Hi y’all, new SDV player and new to discord. On my first play through right now (iOS) except all of the items I donated to the museum seem to have disappeared. Is this a known bug? Searching around and I’m not finding any similar reports
are you using mods ?
@hidden cairn Well, yes. I think it's due to having too many mods, but at this point, I don't even know anymore
If you launch the game without any mods and it still freezes, it's a problem for this channel.
Otherwise, best to ask in #archived-modded-support
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
ah yes, i always forget the "test without mod" step
@leaden schooner the only time I've heard of this was on Android with a certain mod. I suggest reporting it
!officialbug
If you've checked that it's not a mod bug, you can report bugs to the Stardew Valley developers here: https://forums.stardewvalley.net/index.php?forums/help-bug-reports.12/ (do a quick search first so you don't report something they're already looking into). Alternatively, you can email support@stardewvalley.net
ah yes, i always forget the "test without mod" step
@hidden cairn xDD same
ill have to do test without mods
#archived-modded-support for mod issues plz
ohh sorry about that ❤️ misread
no worries common mistake
so im assuming that there are other people who know about this, but i am currently stuck while endlessly walking and i cant move
ive been stuck running into this bush for the past 10 min
please help
i did a lot of stuff today and i havent saved
i guess i could just fishing rod spam until i pass out :/
this isnt the first time this has happened btw
sooo i have a save of sdv mobile on my chromebook, and i feel that if i reset my chromebook or installed sdv on another device it wouldnt transfer my save
and i was wondering if there was a way to backup my mobile save so if i played on another device id have my save im currently using
wouldnt i be able to put a save onto a sd card on my chromebook then take the sd card, put it into my phone, then add the save from there?
@winged sierra that sounds like a keyboard/controller issue, if anything. :/
@tawdry sparrow I honestly have no idea. Chromebooks are weird compared to other OS or even other mobile OS. You would need to find out where the savedata is located on the Chromebook.
On other systems, a save file usually looks like a folder with a name something like PlayerName_625362738. But I don't know where on the Chromebook you would go looking for that.
I don't know if saves can be transferred from Chromebook to other platforms. If it works like Android then it should be able to.
id have to do some deep searching on the internal drive then wouldnt i?
Most likely yeah.
bc i have a year 5 save so when my computer stops working, which it almost has, id really prefer not to lose the save
@winged sierra do you have any mods? That can sometimes happen with certain ones
@tawdry sparrow the easiest way to back up a save is to drop it on Google drive or something and then transfer it to the new device. Use this guide to locate the folders
!saves
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
i just did some research on something like that, i think thats wot imma try to do
im close
ive found them, but now wot?
You need to copy the whole folder that contains those 5 files
alr
Transfer to a new device, maybe by uploading to Google drive like Minerva suggested
so ill paste it into google drive, then from my phone i should be able to transfer it?
And then on the new device put that folder into the same place (or equivalent place if it's a different system)
Yep
alr
thx
oh wait
i was on a different thing
i now figured it out
its in google drive
almost there
On Android, the save folder is in the game folder I think
wait im struggling to access google drive in my phones files
Probably have to access Google drive through an app or your phone's browser
ive got the file in my phones drive but how am i getting that into my google play files?
If you have the SV game on your phone, then there should be a StardewValley folder somewhere, mine is in the phone's root directory
wait how do i get to the root directory lol
Idk, does your phone have a file manager app you can use to explore like the downloads folder and other places?
ye
Then use that and keep navigating up the folder tree until you can't anymore
alright so ive figured that out but my phone isnt letting me move google drive files from google drive to normal files
because if it would let me transfer files from google drive to normal files then boom. ive done it
Hmm. When you look at the files in Google drive, is there an option to download them or save to device?
i think thats what i overlooked
and
not that i can see
if i cant figure it out i have a very tech savy person tht might be able to help me
Can you screenshot what you are seeing in Google drive?
what part of it?
Where your save files are, what do you see when you long press/check the menu?
You've lost me but this is what I see in Google drive
WAIT
i might have done it
Okay, the folder with the save files? If you hold down on it, you should get some type of menu
Ah
Something like this
\o/
So now. You need to use your file explorer and move it to the game folder
Mine looks kind of like this; you want to move or copy
And it should end up here
This is what I'm seeing when I have the file selected
Hmm. And that's your file explorer?
one sec
You may need to grab a different one to move stuff
I'm using a different file manager and I have the save file copied, and now I'm figuring out where to put it in the stardew Valley files, would it be under assets?
Uh, no, not in the apk. See the path of the folder mine is in?
youve lost me now lool
Go up in the folder tree as far as you can again
You're looking for something just named storage. It should be up from your download folder
Try here or here for places to look
neither of them did anything
Didn't work as in....hmm
Sec
Okay, try grabbing Files by Google
had to download it lol
;lol
thats the problem
if there was a copy option then id have done it by now
i think ive done it
Wouldn't I just drop it in here with the other file?
YES
YES
\o/
It's such a pain, why do so many of these not have copy functions
Did you make sure to grab the entire folder?
Not just the file, the whole folder with the save game info file too
Let me see what you copied there and inside it
XD
At least they are the same on PC and Android
Just the locations are different
This is what's in the file I copied from sdv
Okay, that looks right. That's a folder it's in? Or a zip
idk
If you tap the little down arrow at the top, what does it show?
that arrow just asks how i want to sort them'
Ah. Okay, let me see it in the game folder?
