Yes
its still downloading but I don't see it listed
ok
would windows security interfere? it doesn't on my laptop
If that's the only one you have, no
net framework is already installed so it isnt that
Okay, then next step is booting into safe mode and trying to launch that way
how do i do that
ok i will try, thanks
ok it worked in safe mode but still doesn't load when normal
That means there is indeed some type of program on your PC interfering with game being able to launch
How do i find which program that is?
Trial and error pretty much. Let me dig up the script Pathos wrote up
ok thank you
- Open the start menu, type PowerShell, and select the match.
- Run this:
cd "$env:USERPROFILE/desktop"; Get-Process | Select-Object Name, Description, Product, Company, Path | Sort-Object -Property Name | Format-Table -AutoSize > running.txt
Copy the contents of the text file into https://hastebin.com and share the link here
how do i run it? copy paste?
cd : Cannot find path 'C:\Users\young\desktop' because it does not exist.
At line:1 char:1
- cd "$env:USERPROFILE/desktop"; Get-Process | Select-Object Name, Desc ...
-
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (C:\Users\young\desktop:String) [Set-Location], ItemNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetLocationCommand
game me this message in the thing
when i copy pasted into powershell
Huh, I have no idea what that's about. We'll do it the hard way then. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc all together to open the task manager, change to Processes tab, and then screenshot everything in that tab please
Scroll down and keep screenshotting until you hit the bottom please
Let me do some googling here
Ok thanks!
Hmm, can you try disabling this process and anything associated with it?
just end task?
End task and if has a taskbar icon you can click, try closing from there too
ok ended task
Try again then. I suspect that might be the culprit
I just am not familiar with it to know if that's all you'll need to do
same thing, white screen then closes
Okay, try uninstalling it. You can always reinstall later. After uninstalling, reboot your PC and try again
uninstalled, going to reboot
also im pretty sure the vanguard thing is just the launcher for Valorant, which my friend also has but his stardew still works
It appears to check your PC for programs and disables them from running, so I'm very suspicious
hmm
There might be other ones in there, but that's one that jumped out as soon as I looked it up
did I mention i have this exact problem with Terraria?
and its only those 2 games
both work on my laptop
They're both older XNA games, I'm not surprised
If this doesn't work, I'll need you to compare the list of processes on your desktop and your laptop and see what the difference is
Worth a shot ๐ฉ okay, load up both and compare
will do
I need to switch to mobile, but I'll check periodically
ok I will look through both processes and see if anything is different
There are some slight differences, mostly with my different drivers on my PC. I have the LGHUB and NVIDIA stuff on my pc, and my laptop has Mcafee and norton secure stuff, but other than that theres nothing thats really jumping out at me
LGHub was the other one I was wondering about. Try disabling that if you can. Also, never have more than one anti virus
I just installed Java as well and my pc has the Java update scheduler but not the Java update checker, which my laptop has both
Nvidia should be okay, but you can try disabling GeForce if you want
how do i disable the LGHUB? end task again?
Yeah
still the same
it pops up in my taskbar, the stardew logo, but disappears after 2 seconds
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.)
download from nexus or direct download
I prefer direct myself
The instructions are on the site
XD Well, interesting. Yeah you can, it has auto save backups and debug tools if you get glitched out
do you think there is any other way to play it normally?
I am ok using this but Im just wondering
and can i play online with friends?
You can try without SMAPI (just navigate to the game folder and try the exe) And yes, you can
and if i dont have a .exe?
gotcha, yeah that still doesnt work
but thank you so much for your help
I'll use the SMAPI
Very strange. But at least it works!
One more thing,
if i get to the point where i do want to uninstall that, do i just go to the file location and uninstall?
or do i have to go to multiple places/in steam again?
(talking about SMAPI)
The wiki has a guide for that too, basically run the installer again and clear the launch options
oh, and could I try this with Terraria too?
SMAPI is only for SDV, but you could see if they have a mod launcher. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with it
sounds good, thanks for everything
No problem!
Since using SMAPI, it says that im running stardew with 2 mods, what are those?
And, if im playing with friends, do they also need the SMAPI?
The save backup and the debug command enabler. And yes, as long as you are only running SMAPI and the bundled mods, you're fine for them to not have it
Sweet, thanks again!
Help with switch 
My lil bro cant join my farm or i cant join him. Does it have to do with Nat type
!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!)
Hi all, my game is crashing on startup, can someone help me with the SMAPI logs? Not sure if this is the right channel or not
Are you using mods
I'm loading in with SMAPI but only the two mods that come with it, I deleted all my other ones during troubleshooting
I have backups ofc dw
I think
#archived-modded-support
If it was crashing before you removed the mods, #archived-modded-support is the right place
I like how every time the first thing I ask is
"Are you using mods"
And if it's something I don't know where to start I just leave after that
Sounds good, I'll hop over there, thanks ๐

