Huh. Which game version? You are sure it's up to date?
looks like a problem with the coop XNB.
That's what the reset was for
im up to date
the map should though, right?
where do i check that lmao
what coop is that? (Basic, Big, Deluxe)
i had a basic coop but i upgraded in hopes it would work
it was gone even before upgrade?
yeah
Open the game and click the ? to check the version
hrm
yeah im on 1.4.4
Do you have another save you can check?
?
To see if it happens consistently or just on that save file
all of my other saves dont have coops
I can pass you mine
ok
That works! Try that for me, see if it's just your computer/game copy
If not, I can take a look at your save when I get back home
thanks for the help
it's on the new 4 corners map, and has a Deluxe Coop and a big Barn in the bottom right corner
how do i add the file to my saves?
!saves
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
use that guide, and put it where applicable, after you unzip it.
then when you open the game and press load it should be on the list with yours.
Hmm. We might have two issues then. Can you back up your saves (see that link again), and then reinstall the game and these files
!reinstalldeps
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).
how do i backup saves?
There should be instructions on that Saves page!
hey so i cant start stadew valley with smapi when i have msi afterburner running aymore. anyone know if theres a fix for that?
Nope, Afterburner is a known issue with SDV, as noted on the wiki
ok thanks
no dice
After reinstalling? On either save?
!officialbug @leaden canyon
@leaden canyon If you've checked that it's not a mod bug, you can report bugs to the Stardew Valley developers here:
- PC, PS4, Xbox, Switch: https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/ebocvd
- Mobile: https://community.playstarbound.com/forums/stardew-support
(do a quick search first so you don't report something they're already looking into).
Alternatively, you can emailsupport@stardewvalley.net
Go ahead and report it and see if they can do anything for you :/
Can I have the save file too? I'll take a look
Just upload it here! Zip the whole folder with the name and numbers on it
C:\Users\Mrcat\OneDrive\Desktop\George_234385860.rar
The file itself, not the path 🙂
here ya go
let me load it up and check into what's going on (fyi, i can open rar files, but other people may not, so zip is always safer!)
Anyone else experiencing light issues on Switch? My character sometimes gets stopped during walking and then resumes. Doesn't look like a controller issue either
Try clearing your cache first!
I was today years old when I learned about the Switch having a cache
I guess you learn everyday
XD Yeah, most people don't know about it
It's making me super nervous because it looks like the game isn't registering controllers input and wouldn't that be bad on a switch lite huh
But I tried both the dpad and the joystick and it seems to have both the same problem
@leaden canyon try this one!
Problem is still here... it happens at random, except when I wake up, then it happens right when I get out of bed
https://twitter.com/h4furi/status/1225177762614243328
I guess a video isn't much but I don't exactly stop my controller input, my character just stops
Co-op or SP?
SP
Sounds like it might be a controller issue then, yeah. :/ Not great news, I know
Great joy. And since it happens at random this is gonna be a joy to explain to Nintendo customer support
Thankfully they usually have pretty quick turn around if they have you send it out. Good luck, I hope they can fix it!
Thanks! Happy playing everyone
How do I make clothes ?
@tacit talon If you know how to fix my missing file problems, lemme know c':
Oooooh, no idea, actually. I've no experience in game support. Tbh, this is my first message here
Oh damn c':
#stardew-spoilers can answer that @toxic nexus! This channel is for bugs 🙂
Arinyl, what missing file problems?
#making-mods-general then please
Yup!
@tribal nacelle I have 1 cloth in a chest and 1 cloth in a bundle and I have not experienced the cutscene
Any mods?
Apparently I must sell the cloth
@leaden canyon @tribal nacelle I took a look at the internals of the save file, it's missing data for the Feed Hopper object entirely. Which makes the game think that the coop doesn't have one.
Yes, that's what I added in that file I sent back
ah ok i didn't see that lol
<---has been gone for the last few hours
I tested the new one, and the Coop has a Feed Hopper in it now, totally operational. 
Hopefully it works on their end, too.
my curiosity now is how that would happen in the first place.
possibly a file corruption at some point ¯_(ツ)_/¯
i'm hoping my problem gets fixed once the mobile update rolls out.
@tribal nacelle @balmy ridge thank you are in my debt
Welcome!
yw! have fun!
Welcome 🙂 Did you have an issue with the game?
no issue, i do have queston though, is this a steam cloud game?
i wanna install on a laptop and play whilst i travel
It is, yes
i can't be away for too long 😛
General gameplay questions belong in #stardew-spoilers too, this channel is for bugs/broken games. And enjoy the game, it's addicting!
oops. i'll see myself out
All good, it's a common mistake!
is there anyway i can remove like a couple hundred paths from my farm with out having to do it all by hand. like by a couple hundred is 600 or 700 path tiles
Bombs ( #stardew-spoilers might have some other ideas, this is more for bugs)
ah ok thanks!
@tribal nacelle thanks!
Welcome!
@hexed apex If someone isn't answering you in DMs, please don't ping them here. If you need help in support, ask your question or describe your issue and anyone can try to help you. Please don't just DM random people :)
@median crypt No problem sir admin! You can help me yourself! Could I speak to you in private? I think it would be something more relevant over there.
Hey all, I have an small issue with the game and wanted to see if anyone else did
Playing multiplayer on switch, does anyone elses game pause/lag/freeze for about 3-5 seconds every few minutes?
Time does not pass in game, but movement stops, music keeps playing normally,, and my other player in the game can continue as normal. Also if there is an action that activates the controller vibration that continues as well (for example, if it freezes right when I catch a fish)
@misty talon Hello Lonnie! I will help you with your problem!
Thanks!
I have looked all over several forums and cant quite find this exact problem outlined anywhere
That's a pretty frequent co-op issue on consoles, we have some basic troubleshooting steps for connection issues in the link below
!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
(not just invite code issues)
If the guide doesn't help, then there's a possibility it has to do with the game code and the changes made for consoles
Yeah, nothing on there seems to be what I'm getting. I have kind of chalked it up to "it just is what it is" but it is slightly annoying
nothing game breaking
@misty talon Lonnie, Several problems have already been reported involving the multiplayer of the switch. I'm sorry, I can't help you with this right now. however, I will pass on your bug so that a new version comes out soon!
Thank you! much appreciated
No, the guide doesn't list that specific issue, but clearing cache/restarting router/etc can all help connection issues in general
@misty talon You can try the basics, which is to check your connection, cache, clear useless memory (ram too). It never hurts to try, however, we appreciate your feedback!