All of the folders, I want to see the names. So the StardewValley folder
(I have to step away for a few minutes, brb)
Okay we're trying to get the David_247... folder (the one that has the 5 files inside) to be there next to the Named_249... Folder
that's where that save folder needs to go
thats where it is
I don't see it though?
Aha
Yeah you just have one file there. You need the whole folder is all
wdym
You need the folder called David_247093934, one that can hold other files. It should look exactly like the Named_249966146 one, and you should be able to tap to go inside it and have all 5 files inside
it is, that file has all the other one in there
It does? That's strange. Is it compressed, like a zip file or something? You might need to extract it.
that could explain why it looks so much more different then the other files
Here try this. Are you able to make a new folder in that location? Just "New Folder" is fine for now
yep
And then go inside the David folder, and see if you can move the five files in it to be inside the New Folder instead
outstanding idea
err its not letting me open that file, but its letting me open it with other apps
Hmm, which other apps? Try opening with one it suggests
Probably zipped yeah
it told me the package is corrupt
i dont think thats good
bc i tried to extract it
and its like
"unable to extract, package is corrupt"

Hmm. Might need to try reuploading it. But it should be an archive, not a package. Can you grab AndroZip for me and try with that?
Let me open mine real quick
If compressed folders are being a nuisance, here's an idea that is tedious but would probably work - download each of the 5 inside files from Google drive individually, then put them into New Folder 🤷
So just tap on the save folder
And it will bring up that first menu
Then tap extract to
And tap the Up button until you get to the storage again
And go into the SDV folder and tap extract here
honestly i dont know how you got to theextract screen
Just tap on the David folder
ohhhhhh
You might be able to skip the navigation part
Since it's already in the right folder
i tapped it and its telling me to choose a action
Yep, pick extract to
Show me what you see then
that doesn't look like AndroZip
Yeah, that still doesn't look right
Ooooh
I was right i think
That's one of the inside files, not the whole folder
wha
youve lost me
Okay, this is Windows, but same basic principle. Here's my AppData folder, which is where the saves live on PC
ok
And then inside one of those folders looks like this. We don't want these files, we want the entire folder
And honestly the easiest thing is to go back up to that StardewValley folder, and right click it like this (may look a bit different on Chromebook)
(sorry, screenshotting and typing XD)
Then put that entire Saves folder on Google Drive, download it to your phone, and then open up AndroZip again
aaaaaa
That make sense so far?
sure
Okay. Let me know when you get that far, and then show me a screenshot please
(gonna snack real quick XD)
oh and the thing is said chromebook is dead
and the charger has problems
is the reason why im trying to transfer saves
ouch
yea...
If you need to resume later after it charges, we can do that. I'll be up for another hour or so and then up around 10 hours from now
alr
Just ping me when you've gotten the whole folder onto your phone 🙂
will do
If you wanna try while the Chromebook is dead, you could give the download-five-files-individually a shot!
Or if take a break, that's good too 
i looked whats truly inside it from a seperate computer and this is wots inside
and i think that what imma do
ah yes, David_numberbullshit_SVEMERG
imma rename them to something ill remember than download em
worth a shot
tbh i dont know wot David_numberbullshit_SVEMERG is
ffs I think I misclicked
lmao
bye
Make sure you can rename em back after
y
(and you probably don't need that last file)
Because the game won't read them if you rename them
the David_numberbullshit_SVEMERG one?
i dont even know wot its for lool
Maybe just add a letter in front
a_David_273894...
b_David_2636478...
c_SaveGameInfo
etc
oki doki
You should have the Name_numbers, Name_numbers_old, SaveGameInfo and SaveGameInfo_old and that's it
alright, so get rid of David_numberbullshit_SVEMERG and keep the others with memorable names
(unless you have Json Assets then sometimes that's different, but that's modded)
Yeah the SVEMERG file is uniquely generated on mobile. I think it's from the saves that happen when you quit the game partway through a day?
Yes. They should match that pattern, and be in the folder named with the same name as Name_numbers
alr
so now i just redownload these on my phone and once again go through file transfer bullshit then put them in "new folder" in sdv files?
David_24793934 needs to be the folder name
for the new folder?
yep
Yep
But you can change the folder name after putting them in
Be kind to yourself ☺️ slogging through tech BS is painful! You've made it this far!
^
ive named the file now for downloading and transfer bs
finally
i think
ive done it
i swear to god
does it matter if the files inside David_numberbullshit are named?
Let's see?
Yes it matters
Alright awesome. Edit each name to take out the a b c d
alr
And then can we see how it looks in the folder above that one?
(whoops I typod the name)
ive renamed them to normal
Sorry 
lol
(tbf, i'm typing one handed while eating)
Delete that old folder from the first try, then rename
(the one on the bottom there)
Yeah the weird one that didn't work
I think I've done it

Alright!!!!!
test time!
im opening the app and praying to god
HELLA FINGERS CROSSED
THANK FUCKING GOD

Wooohooo!!! Way to go you!
So many people might have given up and just started a new save when their old computer died, but not you!
You persisted! And learned a bunch of new stuff!! And you did it!
and im going to forget it all in a week 😎
And inspired me to go make a guide to this tomorrow XD
XD
Uber, please remind me in 14 hours to make a PC to Android guide for saves
uhhhhhhhhhh oh yeah k i'll probably remember (#1515539)
ive never used my brain so much in my life
Next up we'll be having you add mods or something
hehe
id be down for trying that tmr
They're roughly the same, actually. Download the zip, open in AndroZip, and extract. But that's #archived-modded-support 😛
so tommorow ill go #archived-modded-support , redownload smapi, and try to get sve or texture mods
I don't rec SVE for many reasons, but your phone likely won't be able to handle it
tru
Texture mods should be fine though, and some QOL stuff
QOL?
