the new cattos haha
You can change the breed by going to the ||appearance shrine in the wizard's basement|| but you can't switch between cat & dog
So I'm trying to play on PC with Xbox One controller, but it seems like the mouse and controller are fighting over the position of the cursor? Anyone else have issues like this? Especially in menus like inventory, when I try to move the cursor with controller it jumps back to a different position
(playing with no mods, v1.4. This is the first time I've tried to play on PC at all)
is there a way to change clothes? sorry if thats a stupid question i'm very confused
In 1.4 clothes are now items. You can craft them at Emily's place once you have seen her event and some shirts are also available from vendors or drops. You equip them the same way you do rings and such
Hallo! This is happening to my game and I have no idea what to do
I'm playing on chromeos (chromebook) and bought this off of the google playstore
It happens anytime I close the game
Even when I'm certain to exit to title beforehand
Any help would deeply be appreciated because the game is becoming unplayable and I'm considering to have to refund it or start my progress over again :/
that's a new OS hmm. so is that Linux or Android?
It's an android app in an operating system based on linux- but mainly android 😁
Er- sorry, not really
I started playing yesterday so I'm not going to do mods yet ha ha
Alright, one sec
Thanks a ton
(I'm not promising anything, this is a completely new OS for us)
Yeah ha ha, I understand and appreciate the help
can you show a screenshot of your game without the errors?
I just want to see the UI to confirm whether it is Linux or Android
Er- that's going to be a bit difficult because I'm unsure as to how to remove the errors, but I'm quite certain that the game itself is android because I have no multiplayer support that someone on linux or desktop would have 😄
It's Android!
Something interesting, problems aside, is that I have keyboard input even while it's android
Comes handy when fishing ha ha
But yeah, I'm certain it's android
mouse here can help you :)
I was thinking that maybe trying to chop some wood would give me one of my tools back but it just looked like one giant black block
Also, thanks a ton!
Depending on the model you should also be able to install as a Linux app. I have a really crappy old chromebook that sorta ran SDV + mods before Android version came out.
Hmmmmm I see
Would there be any way to keep in android or would I have to refund it, go to a linux version, and then buy it and start over?
It doesn't look chromebook/OS specific though, since there are other people rejoicing about it working beautifully 
Yeah ha ha
One of the reasons this weirded me out was I found no support for this online
Which was why I came directly
The only other thing similar to this was a black screen upon loading
What model is this?
Oh yeah hmm, I see it, any time the game is closed until you completely restart chromebook?
Ah- it's an x360
I've yet to fully restart the chromebook but to my understanding the only time this issue has come up was when I actually closed the app 🙂
Does it help if you force close it? I'm not sure of the exact controls/UI for your version, but something like being able to long press it in a launcher, or right click it, that kind of thing, to get the option to force close. On my phone I can also view a list of all running apps and force close them there, too. (Slightly less convenient)
Hm, will do real quick!
Oh wow! Thank you so much! It just reverted and is back and working as usual!
Really kind of you to help, I appreciate it 🙂
Nice! Okay, so force closing or restarting chromebook. Kinda sucky but I don't see anyone that's found a way to avoid it happening to begin with. I'll note it and ping you if I see some magic thing later 😄
Mhm! 😄 At least I get to play the game ha ha
But yeah, thank you and have a nice day 😁
not entirly sure if its a bug but seaweed in the tidal pool area is stupid rare
Is there any known bugs with fish ponds? Just crashed my game in new day task
there is a mod related bug with fish ponds. Try placing a "sacrifice" low value fish in there first, then empty the pond, then put in the fish you want
(do you use mods?)
It's probably JA, but I don't think we have a 100% reproduction yet.
ah ok. thanks. And workaround is just to "initialize" the fish pond with bad fish first and immediately empty?
hah
new pin needed ^
New bot command: !fishpondbug
you guys are the best
we needed new pin, but mouse definitively has the best pun
@broken night : do you still have the save file that was crashing with the pond?