Alright, I'll do those and have my other player do them and see if that helps
Thanks for your time
If those don't help, please add to the reports found below. Hopefully the porting teams can figure out the issue

Thank you! Sorry I don't have a fix for you, but hopefully some of the connection troubleshooting helps it a bit in the meantime
I'll keep tabs on it, I"m on there often enough that I wont miss a reply
Hey everyone, thank you for making the game so much fun with all your mods. but since a few days everytime when i try to change stardew valley to borderless oder window view my game is crashing. has anybody an idea where the problem is? Thank you for your support. https://smapi.io/log/2c4129fcfa814ea8a93df78ecdbf87c3
(PS: Ladder Locator is at the latest version from nexus even though it tells me to update it)
Hello, I really want to play with the expand stardew mod but I have a save that I don't want to delete, so I would like to know how I can do
you can continue with your save file but requires a little work
What should I do ?
create a backup of your save file first
then follow these steps under "prepare an existing save"
its pretty easy
https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded/wiki/Install-guide
But how do I backup my save? I do not know anything about it
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\Saves
Does anyone know why Windows SmartScreen is trying to block the GOG offline installer for SDV's latest version? It wasn't doing that for previous versions before.
@velvet sleet head over to #making-mods-general please!
@Juste Pearl#3177 same for you if you still need help
@pseudo crescent I haven't heard of that, are you able to disable it temporarily?
Yes, I could run it anyway. Even so, SmartScreen says it's potentially unsafe for some reason.
Huh, interesting. It's possible there's just not been enough use of that so far, but I would report that to GoG!
I got lagging in co-op with sve but not sure its the game or mods that causing this.
#making-mods-general please!
ok
@fresh furnace beep beep. Also, Microsoft does all the region locking so... yeah it's still with them. Like the mod said, best resolution is refund ,then have your friend transfer you cash via venmo or e-transfer or uh, wire transfer, I guess
Thanks for the shout out I found it now.
Though it still goes to stand, thank you for the help. I know you all can't do anything, just wish Concerned Ape could help me out.
concerned ape can’t do anything to help you bro
its to do with where you purchased the game from
CA can't do anything about how a platform locks their games, tbh. Even if he asked, they'd be like, "Haha, no." They could even de-list his game and ban him from their storefront if he was annoying enough
what is the issue?
Microsoft is giving me the run around, beating around the bush about who's fault it is about their wording on the xbox which clearly states I can get a new game code to replace the one I have that wont work due to it being region specific.
It's like asking the gardener why the mailman keeps on driving into your fence. It just doesn't compute.
So Epiphany's friend bought hte game for epiphany, but they're in different regions, so it's region locked and Epiphany can't play. Suggestion is to refund the game and transfer money directly so that Epiphany can self purchase
They are claiming it isn't their fault, and the people here are saying it isn't the creator's ballpark.
So, yes this is frustrating.
Most stores will tell you that to try and get you to stop asking
But yes, CA doesn't directly handle sales, as the Junimo have stated
): we're sorry that you're experiencing frustration but I think all the advice you've been given already is as best that anyone here can do.
isnt sdv like 14$?
Yes, and it was on sale recently. But they have a code that does not function, which is a fault of the seller (microsoft in this case)
Yes, because it is false advertisement. They say one thing on the xbox, then tell you, well on the website it says <insert statement here> but what the gamer clearly sees on a daily basis is what is directly in their face on the xbox.
(pony, it's understandable that they are frustrated, I don't think they need convincing that it's not a big deal. There's nothing we can do, though.)
I have had a run about with microsoft in the past 2 other times, because they are contradictory on their statements and claims.
Yeah, while CA is a member here, this is a community run Discord. We have no official leverage here
Like I said, they don't want to have to give you your money back, so they try to redirect you in any way possible. It's a common store sales tactic
Well the website has a contact for customer support area. I haven't even gotten an email back to acknowlege my question.
How long has it been since you sent an e-mail?
3 days
You have to keep trying and escalating until you find someone who can address it
(with Microsoft that is)
Alright, I am going to keep trying, it is just frustrating.
We understand :/ But sadly there's nothing we can do
we hear you, no one likes being given the run around.
We have tried other ways for him to gift me the money for a couple of games on the pc, but xbox is the only one we are having a really hard time with right now.
pony i think that's already been gone over.
You may try calling or try the live chat support, I had better luck with that when I had Windows issues
Good luck, Microsoft's support in all ways is....something to be desired.
Well refund is the last resort.
Unless you pay them lots of money, of course.
I don't want him to lose his money, but I do want them to fix the issue if I can get them too, or someone too.
Understandable. Like I said, try calling the help desk instead of waiting on an email, but you will have to wait in a queue probably
(it was over an hour for me, fair warning)
I shall try again. Thank you again. I am sorry I am so frustrated.
It's fine, just understand we aren't official support here
Good luck! I hope you get it sorted out
How do you change the size of the fishing bar on stardew valley mobile
Do not have your hopes high about them 'fixing' it because gifts are region locked for a reason.
It's to prevent people from gifting games that are not legally allowed to be sold in a country, and to prevent gifting of cheap games to more expensive regions.
Really confused
You have to level up Parkour (game questions belong in #stardew-spoilers too, this is for bugs/problems!)
I just want you not to keep unreal expectations. Refunds your best bet!
Strobe is replying to someone above you Parkour :)
Odin how do you change the size of the fishing bar on stardew valley mobile
It goes of the screen
Like not levelling up and stuff but actuall size
Do you have a screenshot? Sounds like your resolution might be too large
Try adjusting the menu and toolbar padding in the options
Well I am going to try contacting them again as well. I am hoping to be able to play this game, it looks really fun.
Yeah, try adjusting the padding options and see if that helps
Tool bar does nothing
What about menu?
Hmm. What device are you using and which game version?
I’m using mobile
Which device and which version? Android? 1.4? A Samsung, etc?
Ah. Hmm, not much I can do for that version. You can try clearing the cache files and see if that helps, but make sure to do a sleep save first, not just a quick save
Ok
That's a clipped screenshot I think, no sidebar or anything visible
right, that makes sense
Hello, sorry if you are asking a question in the wrong chat, but I am new to the server and my English is terrible (I am using Google Translate to help me) any information about the release of version 1.4 for mobile?
@⚫☠️ ȻɍȺƶɏNøøƀχ𝟙 ☠️⚫
It's in the process of rolling out very slowly, just be patient
Not sure how to tag you but 1.4 for --- ^
(also, please see #445729663885639680 for your nickname, it has to be pingable with an English keyboard)
Ok, I'm sorry, I Will change my Nickname now and thanks for the information
Welcome!
has anyone ever had a problem with the game switching sound devices?
How so? It does not handle switching devices mid game very well
yeah, if I have the game running then the sound will be fine coming out the speakers, but if I plug in headphones, it won't switch the sound to the headphones. Same for the opposite direction. If I have the headphones in before starting the game, then the sound will come out the headphones fine. but if I unplug the headphones then it won't switch the sound to the speakers.
Yep, that's a known issue. Has to do with the game engine (XNA)
ah ok. does it write what sound device it's using in any spot that is viewable? like an ini file or something?
Not that I know of? SMAPI might log it, you could try checking with that
Hello! I was wondering if there was a feature in stardew where you could send custom letters to friends?