QOL stuff is stuff that makes the game more user friendly. Things like Automatic gates, the tractor mod, things to more easily see where you are placing items, things like that
Have fun 😄
https://smapi.io/log/1971d0fe0b3b42dda9e1405d61c92075 someone can help me with this? i can't access letters tab in collection page...
oh, sorry.
@tribal nacelle: make a PC to Android guide for saves (14h ago)
@tribal nacelle thanks. No mods, I’m playing on iOS. Reloading the backup save seems to clear it but it’s happened twice now. Heading to the dev forums
Yeah, definitely sounds like a bug. Hopefully they can fix it!
#archived-modded-support is where to ask for help with mods, including SMAPI
It's ok 
I am a fool, a rube, a true derp. The scythe I lost days ago was in a chest I forgot existed.
can i lock my house in multiplayer coop ?
no
chests ?
no
if you dont trust the people you are playing with then dont play with them
So a couple of weeks ago I booted up Stardew Valley (Smapi and content patcher) and saw that my save file was gone, is there a reason for this, what did I do wrong and can I get my save back?
have you tried without mods?
And if it has something to do with mods head over to #archived-modded-support
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
Hello. Can someone help me? I cant get the a winter mystery quest to trigger. Im already halfway through winter 1st year. I tried everything that i got on the internet still no magnifying glass
Winter 18 specifically. On android if that helps
Did you see the cutscene yet where the shadowy figure runs away from you at the bus stop?
Do you have "A Winter Mystery" quest started in your journal yet, or are you trying to get it?
Im trying to get the cutscene from walking/riding from my farm to the bus stop everyday within 6am-4pm nothing...
From what i read from the wiki is that i should get the cutscene first which is not triggering to get the quest on my journal
I tried the walking to bus stop on sunny and snowy day riding too. Tried every hour. Tried the going the upper part and lower part of the warp point of farm to bus stop. Still nothing. While my brother got it on 1st of winter 
do you use any mods, just in case ?
Well a lot. But i solved it now. I just booted up vanilla sv and it triggered when i got the magnifying glass i just used the save backup of mobile then went back to smapi and its still there
But the majority of my mods is the whole ppja option of minervas harder community bundle and thats it with a few qol mods like automate and pfm
Anything that changes maps or events? #archived-modded-support can help you narrow it down so you can report it to the author
ok ! i asked because mod issue go in #archived-modded-support and your issue was likely due to mod
Ohh ok. Thanks.
How do i report anyway. I think its my farm map. Thats the only major thing i added. I dont have sve or any immersive mods on my phone
I use kzintiwife's farm map
You can ask for help on that in #archived-modded-support
yeah we'll give you details
Ok. Ill head there right away
hello! i am using https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6005 and have started to get these weird pixels by my cellar. i've opened the mod in tiled and the pixels are not there. does anyone know which map is loaded for the cellar entrance? https://imgur.com/a/E4QLrib
@elfin blaze You'll want to ask in #archived-modded-support

K thanks
i think that's troubleshooting., but it might help
True. Here's another article that may be better https://twinfinite.net/2018/12/stardew-valley-how-to-play-multiplayer-on-pc/
I'm on switch, is it any different?
Bwuahaha, that same website has an article specific to switch https://twinfinite.net/2018/12/stardew-valley-multiplayer-switch-how-play/
Ok this is kinda strange, the join tab is empty so I can't use an invite code or anything.. I can host but can't join. Is it supposed to be like this
!screenshot
Can you take a screenshot of the issue and post it here? (See https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/ for help. You can paste or drop the screenshot directly into Discord to send it.)
Or even a picture, since you're on switch
I got this from the article:
"First, if you want to play Stardew Valley’s multiplayer on Nintendo Switch, you’re going to need a Nintendo Online Subscription. If you don’t have one, you cannot even access the Join menu within Online Connection shown in the image above."
Do you have that subscription?
I do have a subscription so
Sorry that I took a bit, I started playing and got hooked
hmmm, do you use any mods?
I did a bit of research and found this:
"No invite / join options: Switch doesn't have them! Players just need to make sure they're registered as friends on both their devices, and then games they host will show up in the co-op menu. To prevent new players joining you can disable new character creation in the options menu."
https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/stardew-valley-switch-multiplayer-known-issues-fixes.150754/#post-3320439
Chucklefish Forums
Idk if there's mods on switch, but from Cheese's post it sounds like no
i don't think mods are on any console
You can if you hack your Switch which is not recommended.
but we dont talk aboout how to here
hi, im playing on a co-op server with friends and i hate my character name
is there a way to edit a save file to change it
does the host have it?
Sooooo. Im on mobile stardew and whenever i enter this one house im stuck in an infinite loop
@molten orchid do you use any mods?
Which house is it?
A lot of mods.. And i dont remember. Id have to go check so brb
Okay. Please ask in #archived-modded-support and include a smapi log
...oof ok
@hexed apex I think the savefile is on the host side, yes. If your current player name is fairly unique (something unrelated to any item names, place names that might be in the savefile) it should be fairly simple and you can try editing the save file directly.
Have your friend make a backup copy of the save folder first in case anything goes wrong. Then do a find and replace through the files to replace your old name with a chosen new one.