the fish pond just doesnt work, at all'
i throw a fish in, the next day it says that i can put a fish in still
it never actually registers the fish
anyone ever had the bug when right click hitting with the a club and changing equipment while doing causes you to get stuck until you use the tool? Had this a couple of times with my pickaxe which i could use but now I am stuck with the fishing rod and cant move, change the weapon, open any menu...
wolfgang, do you have SMAPI installed?
what is smapi? i have no mods installed if this is the question
it's the mod loader yeah. there is a command that can help with that if you did.
i don't know if there is a good way to reverse it in vanilla
thats bad for me freezed on level 89 with a ladder directly next to me and 6 gold veines on screen...
(I am pretty early in the game)
just out of curiosity, can you bring up the emote menu (press Y) and choose any of them?
nope the only thing that works is the command line (T) but after pausing and unpausing my hotbar stays invisible
try doing /emote no on the commandline
so effect :/

Okay, I'm having a major issue with fighting in the mines.
Example 1: while attacking with a sword, I incrementally move forward while standing still.
Ex.2: while attacking with the sword, I am unable to turn in place during combat.
Ex. 3: while attacking with the sword, even while aiming the correct direction, my character will suddenly aim a different or totally opposite direction.
Playing on pc
the first two are normal. You're animation locked while you're swinging, and it moves you forward just the tiniest bit.
Dunno about the last one.
The last one is the most frustrating
So, are those normal in the sense of becoming normalized, or bugs that just haven't been worked out?
Hiya! I was just on my stardew world and when i went to sleep the game crashed and the world is gone, is there anyway to recover the save or make sure it doesn’t happen again?
When i press load on the main menu the save file isnt there
Your save may still be there - check https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Save_disappeared_or_doesn.27t_load for some tips on tracking it down!
Thank you!!
Just wanted to be sure about the "normal" statement if that could be clarified.

When you attack with your sword, the animation is programmed to move you forward slightly, and not allow you to turn or move otherwise until the animation is completed, there hasn't been any indication of this changing.
On PC, when you attack with your sword, make sure your cursor is facing the monster you want to hit. Your sword sometimes aims where your cursor aims, rather than where your character is turned towards. (Usually when you mouse over an enemy and click)
My cursor is facing the monster I'm attacking, it still changes direction.
Tysm!! It worked

I'm not sure why it's turning, then.. I do feel like I've had the same issue before, though. I just try to make sure my character and everything is definitely facing the monster before trying to hit, now.
I remember about two years ago that I didn't have this issue with 2 and 3, so I'm not sure if it came up in a new update in 1.3 or what. But 3 is definitely stressing me out.
im just gonna assume no one knows how to fix the fish pond issue then since i asked this morning and tonight, as a recap, the pond will not activate. i throw a fish in and come back the next day, its not there. its winter time in my save if that might effect things.
!fishpondbug
There was a bug in JSON Assets with fishponds causing crashes when sleeping. Update JA to version 1.5.1 (or later) https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1720?tab=files
you aren't crashing, but if you are using JA, update anyway
If you aren't using JA, a log would be good
my game has crashed twice tonight in a very short amount of time. i was trying out discord streaming and had minimized the (fullscreen) game, and when i tried to switch back to it, the screen was black and crashed shortly after. this is the first log: https://log.smapi.io/jpKtrLFF I then updated JSON Assets and loaded the game back up again. tried streaming, had to minimize again and then it crashed again while trying to switch back. here is the second log: https://log.smapi.io/YrRrqryA
also i know the logs say to try updating ladderlocator but i already have; i think it's just an out of date update key
i already sent a log. this morning.
this has nothing to do with crashing when sleeping, i just cant get the fish pond to work at all.
Can you try it without CJB cheats installed? if that still doesn't help, a copy of your save would be useful

#making-mods-general please!
Okey dokey
Any crash log?
