Did it start happening at time when you had mods

rancid vine
#

It started happening to my vanilla game, It still happen when mods are install which is expected. I should have clear that up

ornate idol
#

I dont know how to help
Sorry-
So no antiviruses,
Have you tired reinstalling the game?
Restarting your pc,

#

What's your device?
If on pc are you launching through steam?

rancid vine
#

No worries. It works find after the first crash but after restarting the pc it will went through the same cycle

#

Im on desktop rn. Steam port

#

It started on my old laptop.

#

Im here to see If anyone has the same issue and was able to solve it

ornate idol
#

Ah yes I know the best course of action
||let's wait for minerva or mouse||

rancid vine
#

Thanks for the help, I'll surly wait for them.

gloomy gull
#

@tribal nacelle could it be, that i could not start the game cuz i unistalled xna frameworks?

tribal nacelle
#

Yeeeeeep @gloomy gull

#

@rancid vine can you disable your mods folder and replicate the crash with just SMAPI, no mods? And then send the log here

gloomy gull
#

@tribal nacelle well interesting. thats the only thing i need this shit from microsoft for xD uninstalled it ages before but never saw a context to SV not working

tribal nacelle
#

that's one of the "the game won't open" troubleshooting steps even. SDV runs on an older framework. I suggest not deleting Microsoft or Windows programs if you don't know what they do :)

rancid vine
#

@tribal nacelle Thanks for the reply, but I may have to get everything ready by tomorrow. Its too late where I lived and I can't get the log yet.

tribal nacelle
#

No worries, just ping me when you have it

Hey silly question I'm sure. But I'm playing on mobile and got the mobile Smapi and so far it's all been good.

I downloaded an XNB mod and did the whole apk extractor, replace the file and APK sign and install thing. Okay the XNB file was replaced on my base non Smapi game. BUT it wasn't replaced in my SMAPI version... Any suggestions?

@tribal nacelle thanks. Besides I feel pretty dumb and think I figured it out lol

Any one encounter a bug where sources begin to only deal 1 damage?

Any mods?

#

Sorry, just looking over them.

ornate idol
#

What's up with all the mod users today? Like thats 4

tribal nacelle
#

I get streaks of them, usually when we get a rush of new users. People don't read up/read the channel notes either ¯_(ツ)_/¯

buoyant yarrow
#

Is this not for mod users?

tribal nacelle
#

It is not

#

Like I said, vanilla only

buoyant yarrow
#

Sorry to bother you guys.

ornate idol
#

So many people don't bother to read the rules, it feels like more don't read them than do

#

It's fine

tribal nacelle
#

Yeah, all good. It happens a lot, I'm used to it

That's 5 lol

#

Lol. At what point does it become worth it to rename this channel #vanilla-tech-support-no-mods-allowed 🤣

ornate idol
#

We don't need another stardew-planner suitiuation

#

It wouldn't be a problem if people read the rules

tribal nacelle
#

It's been discussed a few times, Junimo have said if anyone has a suggestion for a clearer name, Bouncer it to them

ornate idol
#

Yeah, but don't you think #vanilla-tech-support-no-mods-allowed , is to long, what would you suggest fir a better name

#

Vanilla game support?

tribal nacelle
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

willow elm
ornate idol
#

You do realize they add the same amount of charachters right

#

I think vanilla-game-support
Sounds better the game-suport-no-mods

willow elm
#

I meant better compared to #vanilla-tech-support-no-mods-allowed

🤷 suggest it then
Though occasionally there are people who don't catch on to what vanilla means, and I think "no mods" is more clear that way.

ornate idol
#

No mods just doesn't sound good.
I'm not gonna suggest it ether way

Hello, I'm trying to receive a save file from a friend so that I can host the game myself.
I was wondering if anyone knows how I can use my character instead of theirs when I host.

chrome sandal
#

if you mean use your character on their farm that youre hosting, then you cant

hexed apex
#

It's possible though, someone has done it for me before but I can't ask them now

ornate idol
#

Any mods?

hexed apex
#

Is there a way we can get in a farm in multiplayer even when the host is offline? :c

chrome sandal
#

unfortunately not

willow elm
#

@hexed apex I can't personally vouch for this tool since I haven't used it myself, but the last person I helped with switching hosts on a multiplayer save told me that this worked great for them:
There's a script tool that is supposed to easily make the required changes to switch hosts on a save; it's linked in the comments section of this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/8i5z1j/guide_how_to_change_hosts_of_a_multiplayer_save/
Important: make a complete backup of your save folder before trying anything like this that'll mess with it.

Unmodded doesn't sound horrible. I dunno, maybe splitting modding and the regular support into two categories altogether....