@willow elm thanks so much! appreciate it
hi there people. I got a heavy modded stardewvalley extended game that went wll until summer 8, when i sleep, it crashes all the time. You like help, i can provde smapi logs
alright, will post there 🙂
Hello! I am reaching out for support, as I am at my wit's end. Anyone have any idea why SMAPI's cmd prompt window closes as soon as it opens when attempting to do a fresh install on a device that has never had a modded version of SV?
#archived-modded-support might be better
Thanks, going there!
HElp me iost all my progres!
can you elaborate?
i got smapi and it erased al my progress
as in it deleted your save?
yes'
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
check this file directory and see if your save is there
no
its not there?
it is not
did you check your recycling bin too?
if its not there or in your saves folder, then its gone Im afraid
im so disappointed i havent played in forever
so very
very anooyd
i still need help
i have questions if you dont mind
?
Ok so, I have it so that when I start up Stardew Valley, Smapi starts up and loads the mods. I did this via steam. Well, recently, to mod Skyrim, I had to move Steam's files so I am getting the error "The system cannot find the path specified" I know I gotta redirect but I cannot remember how. Anyone got any links or direction for me to look in and how to fix this?
Right click stardew valley in steam and click properties
proably be better for #archived-modded-support
Np
Ok
i got the screen
It might be a compatibility issue, but I don't know precisely
Hello everyone! I would like to ask about the game support on linux. After 1.4 update I experience some bugs that are not fixed yet 
I've used a lot of different distros and problems are the same. So the first thing is the wrong name of the game is displayed in Discord.
It's not displayed like on Windows ( "Stardew Valley" ). It says I'm playing "stardewvalley.bin.x86_64" (on linux)
Well, it's not a big deal, but looks awful...
And the second bug is the glitching cursor
It all appeared after 1.4 update, on all distros that I've tested, on all drivers that I've tested, even on different desktop environments
Also, sorry for my bad English, not my native language 
- one more bug on Linux version, Some inventory slots can't be switched by the number keys
In my version It's 1, 5, 9, 0, -, =
how do i use mods on sdv
@misty girder you can watch some guides on YouTube, or just visit #archived-modded-support
People there should know how to use mods
@hexed apex you'll need to ask on #archived-modded-support since you have a crash that is mod related
Hello. Since yesterday, when I try to launch SDV, a pop-up window opens and tells me I do not have enough space and it could endanger my data. But, when I check my disk space, there is more than enough. Can someone help me?
@hexed apex #archived-modded-support
@agile jetty sounds like you have a virus or something, the game should never do something like that
@hard tartan go ahead and report all of those at the link below!
!officialbug
If you've checked that it's not a mod bug, you can report bugs to the Stardew Valley developers here: https://forums.stardewvalley.net/index.php?forums/help-bug-reports.12/ (do a quick search first so you don't report something they're already looking into). Alternatively, you can email support@stardewvalley.net
I have seen a few similar problems on a few forums after a Google search, but they advised to meddle with the files and I have a total lack of knowlege of how all of this works and don't want to be tricked into deleting something important (like system32, but less obvious)
Example of a similar problem: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/1621726179584470768/?ctp=2#c1621726179584591197

hi! i got the defender achievement (the one where you complete all the monster eradication goals) but i didn’t get a stardrop... that’s the reward isnt it?
No, that's not one of the in game stardrops. Maybe there's a mod that adds one.
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Adventurer's_Guild#Monster_Eradication_Goals
Vanilla rewards are listed here
oh! my bad!
It's the 5th of summer and willy's not back I guess he got eaten
you are asking for help ? if yes, do you use mods ?
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
Yep, this is vanilla only support
(i think it's a modded content ? i don't remember seeing this in vanilla)
(so there is no point trying to test this in vanilla right ?)
the letter is when you try to enter the fish shop before will come sback
so it is in vanilla
ok
I may have to wait till next year
so maybe testing without any mod may make sense, but if it's not possible, #archived-modded-support is the place where to ask
(i don't think you have to wait untill next year, but if you don't do what asked helping will be difficult)
Theres no error log
Hello, sorry for the inconvenience, but can someone help me with this error that I have when I try to install SMPAI v3.5 for stardew valley 1.4.5?
hi! can anyone tell me where in the save text file the "favorite animal" thing is stored? or the pet name? i accidentally chose the wrong pet when i started the game and i want to fix it by editing my save
Yep, it's a pretty easy save edit
You'll want to look for <catPerson> to change the pet type. The name should be searchable and just change every instance of it
!saves
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
thanks so much! is there a way to change my pet's name too?
The name should be searchable and just change every instance of it
thanks!!
np!
is it possible to rename the farmer? or change the farmer’s gender? (i have an awesome save but it was created before i came out as trans)
save ediiong
?
save editing
oh fuck ios
ok!
Basically searching the name of your farmer and find > replacing every instance of it
Including in the SaveGameInfo file
(but changing the name can sometimes fuck up other parts of the save, so beware)
!saves
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
ah i see. thanks! and gender?
I think that one is a single flag, or you can install Customize Anywhere ( a mod) to change that
can that cause issues too?
Shouldn't, since not much is tied to the gender in game
cool thanks!
That flag is <isMale>
ah awesome! thanks for the help!!
np 🙂
ive never save edited so idk what to look for lol
You might be able to access the save files on iOS? What if you follow the directions here @topaz yarrow https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves
Oh nvm I see you already got linked
xml actually
oh yeah
Most likely would need to transfer to PC to edit and then return
but you can edit them with a text editor
For gender it's the <ismale> tag and inside just switching between true and false
You can, but they are probably too big to open on mobile
(already noted that logofe)
Plus trying to edit in a plain text editor is a nightmare
.< Ahgh I can't read today lol
plain text editor? and should i get a better text editor? i think i’m using notepad on windows
If you want the easiest time of it, Sublime or Notepad++ is the way to go
oh cool thanks again!