Nope
Hello there !
I'm trying to join a friend in an online co-op farm, on Switch.
Unfortunately his farm doesn't appear in my list, even tho the cabins are available and someone else could join them
Do you both have Switch Online?
Yup
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
yeah I did all I could
No luck?
And can others join you?
The only other suggestions I have are to make sure he doesn't have it set to friends only and check into port forwarding
Sadly this is a known issue for a few people
Hmm, no invite codes?
There might be an issue with your router settings then
Is there a in game voice chat because I keep lagging when I start a party on PS4
The answer is same as what Odin said! There’s no in game voice chat
Well there needs to be cause I have good internet and still lag when I'm in a voice chat party
is there a way to grow blue berries during a different season? like is there a tarp or a heater that exist
Only in the greenhouse (unless you use mods)
See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Sap for info on that, along with tons of other information! #stardew-spoilers is better for general gameplay questions, though :)
thanks
hey im tryna host a server rn but my friend cant connect for some reason due to a "Version mismatch"?
pc
do you have mods installed that he doesnt?
make sure you either have no mods installed or the same mods installed if it still doenst work I think yall gotta run on the same launcher like steam epic etc. so make sure your both running on steam nd verify the local files
have him do it to and check your guys mods
also try resetting the game, computers and check for PC updates
@severe beacon check if both of you have the same version. Not 100% sure if steam-gog is allowed. So did you both buy it from the same store?
It is, all PC versions are cross platform
ah, then it's probably a version mismatch.
Hello! I need help on something, but i don't know if here is the right place to ask.
Okay, thank you.
i want to install the new smapi, but it dont find the right install place. how do i write it correctly ? its on Steam in my D folder
unzip the Smapi folder to your desktop; open the folder and find the right installer; click the installer and it will do everything else for you
nope
it say that it dont find the install direction and i need to write it on my own
Where is your game folder?
Oops, couldn't find the game automatically.
Type the file path to the game directory (the one containing 'Stardew Valley.exe'), then press enter.
there's this on the wiki:
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#.22SMAPI_can.27t_find_the_game.22
Did something go wrong with your game? This is the page for you. (This page isn't only for players who use mods!)
(If you need further help, head over to #making-mods-general too!)
Is this where I would have questions about a possible bug?
If you're not using any mods, this is the place!
On Xbox sooo guessing not lol
Has anyone else got a black screen after the evaluation year3?
Initially the game loaded my room partly than evaluation than my farmer on black screen
Just needed to reload farm(exit to title) sorry for the bother that was just freaky
can you use multiplayer with gog?
My friend and I are trying to play together on Steam but whenever I try to join him, I get a black screen, and when he tries to join me, it boots him out and says that the connection failed. I've already updated my SMAPI (since I didn't realize that there was an update until I checked #making-mods-general) :/
@fading heart You can! To use invite codes, you need to be signed into Galaxy, though.
@haughty grail If you're both using mods, have you tried without?
I think there were a few mod updates that I didn't know about so I removed the ones I didn't just download and reinstalled them and we're seeing if that helps!
Hello, on mobile SV. How do you access the virtual keyboard? I can toggle the keyboard icon at the top, but I can't press the virtual keys that appears.
it did not work so we're just gonna...not mod and play through steam and hopefully that works hnng
Oof, is a virtual keyboard required for all mods?
@forest sentinel I don't have it on Android so I mostly fumble at Android modding questions, but #making-mods-general has some Android modders around occasionally (and Martyr is often lurking)!
It's not required for all mods, but there are a lot that have keybindings you'd need it for.
@haughty grail We can collect SMAPI logs from you both in #making-mods-general if it ends up working in vanilla! There may be a clue in there. If it still doesn't, you could run through all the general MP troubleshooting steps: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Can.27t_connect_to_another_player_in_multiplayer (Try new save, too, in case it's something wrong with that one?)
Alright then. I'll try asking in modding.
@median crypt we ended up just giving up for the night 😭 we have no idea what’s going wrong
Did you try without mods?
Thank you everyone who helped, Microsoft ended up giving my friend a refund. I am sorry I was so frustrated the other day, but thank you for the support and helpful advice.
Hey sooooooo idk if its Stardew Expanded mod or maybe Elevator in Skull Cave but when I go to lvl 100 Mr. Qi isn't there :( Anyone know if/how I've fucked it? Lol
#making-mods-general with a log please!
hey just wondering why i keep finding random prismatic shards in my farm ?
Any mods?
none
what platform? PC, Xbox, etc?
PC
Is there a quarry on the farm? Sometimes you can get the stones that drop the shards. Or is one player in the Skull Cavern when the other is seeing the shards?
skull cavern
That's it then
is it just a bug ?
If you've checked that it's not a mod bug, you can report bugs to the Stardew Valley developers here:

I believe it has something to do with the host wifi that causes desync since some who have better wifi seem to be fine
It could also just be when bombing a lot
Yeah, most sync issues are due to connection issues. But CA has been working trying to reduce the item duplications when that happens (iirc), so it's worth reporting!
Thanks Minerva
No problem!
(I have a ko-fi and a Patreon linked on my Nexus page 🙂 but happy to help, really!)
@latent hedge pls go to #making-mods-general with any mod related issue.
OK, have fun 🙂
Question, I have all 8 Rarecrow in my inventory, 2 of them are gifted by my friend during multiplayer sesson
I don't get the Deluxe Scarecrow sadly
Any ideas?
I think you have to get them yourself?
However I'm having problems with my deluxe scarecrow as well
I received the recipe in the mail, but it is nowhere in my crafting menu 
You can buy it from steam
No problem
Hello!
Am I allowed to post a reddit link here?
I wrote a Reddit post
and I posted a video and picture on it
u could dm it to me
if it's general game help (bug, etc.) you can post it here. If it's modding related you can post on #making-mods-general
okay that looks like a SMAPI problem. Please post on #making-mods-general with a log.
!log
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
You can check the link on how to post a log
Problem: Game isn't producing any sound. Yes, I checked the Sound mixer, yes I restarted Steam. Is this some kind of known issue, because I can't find anything on it online
I also checked the in-game settings and verified the game files, there was nothing wrong with them.
You get sound from other apps, I assume?
Yep
Are you using mods?
other steam games as well
Nope, no mods
According to the sound mixer, it's not even producing any sound
not that I just can't hear it
Give me a bit, let me check if there's been a report about this before
Apparently, it might be a Discord app issue? Can you exit Discord completely and check?
What sound device are you using?
Headset
Someone posted this earlier.
yeah, if I have the game running then the sound will be fine coming out the speakers, but if I plug in headphones, it won't switch the sound to the headphones. Same for the opposite direction. If I have the headphones in before starting the game, then the sound will come out the headphones fine. but if I unplug the headphones then it won't switch the sound to the speakers.