Can anyone help me out with why my Lavapulse chickens wont work now that I've updated everything? I'm getting this:

Hello green welcome, I will be your helper until someone like minerva gets here who actually knows what there doing

proper stone
#

ok

ornate idol
#

So first, is the save file still in the file? Or is the file gome

#

Gone*

proper stone
#

the file itself is gone

ornate idol
#

So in the stardew valley file there's no
Playername_(numbers)
File?

proper stone
#

nope

#

not for the farm that is gone

ornate idol
#

Do you have any way of recovering lost files

proper stone
#

not really

ornate idol
#

I know exactly what to do
MINERVAAAAAAAA

#

I can't help
Wait for someone like minerva or mouse
Please post your story so they understand the problem

proper stone
#

okay

#

so basically one night i went to sleep, and the game crashed right before it saved. I reloaded the game, and my character save slot was gone. It isn't in the files, and it isnt in steam cloud. its multiplayer, if that helps with anything, and one of my friends did a dupe glitch on it, (chest glitch), so maybe that had something to do with it, because i had the same problem with terraria.

ornate idol
#

@proper stone
Are you the host of the file?

proper stone
#

yes

ornate idol
#

Well
No ideas then
Time to wait

peak osprey
proper stone
#

doesnt work either

peak osprey
#

when you say your friend used a dupe glitch, do you remember what exactly they duped? did any of you touch the save file, or install any xnb mods?

ornate idol
#

They said no mods

proper stone
#

they duped golden pumpkins, and im the only one who has touched the file

willow elm
#

Do you still see the folders for other savegames besides this one? Or if you start a new test game it still creates a folder there?

proper stone
#

yes

peak osprey
#

is there a SaveGameInfo anywhere?

proper stone
#

in the files?

peak osprey
#

yeah, is the whole folder for that farmer just gone or is there a SaveGameInfo file?

proper stone
#

i dont see one in the files, theres a content file with like animals and characters and stuff but no save game info

#

the whole file is gone

peak osprey
#

it would be in the folder with the saves

proper stone
#

hold on, computer being slow

#

k yeah the whole folder is gone

#

for the farmer

tribal nacelle
#

Any anti virus installed?

proper stone
#

AVG

ornate idol
#

Yay minerva will save the day

tribal nacelle
#

That might be the culprit. If it crashed and corrupted, it might have removed it. Try checking your quarantine folder/list

proper stone
#

okay

#

nope, nothing in the quarantine list

tribal nacelle
#

Dang. I'm guessing you've checked recycle bin and the obvious stuff first?

proper stone
#

yeah

tribal nacelle
#

And no mods means no auto backup....well crap. You are absolutely sure the file isn't there? You don't have two with the same name or anything?

proper stone
#

yep, not there

tribal nacelle
#

It's sadly most likely a loss then

Hello , as I dont know if there is a bug report channels I post here :

can anyone help me how to install sve on android?

#

Question.
If someone bought me SDV, and threatens to charge back, what would happen if he did?
( hypothetically speaking )

fierce mural
#

usually access to SDV would be revoked

sinful sparrow
#

Alright, this isn't exactly support, but I'd like to update the wiki and I need the help of someone on Android. Currently the wiki lists connecting an Android device to a PC to access your save files, but I know it can be done on device. I'm hoping someone on Android can confirm the file path or steps to viewing your saves on device. https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Mobile_.28Android.29

earnest wolf
#

Would SDV run on 1 core (2 threads) of a 4790k with its integrated graphics?

@sinful sparrow i dont have the game on android, but back when Nintendo switch saves werent encrypted, i tried to edit one from my switch on my phone and nothing was able to open the file because it was so much text, idk if that was just my phone, but yeah... even dedicated xml editors couldnt open it

tribal nacelle
#

Odin, I can walk you through it in DMs probably

#

What is a 4790k Zoe?

earnest wolf
#

I7-4790K processor

tribal nacelle
#

SDV is a very low demand game unless you overload it with mods

earnest wolf
#

It doesnt even list how many cores it needs?

tribal nacelle
#

Nope

earnest wolf
#

2ghz, but is it singlethreaded?

tribal nacelle
#

According to a quick search, single is typically better for gaming. Steam should not let you buy it if you don't meet the specs, but you can also refund the game according to their policy if you find it doesn't work well

earnest wolf
#

No, i have the game already, im planning on setting up a VM with my high-power GPU, and 3 of 4 cores of my CPU for me gaming, and 1 core + integrated graphics for my partner to play SDV

#

Bcs the play with an xbox controller so theyd be able to control their game separately to me playing mine with keyb/mouse

tribal nacelle
#

Ah, that's pretty beyond what we're here to help with. Is there a reason why you can't use two machines?

earnest wolf
#

I just wanted to figure out if 1 core and integrated graphics would run it well enough

#

Ah, that's pretty beyond what we're here to help with. Is there a reason why you can't use two machines?
@tribal nacelle Cant afford another computer 😢😢

tribal nacelle
#

Fair enough. Integrated is usually better than GPU for SDV actually, we have a lot of people with stuttering using GPU. You may also look into the Split Screen co-op mod, might be a simpler plan

earnest wolf
#

Nah, its so i can play whatever i want. My partner only plays SDV on my computer because they like the little QOL mods and texture mods, we have an xbox1 we share for that they use for everything else they play

cloud shore
#

OK so I'm wanting to do something weird that I don't think comes under modding?

#

I'm looking into making a Linux machine based on an NXP MCIMX6U8DVM10AB or similar, and can't find information about what "shader model" equates to for OpenGL, or if there's an ARM version of the game.