Notepad is a plain text editor, so it works, but it's tedious and you are more likely to screw something up
got it
i have a question, can you delete a character in your farm if you were the host
Yeah. Go to Robin's and demolish their cabin
Are there plans to adding child aging and sitting in chairs features to the game?
as far as we know, no
Aww :(
you can look into mods if you want similar features
Yeah ikr but child aging doesn't support multiplayer
I wish stardew add this someday
Well who knows
Me too
But thanks for answering
Me too
@carmine willow we're two lol
It's just that if npcs can grow up and sit in chairs why players can't ..
(Vincent and jasmine)
farmers dont have sitting sprites
I just want my babies to grow up and get a job after they've been alive for 16 years.
They do have
Also going to school.
anyways, this topic best be moved to a different channel
how does multiplayer saves work?
ik it saves the hosts save file
but whatever about the people connecting to your hosted farm
where are the save files for them?
They don’t get the save file
oh so is all there stuff saved on the host save file?
Yep, the other plays don’t have anyway to access it without the host inviting them in
oh ok thank you
!saves
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
Some info there too
oh ok thank you
how do i remove a player from multiplayer
i have to do it through the save file right?
just remove the cabin when they leave maybe?
how do i do that sorry
idk
You can kick them
Press k ingame, brings up the kick/ban menu and yeah
(I believe)
I think you demolish their cabin at Robin's building menu? I've never done it myself
Yh I did it thanks guys
Hello, so im fairly new to the game. Me and my friends were playing with the StardewValley Expanded mod and were running into some common issues that I've seen online but havent gotten an defenitive answer how to fix it. The main issues is some of the modded npcs dont appear on the map and some are invisible during events. If you know how to fix it and could tell me how I would appreciate it! Thank you!
Hey! If you take this message over to #archived-modded-support I’m sure someone will be able to answer you there ^^
Alright ty!
Do I need to buy the game for two people if those two people want to play multiplayer?
Yes
Hello, I have an issue with my game not running after I had a child and tried to interact with it, my game won’t load and I have the error it shows on smapi- I recently updated all mods and deleted ones that were incompatible
Thanks sorry
Hi, so my game has been lagging and I really don't know why
Any mods? What platform?
I don't really know how to explain it, but it's laggin in multiplayer and solo game
It lags with and without mods, I even reintalled the game and didn't put any mods, put it's still going
I'm playing on windows, by steam
Anything installed that could be interfering with the game? Are you able to boot into safe mode and test it that way?
I have no idea if thare's anything interfering, and I don't undertand the last thing you said
Try doing this and then play to see if it still does it
okay will do
Should I enable just the safe mode or the one with networking?
Okay, i did it with networking and my game just crashed
And it was still lagging
I'm not sure why but it's not lagging anymore
stuck on this screen
the other player needs to click ok on the shipment scree
@dark pasture sorry, work got busy earlier. can you upload a log using just smapi, no mods when it crashes please?
So, I want to change my player name. With this command do the trick?
Not working for me, but I am new, sorta, at this
I strongly recommend against that, as I believe it can cause issues. The safer, but still risky method is save editing
!saves
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
you would use debug player_setname farmer (name)
but if you can try the method Minerva mentioned
But, if I already created a save file copy, then what is the harm, yeah?
Oftentimes the effects of renaming aren't apparent right away. So as long as you don't mind potentially losing some progress, sure
I did get time frozen, though...
@chrome sandal everyone was readied but it still said 3/4
its fine tho we just had to wait half an hour hopefully won't happen again
cold just be internet lag then
probably yh
@dark pasture sorry, work got busy earlier. can you upload a log using just smapi, no mods when it crashes please?
@tribal nacelle the crash only happened when i was on safe mode, yesterday i played it for hours with no mods after i turned the safe mode off and got no problems whatsoever
i do believe it's fixed, but today i'm going to play test it with mods, maybe they caused some problems? idk
Ah sorry, wrong section. Haven't been here in a while.
All g haha
Hello, I have an issue with my game, it doesn't launch normally if i don't put these 2 files(xinput1_3.dll & xinput9_1_0.dll) from the game folder. when these files are absent, the game won't launch. its running fine when the files are there but the controllers are not working anymore
What platform Nibs?
@dark pasture very likely a mod issue then. #archived-modded-support can help you sort that out!
Playing it on windows 10/steam
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 :)
Good evening fellas, i'm kinda new to mods but everything i installed runs smoothly, except for Expanded.
If i ever add it, the game will only allow me to create a save, and it won't load, leaving me waiting with a black screen.
Sometimes i don't even make it to main menu hahahah, i can't see what's wrong with log down there :(
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
Understood, thanks
Okay, so...
I made a mistake on one day, but it already got saved, so I loaded the "_old" save
And?
Thing is I did rename the "_old" save, but now I've realized I forgot about the "SaveGameInfo" one. It must have loaded basically the SaveGameInfo from one day later together with the renamed other file.
Did I mess up my game?
It does seem to running fine for now
Nope, it just might display oddly in the load save menu
Np!
I’ve lost progress from a year 4 world back to a year 1 I tried the _old file but it didn’t work
What is it doing? Crashing, not opening at all, etc?