Well that was never the case with me, I always have my headset plugged in
and it has been working find all the time
But I launched the game last night for a bit and noticed there already was no sound
between then and now, I had restarted my PC a couple of times due to updates
so that won't fix it either
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).
Sure
Oh shit
sound
I didn't have XNA apparently, so that did it
Hope this doesn't break again now, Thanks!
Awesome! Glad to hear that!
hi! quick question
is there a dedicated vc for multiplayer stuff?
or like any vc is gud
#stardrop-saloon is for the music bot, but any of the others would work
ohhh ok ok thank you!
is there cross plat in this game?
Hey can someone help me?
I had a modded version of Stardew Valley
But I wanted to play with a friend so I uninstalled Stardew to get rid of all the mods so I could play with him
And reinstalling
But now every time I try to open the game I see this message
And Idk how to fix it
Right-click Stardew Valley in Steam, go to Properties > Set Launch Options, and erase everything in the box.
omg thank you thank you thank you!
Welcome!
For future reference there's no need to uninstall Stardew Valley to remove mods, just need to clear that box.
ahh thank you so much 🙂
(You can also just rename your Mods folder temporarily; it's safe to use SMAPI itself in multiplayer, even if other players don't have it.)
Yeah, but I hadn't updated it in a while
So I felt like just deleting the mods would be easier than updating them all
If only I'd known xD
Okay it's working now, thank you so much!
Welcome!
Good Night Why is the game leaving Coperative mode
my friend
the game is disconnecting from the room alone all the time and it's not possible to play cooperative online mode with my friends
?
So I didn't notice until today (since I was playing the Switch version) that my Steam version just...freezes during the "ConcernedApe" screen right at the start since the last time I played (sometime in September, I think?)
I updated, installed, uninstalled SMAPI
I deleted the thingy in %appdata%
I uninstalled and reinstalled the game itself
I verified the game multiple time, it always comes out fine and I am at the end of my rope what might help at this point
Do you have smapi installed currently Mango?
It wouldn't hurt. If that doesn't help, can you use https://smapi.io/log to get a log and share it in #making-mods-general?
Sure
Does XNA need a restart? Just so I know
Honestly I'm not sure
I just do that in case of the case
brb
So I (re?) installed XNA, reinstalled my directX, disabled my antivirus and started the game as administrator...
And it works now
no clue which of the four it did
should I still do a smapi log or would that not be interesting anymore, now that it is resolved? xD
Well, I'm glad you solved the problem. You can always launch the game not as an administrator next time to see if that step was necessary. And if you fixed the issue you don't need to provide a log, that's just helpful if you can't figure it out :)
ok, then thanks Odin! :D
I think you mostly solved it yourself, but no problem :P
this is probably not the place for this question, but does anyone know what time of day the mobile updates usually roll out?
I don't think there really is a particular time
If it helps, both the mobile porting company and mobile publisher are based in the UK, so it's generally going to be sometime during working hours there
ah ok. kind of helps. thanks.
was just curious so that i could actually try to miss it by a day or two. 😛
i venture to guess the update servers would be congested, with everyone trying to do it at once hahaha
Ah, well your app should update just fine whenever you want, I'm sure Apple or Google's server are up to the task
And a good way to know when updates are out is to follow CA on twitter, or to keep an eye on #bulletin-board since his tweets get posted there
i already follow CA
and I don't like the bulletin board channel
it's very congested
Well, he'll tweet when 1.4 us out for everyone on mobile :)
really hoping it fixes my problems.
can anyone help me with obs
@hexed apex hello!
hi
im just having some issues with the audio output recording
right now no sound comes in whenever i play something
@hexed apex Doesn't sound come out of the Stardew valley game?
it does
but obs doesnt record it
sorry this is more of a question about how to use obs
im sorry if it caused any confusions
@hexed apex Have you tried to check if something is preventing the recording?
Another Application in the case
what kind of application would prevent it?
@hexed apex Do you mean SDV has no sound or you get no sound from anything at all?
I mean obs isnt recording any sound from anything
stardew valley is working fine
or should i ask about obs somewhere else
this seems to be support for sdv only
Yeah, you probably need help with OBS, not SDV specifically. I don't think anyone here knows much about it
No worries!
you have to use game capture @hexed apex
but what if i needed to record from other applications that is not a game?
do i just use game capture on other applications?
one sec. sry have not used obs in a long while
also, i cant find game capture in the sources tab
they aren't the same because they have to work on different languages.
yeah
you can try Window capture, but idk if that takes the audio from it.
then i dunno my dude.
I'm having a problem where I skipped the 2-heart event for Leah and now I don't know how to clear the 8-heart event. Can anyone assist?
Is my save file just fucked now?
what's the problem? If you skip the 2-heart, doesn't it just pick a default for the 8-heart?
So, I just got the game on steam, and I tried everything on the FAQ and troubleshooting note, but I still can't get the gam to load up. i click "play" and then it says running for 2 seconds and then it just stops
And there's not even a folder for it in %appdata% and when I manually create one nothing goes into it even after reinstalling the game
if you get the game file in a not legal way can you still upload it into your steam playlist?? and join other players???
ohh ahh if its not legal yours im sorry i dont think we can help ah i thought u owned the game..... when u said your game files arent recognized

well....f###
Yep, we can't help you get it working
@random sun anything like Afterburner installed?
@tribal nacelle Idrk what that is, but I never manually installed it.
Some graphics cards or gaming PCs come with programs to "enhance" game graphics pre-installed. One of those is Afterburner, another is Rivatuner
I don't think I have those, but I don't know how to thoroughly check. I searched for them in my overall files and couldn't find them
Okay, you probably don't have them. Any antivirus?
Not that I know of, no
Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch for links).
I already downloaded XNA and my computer says I already have .NET 4.5.2 or later
Try this:
- Install SMAPI: https://smapi.io/.
- Run the game through SMAPI.
- Upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log.
- Share the log link here.
(You can remove SMAPI later, we're just using it to see what the problem is.)
It won't let me find the error logs because the game, after being installed, never even makes a %appdata% folder
Did you try to install SMAPI? If it's not launching, sometimes installing smapi can force it to work enough for us to get a log
I tried installing, but the instructions say to move SMAPI into my stardew valley %appdata% folder next to the executable, but I can't do that
You just need to run the installer (it doesn't go into appdata, it goes into the game folder)
Install it following the instructions linked (also tells you how to set up Steam if you are using that), try to run the game using SMAPI (either through Steam or the exe), and then upload the log
I used the ModdingAPI exe but there's no crash log in any files
Is there a SMAPI-latest? Or did the game launch at all?
The game didn't launch
Hmm. Let me call for some help I think. You've done everything on the "nothing happens when I start the game" guide?
Everything that doesn't require a %appdata% folder
@copper hollow any chance you have a moment to take a look? Gregory here is unable to launch the game and I'm out of tricks :/ Even SMAPI won't let it launch
Hi! First, can you run the SMAPI installer again and post a screenshot of the installer window when it shows the green text at the end?