quick question: do the XNA framework and NET framework files that get installed have to be in the folder with the game in order for it to run? Or just somewhere on my PC?
Nope, just on the PC. They install into the correct place automatically
cool cool
wannabe farmer here getting the ol' "sdv won't start" error, cannot for the life of me puzzle it out. i have xna, all the c++ visual redistributables, .NET 4.8 that i've "repaired" at least twice now, and still i cannot get the game to start. trying to load up smapi gives me the following error: "Could not load file or assembly 'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'" yada yada yada. that's my only clue as to the cause of the problem, which would suggest a .NET framework problem, but i've exhausted my resources on how to fix that and have hit a wall. anyone willing to help me figure this out?
!log
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
I assume SMAPI only for logging?
yeah
no smapi logs have been created, smapi itself won't even open and i couldn't install it via the installer, it threw up the same error
Ugh, one of these cases. We've had a lot of these recently, don't know what the issue is that so many people are running into it. Can you try booting in safe mode and see if it'll launch that way?
already tried, it will not
So your not using any mods right?
Oh ok
Frick, okay. Can you screenshot your game folder, path included for me please?
Sorry I just have to ask lol
First thing I ask almost always ๐
haha, no i am not, i can't even get to the point where i can select mods
if it turns out to be b/c i didn't install outside of program files (x86) i'm gonna be sad
Hmm, the smapi-internal folder installed correctly. And nah, that's fine
Okay, since we're not getting a log, screenshot the SMAPI window/error message
i had to C&P the internal folder though, if that matters
Ah
oh jeez hang on whoops
i really really hate this damn slow mode You did reinstall XNA from the wiki links as well?
yes i have installed xna 4.0 refresh or whatever it's called, xnfa40_redist.msi was the file name
Next step then is to delete the Content folder in the game files and then do a content reset
xnafx rather
!reset
See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! You may also want to check this list of XNB > Content Patcher conversions (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods#Alternatives_using_Content_Patcher) to see if there are already replacements for any XNB mods you may have been using :)
once that's completed, should i attempt to run it through smapi or just natively
potentially stupid question but could it be a java problem?
Nah, SDV doesn't use Java
ok contents reacquired, but still not launching
Okay, let me do some digging then. Unfortunately this may be one of the cases where we don't know why it won't run, but let me find all of my notes
Silly question, you do have speakers/headphones plugged in and audio drivers up to date, yes?
i can launch it on my very old, very crappy laptop and it runs (albeit very laggy b/c the aforementioned crappiness) which theoretically should have the same c++, xna, and .NET framework situation
yeah, i've tried plugging in headphones, i have checked my audio drivers
Aha. Second person today with it able to run on another PC and not their current one. Can you try copying the install from the laptop onto this machine while I keep checking?
Also what antivirus are you running
Dang. Don't have Defender running too, correct?
i sure hope not
defender is not running, confirmed
not sure if this is relevant, but i can stream SDV from my crappy laptop ONTO this one via steam, but no audio comes through
that's weird. Nothing like Afterburner installed?
nope
Tried deleting startup_preferences too? Full reinstall of the game?
startup_preferences doesn't exist
presumably b/c the game doesn't run long enough to even create it
Yep
Yeah, that's a Steam thing
XD
I would try copying the install from the other PC and seeing if that works, it's very very likely it's a bugged XNA and those are annoying to fix without some nuclear measures
well i'm a dummy and searched for drivers for audio input and not sound controllers, just installed a new audio driver and gonna reset / try again, if that doesn't work yeah gonna try that
๐ค๐ป
oh trust me, i am not above nuclear measures at this point, i learned what TrustedUsers meant when I was digging around in some .dll dirt
#stardew-valley Buttercups
(this is for crashes, bugs, etc)
np
Oh you know what. .NET 4.8 isn't the right one
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Could_not_load_file_or_assembly 4.5.2; worth a shot of uninstalling .net and xna if it'll let you and reinstalling completely, restarting in between
May also try deleting the whole SDV folder and doing content reset
can't uninstall .NET
Yeah, it doesn't let you sometimes >_>
windows 10 won't let you
there's a repair tool, which i've used, and i've disabled it and re-enabled it
but 4.8 shouldn't be the source of the problem, i have the same .NET framework on both computers
assuming that there's not somehow an error on this one that i just can't fix
i don't quite understand why cloning the install from one computer onto this one would work but i'm about to find out
cloned install does not launch
Gah
so what's the nuclear option
A Windows reset
Yeeeeep
i mean you're supposed to do those every couple of years anyway right
Before you try that, @copper hollow I know I've seen this before, any ideas besides nuclear option?
Nah
.net is a pain in the butt at times, especially since the game is built on a fairly old (now) version of it/xna. XNA isn't even used any more lol
And for some weird reason, some people have issues with XNA not installing properly on first launch and no matter what we try, we can't get it to go
it's gotta be .NET as the culprit, this is not the first time i've had an error like this
.NET uses .json files right?
doing one now
yeah i have 3.5 enabled, gonna disable it
i don't know why that would conflict but yeah worth a shot
this will sound stupid but is it possible to use a nintendo switch stardew save on pc?
they're saved differently I believed
Hello.. so I'm new here and I'm actually have my SMAPI, or like my game in general, crash whenever I go to sleep. I don't know if this is a mod problem so I don't know if I should send it here or the using-mods tab. So the issue is I'm at day 24 of summer y1, and after the day, it crashes on me and losing my save for the day. but before that, when I woke up I received a text on the bottom left saying a tool is ready but it isn't a normal text, more like program line of some sort not the actual text that should come out. I ignored that and went on my day, then when I slept it crashed. I dont know what to do can someone pls help me? :((
I've seen guides to covert switch saves to PC, so it might be possible, but it's complex.
@quartz lodge if you're using any mods at all, troubleshooting always goes in #archived-modded-support
ok thank you!
Post a log there and that might help us help you!
thank you will do! 
Ok. Connection failled after all attemps and steps...
The console saves aren't compatible with PC at all @muted heath. Only PC and mobile saves are compatible
@thorny glacier which platform? Any mods?
@thorny glacier which platform? Any mods?
@tribal nacelle Pc, no mods.
Make sure to disable anything that might interfere with the connection (antivirus, VPN, etc). Also, what's your Steam username? We've had some issues with that
Right, i disable all, start this windows + steam solo. My steam: BAD $CRIM
Oh right, you were here last night. Yeah, you're probably stuck using port forwarding then
The other connection didn't work?
Yeah.
how do I fix this?
My 4G only renews in 20 days, it's over.
But I can play other games using the steam server and being a host
hi guys. I was trying to play in multiplayer in a downloaded map, but for some reason the saves seems to somehow turn themselfes in single player games. So when i try to join my friend's game or when she tries to join mine, the game says that the server is full. Can someone help? (thanks for the attention) (i already asked in #archived-modded-support, but maybe it's the wrong chat)
if it's modded, #archived-modded-support is right
Without being able to do some other testing, it's hard to tell. SDV runs on a different type of protocol and sometimes we don't know why co-op invite codes don't work Skunby. You'll need to look into port forwarding as your alternative (which I can't guide you on)
hello, can someone help me, please?
Problem?
yes
i've been trying to play with a friend
but we are having problems
like, when we try do connect on the server of each other
we have a fail on the connection
can you help us?
and both of us tried to host the server
but the problem still was happening
Different platforms?
no, PC