It's in the same location as SMAPI logs, see here to find the folder! It's in the same directory as your Saves folder, if you know how to find that. https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Find_your_SMAPI_log
Yep!
One moment while I load it
Hmm, looks like it failed on a dialogue loading. Have you ever used mods?
Any XNB mods?
(ones that override content files)
Let's do a reset just to be safe, and then see if you can cause the crash to happen again
!reset
See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! You may also want to check this list of XNB > Content Patcher conversions (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods#Alternatives_using_Content_Patcher) to see if there are already replacements for any XNB mods you may have been using :)
@blissful kestrel : Would you mine sharing a copy of that save that is crashing? You can DM if you like
Look like a bug to you too Mousey? Or you think something else is going on?
Don't worry about the video. the save will be more useful
Im a fairly new player but im curious if i can ever give linus a home?
Not at this time. There's actually an event where the subject comes up, though.
@blissful kestrel Thanks for all the info!
Oh okay. One day i hope
(Based on the contents of the event, I don't think it will :) )
Feel free to ask gameplay questions in #stardew-spoilers , though! @hexed apex
Oh my bad. Will do next time!
Thanks for the report galaxysword. We've passed it on to the devs. Delaying the quest seems like a reasonable workaround.
You got it Mousey?
yeah, verified it in vanilla.
How to fix this ,, btw I dnt know which mod cause it
#making-mods-general with a log please 🙂
You are using mods?
yep
(pinged you in modding with instructions)
Thank you
is it okay to re-post my message?
Sure, what's the issue?

Ah, bring those over to #making-mods-general please!
will do thanks!
Is anyone getting the issue in multiplayer on split money where the other players money is always set at 500g?
That's an issue when the host is on mac/linux. the devs are aware of it and working on a fix. You might want to swap to shared money until a patch comes though
Can i swap in the middle of a game? Or do i have to make a new one
you can swap mid-game. should be a book or something in the mayor;s house
Oh ty!!!
just want to ask, does the trees and bushes image always overlap the building like this?
is it possible to find out if your multiplayer farm has seperate money or shared? I haven't" opened" my farm yet, but forgot what I picked
@compact summit do you use mods?
@hexed apex yes, but i've tried to see it without mod but the result is same
then you need to reset bushes using Reset Terrain Features mod https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4715
oh idk if theres mod like that. thank you 😄
Dude, Starbot looks like something I always wanted but thought it would be impossible to make @covert ledge
i happen to dabble in the impossible 
I hope it moves out of 'experiemental' soon :)
ugh, it didnt work
(Ooof, I thought this was #making-mods-general mb)
What options did you select and what which button did you press?
trees and bushes, affect all locations, and tried all of the button 😂
i think this mod just take effect for object that can be reached?
can you just try 'Reset'?
cant click on that if theres no option selected
I mean, Bushes and Trees with Reset
have tried it, but still the same
could you send your save to me?
does this happen to anyone too? i mean if it does thats mean its just a bug
wait a min
no one had this so far, it's why I'd like to see your save!
@knotty abyss ask on #making-mods-general
thanks, i'll go there(also deleted my message not to confuse)
give me a few minutes, @compact summit. Also we can move this conversation to #making-mods-general as well
okay
while I tinker with your save, can you copy your original post (with the picture) to #making-mods-general ?
u mean repost it there?
So um i have a small issue, my invite code button isnt showing after restarting the game and the computer itself, im playing with mods, any fix?
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io/ (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
Could do with some help, my friend and I have been playing on a farm hosted by me for some time, but now I crash whenever he tries to join the server... I checked out the error log, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for. We are not using any mods.
This is the error log I got
This is a good question for #making-mods-general :)
oh uh, sorry then, should I repost there?
Yeah, please don't worry about it though, it's a very common mistake
I'm having the same problems as @cosmic yoke , is there any solution to it?
Have any idea what could have caused the crashing in your game @midnight trail ?