#

(other than the Android version ofc)

if someone replies pls ping me, I don't have notifications on except direct mentions or dms

tribal nacelle
#

@median crypt question for you I think ^

upbeat sinew
#

If someone were to chargeback on me,

  1. Would i get banned permanently
  2. If not, if i rebought the game, would i still have my progress?
ornate idol
#

Banned?
Yes

#
  1. Wdym?
  2. Yes
upbeat sinew
#

So i wouldnt have the opportunity to get unbanned, if someone charged back on me, after gifting me stardew?
@ornate idol

wary mason
#

i dont think you'd be banned for losing your copy of stardew, since you got it legitimately, but you'd have to buy it or get gifted it again to play

upbeat sinew
#

alright

#

thats cool, thanks

Not sure if anyone here might have some insight on this. I just got married in my version of SVE. Now when my character goes to sleep for the night he'll get the "zzz" above his head but then wake up and I have to leave the house to skip to the next day. Anyone familiar with this bug/know a fix?

Such are the times we live in… 😉 Seriously, though, you might try reverting your save?
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Undo_the_last_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...

hey so i’ve been looking for a solution for a week, i’ve asked reddit i’ve watched many youtube videos, but i got the game a week ago on steam and it doesn’t launch and i was hoping one of you could help bc someone referred me here, i just wanna play the game but it says launching stardew valley and then it just goes away and doesn’t launch, i have reinstalled .net and xna, uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times but it seems like i’m missing files or something cause whenever i type %appdata%/stardewvalley nothing comes up, and when i search for certain folders it just won’t show up, it almost seems like the download is broken and doesn’t get all of the files, if someone could please help

#

i have 8gb of ram on my desktop and i have plenty of storage, my pc is pretty strong ig so that’s not the issue and i’ve worked through the troubleshooting page exept 3. because i can’t find the startup_prefrences folder and i think that could be an issue

royal dune
#

and i don’t have the game file common_reddst or something

#

can anyone help

tribal nacelle
#

I'm pretty much the only regular here, sometimes I'm away. Can you try booting in safe mode for me?

clear peak
#

Is anybody here familiar with an issue regarding crab pots not attributing catches to farmhands?

#

I play with my partner & she's unable to catch all the fish because all the crab pot catches seem to be listed as mine

willow elm
#

Yeah. Have her pick up the crab pots and place them.

clear peak
#

She has done that. I've not made or placed any crab pots

willow elm
#

Oh that's odd then. And she's the one collecting from them too?

clear peak
#

Yup. At first I thought it was a problem using Automate mod so we've tried disabling that. In a previous game where I was using Trapper & Luremaster, I even re-specced to avoid that complicating things. Still didn't make a difference.

willow elm
#

I'll continue there

royal dune
#

minevera what do you mean by booting in safe mode, and how can i do that

ornate idol
#

I'm pretty much the only regular here, sometimes I'm away. Can you try booting in safe mode for me?
I'm trying my best to easy some of your work load Minerva, but I'm not very helpful

tribal nacelle
#

Nah, it's fine, I like helping here. I keep joking at CA to make me official 😛

ornate idol
#

Hmmm
CA MAKE MINERVA OFFICIAL

royal dune
#

i’m in safe mode

#

what do i do now @tribal nacelle

tribal nacelle
#

Try to run the game from the folder, not Steam @royal dune

royal dune
#

so go to the folder and not the desktop right, ok

tribal nacelle
#

Yep

#

Steam won't run in safe mode, so this is a test to see if it's something interfering or actually the game

royal dune
#

ok i opened it through the folder it’s in and it’s doing the same thing

tribal nacelle
#

Hmm, okay. Try this next then

#

!installforlog xAxis34#7995

mighty kettleBOT
#

@royal dune Try this:

  1. Install SMAPI: https://smapi.io/.
  2. Run the game through SMAPI.
  3. Upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log.
  4. Share the log link here.

(You can remove SMAPI later, we're just using it to see what the problem is.)

royal dune
#

ok

#

so what do i put for the file directory that conains stardew

tribal nacelle
#

The installer should automatically find it and give you the line to put into Steam

royal dune
#

the text says "oops could not find the game automatically"

tribal nacelle
#

Hmm. Can you screenshot your game folder, path included please?

royal dune
#

ok

tribal nacelle
#

Okay, that looks fine. If you click the address bar, you can copy the path for the installer. I suspect that's not gonna work though

royal dune
#

adress bar?

tribal nacelle
#

Just like the one on your browser - the "this PC" etc up near the top

royal dune
#

ok

#

it doesnt seem to be working

#

wait i got it to work

#

so i need to press 1 to install right?

hidden quiver
#

yep!

royal dune
#

ok

#

but how do i launch it through sampi

hidden quiver
#

If you're still in safemode, though, just wait for Minerva to come back-she knows a ton more about this than I do and might want you to do something different. I believe she usually works during this time of day, so it may be a little bit.

royal dune
#

ok

#

here is what happens when i launch with sampi

tribal nacelle
#

Okay, that's what I expected. Couple things - reinstall XNA again, restarting if it doesn't want to go. What antivirus do you have? And do you have anything like Afterburner or Rivatuner installed?

royal dune
#

i havent intsalleda an intavirus that im aware of so i just have the default win 10 anti virus and i dont have afterburner or stuff like that

#

ok, ive tried reinstlling before and ill try again

tribal nacelle
#

Sometimes it takes several tries, but we don't know why. But that's what the problem is - XNA isn't running/installed. Thankfully not the other issues that are more complicated

royal dune
#

yeah its saying the same thing still ill try again

#

is this a problem with stardew too bc i can play other games?