Can you go to D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley, and post a screenshot of the full folder window?
That looks fine so far. If you double-click StardewModdingAPI directly (the one with the
icon), what happens?
cmd opens with this:
Okay, so it's a problem with XNA Framework. Can you uninstall XNA Framework entirely, then redownload and reinstall it?
They did reinstall XNA earlier I believe
Did they uninstall first though?
That I'm not sure
I uninstalled and reinstalled it, and running the API came up with the same thing
Hm. Seems like you have a corrupt install of XNA Framework, which might be a bit trickier to fix.
(Trying to find info online that's not spam.)
hey, kinda new here, came here because i need help with the immersive farm remastered, anyone else had the problem with the opening scene crashing as soon as you get off the bus? can't fix it
#making-mods-general please, Rekidan
oh ok thx
@random sun I have a possible fix to try, but you'll need to mess with system files.
need some help pls. trying to fish, cast the line, and according to wiki when you see an exclamation point over your head you are supposed to left click to play the game. that doesn't work; it releases the line instead...
@random sun The steps would be:
- Uninstall XNA Framework, but don't reinstall it yet.
- Restart your computer.
- Open
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly. - In each subfolder, delete every folder that starts with
Microsoft.Xna. - Restart your computer.
- Launch the game by double-clicking
StardewModdingAPI again.
If everything is correct, it should still crash but you'll get a different error. Can you post a screenshot of the error?
@flint chasm See #stardew-spoilers for gameplay help! (Feel free to ask here if they can't help.)
k thanks
@copper hollow This is all that happened
Did you click on the
icon or something else?
The
icon
Hmm. Pathoschild will get back to you on that then
Can you post a full window showing that error (including the title bar)?
Can you post another screenshot of the full game folder window (including the address bar)?
Hmm, interesting.
That might be normal due to the changes we just did. Next can you reinstall XNA Framework from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914, restart your computer, and launch
again?

Do you have a dedicated graphics card or an integrated one? Could you tell us the specs?
I can't find much on dedicated vs integrated all I know is that it's an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
Hmm, that HRESULT code doesn't seem to match any of the documented codes: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-erref/705fb797-2175-4a90-b5a3-3918024b10b8. I found one blog post that says it happens when a 64-bit executable tries to run a 32-bit DLL, but that shouldn't be an issue since SMAPI and Stardew Valley are both 32-bit.
My computer just might not work with it. I only have an i3 and 8gb RAM so my pc isn't that great
That should be fine.
that's more than enough
I'm not sure what else you can try unfortunately, short of a Windows reset.
That's okay. Thank you guys for trying to help! You're all very nice and are willing to go to extreme lengths to help just 1 problem. 
Welcome, and let us know if you find a fix! It might help the next person.
Will do! ^v^
yes, well someone not being able to play when they should be fully able is a sin and a travesty, so we do all we can to help remedy the situation. 😄
@random sun what do you have plugged into your computer concerning Audio?
how would I rename my pet, horse, and children in 1.4?
I've tried ctrl+f-ing my pet's name in the save file and nothing shows up
Hi everyone, I’ve recently got a horse in the game. When I first interact with the horse in the day, the game prompts me to enter a name for it. It happens every single day. Is this a known bug?
That doesn't sound like a known bug to me. What platform are you on?
@severe beacon did you fix your version mismatch?
I got the same error today and it seemed to be because we had different mods
was the wheel trick with always betting on green patched?
We just decided to play unmodded for now but yeah I think its cus of the same reasons as u, will make sure to decide properly on the mods we want if we use smapi
Hi can anyone check on this. My game keeps on crashing on summer. Thanks! https://smapi.io/log/91226152e1144e15bf21bdfb0d1ed5fb
#making-mods-general please
Sorry
(You can cross post it there)
@steel crest unless it was changed in 1.4, yes it has a 75% chance to land on green
#stardew-spoilers are better equipped with game mechanic knowledge though
@steel crest that should have worked... Are you using the right save file? Not the SaveGameInfo file, the other one.
Hey anyone familiar with the mobile version of stardew? Im having issues with sound
Music actually, sound is normal and all
Also i can hear outside sounds instead of cave sounds when in the mine
If there is a fix for this please tell me, if not then i guess i just gotta get used to playing like this
I cant find anything on reddit or the rest of the internet either

@sinful sparrow I’m on Mac.
Question, Does Tapping on Trees Work in Winter?
Cause I tapped my tree on winter, and nothing produce in 2 Weeks
Does the use of Floor around the tree would make them stop producing syrups?
(@tulip flare You leveled up to Farmer. You're now a prettier shade of blue. Thanks for sticking around!)
@tulip flare that's better suited for #stardew-spoilers, this channel is more for help with stuff like game breaking crashes and corrupted save files!
Uhh.. I do think this is a bug though
but okay
Cause I did get 5 Pine Tar from the Pine Trees
But no Oak Resin or Maple Syrup in 2 Weeks, so its definintely something wrong
flooring shouldn't affect it, are you using any mods?
No, But I am using a save file editor
I did edit the Placement of the Trees to make room for a Shed
it's not recommended to use any programs for save file editing, they can corrupt your save
you can edit it without any special save file editors by opening the file up in notepad++
yeah I figured, but its tons of lines of codes to look at
And I'm not exactly sure how to edit the save file myself
it's most likely the save editing that messed up your trees
if you want to move them, the easiest way to do that is to download SMAPI, download the Tree Transplant mod, and move them where you want them
See if they gonna produce syrup, the funny thing is that the 5 Pine Trees still produce pine tar even though I edited that tree too
as long as you're on android or PC that is
I dont like using mods
you can use the mod only for that purpose, then go back to playing the normal game
Yeah, fair enough
as long as you save after editing the trees the way you want them, they'll stay--and it's a lot safer and less likely to corrupt your save file than trying to edit it
But I was thinking if that 5 pine trees isn't affected, why does the rest are
most likely something about how the save editor handled moving them
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1342 this mod can do exactly what you wanted, in a visual way within the game, and won't mess up your save
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/127
Well I'm using this one, idk
you only need SMAPI and the mod
And this one doesn't require SMAPI lol
that save editor is extremely outdated
Yeah, I figured
SMAPI is very easy to use and install and like i said, you can absolutely use only the one mod for the one purpose
and you can even uninstall SMAPI afterward
I mean, I did install smapi for skull cavern runs because I was getting fed up not getting to 100 in time
That was back before the Desert Totem Was added
I didn't like the fact that you need to launch another .exe than the standard one for the mod to take effect
if you want to always launch with SMAPI, you can simply set your steam launch options and it will do it every time
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Option_A:_use_SMAPI.27s_installer these are instructions for how to do that!