Do you have the Steam version? Did you override a save with a cloud backup?
How do I get a cloud backup?
Do you have the Steam version?
Yea
When the game opens, it sometimes pops up with a box telling you the local and cloud versions don't match, and asks you to pick a version
I don’t see a box
You can disable this in the Steam properties for SDV, but if you overrode it, it's gone
It only happens when the files aren't in sync. Once you reconnect and override, it resyncs
Do you ever play on other PCs?
I did before
That's very likely the issue then, especially if it's been a long time since you've played on the other one. Steam probably backed up the old year 1 save, you accidentally clicked the override when it gave the option, and poof :/
Not the first time we've seen this
Np, sorry I couldn't help 😦
It’s okay
i just did a fresh install, the game still won't launch
At all?
ye
Couple things to try then - try reinstalling XNA/.NET, and if that doesn't work, try booting in safe mode and see if the game will launch that way. That helps us narrow down the issue
!reinstalldeps
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).
the game still didn't launch
You did both things? .NET/XNA and safe mode?
Any error at all, or just straight up refuses to launch
is your computer an absolute dead potato..?
If no error, our next step is to see why it won't even boot in safe mode
!installforlog
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.)
Is your computer able to launch other applications/games?
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
The only time when you want a crash is in game support....

Yeeeep. We've had several of these recently :/
If reinstalling XNA doesn't fix it, you most likely will need to do a Windows reset
well, it did launch when i put xinput1_3.dll & xinput9_1_0.dll to the game folder
the only downside is that the overlay and controllers doesn't work
And where did you get those from?
You can try updating/reinstalling DirectX as well
Still the same, thanks for the help
You are most likely going to have to reset Windows. Where-ever you got those files from, unless you got them from Microsoft, I wouldn't trust them
Those two files? Got em from system32 folder
hmm. Tried this one? https://steamcommunity.com/app/413150/discussions/1/351660338732441942/
(i need to head off, will check in when I get up for work)
I was wondering if anyone could DM to help me install SMAPI on my Mac. I tried 3 hours last night, but with no luck. Gives me a weird message in my terminal about zsh.
Feel free to ask in #archived-modded-support, and we'll help if we can!
Hi,I dont have the option to invite people to my game on co-op or join friends, anyone have any advice?
!mphelp
See this page for connection issues in multiplayer: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Can.27t_connect_to_another_player_in_multiplayer. (Applies to both vanilla and modded games; console players just check as many steps as you can!)
@copper hollow thank you!
Hi, I have a question about houses for players married to each other in a co-op game. Both houses are upgraded completely, for various reasons. But the game has each of us assigned to our original houses, with regard to where we wake up if we fail to make it to bed on time.
Is there a way to designate a home for farmers, the way barns and coops can be designated as homes for animals?
There isn't, though as you've probably discovered you can end day normally in either house/cabin and wake up there properly.
😄 Yes, yes, we shouldn't be squeaking in at 1:40.
But even if the "visiting" farmer passes out in the house, the game drags them out and sticks them in the bed in the other house.
Is the game still being updated? Is there somewhere I can suggest the feature?
We know 1.5 is being worked on, but no more than that. You can submit a suggestion on the official forums here https://forums.stardewvalley.net/index.php?forums/game-suggestions.22/! If you have more gameplay questions later, you will probably get more and faster help in #stardew-spoilers or #stardew-valley depending :)
Thank you!
1.5 needs to add a way to call the horse to your location.
There are a few mods that do that, but that would be a cool vanilla feature
Hey, is there a way I can turn off tutorial hints? I keep getting spammed about watering my plants.
And, for a hot key, do I use that in the Command area, by just typing a 1 if I want something to instantly grow, for example?
#archived-modded-support for that question
if you need help with that, you can ask in #archived-modded-support
So is game support for non-mod support?
yes
So a lil spoiler just in case
I'm on a playing on mobile and for secret note #15 the mermaid show code for the shells when i wait for the show to end and put in the code i dont get a pearl
!officialbug
If you've checked that it's not a mod bug, you can report bugs to the Stardew Valley developers here: https://forums.stardewvalley.net/index.php?forums/help-bug-reports.12/ (do a quick search first so you don't report something they're already looking into). Alternatively, you can email support@stardewvalley.net
Ohhh, I like blueberries... I used to grow then every year.
@hexed apex the code only works one time for each player (even if you enter the code before getting the note) but if you've never gotten a pearl before from the show, then yes it's a bug.
Hi, I'm just wondering does the game still crash when you plug in or plug out your headphones? I remember when I played SDV a while ago it still happened but I'm wondering if this update fixed it
whenever you plugged something in or out of your audio port it would immediately crash SDV
Yes, the game needs a working audio device. That's an XNA thing, not SDV in particular
Oof, that's annoying since i tend to switch my headphones between my ipad and computer a lot during game
thanks for letting me know
No problem :)
is this a glitch? i tried interacting with her and she walked through the greenhouse and to the left out of bounds lol
i think robn does that on some occasions
Howdy! I've been having a weird issue in windowed mode. The bottom chunk of my screen is just a black bar, no matter what my zoom level is.
It uh, cleanly prevents me from seeing my entire hotbar
It doesnt appear at all in borderless or fullscreen, but is a problem with windowed
I also can't adjust my resolution.
Ended up finding an alright workaround. Switched to fullscreen, lowered my resolution a step.