#

yeah ive unistalled and reinstalled multiple times now and it still shows the same problem

tribal nacelle
#

Hmm. And SDV (as well as a couple other games) uses an older game engine. It normally installs with first launch, but sometimes it fails. I'll need to do some more digging in my records when I get home tonight. You are trying to install the one linked on the wiki, right?

royal dune
#

no i used the microsoft website

#

ill use the wiki

#

and ok

tribal nacelle
#

Yeah, it needs to be a certain one. The one linked on the wiki is from the Microsoft site, but there's different versions

royal dune
#

yeah

#

do you know wich version it needs to be?

tribal nacelle
#

The one linked from the wiki is the one you need

#

!reinstalldeps

mighty kettleBOT
royal dune
#

ok

#

yeah its the same one i was getting and its doing the same thing

tribal nacelle
#

Is it successfully installing or....?

#

And did you do .net too?

royal dune
#

its succesfully installing

#

but its just showing the same xna issue when i try to launch

#

ive done .net before but ill try again too

tribal nacelle
#

Hmmm. Yeah, I'm gonna need to do some research tonight

royal dune
#

ok

#

yeah when i get .net it says its already installed

For the past two hours I have been trying to install mods onto my computer, but it keeps on showing an error message of “SMAPI 3.6.1 installer could not be added to your game because it contains files, but none of them are manifest.json” and I’ve gone thru the troubleshooting on the wiki page, but it hasn’t worked

#

ok so i posted on #stardew-valley that after going to bed, my game crashed and after i opened the game again to see the file was gone

#

i went into the saves files and its still there but not ingame

willow elm
#

If the problem was that the crash while saving messed up the file, that should fix it.
You'll lose a day of in-game progress, but otherwise no ill effects I hope

upper thunder
#

i hope it doesnt mess up events cause i had proposed to seb that day

willow elm
#

You will probably have to propose again, but it should work ok.

#

Undoing the last save simply goes back a day to before that all happened

upper thunder
#

aight ive done the instruction on the wiki il see if it worked

#

i dont want to restart if it doesnt work cause this was my luckiest game so far since i had gotten a prismatic shard in the first summer and another in winter

willow elm
#

Oh wow. I hope it works

upper thunder
#

its not showing up

willow elm
#

Oh dear :c
Okay, can you find the backup folder you saved and send the file here? I'll take a look

upper thunder
#

wait i fixed it

willow elm
#

😮

upper thunder
#

i done the wiki instructions again and it just showed up so im glad

willow elm
#

Oh thank goodness 😅

#

I'm glad you were on PC and not console!

upper thunder
#

i had a miniature heart attack there

#

yeah good thing it wasnt console

#

yeah il have to propose again but atleast thats easier than begining again

#

aight thanks for the help

Hello! Does anyone else have lag issues with playing the co-op farm with 4 ppl? I haven't dealt with this before but its really lagging and causing issues with our gameplay. Also we're all playing on xbox ones & xbox one x.

willow elm
#

The lag is probably from one of the players having a slow connection. I don't know that there's much you can do to fix it besides figuring out the source of the slow connection speed and fixing that. (e.g. upgrading internet service or switching networks)

#

You can first try having only some players connect at a time and see which players have the laggy connection

#

Then it's up to them to see what they can do about it, I think

#

Are you playing with people very far away? (e.g. around the world versus same continent may make a difference for lag)

hushed brook
#

Okay cool, thanks! We normally play with 3 ppl who are spread out geographically and haven't had any issues, but my hubs who hasn't played on the farm in a while has been playing with us tonight and its been lagging real bad.

livid ledge
#

Does anyone else have an issue where the icons for the mini jukebox, mini fridge, and workbench don't show up? It's just a blank slot/space aside from the description and being able to use it.
I just can't see them.
Did a fresh install and reinstall. Might have to go through each mod if they could be causing it.

Hmm! Interesting to have this channel's category changed. Hopefully it will be less conflated with modding, now.

(Though I think there will still be lots of people coming here who are using mods until it gets renamed or under a category that specifically says "no mods" 🤦)

median crypt
#

(That will probably always happen no matter what :P "oh I saw it had modding in the name and didn't see the 'no' ...")

sinful sparrow
#

Hopefully it will be less conflated with modding, now.
Hopefully! We'll definitely be keeping an eye on how effective the channel move is

willow elm
#

I still think that naming it game-support-no-mods would at least deter all but the most very dense of possible users, lol

#

Or at least give the satisfaction of watching people 🤦 after the category name is pointed out 🙃

median crypt
#

(Although people are technically able to get help with mods if they need help in another language.)

willow elm
median crypt
willow elm
#

I guess this is one of the only channels allowing it, yeah...

median crypt
#

This channel is meant for support though, so I'd message Bouncer for further discussion.

willow elm
#

Okay, hear me out
I can't quite envision a super-clear distinction between them, but what if we had #archived-modded-support and also #mod-support?
The former being more for discussion, recommendations, and the latter being specifically for people with problems installing or bugs

#

Oh, okie.

#

I'll copy that idea to bouncer

#

hi all!
so i played a long time ago, and i remember chatting with someone who was in the car, and i gave him something from a rabbit i had, and i got an item that let me see secrets or something? i dont really remember

#

but now when i press here, no one is there

#

anyone knows what was it?