@thorny glacier as I told you, I can't guide you on this. There should be some resources if you google stardew valley and port forwarding
@tribal nacelle 1. uninstalling / reinstalling the game
2. verifying game cache
3. disabling firewall
4. disabling anti virus
5. disabling both anti virus and firewall
6. uninstalling / reinstalling vc++
7. repairing vc++
8. backing up game files
9. be invited to / join game (both don't work)
10. run steam as admin
What's your Steam username? And are you able to test on another PC?
yes i do
my name on steam is
Ruby da Cherry bih
but now i'm little busy
can we try later?
That should be fine for the username. And yeah, let me know how trying it on another PC goes later. I'll be around for about 7 more hours
ok bro
Not a bro ๐
ok, bro
Nevermind then, good luck figuring out your problem
I cant get the game to start at al
I use steam as my launch platform and any time I try to start it says playing for 10-20 seconds then it just goes back to saying start as in like start playing again the game never is launched
device is a dell laptop
No mods
Any anti viruses?
anti virus is just the base system that windows uses
windows defender
but no anti virus message in its block programs
Disable it
already did
Hmm; have you restarted steam and tried reopening, or even maybe your pc?
Ive tryed reinstalling the game
ive tryed verifying file integrity
also
It for some reason Im like 99% sure that stardew valley has more data then 497
mb
Make sure you've checked out everything in this section and the one following https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch.
Yes?
Does your stardew valley take up more then 496 MB of data on your disk?
I don't play on PC
just fllow mouses instructions, they will help
It's a small game.
In this moment in time my wifi isnt strong enough to download files XD
It takes like 15 minutes to download 4.73 mb of data XD
Rip
so man, did you still have the problem?
@dreamy vault try booting into safe mode and see if SDV will open
well one windows reinstallation later and it's working now, thanks for your help @tribal nacelle
(Coincidentally I was just about to reply to the ping, to say a windows reinstall is your best bet.)
No problem ElJefe!
and i retroactively appreciate the suggestion @copper hollow
Sorry it took that step though XD
eh, it probably fixed a bunch of other garbage on my system so i'm not upset
time to plant some parsnips
Happy farming!
is there a way to adjust the beehouse range? for example can we make it smaller or larger?
Only with mods
If you are able to use mods and want to, you can ask there ^
oh ok ty
np
Opening coop messes up my ui, does anyone know a fix?
I am on a 4k screen @ 250% widnows scale
yup getting there
Yes you have mods?
no mods new game
Ah ok
just bought it
Alright when ever you get a chance send a ss
How do you already have a coop, unless you mean just bou-
Where's the coop
*Co-op
lol didn't realize they had a coop in the game
You should be able to adjust that all in settingz
even if I set it at 125% it's still too small
You can't just zoom in? There should be a option in settings
that's the option I am using
when I first open the game, everything is fine, it has the nice big 1600x900 ui
when I lower the full screen resolution, the ui's size doesn't game
Hmmm,
I don't know how to help;
When ever I don't know how to help, never fear, I am always incompetent
MINERVA OR MOUSE! HELPPPPPP
Wait for one of them
They always know what to do
There's a nice mod that can help with zoom limitations, if you want to get into mods! #archived-modded-support
Hey so I'm kinda new at this and I had mods working yesterday but I deleted some and then went to re download them and now my game crashes and says it's in a game loop
Oh. Any place I can find help for mods?
@fresh pulsar The only way to increase the zoom further is with a mod. The one I prefer is Zoom Level Keybindings (I think that's the name). Guide in #archived-modded-support to getting SMAPI set up for that and it's safe to use in co-op
Stardew multiplayer keeps freezing I don't have any mods and I was trying to play through LAN