Yes, Robin wandering out of bounds is an extremely common bug, to the point it's a meme of sorts on the subreddit
lmao ok thanks
Hello, I bought stardew valley back in December on steam. I've put 155 hours on this game, got busy didn't play it for a month; when i came back to it it won't start up. I've tried to advice on the stardew valley website, that hasn't worked. I'm at a loss as to what to do.
For a start, have you tried verifying the integrity of your game files? https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335
Article "Verify Integrity of Game Files"
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 have tried verifying the integrity of the game files, i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game
.NET is installed and up to date
What happens when you try to run it? Does any window appear, black screen maybe, or just nothing?
Are you launching through Steam or launching directly from the .exe?
when i attempt to run a steam loading window will sometimes come up, but then nothing will happen
Can you try launching it through the .exe directly and not through Steam?
how would i go about doing that?
Find the StardewValley.exe file on your computer
You can just search for that exactly and it'll probably come up
that didn't come up at all?
Anything like Afterburner installed?
What type of app/program would that be considered?
no nothing like that
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.)
Yep, this is just to see if it's throwing an error internally
i get this error message "You don't seem to have XNA Framework installed. Please run the game at least once before installing SMAPI, so it can perform its first-time setup."
Try uninstalling SMAPI then and running the vanilla game
Arcane, read back. They can't launch it
(vanilla support). Try reinstalling XNA from the link and running again
can i get that direct link?
!reinstalldeps
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).
Heheh, sorry, wasnt looking at the whole thing(on mobile)
No problem 🙂
Hey guys!
I'm new here 😆
I don't know why but today I was playing with my friend as usual and everytime I went to bed the game crashed.
It didn't happen before, I'm not sure if is some mod, can someone help me to figure it out?
SMAPI log: https://smapi.io/log/94afff8c738e4a9682bb798aa110ff1e
it would go into #archived-modded-support because its... using mods
oh ok
Yep. Unless you can consistently replicate it in vanilla on an unmodded save
it was a pirated copy prolly just an issue with itself
😩 Yeeeeep. No help from us then
😳
hi guys. question: does SVE work only on 1.4.4 patch? cause im currently using 1.4.2. and installed all required mods and the SVE mod does not work.
Can someone help me? I try loading up the game through steam, and it doesn't open? I try opening it from my desktop, and it doesnt open. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and it still doesnt load up.
also, verifying game files doesnt work
and no mods are installed
Please ping me if you find a solution
I fixed the issue - I didn't have Microsoft XNA installed
not sure what's causing this, but almost all of the the text in-menu and in-game is completely messed up for me?
tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that didn't fix it
Adrian, do you use any mods? Checking since this channel is for vanilla support (no mods). Also, which language are you using?
nope, I play completely vanilla. I've been using English, but I tried switching to French to check if it happened with other ones, and the same thing happened.
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.)
Do you usually play the game in english?
yep
hmm
and you didnt acidentally change your computers language or the games language?
I recently updated it from ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04, but I don't know how that would have affected the language settings, or why it's only appearing in this single program
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 :)
something may have gotten corrupted
ok
that just means its looking for modified, missing, or corrupted files and restoring them
so should I try running it again and seeing if that fixed it?
sure
looks like it didn't; I'm working on installing SMAPI, but I don't really understand how to do so
If you need help installing SMAPI, you can head over to #archived-modded-support
I'm not really sure about the game issue though
Not for install for log issues
You just need to extract the download and run the Unix installer
Nothing else needed for Linux
how do I run the Unix installer?
There should be a "install on linux" program in there. The wiki also outlines these steps
I have Mono installed, but running "install on Linux.sh" doesn't actually bring up anything for me, and installing it manually just makes me unable to open the game
Any error or just won't open? Which platform are you using for the game, Steam or GoG?
just won't open; using Steam
Can you screenshot the file you are trying to use for the installer? Sometimes people grab the wrong one
Hmm. And you extracted, not trying to run from the zip?
yep
Hmm. I honestly have no idea what's going on then, can I see your game folder?
would that be the one I get to by opening Steam and going to local files through there?
Yep
That looks pretty much right. @median crypt you're the Linux person, any idea what's going on here? Font isn't displaying properly, reset didn't fix, can't launch with SMAPI to see if there's any errors
I'm not a Linux person by any stretch, but it looks like SMAPI is inside that folder. Is the issue that trying to run it doesn't work? I thought the issue was that Adrian couldn't install SMAPI
It looks installed properly for a manual one. The main issue is the font problem, smapi is just a tool in this case
Ah right, I forgot that part about the manual install
And frankly I've never seen this issue aside from with certain mods, so it's a bit baffling
because of course it couldn't be something common or quickly solved, that would just be too easy xD
Just an update, my stardew launches properly now
What was the fix?
Deleted xinput files on system32 and syswow64 then reinstalled DirectX
\o/
I recently updated it from ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04, but I don't know how that would have affected the language settings, or why it's only appearing in this single program
@leaden stream Is it posible for you to send me your save file? it will make clear whether the save is corrupted or It's the Linux trouble
I'm also using Ubuntu 20.04, but I have some other issues
@hard tartan it's game-wide, so I'm not quite sure what you mean by my save file?
Yeah, seems to be an issue with the game itself. Nothing in the save file would affect the font like that
the game isn't crashing on startup, but if that's the case and it is installed properly, I should be able to follow the instructions on uploading an error log
Is the console opening before the game?
what do you mean by the console?