#

(this is me replaying the game)

willow elm
#

It shows up in your wallet

#

It's a "special charm" that gives you a permanent luck bonus. But it's not an actual item you can hold in inventory or wear.

sinful sparrow
#

You'll have to get a certain secret note (||#20||) before you can do that

warm wing
#

ohhhhh

#

and how can i get secrets notes?

#

i remember getting those

#

but now on second play i dont

#

i dont remember what i did to have that

oh sorry sweat1

hi is stardew valley 1.5 coming anytime soon ?

hexed apex
#

is there anyway of changing the games overall volume? the menu is a lot louder than i like to have it and it doesnt look like theres a way to, only when you're playing in a save. maybe through starting preferences or something?

willow elm
#

You might be able to adjust through your computer, by setting a limit on the volume from stardew valley program itself

hexed apex
#

ooh right, ofc. thank you SDVpufferheart

#

yeah, i already have that one off, but i have my computer audio settings set up a lol weird cause of calling so clicking on the menus is deafening lmao

anyway, fixing it on my actual computer did exactly what i needed haha

hi is stardew valley 1.5 coming anytime soon ?

@Eleanor#7913

I searched it up and it wasn’t in the list of errors on the PS4 website, I’ll email playstation about it

willow elm
#

@white schooner I found one person who said they fixed it.
(Are you playing from two PS4 systems on the same network?)
This is what they said

So I figured it out. The PS4s need to be on the same router. Not "Guest" or "5Ghz" the SSID has to be the same thing

I think it's a Steam issue. I remember having this problem a long time ago and having to end a task or something.

#

Very possible. I'm sorry, I'm not the normal person who's in here and I don't play multiplayer, so the guides on the net are what I know to point you to. There may be someone on in a bit who can answer specifics a little better. If it is a Steam issue, maybe restarting Steam or the computer itself would work.

Anyway, MorrisTod is an SVE character so your error is definitely a mod problem. It's probably still most appropriate for #archived-modded-support channel
@willow elm Oh so that's where "MorrisTod" comes from. For some reason the UI Info mod refers to him under that name when it's his birthday. I assumed whoever's responsible for that one just made an odd typo.

gritty tusk
#

the distinction isn't made between whether the issue is from a mod or not. if you have mods, you're immediately directed to the using-mods chat. even if it doesn't seem to be mod-related issues.

[he says, 10 hours after the conversation ended.]
man it's quiet in here today.

(it was a relevant question because they had removed all mods and were playing vanilla. Normally if you can reproduce an issue in vanilla it does belong here. But issues from removing mods are an exception to that)

Hewwo. I cant seem to get the game to run. I have reinstalled it about 4-5 times and tried to launch it from steam, the file and the chicken icon but none of thatwl works

That’s the one I lost @modest eagle

And it’s not there when I look

willow elm
#

You can't get a replacement slingshot in vanilla if you lose it. Only mods (or save editing maybe) can help you with that.

vale bloom
#

that's inconvenient

willow elm
#

It is :( At least the slingshot is pretty meh though, most people never use it anyway. So you're not missing out on too much imo

ornate idol
#

Slingshots are no longer good anyways so dont sweat it

willow elm

I guess you could temporarily invite a friend to multiplayer on your save and get them to grab the slingshot and use that one

Windows 10, Steam version of the game. Game occasionally freezes and then crashes (on average, 1 to 2 times per in-game season), causing me to lose progress of the unsaved, current in-game day. What can I look into in order to troubleshoot/debug this issue?

#

any mods?

true river
#

No

#

... Does the game generate debug info / logs / crash reports??

tribal nacelle
#

You can try this

#

!installforlog @true river

mighty kettleBOT
#

@true river Try this:

  1. Install SMAPI: https://smapi.io/.
  2. Run the game through SMAPI.
  3. Upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log.
  4. Share the log link here.

(You can remove SMAPI later, we're just using it to see what the problem is.)

how do u catch the fish when u see a exclamation mark?

i am not a new farmer i just forgot

cause i haven't play this for awhile

Even if you are not a new farmer, it's a good question for that channel. Anyone can chat there.

#

Make sure you click right away as soon as the exclamation mark appears. If you're too slow you'll miss it

it won't let me though

like i am clicking my mouse but it's not doing anything

Hi, I'm not really sure if this is the right place to ask but I'm trying to play with my friends online and there is a lot of lag for everyone. We use mods, so I guess my question is: do mods cause considerable lag in the game? Or is the lag just a base game thing that can't be avoided?

Sorry it's fine
Just go there
@hexed apex

Oh no I read the channel topics. I was wondering if lag just happens a lot in multiplayer mode and if it's unavoidable.

#

Excuse me, i have problem connecting multiplayer mode. I don't use any mods. At first we didn't use hamachi and its really hard connect to my host because it always says "connection failed" except a random times i don't know why (connecting feels like a jackpot to me at this time). After i tried hamachi, i can connect seamlessly. But after my host moved to a farther province (still in one country), i can't connect anymore. I did tried to diagnose in hamachi and it says OK. I ping my host via hamachi IP and it shows 500-ish ms which i see it fine because when we connected before using hamachi my ping is 500-ish too in Stardew Valley.

Any help is appreciated, i don't think going to a different province is the issue because i see in #multiplayer-lfg-old seems doesn't have to be in same country.

ornate idol
#

Hamachi?

wintry knoll
#

Yes, to be more precise, LogMeIn Hamachi (https://www.vpn.net/)

It's a tools to make local network although we're far away.