This page explains how to install SMAPI (the tool which lets you use mods) on Windows. See also:
I have a few Bugs:
System: iPad Pro 12,9" on iOS latest - iam playing with a PS4 Controller
- Fishing Menu is way over scaled and not useable
- if i bring gunther some artifacts the last one i drop will be removed when i leave the menu so i need the last one always twice 😦
I think this was reported by a few people in the past week
Seems like an official bug

Hi, I'm having an issue with accessing Marnie's store counter
The hand comes up but right clicking does nothing
Dear Mr. Ape, might it be possible to add mouse thumb/4th/5th button support? Thanks
Also, being able to set a zoom level for different areas would be great, I like min for general running around but max if I'm playing Prairie King for example
@turbid girder what platform, and are you using any mods?
PC/Steam, no mods
I managed to get it working by clicking on the very bottom of the counter, almost at the floor
well I was trying to get my friend into stardew but I think we might be out of luck cause of his old computer ... "no suitable graphics card" error and the things I've found searching google n reddit don't seem to work fffuuuu
agh and now I can't even try to solve the problem because I can't log back in D:< everything is horrible
Have a weird issue with the Steam version...
Game audio doesn't work at all (neither game nor title screen music) but I found a workaround, maybe some people will find this helpful:
Audio worked fine for the first few days of playing, suddenly doesn't work at all.
Not muted in Volume Mixer, not muted in game, not a driver issue, not an XNA issue, restarting didn't help, uninstalling the game didn't help, moving the save files didn't help (plus disabling Steam Cloud to make sure they don't reappear)
When I start the game and look at Volume Mixer, it shows a Stardew Valley icon under every device, and none of the Stardew Valley icons show any audio blips. Then they all vanish after a few minutes.
Tried downloading an older version, none of the 1.4 versions had working audio either...
Strangely, the audio in the first version of the game works, as does version 1.3.36 from March 2019.
What's the workaround? Just launch through SMAPI, apparently.
Really not sure why this works, might be that my Windows suddenly decided to mute anything that shows up in Volume Mixer as Stardew Valley; the old version works because it's listed as Stardew Valley.exe, and the SMAPI version works is listed as Stardew Valley 1.4.4 - running SMAPI with 2 mods
hey @pure coyote -- is this something that you can reproduce reliably (the no audio issue)
Sure the volume in the mixer for the program isn't down?
that's what i'm trying to figure out. this is something that gets reported often, but we don't really know the cause. they said they checked the audio mixer to see if the program was muted too, so i was hoping to learn a little bit more
Uh hello I’m new here and I was wondering if the SVE mod and some farm changing mods are working for other people. I updated both content patcher and smapi but it keeps saying I need the latest version which is what I have and I’ve gone though all the mods and nothing has worked I was just wondering if it was me or the game. Thank you!
Oh thank you!
@idle elbow well, I have no idea how it happened, but every time I run the game the sound is dead
you mind if i DM you?
go for it
hi my name is Adora286 i'm streamer i stream stardew valley a lots btw any one know who this perpterneitarthens80in ??
Hi! I don't know who that is, but you could try asking in #adventurers-guild instead; this channel is for getting help with game crashes/issues. 🙂
Hey I have a question, is there anyway for me to get Clint and Emily to get in a relationship, I have seen her 8 and 10 heart events, but I have been married for 2 years before I even saw those events, so is there any way for me to get this to happen thanks in advance.
Not in vanilla, sorry! It's possible with mods, but I don't think there's one for Clint + Emily off the top of my head. #stardew-spoilers is better for vanilla gameplay questions though, and #making-mods-general if you want to know if there's a mod for it :) This place is for stuff like bugs or crashes with your unmodded game.
thanks
Hey guys is anyone else having connection problems in co-op?
It's been working fine for the past week but today my friends can only connect after multiple attempts and they always disconnect after a few minutes in the game

The problem doesn't seem to be mod-related cause it remains even without any mods

It's the 28th of Winter on year 2, and according to the wiki, the Queen of Sauce should be teaching the recipe for Shrimp Cocktail, but instead it is teaching Stir Fry, which I already know. Does anyone else know why this is? Is the game bugged?
how do you get cloth
yes we're having issues in our MP game too, try deleting your startup_preferences every time you load in @timber oracle @hexed apex
@hexed apex see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Cloth
#stardew-spoilers know gameplay better
Zamiel, are you in 1.4 or older version ? The game was bugged in older versions but it's fixed on 1.4 (i don't know if mobiles all have 1.4 now)

Hi.
i have a bug that appers when i talk to an Npc and then Game crash.
i searched for fix it but Coundt find anything
@hidden cairn iOS is the only device waiting for the 1.4 update
@drifting umbra If you're using mods, you can upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link in #making-mods-general with a description of the problem and when it happens!
If you're not using any mods, which NPC? What OS/platform are you on?
@median crypt I am not Using Mods, it's vanilla
All Npc and i am on Pc ( Steam vercion )
Is there anything in the ErrorLogs folder? It's beside your Saves folder on Windows. (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Find_your_save_files) You can upload the crash log here if there is one.
You should also reset your content files to make sure they're all intact and that your game is up to date. (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files)
This is on the ErrorLogs Folder.
Have you tried resetting your content files?
Nope, How i do that ?
Oh just Verify Integrity
how do I delete my startup_preferences?
Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch for links).
Wait, let me have a look
I’m sorry
Delete your startup_preferences (found in %appdata%/StardewValley on Windows or ~/.config/StardewValley on Linux/Mac).
Ty
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files
@median crypt Nope it keeps Crashing :/ u.u
What's wrong Supert?
Hmm, I see. We may have to install SMAPI to see what's wrong in that case @drifting umbra
@hidden cairn i am on PC and on the latest version
ok, this is strange, do you use mods ?
Hmm, I see. We may have to install SMAPI to see what's wrong in that case @drifting umbra
@hexed apex I cant.
To execute de SMAPI i got to use the Comands ( CMD ) console of windows and my is broken xD
Also a friend of mine join in the server and the game Crash for him too if he talks to the Npc
We can't really help without knowing what is causing the problem.
Is there a good place to leave suggestions?
oh sorry, not modding suggestions :/ i was in wrong channel 😄
Isok lol
I just thought it would be nice to click on sprinklers to turn them on for a little bit.
Leaving the suggestion here. Who knows. Thanks
I don’t know if CA takes game suggestions?
Idk, I'm new to the game, and community.
Maybe you ask on Twitter heh
I hate twitter with the passion of a thousand dying stars...
Anyways, back to wirk. Cheers
@drifting umbra You mentioned a friend joining the server - are both of you set to the same language? Does it still happen in single-player?