Nope, I was playing with my friend on Friday, we had no problems whatsoever, but now when he joins the game instantly crashes, I also use no mods so I don't understand what could cause it
Guess we'll have to wait for someone who knows how to speak crash report then lol
@compact summit I just want to say that the bushes doing that is vanilla behavior. Unintended vanilla, but vanilla. CA should probably put those bushes on a back layer or the like so they don't conflict with tall buildings
right now they're drawn on a layer that's above the building's Front layer
okay well old azreal sent me here so
I think my 1.4 save is corrupted. I never see any worm patches any more
Any mods?
no (some minor save editing to add some items) but that's it
because the fishing bundles are the worst for the community canter
If you're sure that artifact spots aren't showing up at all, can you check on an alternative save file?
so we can see if the problem is with the save or with the game
I know I see them on my friend's map on coop
This is where I actually don't know how to proceed with troubleshooting because I'm not sure ^^;
if it's entirely vanilla and you haven't modified the save that much, it could be a bug. 1.4 did change how artifacts work
well my other save I found some artifact spots
hey guys, girlfriend is having some crashing and I haven't been able to figure it out. Any tips appreciated: https://log.smapi.io/1rQaKpMg
Extra info: she was trying to sleep ingame
I'll have a look
i updated all the mods and tested it and she made it to the next day. hopefully it fixed it or it was a 1 off
appreciate you looking at it tho @hexed apex
and just insight, that mod you asked about was my personal mod i made for her. i didn't really release it on the store as it's not properly using things like JSON assets to add it items, it's like a major overhaul to weapons and tools. Modifying all sorts of game files. gonna port it over eventually :p
#making-mods-general please!
Anyone else getting significant frame drops after latest update? Fluctuates between 60fps and 5fps. No mods.
Any programs that might be interfering with the game? Antivirus, Afterburner, etc?
Nothing that wasn't running before. Looking through task manager for spikes.
Tried rebooting too.
Updating graphics drivers in case something weird is happening there.
Sounds good!
Well crud. That didn't fix anything. Turned off antivirus, no dice. Just completely unplayable on the laptop now.
Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Nothing_happens_when_you_launch_the_game for links).
That didn't do it, but I think I found the issue.
The game doesn't play well with my G-Series wireless gaming mouse.
That's odd
is anyone able to understand what this sea of red is trying to tell me? ive been screwing around for a few hours trying to get it to work on multiple devices and no luck so fa, then again im not the best at deciphering things like this
Whenever I move my mouse, the framerate dumps
#making-mods-general @cursive laurel
Hello, me and my friend have a weird bug in our co-op world after the new update, the game crashes for us when we change our seasons, anyone know how to fix this? (Stardew valley expanded is updated to the latest version)
Thanks for the help @tribal nacelle. I'll figure out where to report this as a bug to Concerned Ape
Also #making-mods-general @cobalt plume
@fading monolith you can report the issue on Reddit! There's a pinned thread
Hey guys
Is it possible to just randomly get one strawberry seed before the egg fest year 1?
Like someone said they spawned in with one and idk if they cheated they say it happened on a single player server too
Any reply is appreciated
Might be able to find one at the Traveling Cart
That's more gameplay questions though
Oh okay
Thank you
And they just spawned in and had it
Didn’t go to cart or anything
are you me? @tribal nacelle
Hi everyone, I'm having a weird issue. My Joja Mart is still open after completing the Community Center, had the cutscene and everything. The map even says that it's abandoned. Not sure if someone else has had this issue (or if it's my mods, which are all up to date).
Sounds like SVE, which is a known issue being looked into. Sound right?
Yeah, SVE. Cool, I had tried to look up if anyone else was having that issue but couldn't find anything. Thanks! I guess I'll sit tight with it.
I'm having an issue and also have SVE installed
whenever I go to sleep on the 28th of spring, the game crashes. Is this a known bug?
For SVE issues, it's best to talk in #making-mods-general