#

I did tried without using Hamachi right now but still no hope

#

Oh
I can't be of help here
A. I don't know multiplayer
B. I wouldent be able to decern if it's a Stardew problem or a vpn problem

Hello everyone! I'm in need of some help so here's my situation: I once used SMAPI to play with mods on SDV, then after a while I uninstalled the game and SMAPI. Now I'm trying to play the game once again without mods but the thing is is that steam didn't create an executable file for me to play on/with. I've tried to verify the files through steam but an .exe file still hasn't been created so I can't play the game. Is there any way I can obtain the .exe file ?

ornate idol
true river
#

No, there are only mods that came with SMAPI; it's otherwise vanilla. The crash also happens without SMAPI, and the reason why SMAPI is there at all is to obtain a crash log.

ornate idol

Doesn't matter

I think so Atleast

Okay, game crash, got log. (... It doesn't help that the log has Chinese in it...)
https://smapi.io/log/a0a6539694bd47478e30307d48d6f63d
(The Chinese of the first line of the error message reads: "Trying to read or write to protected memory. This usually indicates that other memory is broken.")
Despite SMAPI being installed, the game only ran with the two mods that came with SMAPI (namely save backup and console commands). The crash also happens without SMAPI, and the reason why I installed SMAPI at all is to obtain a crash log.

hidden quiver
#

@true river you seem like you know what you're doing so maybe you've already tried all this and maybe it won't be helpful because your issue happens randomly and isn't reproducible on command, but there is a Steam troubleshooting guide-maybe one of these steps will be the one you need: https://steamcommunity.com/app/413150/discussions/0/142261352650065356/

Is your game doing one of the following? Crashing on launch? Game not starting at all? Says it is running in Steam, but isn't? If it is, then please read the directions below to get started. Don't worry, there are some easy fixes for these problems. This instructional was mean...

Ah, sigh, didn't try these but looks like some extreme courses of action. Gotta try when I get more time tho I'm very unsure about that part about installing extra stuff (time consuming and yet unlikely - I mean, VERY unlikely - that it will solve the issue)

Fair enough. Minerva is usually the guru here and may have something for you if she sees your post later-don't give up hope yet!!

Excuse me, i have problem connecting multiplayer mode. I don't use any mods. At first we didn't use hamachi and its really hard connect to my host because it always says "connection failed" except a random times i don't know why (connecting feels like a jackpot to me at this time). After i tried hamachi, i can connect seamlessly. But after my host moved to a farther province (still in one country), i can't connect anymore. I did tried to diagnose in hamachi and it says OK. I ping my host via hamachi IP and it shows 500-ish ms which i see it fine because when we connected before using hamachi my ping is 500-ish too in Stardew Valley.

Any help is appreciated, i don't think going to a different province is the issue because i see in #multiplayer-lfg-old seems doesn't have to be in same country.
Okay, after further diagnosing i think it's my windows update fault so that hamachi didn't work properly somehow (due to some of its driver failed). I try to reinstall (which is a bit tricky for hamachi bad uninstaller) and see if its work.

#

Anyway although it's hamachi problem before, i still have issue that somehow I can't connect to my host without hamachi or anything else. It need trying for 1-2 hours using different method and spam invite until randomly you can pick farmhand. Both connection are good (we're calling through LINE messenger, did spam chatting on Steam, and when we're connected through hamachi it was 500 ms ping which is fine because when we did connected without hamachi it's the same ping). We're using the same ISP. We did follow the troubleshooting step (i forgot the link, it's on wiki) except the extreme method like reinstalling and such because my host didn't like it (which we decided to try Hamachi instead).

@true river read or write memory issues is usually anti-virus or permissions issues. Can you try loading the game in safe mode?

true river
#

Safe mode, as in I need to reboot my computer and select safe mode?

tribal nacelle
#

Yep

ornate idol
#

Yay
Minerva can finally help

#

Minerva there 2 mot people btw

true river
#

... ... ... ... ... probably next time. Also the crash is random so it'd be hard to determine things even if I try.

tribal nacelle
#

Yeah, random ones like this are hard to track down

#

What antivirus do you have?

ornate idol
#

@ lord peepee#0073
I don't even know what this person wants
@ DaikaNyan#1296
And this person has a problem with SDV but it may be a vpn

tribal nacelle
#

(I'm in and out Cake, work is exhausting right now)

true river
#

On the other hand - if we determined that it doesn't crash in safe mode (which is impossible to make sure of), I don't think I want to keep my computer in safe mode whenever I want to play this game

#

... As for antivirus, just Windows Defender, nothing else

ornate idol
#

(I'm in and out Cake, work is exhausting right now)
Oh, feel better
Sorry to hear that, get some good rest when you can

tribal nacelle
#

It's just to see if it's something on the pc interfering! Another diagnostic step

#

Hmm

#

(Yeah, that's why I've been radio silent)

#

@hexed apex make sure your launch options are blank

hexed apex
#

My launch options are blank, too. I'm following the steps on the guide and i've even uninstalled and reinstalled the game but nothing seems to be working

Try the steps here @wintry knoll and see if any of them help. Unfortunately connection issues are a pain and hard to track down

Yea it won't launch

#

I downloaded them and it works now, thank you so much ❤️ !

tribal nacelle
#

No problem :)

#

In your case, the other steps are more important, but it wouldn't hurt. It's very likely an issue with one of your connections then; have you tried changing who is hosting?

my friend and I have family share on but she plays with mods and I don't, she accidentally launched my save while she had her mods on and now the save won't launch
please help, I worked really hard on this save and I really don't want it to be gone

hidden quiver
#

@molten phoenix did she catch her mistake before she saved your file?