Lag is usually a connection issue though
@ornate idol hey, i again, lul, so... what the espirits do?
that we can see in the tv
Fry! Hello! Wb! That's better suited for new farmers, but those decide your luck,
The stardrop icon being held up on the TV means the spirits are good, and you'll have good luck for the day
The primid is midly good luck, and means the spirits are midly happy
The winds mean you have neutral luck and the spirts are pleased nor disturbed
The bats mean you have bad luck, and the spirts are midly disturbed
The skull means you have the worst luck, and the spirts are very disturbed
Hello there, This morning our save just stopped working, i just tried to change the profit margin value in the save folder and everything just broke, anyone know what would fix it? thanks.
Here's the error log too.
Mods?
Nope
Just edited the save file then,
Yup
Alright
I'll see myself out, I am in no way helpful here,
just wait for minerva, or mouse; or even jonqora, they'll be able to help you, on that note
MINERVAAAAA
thx
I also tried to revert the changes i've made, did not help at all
So, I just went through stardew valley like I normally do, and I suddenly got all my skills upped to level 10 except mining on the 10th day of my new farm?
Is this a glitch, or did I accidentally activate some cheat?
Mods, save file editing, visual or physical
I've only got the mod that allows for the host to remain afk so that other people can play with me not being present
#archived-modded-support , no matter the mod, you gotta ask there
Alright, thanks
Alright have a nice day!
Hello there, This morning our save just stopped working, i just tried to change the profit margin value in the save folder and everything just broke, anyone know what would fix it? thanks.
Here's the error log too.
Just brining this back down,
Minerva when you adventually get here
That's a problem that needs solving
Mods?
So when I try to play with my friends sometimes my game cant detect the sessions so I use the invite code but as soon as I click enter invite code the whole game zooms out extremely. Like I can see the whole area I'm in on the screen
Just zoom in...?
When I do that it helps just a tiny tiny bit.
You can't zoom in?
When I zoom in when th screen is like this at max zoom is still not even close to the normal zoom out
Device?
A laptop
Any Mods?
No. Just normal stardew launched from steam
Does it happen every time?
Yes. Every time I use invite code
Even when I'm the host and try to generate an invite code
Hmm
MINERVAAA THERES ANOTHER ONEEEE
@ Pixly The not Fox#7228

Yup
Hi everyone ๐๐ฝ
Just wondering if thereโs a way to fix / avoid stuff disappearing in my house? Iโm in year three, and I woke up and my statue of perfection and a chest and planter were missing. Very annoying. Itโs never happened in any previous ply throughs
*playthroughs
No mods installed no
I agree haha, but somehow they vanished in the night. Theyโre in my bedroom and not blocking anything so itโs weird. No spouse either
@ornate idol wt things they do, for exemple
Chance for staircase
Chance for chest
Loads of things but to do #stardew-valley
Well Hmm,
MINERVA THERES A 3RD ONE SEND HELP
@ Pixly The not Fox#7228
@ DemonSlayer#8992
@ Freedomflighter#4031
Need help
Busy day eh?
Hey so I found the problem with the invite code thing. It automatically forces my resolution to something else
Ah ok
MINERVA ONLY 2 NEED HELP
@ Freedomflighter#4031
@ Pixly The not Fox#7228
Need help
Minerva should be around-
Sometime
Cool thanks ๐
I'm merely a place holder
Haha well thank you for doing that. Bunch of darn kegs disappeared from a barn too ๐ค
That's odd
Very. And Iโm not keen to play if my stuff is gonna vanish lol. If my skull caverns chest vanished Iโd never look at the game again XD
Thatโs a lie I could never leave SDV โค๏ธ
Cake, I'm at work today. Will take a look tonight
Yeah, super busy and I can't save edit here
Sorry to be a bother!
All good! Just letting everyone know
You do your stuff before ours, take all the time you need it's not really urgent
It's very strange that items would just vanish, especially without any mods ๐ค
Is it possible that you loaded an older version of the same savefile by accident? (Steam cloud shenanigans maybe?) Or similarly, loaded a different but similar-looking savefile?
One thing to check is if your in-game date is as expected
Also is it possible that any one else might have opened or played on your save in the meantime?
@hexed apex ^
Hi - thanks! I should have mentioned itโs the mobile version also. No-one has loaded the game, and as far as I can tell on mobile - at least on this game, Iโve never saved a backup so Iโm not sure.
It seems to be specific areas/chucks which loaded without the items placed there
Stranger and stranger!
Very much so! Iโve played the game countless times on desktop and mobile and never had this issue haha. Will replace the items and cross fingers the item stealing ghost Junimos donโt strike again 
I feel like an idiot now...
I might have just found a way to continue playing SV past the CC crash
But the solution means you can't enter the CC ever
Gah it was so simple
@hexed apex 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
@willow turret what was the solution then?
Ok great thanks so much Minerva - will have a look and do so
No problem~
Not entering it heh
What about the cutscene though?
Just skip it
Ah, I thought I remembered it crashing even then
It only happens upon entering the room, so if my friend doesn't enter the room, she won't crash
And since we'd be in a coop, I could still take things to the community center
can't believe I never thought of it before...
Still very bizarre
hey i need help my game crashes when i try to sleep
Mods?
Alright, so I thought of a possible repercussion of skipping the CC for my friend
It all depends
Is it possible to talk to the wizard without unlocking the CC?
Yes I think, only you'd have to catch him at a festival (moonlight jellies or fall fair I think)
And once you have access to the witch's hut in later game, you can warp into his tower from there at any time without using the front door
Oh, ain't that year 2?
It's after you finish the CC/Joja developments, whenever that is
Gah dang it
Since my friend's gonna be skipping entering the CC due to a bug, this means that she won't be able to talk to the wizard at all
Well
I don't think it's a bug at least
But a game breaking crash
๐ฌ
Yeah, but at least I myself will be able to complete it for the both of us
Since I can enter the building fine
Yeah. I guess she'll never learn the Junimo language. I don't think there are any repercussions to that in the vanilla game, though
We could add the event flag to the save for her so she should get the letter from the wizard
how do I add mods into the game?
like I know i put them in files'
but how
and where do I egt them
get
#archived-modded-support please
See the pins in #archived-modded-support :)
Oof sorry
This channel is for vanilla support only! Good luck on your journey
all good, common mistake
I know I'm late but shhhh
I have a question, when you plant a seed, does that count as day 1?
That's more a gameplay question for #stardew-valley ๐
Minerva, how did you get so good at game support
Being the only one who would do it XD
hi, my game launchs but wont open, it stays minimized :(
i already verified the game files and it keeps happening
also idk if this helps but i was playing normally when accidentally my dad turned my pc off
maybe that caused the problem?
i also recorded my screen, i think this explains it better than my broken english lol
ill try reinstalling it now
I don't have many ideas, but I have one idea - try pressing F12
(with the game open when it looks weird)
doesn't work
Have you tried restarting your pc,
Maybe even unplugging and replugging it in
Any anti-viruses?
If so disable them
So try those and ping me
Any anti-viruses?
@ornate idol Disabling windows defender worked, thank you :)
Any updates about our save?
@ornate idol how i can find the lend
how i can find the lend
What do you mean?
Hello there, This morning our save just stopped working, i just tried to change the profit margin value in the save folder and everything just broke, anyone know what would fix it? thanks.
Here's the error log too.
Hey there, any update on this?