The black (or sometimes white on Linux) box that opens before the game window does
ah
I get a little popup from Steam saying "Preparing to launch Stardew Valley" for a couple seconds before the game opens, but that's it
Then SMAPI isn't running/installed properly. I think this one might need to go to the devs honestly, it's very odd
!officialbug
If you've checked that it's not a mod bug, you can report bugs to the Stardew Valley developers here: https://forums.stardewvalley.net/index.php?forums/help-bug-reports.12/ (do a quick search first so you don't report something they're already looking into).

No problem! I hope they can fix it
me too 😅
Anyone watching this thread able to look at a SMAPI crash log?
If you are using mods, head into #archived-modded-support for help 🙂
Yeah I'm there too, just by myself lol
Well this is only for vanilla support. Patience is a virtue 😛
Hello! Are there some plans for Europe physical release for Switch? I think many players and collectors will buy it, myself included 😄
Hello? Is the pumpkin intended to be non edible?
@onyx bridge not that we know of, but you can buy the Japanese version and it will work.
@rocky steppe No it's not. Which game version are you using and can you show a screenshot or video of the problem?
@tribal nacelle i have the latest version on mobile. I cant screenshot it coz i need to press and hold the item for it to appear
1.4.5.145 its says on the app info
Any mods? Android or iOS?
You can try clearing your app cache then, just make sure to back up your saves first....nope. nevermind, over to #archived-modded-support first then
If you can replicate it in vanilla with an unmodded save, then let me know :)
Will try hold on
Yep tried vanilla. Its still the same
Its only the pumpkin's description. I cant eat it but i can put it in my keg
@rocky steppe where did you get the pumpkin? Did you harvest it from a plant or get it somewhere else?
And did you test that with a new save/fresh pumpkin or the same one? Items retain info from mods unless respawned
@willow elm i harvested it
@minerva the same one. Im trying to get to fall to plant them again.
I did tell you to test it with an unmodded save. Sounds heavily like a mod issue
I tried going vanilla. Its still the same
But with the same save or a brand new one that's never had mods?
Brand new.
Wait what do you mean respawned? Is it new save file or new planted batch?
Oh never mind. Not a bug
Ohhh... Hahha.
Must be one of my mods that makes mine on PC edible
Hahah. Im sorry didnt look at wiki. My bad
All good
Thanks for the help 
np~
LOL what you can't eat vanilla pumpkins???
This makes it even funnier that it's a loved gift for Abigail
She probably eats them too, somehow
@tribal nacelle Sorry for delay and not sure if it's still applicable, but I haven't seen that one and am having unrelated issues myself so have some difficulties experimenting
When your in the mines. How does the ladders work? Are they set when you enter the floor, or is it a random chance when you kill a monster and break the rocks?
The locations are set when you enter the floor. But when you kill monsters, new locations can spawn (with or without rocks on top of them).
There's a mod called ladder locator which can highlight all the ladders before you find them.
!reinstalldeps
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).
Try this
thank u @willow elm :)
Uh hello, am very new to this server and came here to ask a specific question, can you marry another player
AND have krobus as a roommate
Was wondering since villagers would normally get their own rooms while players dont if you get married so would it allow for krobus to be okay with that (since he is also okay with being seen by both players)
a better question for one of the sdv chats
probably #stardew-spoilers
thank you!
Hi guys ❤️ Sorry fr the random question but I'm having some issues with re-installing stardew valley... I've had some mods I've removed and attempted to reset the game but now it keeps crashing and I'm unsure of what to do D:
are you still using mods
I’ve donated all the items to the museum but I haven’t gotten the rusty key 👀
I use mods but I don’t think any of them would stop Gunther from giving it to me
If you're using SVE, then the rusty key is obtained in a different manner. This would also be a better question for #archived-modded-support or one of the gameplay channels
Ohhh
Ooof so sorry I've figured it out I was just being dumb about steam going through smapi still
Hello! ❤️ Sorry to bother, but my SDV has been acting a bit weird lately. I play normally but after a couple of days in-game, when it's saving it just crashes and it my saved game disappears. When I look in my folder, my save file name is changed to "Alexia_236456048_STARDEWVALLEYSAVETMP". Same with the SaveGameInfo file.
I play through Steam.
Any idea what could be happening?
If I remove the STARDEWVALLEYSAVETMP, it works just fine again. But after a couple more in game days, it crashes again and goes back into the cycle.
I don't have any mods, btw.
is it all of your saves that it does it with or just that one?
haven't tried with other saves, this is my main one.
i'd say try and see if it does the same with any other save first, because if it doesn't then we know it's something with that file only
@wispy remnant have you tried validating your files?
I haven't no. Is it done through Steam? I'm sorry, I never had problems with a game through Steam before, so I'm a bit confused.
no worries at all, yes it is done through steam -
Right click Stardew Valley in your Steam Library.
Then select 'Properties' from the popup.
After that a new 'Properties' window should show up.
Go to the 3rd tab, 'Local Files', and select; "Verify Integrity of Game Files
and if validating the files doesn't work then try and run the game as admin
Is there any way to zoom out more? I just got the game for PC and it's zoomed in way further than when I played on switch and I already set it to minimum zoom level in the settings.
in the options tab there should be a zoom option if you scroll down
all i can say is try what he is doing in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t66NGNpA0Y4
Answering a question I get asked a lot. This video explains how to zoom way out and way in when playing.
that didn't help, oh well i guess
how zoomed out did it look on your switch?
It looked like the screenshot I sent but in game it looks a lot more zoomed in
and if you feel okay using smapi (aka mods) then you can use this https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1326
Ok I'll try that
This is also a good one to try if you need more zoom https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1621
can i ask for mod support here? im having a problem that i don't know how to fix