#

or did she sleep on it

#

There are probably fixes for both, don't worry! But why don't we move this over to #archived-modded-support since there are a lot of people who are used to troubleshooting mod issues over there (and this probably counts as that). Can you copy your original post and drop it in that channel please?

I'll ask her, one sec

yes of course

level 2 of my south mine doesn't show rocks, just monsters, what do i do?

tribal nacelle
#

South mine? Can you show an example? But infested levels are normal in the mines, that's not a bug if it's the main mine or the Skull Cavern

#

Did you get a message about "this area is overrun with monsters" or "this area is infested"?

#

If so, your ladder down will appear once you beat all the monsters on the level

hexed apex

#

Hmm. Any mods?

Hmm. Any mods?
@tribal nacelle no

It's possibly something interfering if you went through the guide chloe. What antivirus do you have?

And are you getting an error message?

Besides the connection one

hexed apex
#

it's alright. i'll try tomorrow then if it doesn't work i'll come back.

Sounds good. Let me know if it's still not working and we can try some things

Did you plug it in mid game?

yeah

#

game doesn't like that?

tribal nacelle
#

Yeah, can't do that. Lucky it didn't crash

lapis cypress
#

ah fuck .-.

#

does this bug happen a lot?

tribal nacelle
#

Not a bug, it's the framework the game is built on. Can't handle switching audio devices while the game is running. You can close the game and relaunch with the headphones plugged in though and it'll route the audio to them

lapis cypress
#

alrighty tyy

tribal nacelle
#

No problem!

cyan cloud
#

On osx, if you switch between a laptop monitor and another monitor (such as when you dock your laptop), Stardew Valley does not resize. So if you go from something bigger to something smaller, such as when you unplug from a dock, it's very difficult to even just quit out.

tribal nacelle
#

Yes, that's also a limitation of XNA/Mono. I suggest changing the resolution before you try and switch devices

I'm using smapi right now with sdv on Android - I never bothered playing on my android without smapi+mods - can someone tell me if toolbar not wrapping around the max amount of items on the top of inventory is because of a mod or if that's the way the game is even without smapi? Thanks in advance.

Also the awnser is no. Same thing happens in vanilla

Hey guys so I am trying to run SDV on Ubuntu 16.04 32bit 2gb ram and it is painfully to run

#

But it runs fabulously on the windows install on the same computer

#

What might be the issue here?

#

Is the Mono interpretation so slow?

#

Okay, so I went to the install folder, removed all of the pre included mono files and ran it with my install of mono

#

And the game took a long time to start up but after starting it is running smoothly

#

I am not getting what is causing the slugy startup

true river
hexed apex
#

Well the log does not tell much about the crash

#

huh, that is weird-the log doesn't even think it crashed.

#

Hi! Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question BUT can I play the same saved game on my switch and PC?

willow elm
#

Here works! Unfortunately the answer is no (or if you can, it's very difficult and involves many steps and a jailbroken switch)

#

Mobile and PC (all platforms) can transfer save files between them, but consoles are out of luck.

burnt bloom
#

Aw dang ok thanks! Can I play multiplayer on my switch with a friend who uses a PC? Sorry I have already looked this up I am just not a seasoned gamer so i dont understand all the lingo

willow elm
#

No, there's no cross-play for stardew unfortunately. Windows/Mac/Linux/Steam/GOG can all play multiplayer together, but console players can only play with people on the same console as them.

burnt bloom
#

Dang it. That sucks! Thanks

willow elm
#

Yeah :c

true river
#

Hmm. That's not in safe mode @true river ?
@tribal nacelle Didn't do safemode yet

true river
#

Steam doesn't run in safemode. Will try running the game without Steam...

verbal garnet
#

Ok

willow elm
#

Ok so we need to check if the save file (or its backup) still exists on your computer somewhere.

verbal garnet
#

Mk

willow elm
#

Do you have more than one stardew save game?

verbal garnet
#

I created one after i just lost that one

#

Wait

#

i found the files for the old character

#

that i lost

willow elm
#

Excellent! That means we can probably salvage it.

verbal garnet
#

Ok

#

Do i exit the game?

willow elm
#

yeah exit for now

verbal garnet
#

Ok

willow elm
#

So: your first step, as a precaution: make a copy the entire folder for the old character (e.g. PlayerName_231783261 or whatever), and save this copy somewhere else safe on your computer
(Desktop, Documents... anywhere is fine just not in the save folder lol)

#

That will be your backup, just in case. We're not doing anything crazy but you should always make a backup before messing with save files

verbal garnet
#

Ok

#

done

willow elm
#

Next step:
You're going to go inside the original PlayerName_231783261 folder. You should see at least 4 files. E.g.
PlayerName_231783261
PlayerName_231783261_old
SaveGameInfo
SaveGameInfo_old

#

Delete the two files that don't end in _old
And then rename the two other files to remove the _old at the end.

verbal garnet
#

The ones that end in STARDEWVALLEYSAVETMP?