@silk blade first rule of save file editing, did you make a backup before changing anything?
Ok, make a backup of the entire folder now haha, and put it somewhere else safe on your computer
And then try the step called "Undo a previous save"
The game saves progress when the in-game day ends, i.e., when the farmer goes to bed, collapses from exhaustion, or collapses at 2am. All progress during a day is lost if the player quits the game without ending the day. In multiplayer, the game saves after all players click t...
alright,i'll see if that works,thanks
You might lose some progress in your game, but if it works then at least you won't lose the whole game 
we didnt had much anyway, didnt want to bother you guys in the first place but eh, other friends want to try anyway
If you get it working again, save a backup of the working copy
And then if you want to try again, look for the first part in the file that says
<difficultyModifier>1</difficultyModifier>
(Or it might say 0.75 or 0.5 or 0.25 in the middle)
You can change the number in the middle to any of those options (1, 0.75, 0.5 or 0.25) and it should work.
that's literally what i tried to modify tho
๐คท maybe missed a < or something somewhere then? XML is very picky about the formatting
yeah i guess is screwed somewhere
Just tried to do what you said ,did not work, still crashes

@rocky fossil The fish? The wiki gives the location, and you can switch the page to your preferred language: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Legend
And just for next time, this channel is more for technical issues. Gameplay questions are best for #stardew-valley :)
@silk blade can you send a zip of your save folder? I'll see if i can find the problem
oh well, yeah there it is
Ah, I found the problem. It is with the text editor you were using to change things
wha
It doesn't have the correct character encoding for something. What's your dog's name on the farm? It's showing up as La๏ฟฝka
Is the completed CC cutscene skippable? Or do we HAVE to watch it
So,if i just like copy paste in the right text editor it works?
I see. So whatever text editor you used, it didn't understand the รฏ when it opened the save file. And then when you saved the changes, it saved with a broken character instead
It would be best to re-open the unchanged save file in a different text editor and edit it there. I don't know if there might be other broken characters that have been saved in this one.
Could you name one that works to make sure?
@sinful sparrow oh thnks 
Um, I use Visual Studio Code for this but that is probably overkill.
You could try Notepad++ I've heard it's good? What were you using before?
wordpad
actually this will be faster, lemme just check if i can fix it quick
Yup, it's just the one character looks like!
Just checking, what profit margin did you want?
I never thought that friendly looking doggo could break everything
uh 50% sounds good
@rocky fossil you can ask in #stardew-valley :)
Whoops :P
De rien! ๐
@willow elm THANK YOU WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH MAN !!!! 
Looks like my question got lost here, is the Completed CC cutscene skippable?
I think they all should be post 1.4
phew
So just skipping the CC unlocking cutscene worked for my friend, however this means she won't be able to interact with the wizard since she can't progress the 'Rat Problem' quest
Yeah, did you see my message about editing in the flags? We may be able to do that so she can at least see the Wizard
๐๐ป understandable. Hate for her to miss out on more of the game though
XD
I was telling her about how spouses worked
And she thought spouses could do stuff like backflips
I'll be on in a bit. Gotta find the flags
Nah
Hah, figured
We have a doc, all good
i'm not surprised heh
Any updates?
Sorry, just got on the PC
Okay, that should be the only flags. May have to sleep one more day, but the letter from the wizard should show up in the mail
Yeah it'll show up the day after changing the flag I believe
Thanks
We'll test it now
No problem! If it doesn't show up I'll take a look and see if there's any more to add
Didn't do anything when sleeping the first day
Hmm
I figured that would happen actually
?
Well since the problem is that entering the CC crashes it, since to progress the quest you have to enter the CC and interact with a bundle
So most likely the flag that sets the quest forward tells the game that she was in the CC, thus the CC must be loaded for it to work
This is the most bizarre bug I have ever seen XD
Just adding a flag doesn't actually load the map, that should not happen
Heh
Like we discussed prior, it might not even be a bug, it could still be the computer not allowing something to run
It probably is, but the point stands that the flag doesn't actually load the map. What a problem, yeesh ๐ฉ I'll do some experimenting later and make sure the flags are correct and I didn't just miss one
Mk
SO
I literally give up
The game is crashing again
Regardless of which save we use
Not even the original save works anymore