@candid thunder -- we're working on a patch to hopefully solve those issues that should be out super soon, but in the meantime i think running the game through SMAPI might fix the issue if that's something you're comfortable doing
@candid thunder it's what people use to load mods into their game, but you can use it without installing any mods. if u dont want to wait for the patch you can download it from https://smapi.io/ and find instructions for installing here https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Getting_started. and of course ask in #making-mods-general if you need help ^_^
(thanks for the assist, @opal coyote -- i didn't know the lewis command to print out smapi instructions, haha)
if you're okay with waiting too, we should have an official fix for this in a few hours or so, so you could just wait too
Interesting, so what does that change compared to running it normally, if you don't load mods on it
Well I only have a few hours left to play, so I hope I can use this to fix the issue temporarily
smapi comes with 2 mods, one that backs up your saves automatically and another to let you use commands like change the seasons and such, but it wont do anything to change your experience playing if u dont add any mods
and apprently it fixes this audio thing
Oh I see
well that's handy
I'm just slightly confused with this launch option to enable achievements
oh, do you use steam?
ill talk u in #making-mods-general 
cool, let me know if it doesn't resolve the sound thing, @opal coyote !
@candid thunder -- just a heads up, we just pushed the patch that fixes the sound issue you were dealing with, if you wanted to revert your game to vanilla
Hello, I have a little problem with Susan's house..it won't appear 😅 This message show's on SMAPI "[SMAPI] Multiple mods want to provide the 'Maps\Railroad' asset (Summit Reborn [Combined], PyTK), but an asset can't be loaded multiple times. SMAPI will use the default asset instead; uninstall one of the mods to fix this. (Message for modders: you should usually use StardewModdingAPI.IAssetEditor instead to avoid conflicts.)"
you need to go to #making-mods-general and provide your log, pls
yeah ^^
you already was on modding 😄
yup lol
Hey, guys, not sure if anyone else is seeing similar issues, but today my wife is unable to join our co-op world. When she tries, it just thinks for a few minutes and then says "Connection failed." We do use mods, but there was also the 1.4.5 today, so we're not sure what might be the source of the problem. We were last able to play together two days ago.
hey ya'll, I'm having a very specific problem with my game and I have no idea how to solve it or what's causing it, I don't even know if it's a mod that's causing it, but I figured I would post here anyways in case anyone else has encountered this glitch. Whenever I enter the wizards tower, my farmer completely disappears and doesnt appear to be anywhere on the map when I check the map locations, like they've completely despawned. When this happens I cant move or exit the building or do anything, the only solution is to restart the game or wait until 2am, this means I cant interact with the wizard at all which is depressing
I also have to idea how to fix the clash with PyTK and Content Patcher where they both want to provide map locations
@edgy tartan You have both Karmylla's Maps and SVE installed, but they aren't compatible. You need to pick one or the other. It's probably the cause of the wizard tower problem, since they both have their own versions of that map, which makes neither load and the coordinates be off. (You can also always debuge warp out via the SMAPI console, but #making-mods-general can help further!)
Alright I will delete Karmylla's maps and see if it works, thank you!
@ripe atlas Does it work without mods? You can always run without SMAPI by temporarily clearing your Steam launch options if you're on Windows, or running the Stardew Valley.exe chicken instead of the StardewModdingAPI.exe pufferchick.
There are some steps you can try running through here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Can.27t_connect_to_another_player_in_multiplayer, and if it works without mods but not with them, you can upload both your SMAPI logs to https://smapi.io/log and share the links in #making-mods-general to see if there's anything that jumps out!
Thank you @median crypt, it solved the issue with the wizards tower
! I'm not quite sure why I didn't think to delete it before, but I'm kind of inept when it comes to this stuff so it's easier for me to just ask about it most of the time
No worries, Karm's used to be required for SVE but the latter has its own town and interior maps now, so it was a common problem for awhile there. #making-mods-general is the place to go for future mod troubles, though!
my game crashed cuz it says i need the xcode for one of the mod things
is it required to download or is it just a 1 time thing
dunno what xcode is
@drifting umbra You mentioned a friend joining the server - are both of you set to the same language? Does it still happen in single-player?
@median crypt when i play alone still happens too
hello. i got SDV 1.4 on my android phone today, and was able to play just fine with mods. got home, and steam auto updated to 1.4.5 on pc. made some progress, and went to copy the save back to android, but now my android is giving me "version mismatched". do i have to wait until there's a 1.4.5 update for android?
dang. im looking at the wiki, and i see updates are done every 3 months for android... so i'm out of luck for a little while then?
You'd have to ask Chucklefish, they are in charge of the port for that version
dang. im looking at the wiki, and i see updates are done every 3 months for android... so i'm out of luck for a little while then?
Updates are released when they're ready. While it may have taken 3 months for 1.4 to make it to mobile, the work to bring Android from 1.3.36 to 1.4.4 is far greater than it will be to go from 1.4.4 to 1.4.5
While I wouldn't be willing to hazard a guess, but it's not going to take another 3 months :P
@sinful sparrow thanks for being optimistic and putting it into perspective 🙂
I haven't reviewed the specific changes in 1.4.5 yet, but the save format is probably backwards-compatible. So you could try editing the save file to just the change the version field from 1.4.5 to 1.4.4, and see if it works.
(See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Edit_a_save, but you can just open the file like YourName_0123456789 in a text editor like Notepad and search for 1.4.5.)
hey hey need some help diagnosing a marriage night crash. either smapi doesn't like something or my character is getting cold feet lol
relevant info, i'm not the host, and the marriage is to the SVE character sophia
#making-mods-general please!
oops my mistake!
Hi! Got a question
Is there a way to make a server for SDV?
So like anyone can access the farm even with the host offline?
there is an always on server mod but i'm not 100% that it's working
And even that does require the host to be online, the mod just means the host doesn't need to actively play. So the answer to the question is really no.
Okie thankss

Okay 👍🏼 Thanks! 
@tame lintel Thank you for reporting your problem! Have a great day and if you have any more problems, contact us!

Thanks, you too 🙂 Will do.
I made a test character in order to figure out how to back up my save files.
I went to %APPDATA%\StardewValley\Saves and made a copy of the test file. I deleted the test file, and put the copy somewhere else.
When I open up the game, it seems my test file is still there?? I thought it was strange, so I deleted the test file through the stardew valley game window. I closed out the game.
Afterwards, I put the copy of the test file back into %APPDATA%\StardewValley\Saves. However, it seems like my game file is gone.
It seems like my "experiment" didn't work? So how do you guys go about saving a backup file? and then when you want to open up your back up file again, how do you do that?
Steam automatically syncs your save files. If you deleted it while the game was closed and then relaunched it, Steam will put it back; and similarly if you add it while the game is closed, Steam may delete it.
The best way to avoid issues is to launch the game, then (while it's running) make any changes to the save files. Then Steam will sync those changes.
(Or you can turn off Steam save sync if you want.)
Well I shut off stardew valley right now, and here is what my folder looks like right now
you see my Test file, right?
but when I open up my game, the test file is not on the load list https://i.gyazo.com/e43e9489070a2ece34eec3104862d621.png
So I'm kind of confused why the file isn't showing.