#

do i delete those

willow elm
#

oooh! waaait

#

Those ones might be the ones you want actually

#

Without changing any file names, can you share a screenshot?

verbal garnet
#

Dont mind my real name in the corner

willow elm
#

oh perfect! Even better
Hopefully you won't even lose any progress (fingers crossed)
(the other method would have lost a day or two in-game)

#

Just rename those two folders then, to remove the _STARDEWVALLEYSAVETMP

verbal garnet
#

Like that?

willow elm
#

Yup! That should (hopefully!) be all you need to do. Try running the game!

verbal garnet
#

YES

Only happens in dark scenes

#

In the morning, I don't have any sort of flicker

#

Using a 2560x1440p monitor hooked up to my laptop using HDMI

#

I have ordered a DisplayPort cable which is coming in today, so I can make use of FreeSync on the monitor, maybe that will fix this? Not sure.

#

One thing to note is that I don't see similar flickering in dark scenes in other games

true river
#

... ... .. Played a while in safe mode, no crashes yet but I needed to get out of safe mode for other things, then I loaded the game outside of safe mode... and another crash without a traceback. What the hell is with those crashes without a traceback!?

#

And the place where I crashed has a lot of gold ore!

willow elm
#

The crashes without records in the log are the worst. I imagine they happen whenever something goes wrong at a level not tracked or accounted for by smapi and/or the game :c

#

Are you using an anti-viruses?

#

if no than I can't help

And they so often remain a mystery...

C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Nerve Center\bin\x86. Alongside with it is a familiar logo. That is apparently a program that comes with my laptop. Anyways actually it's actually useless, I might as well try to figure out how to remove it from my laptop...

tribal nacelle
#

Could be the issue yeah. I'm researching some of the others real quick, but once again it's nearly time for me to head off XD (work schedule this week is shit)

true river
#

It's um, Saturday, isn't it?

#

Gotta reboot laptop to completely remove it. Be back in a while

tribal nacelle
#

Friday night for me

cold glacier
#

Good luck, and also you need sleep-

tribal nacelle
#

Yeah, it's not quite time for me to go to sleep, but I have a few other things to wrap up still

cold glacier
#

Hopefully next week is a bit more lax

tribal nacelle
#

Hopefully. Hell weekend first though 😩 670, the VPN may be an issue too, especially since safe mode disables it. That would be my next check out of that list. If that's not it, might have to do some further digging. But none of the immediate culprits are visible aside from the game recorder thing

true river
#

Game recorder is gone, and I'm back

#

The VPN is required to use Discord, and almost required to use Stardew Valley Wiki (without the VPN, Cloudflare - or whatever company that is, I can't remember - checks me for potential DDoS attacks for EVERY SINGLE page request, and ask me to do a Captcha that is VERY SLOW TO LOAD)

tribal nacelle
#

Probably cloudflare yeah. And understandable, but XNA is very touchy with stuff intercepting it

#

(Afterburner is a huge culprit for game crashes, as are other graphics/performance apps for example)

true river
#

As for safe mode, it completely disables INTERNET CONNECTION altogether (even the "safe mode with internet"; all network devices/connections/whatever appears to be unplugged in the settings screen)

#

Afterburner?

#

XNA?

tribal nacelle
#

A graphics/performance enhancing app very common to gaming PCs. XNA is the framework the game is built on

true river
#

... Afterburner is... not in my task manager?

tribal nacelle
#

It's not, I said "for example"

true river
#

Or you mean afterburner is a type of apps, not a particular one?

#

urgh, well

tribal nacelle
#

That's why the game recorder app jumps out, anything that tries to grab the game window like that is highly suspicious for crashing it

#

Because of how touchy XNA is

#

(which, it's an older framework, so often the issues come from the way newer apps do things)

true river
#

Older, as in how old, I wonder?

tribal nacelle
true river
#

Ah, another reason to keep VPN there. It's required to use Wikipedia.

#

Oh. That's... quite old.

tribal nacelle
#

You don't have to turn it off permanently, this is all testing stuff. I understand you may need it to access some sites (seeing as your OS is in Chinese, I'm guessing you have to XD)

true river
#

Yup.

tribal nacelle
#

Yep. Game came out in '16, was in dev for at least 4 years prior

shell rock
#

OKay

true river
#

Okay, I'll be turning off VPN on my laptop. I'll connect to Discord on my phone

shell rock
#

Just found what I guess could be considered a bug.

tribal nacelle
#

Anyway, that's your next few things to test. You can go down the list and anything that isn't a microsoft service or needed for your machine (drivers, etc), try disabling it temporarily. GeForce can be a little touchy on some machines (the NVidia app), so maybe try that too

shell rock
#

Pausing (/pause) the game during co-op while doing Abigail's 2-heart (?) event made it pause, but kind of only just for me as you can see in the screenshot.

tribal nacelle
#

Hmm, interesting.

This may or may not be an issue with other cutscenes.

I'm guessing it's an issue with the fact that it's a cutscene in a mini-game. Haven't seen that reported, but go ahead and post it

  • moved the carpet that used to be near where the bed was
  • opened the fridge, and crash

Hmm. You've done a content reset, right?

When I opened the game again, opening the fridge does not crash

what is a content reset