@tribal nacelle
I've come here before and did all the steps, including opening the doors ...
is there any other server that i can test to see if it works?
There's no servers for SDV co-op; it's all peer to peer. If port forwarding for a virtual LAN doesn't work, there's nothing else we can do
ah, ok. Thank you
I literally don't know what to do
:( I have no idea either Moosen. She can't do a Windows reset, right?
She can, she doesn't want to
Same thing in this case ๐ That's really the only thing left to try at this point, tbh
Mhm
hi all
just wanted to ask, why the fields that im making with the Hoe are dissapearing after the night??
@kind steppe that's just something the game does. If you don't plant anything in them, hoed areas start to revert to unhoed overnight.
that sucks, ok thank you ๐
oh, one more thing, is there a way to turn down the sound volume in the game??
@kind steppe yes. If you bring up the menu (hotkey is default e on windows) and explore, music volume has a slider. Just a heads up-questions like this might get answered a little faster in the new-farmers channel-it seems to see more traffic than this ๐
ahh yes @hidden quiver thank you ๐
@kind steppe
But in future notice don't ask gameplay questions here! Those are better suited to #stardew-valley , this channel is for helping people with technical problems , in the future halla please redrecit people to the correct channel
@ornate idol understood sorry
It's fine! Just take note of it in the future!
@tribal nacelle I solved my error.
How so?
You probably have something interfering with the folder corrupting it then
No problem
Hey, I'm having trouble playing Stardew on my Huawei P40 Lite (Android 10.1, latest version, NOT pirated) - Every time I open the app, it tells me I need to give it external storage permissions - However, these have already been granted. Re-installing, or re-granting or un-granting said permissions does not change anything.
Trying to mod or no?
Hmm. Does it use the standard Play Store for apps?
Kinda? I've downloaded the Aurora store, which is like an interface between the play store that'll run on huawei devices (considering google won't allow it otherwise)
It should just download the regular APK
We've had this problem before
Minerva remember
I'm not shy about giving apey my money so if neccessary i'll happily download amazon's and try that version out
Hmm. There could be an issue with that or it's just the custom OS build for Huawei devices. I'd report it to the forums and through the Play Store both
!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
(yes, that's why I asked)
Last time we had the problem they also used the aurora store right?
The Amazon version is probably worse tbh XD The Fire store is a hot mess
Any other app store I can buy stardew in?
And indeed it was the same store
If you could, could you use the official app store?
I can't use google play, sadly
Yeah, Play Store is it for Android
Huawei device means no google apps
Yeah, figured that much
Hmmm
And you don't have another Android device to try and jump it from?
I've gotten around it perfectly fine with aurora and youtube vanced but besides that this is my first issue with this phone
I've got a huawei p20 where it works fine from the play store
I'll try downloading aurora on that, see if i have the same issue
p20 is what brand?
Did the other person ever solved there problem? Didn't they try to download it on the android store website or smth and we didn't hear back
Huawei
RIP
You can try to transfer the apk, but not sure if it'll work
I don't think so cake
I don't think we heard back from them
I'm gonna poke the devs about this one too, though since it's Huawei not sure if there's anything they can do. CA doesn't handle the Android port, that's still CF
My plan of action rn:
Download aurora store on old phone
Download stardew through that
see if it works
if yes, it's the p40
if not, it's google play
either way, report bug
Sounds good, let me know what you find so I can make sure they see it
Yep!
Both app store and on the forums
Good luck!
^
Okay, so it's not the aurora store - I've downloaded stardew on my Huawei p20 running android 9 through the aurora store, and granting storage permissions works flawlessly. Seems like it's something to do with the p40.
Different OS versions on the two?
Yes, the p20 is running android 9 running emui 9.1.0, the p40 is running android 10 with emui version 10.0.1
Probably some type of change in the OS then. I'll pass that info on, but please do include that in the bug reports! Hopefully they can fix it
I'll make sure to do so.
Uh, on the note of bug reports, i'm having trouble getting my confirmation email for the forums lol
XD It can take a while
Oh I just realized that because I factory reset my phone isn't running latest emui, let me update and check again (the p40)
Didn't fix it.
Boo
Hey, uh, how do I report bugs to the store?
I'm also still waiting on a confirmation email for the forums but i'm leaving that on the backburner while I report it on the store
There should be some type of "developer contact" section on the listing
Yep, since they are the ones porting it
Alright, will do, thanks
No problem!
Alright, sent a fairly concise but informative email their way. Time to try making a 2nd stardew forum account to see if i'll actually get a confirmation email this time.
Yup, that worked.
I didn't enter my email wrong on the first account, anyone had problems with using custom emails on there?
Nevermind, found it. Ended in my junk and the windows 10 mail client shat itself.
Surprise surprise XD yeah, figured you would have checked junk folder
I did, windows 10 mail just didn't. Gotta find me a new email client, jeez
Bit late, but I know that Stardew is available for Android on Amazon, that might be an option that will work
We discussed that already Odin ๐ On a Huawei device
So Amazon's fire store is probably also not great
Ah, ok 
Thank you though~
Right, reported the bug both ways. Seems i'm definitely not the only one to have the issue, as someone else also posted a thread about something similar on their amazon device
Hoping it'll get fixed soon, but I've got retroarch to keep me busy for now.
Yeah, we've had some people with Fire devices before and it's been a royal nightmare on a few of them. And I hope so too! Guess you could play on your old phone for now though?
Gonna have to sell it to afford my new one, so no, sadly. Got a good pc though if my stardew cravings ever get really bad.
Ah, that works too ๐ Think it's on sale via Steam still rn
Already have both it and the soundtrack