Can be profit margin changed after the save was made? If so, where in the files, please? Thanks ^^
What do you mean?
There is an optional 'profit margin' when creating multiplayer game, which reduces the overall profit from forageables, crops, artisan goods and so on...
Sayu, load a save then change the zoom in the settings to its lowest setting, or at least 75%- 80%
@hoary otter that's more a question for #stardew-spoilers (but go to Lewis's house, there's a book where you can change it I think?)
Well i thought i'd have to go through save files, but i'll definitely check that out ^^ thanks and sorry :X
No problem :)
Yeah, the books actually just change the money styling on multiplayer (split or shared)... If someone knew some help, please tag me ^^
We handle more actual game issues (bugs, broken saves, etc), so as I mentioned #stardew-spoilers might know more. Good luck finding it!
@median crypt We tried running without mods, on another save file (the original wouldn't open due to SVE I expect) and she still gets the connection failed error. I then followed each of the steps in the wiki, but we are still getting the error.
Has anyone else been having co-op connection failures since the update?
They are common in general. Any specific error with it, or just failure?
I host the world, and when my partner joins she finds the world, but then it just says "Connecting" for a minute, then "Connection failure". It just started after the 1.4.5 patch. At first we thought it might be mod-related, but even after going back to vanilla we're having the same problem
Hmm. And you've followed the guide I see. Anti-virus and everything off for testing?
Yep, doesn't change anything
Very strange. Have you both done a content reset to force an update and ensure that's not the issue?
The verify integrity of the game? yeah we've both done that
Couple options then - try port forwarding as a temporary solution and report to devs via Reddit. You two had mods before? What happens if you just run the game with SMAPI, no installed mods?
trying to run with SMAPI, but no mods, we'll see how that goes
The logs might be helpful if nothing else 🤞🏻
Yeah I'll check that out, see if it actually records anything. Do you think the host or guest log would have the important stuff?
Both are important!
Well mine looks really unhelpful, just a few warnings about invalid SVE locations
There's more info hidden in the trace that we compare the host and farmhand for
Her log has a line for "starting client. Protocol version 1.4.5" and then 45 seconds later a line for "Disconnecting from server ###", then there are 5119 lines of Disconnected: ClientTimeout
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
Both please
(my dinner is almost done, i may have to run and check them afterwards)
Okay, double checking some stuff. Have you tried the C++ redist package reinstall, or just XNA/.Net?
Ok so I bought stardew valley today and it will not launch there is no error log
Hi, can you check this guide please? https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch
(applies to vanilla too)
erm I haven't installed these on my other computer I usually play stardew valley on
but it works fine
Haven't installed what?
xna and .net framework
Try reinstalling them, sometimes the one that comes bundled with the game corrupts
ok that was the issue I am dumb
Nah, that's why we have the guide! A lot of this stuff the average user wouldn't know. Glad it works!
Heyo! I have encountered an issue. Is anyone able to lend me a set of eyes and help me figure out whats going on? I have the log data and the link to it from smapi io/log site.
Modded game or vanilla?
Modded
Over to #making-mods-general then please 🙂
Gotcha.
We had the C++ redist reinstall, turns out my wife didn't have XNA, but after installing that and restarting both our PCs, still no dice.
Hmm. Last step before I point you to something else, does it work if you try to make a new save?
Then there's probably something up in the save
You've been playing with mods, yes? Can you try using one of your backups?
It's just strange that even our old saves that we haven't used in months are having the same issue as our current save
Hmm. That is odd. Another thing you can try is to play a day without her and see if it works after that (so the save file updates with the most current data)
I'll try a backup, and if that doesn't work I'll just play a day and see if that does anything
👍🏻
Going back a day didn't seem to fix it. Gonna try just going to sleep and advancing to the next day from our most current
sleeping a day did not fix it either, if anything the Connection failed message appeared more quickly this time.
😬 geez. any chance in the logs?
Hmm, interesting. She did manage to connect according to the log, and then immediately disconnected again
nice farm name btw
But she definitely connected briefly
very briefly
yeah, looks like it. there are a few connections in her log, as i was restarting my client to test the different things and i just left her client on
Are you two using GoG or Steam? And invite codes or LAN?
Steam, LAN
Same internet connection?
yep, same network
Have you tried invite codes, out of curiosity?
might as well
I see some discrepancies in your mod lists as well, though I know unlimited players is host only. Make sure the other mods match if needed
Did you happen to transfer any saves from PC?
No. It updated and now my save is gone
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
So, invite code didn't work, but I started trying the other methods, and joining through LAN (entering my IP) seems to have done it. No idea why that's working over the other methods, but hey, I'll take it
I just realized
It might be because I removed my sd card and it might have had that daga
And I formatted it
Fiddling with the IP addresses or ports was the last resort. Glad it's working Domid!
Ouch, yeah, in that case they are probably gone Hans
Yeah, we are too! Thanks for your help!
Welcome!
HI I NEED HELP
I PUT THE DINOSAUR EGG IN THE MAYO MAKER
BUT I CAME OUT AS REGULAR MAYO
Hi, no need to shout. What platform are you on?
pc
Can you check your game version for me please? Load up the game and click the ? in the corner
Hmm. Any mods?
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 :)
(vanilla files corrupt sometimes)
could the dino egg have been put in the mayo machine before updating to 1.4?
would that result in a normal mayo?
yes @north pike
Ah, yep. The produce is set when you deposit the item
wdym
When you put the egg in is when the game changes it to the final product, not when it's ready
so if you put the egg in, then update your SDV to 1.4, you'll get a normal mayo
So if you dropped it in before you updated, it would still be a normal mayo
wow
because it was put in during 1.3
so i have to wait again huh
(it's been months since the 1.4 update though, which is why it's odd)
You can do the reset to make sure, but if it still happens with a new egg
!officialbug
If you've checked that it's not a mod bug, you can report bugs to the Stardew Valley developers here:
- PC, PS4, Xbox, Switch: https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/ebocvd
- Mobile: https://community.playstarbound.com/forums/stardew-support
(do a quick search first so you don't report something they're already looking into).
Alternatively, you can emailsupport@stardewvalley.net
Okay then. Try it again with a new dino egg
okay....
Character got stuck in a 14-hearts event with elliot on mobile, it's a start of the day and a cutscene without a skip button, so I cannot just reverse to a previous safe and move the bed. Would appreciate a helping hand.
How to rearrange furniture in mobile?, i am long pressing items but I can't move them.
Thanks in advance.
@quiet whale Long press and move finger works for me. But it's too buggy and so hard to place it where I want. The same goes for moving buildings. I haven't test on 1.4 yet.
Ok I'll try
Game was all well and good until I received the notification that the stork granted me a baby. Went to talk to my spouse, no dialogue came up. Kissed said spouse, walked a few tiles away, and the game crashed. Tried restarting the game and loading the save back up, but it got locked up and kept trying to load. I found the error log, if anyone knows what to make of it.