like i said, not shy about giving apey my money :P
Someone on Reddit has posted how he apparently softlocked in his house by putting by accident a hardwood fence in the one-tile path between his bedroom and the rest of his house. His axe is at Clint's, and his inventory does not seem to hold anything able to help. He is on XBox. Has someone any idea how to help, apart from waiting 4 years for the fence to break?
Any bombs on hand?
If not, there's not a whole lot I think you can do on console. #stardew-spoilers might have a better idea
Here's what he reported having: "-Obsidian Edge Sword -Steel Pickaxe -Master Slingshot -30 Torches -20 Field Snacks -Hoe -Scythe -Bamboo Pole -10 Coal -200 Stone -20 Wood -Poppy -Gate I can also access a bunch of random crops(mostly flowers) and all my old swords and some lead clubs from the mine."
I'll ask in #stardew-spoilers too
Cherry bomb needs copper. Gate might work, not sure. Already saved?
Can try the pickaxe as well
Already saved. Pickaxe could work?
Pickaxe only works on iron and stone fence iirc ๐
Can he load the save as multiplayer... oh wait you'd need to visit Robin to build a cabin, darn
Unless he's lucky enough to have randomly built a cabin already for some other reason
hey y'all. In which file can I manipulate my "Farm Name"?
You would need to change it in both the main save file (FarmerName_18373839) and in the SaveGameInfo file
In-between <farmName> and </farmName> in both locations
With
The visual glitch
Where
Marnie's Ranch
Yes that is where you are
But where's the visual glitch
Are you supposed to be somewhere else
Check the cows
Any mods?
I know a diffrent spot like that
Just simple sprite overlap problem
@true wraith you can disable that,
I did when ever I play moddrd
You can report it if you wamt
Other than that, I don't know what you want help with,
All SMAPI Android has a Virtual Keyboard button on the top left, so the picture means it is pure vanilla

People help me, I was playing Stardew right now, I went out to lunch and closed the game, so now when I went back in the save, someone helped me please
@edgy terrace Not sure what you mean. Are you using any mods? If so, the using-mods channel can help. If not, could you describe what happened?

Hi there, you can ask in #archived-modded-support. This channel is for vanilla support only (no mods)
ok sry
i think i fell victim to the sleeping / save bug. i play on a mac and am now in winter of year two. I've never had a bug in the game and suddenly I can't save anymore when I go to bed. I see a dark freezed image of the game and my computer tries to load but does not get any further. I tried tips to fix empty spots in the chests and the fridge, or storing certain equipment or removing or adding items to the chests/fridge, but nothing helps. does anyone have advice? I'm losing it
An mods?
any mods @hexed apex? including anything you may have installed by overwriting game files?
oop you beat me to it haha

Then you are probably stuck with port forwarding
Yes
hmm
do you have a cabin?
(that's all in the guide wing)
No need; it's a pretty common issue and the issue is either A) a program on your PC blocking, or B) settings in your router/connection blocking
Any mods
Doesn't mean there can't be something blocking it. A lot of machines have junk installed on them from the factory. And that does nothing for the router part
Just checking
I leave now
oki byee
What's your Steam username? That's the only other thing we haven't added to the guide
oki
....that....was not a direction
jearribearry
lol
Nothing more we can really do here then - that's the exhaustive list of known conflicts with the game. Experiment with the apps on the PC and your router settings if you can, but port forwarding is the only alternative we can offer
okay :)
hi hello
i lost my tools
is there a way to get them back
not in the mines, but just, i stopped playing 3 months ago and now there gone?
So, you saw them disappear into thin air?
Or did you just start to replay the game and not have them on you
If you lost them Lewis could return them the following day
i went thru all my chests and they wernt there
i just started replaying today and i dont have them
i checked the blacksmith too
Play through a day
Try sleeping
And maybe in the morning you'll have them
ive played through 4 days : (
And you haven't had them?
Check your fridge maybe
Recheck every chest
Check the mail
Did you check it?
yea
Re-checked your chest?
Are you sure you've checked all of them
maybe i placed a chest somewhere i dont remeber, like the mines, but thankyou for the help : )
I'd just wait for Minerva or mouse to come by
They always know how to help
i found them......
which chest were they in lmao
a chest in the corner of my screen practically off the screen
figured
thankyou for helping, i feel dumb.
Np
Have a nice day
no problem you can send me that itunes giftcard however u want

@finite delta can we please get local multiplayer support between mobile and pc in
1.5?
there are no plans to bring multiplayer to mobile right now
Ok it would be good for if you're out though that way If your friend has it on their phone and you have it on your pc they can join you kinda like Minecraft
Multiplayer doesn't even have crossplay between diff consoles right now, or console and PC. Asking for multiplayer on mobile and then also asking for mobile crossplay is asking for a lot.
A. Please don't ping CA
B. This is for support not suggestions @hexed apex
@ornate idol @peak osprey I have never used mods in the game
Huh
Any anti viruses?
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling stardew?
Or resetting your PC
No antiviruses. Already tried resetting my Mac but I am going to try the uninstalling and reinstalling. The game has no problems until I go to sleep/save and the whole game crashes and freezes. I can hear the background music but I canโt get back in the game.
For some reason, the [CM] files aren't loading
Thanks, just realized i was in the wrong place

When it says Saturday the forging items reset what does that mean?
I should collect before Saturday? Or on Saturday
Hi, i wrote nearly a month ago a ticket cuz my game completly not starting on my Desktop PC since i once played on my Mac Air
I just accidentally chucked the chicken statuette in the shipping bin, and chucked in cheese after it so I can't retrieve it (: I know I find duplicate artifacts sometimes...will the chicken statuette respawn at some point, does anybody know?
idk if this is the right channel but lewis destroyed my golden lewis statue what can I do
@covert lotus @quasi hemlock Those questions are best in #stardew-valley, but yes you should find another little chicken statue artifact and there's a wiki page about the golden lewis statue that might be good to check ๐
@sage tartan #stardew-valley is a good place to ask that too ๐
Not a chicken statue, I meant golden lewis statue
And I'll try the wiki page I guess but I don't think it'll help cause te statue is gone
@sage tartan Saturday night they reset. So collect on Saturday. Collect again once mid-week, too, if you want the most items.
@gloomy gull have you been here to ask for help or just on the forums?
@ornate lynx any mods? Which platform?
@tribal nacelle i wrote a direct mail to the support mail, but i got anyhting back yet and i tried all i could get in mind.
reinstall, repair, etc
Okay, can you try booting into safe mode and see if it'll open that way?
@tribal nacelle nope, i start it on steam, it shortly like boots, but before opening the game, it just stops, tells me i would have just played it a second ago and is closed again so i can click start again
the strange thing is, that it still starts in my mac air, just not my desktop
i got a new monitor and now the game looks pretty bad its either super zoomed in or out how can i get it to normal i chaked every resolution and zoom level but they were all super weird
hi, me and my friends have been playing fine in multiplayer but yesterday everytime my friends joined the game their games would crash
Any anti viruses?
Any Mods?
i have 44 mods lol no anti viruses
but i didnt change any mods so i dont know why they suddenly started crashing when it was fine before
#archived-modded-support then please
@gloomy gull that's why I asked you to load into Safe Mode and try launching there. That will help us figure out if it's a game problem or a machine problem
Hey guys, does anyone know if you can play SDV on PS4 using a mouse and keyboard?
Not that I'm aware of
@tribal nacelle i tried to start it with steam safe mode, only other thing i could try is starting whole machine in safe mode. but in the end i not think its machine problem, because i ran the game before i went on christmas vacation to my parents on the machine, then on vacation on the air and now, yeah ...
Yes, Windows safe mode, not Steam's
If it still doesn't work after this simple test, then there's some other stuff I can walk you through, but this is one of our first troubleshooting steps
@tribal nacelle okay, i tried the safe mode of pc now, still same behaviour of the game
but i gonna go to bed now, nearly 1 a.m.
Okay, when you are back on, this will be the next step
!installforlog @gloomy gull
@gloomy gull 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.)
@tribal nacelle thx, gonna do that when i woke up, good night
why when i host a multiplayer game, my friend can't join me? (i am using Hamachi)

anything like a firewall or a vpn

it could be something on his end blocking you then
but only he can't join me, it only says lost connection, we're playing vanilla, and i also tried to deleting the startup_preferences
i can join him

My game has been crashing the first time I launch the game when start up my pc. After the crash the game runs fine. Does anyone know the reason? Is there an error log I can find?
Any mods?
Any anti viruses?
No anti virus, mods or not does not matter
It happened with or without mods
possible save corruption?
What I meant is It happen regardless even with vanilla game. It has been plaguing me for a while now and changing hardware does not solve it.
Are you using mods
