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 :)

tribal nacelle Aug 1, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

That

true river Aug 1, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

I have not modified any game content other than installing the API.

tribal nacelle Aug 1, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

Yes, but sometimes it corrupts

true river Aug 1, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

Okay let me try.

#

Do I need to re-install the API after that?

tribal nacelle Aug 1, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

I'm wondering if this is repeatable too. And nope, not on Windows

true river Aug 1, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

wait no, no, no, that was not the fridge crash, I remembered wrong

#

The fridge crash gave no traceback

#

I opened the game again, watered all my crops, and - I forgot what I was doing when it crashed again

tribal nacelle Aug 1, 2020, 10:40 AM

#

Looks like you went into the coop, left to the CC, and then came back?

📎 Screenshot_20200801-053955.png

true river Aug 1, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

... Ah, if I went to the CC... then I must have purchased the 25000 bundle, got the whatever-machine-that-is (that name isn't a word in the English language right? Anyways I can't remember the name, I just know it dupes gems), ... walked back to farm, placed that machine down, dumped a diamond in, and started to wonder what to do next.

#

~~I wonder if SMAPI could possibly log other things too, for I don't always remember what I do in the game...~~

tribal nacelle Aug 1, 2020, 10:52 AM

#

Crystalarium is the machine XD and it logs quite a bit, especially in verbose mode

#

Hmm

true river Aug 1, 2020, 10:53 AM

#

... So there is a mode that logs more than what I have?

ancient falcon Aug 1, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

So I completed the Community Center on the 28th of spring, year 2, and its appearance updated correctly. On day 1 of summer I got the cutscene, Morris bolted, and everything got restored, but on Summer 2 the outside of the CC had reverted to its run down look, Joja was back, and both were empty and when npcs are "inside" they're invisible.

#

the only mods I have besides SDVE are the horse whistle and the time stop mod

#

and their dependencies, of course

#

Hmm

#

Restarting my game seems to have fixed it

#

Disregard

ancient falcon Aug 1, 2020, 11:03 AM

Sorry

tribal nacelle Aug 1, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

@true river there is, but it's not really very good for normal gameplay testing . If you can get a consistently reproducible crash then we can probably use it

true river Aug 1, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

Yeah, you are perfectly understood, and it is almost vital to get a glitch reproducible before any reasonable hope of fixing. - But this one is REALLY RANDOM :-/

tribal nacelle Aug 1, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

I know. How did disabling programs go?

true river Aug 1, 2020, 11:10 AM

#

Not sure, but it lasted longer than I expected... until the fridge crash. After the fridge crash it took less than one in-game day to get another crash (the one with a traceback). All things considered, I wouldn't call that a success.

#

@true river there is, but it's not really very good for normal gameplay testing . If you can get a consistently reproducible crash then we can probably use it
@tribal nacelle Ahh, urgh, can I get that very verbose debug output anyways?

Just... great. Great. GrEaT. Can I just at least finish an in-game day? (no trace back this time. I tabbed out to check wiki, and came back to crash the game.)https://smapi.io/log/fb9dfe05d5a048b7abba1a9f04171f42

Do you usually tab out? Windowed or fullscreen mode?

true river Aug 1, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

Windowed

#

I tab out a lot usually

#

to check wiki, discord, whatnot

#

or even leave the game there, paused, for a long time

true river Aug 1, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

Crash, triggering action was going down a ladder in the mines (I got an iridium ore that run!!), no traceback, error address 7C62A480

#

Hi idk if anyone has had this issue

#

but playing co-op earlier, and my friend got booted out of the game and then when she tries joining again

#

the game jsut??? crashes???

hexed apex Aug 2, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

no mods?

median brook Aug 2, 2020, 6:59 AM

median brook Aug 2, 2020, 7:50 AM

#

thenks!!

true river Aug 2, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

deep breath in
Same traceback-less crash triggered by literally nothing (I opened inventory, tabbed out to check wiki, and while I was on the wiki, game disappeared from task bar). Exception address 50A0A480.

#

All the stardew valley crashes, according to Event Viewer, has the exception at some address that ends with A480. ...

#

I checked other sections of the event viewer and apparently the issue seems to be in XAudio2_6.dll. I'm trying some checks and fixes regarding that dll that I can find on Google...

true river Aug 2, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

what is at offset 0x3a480??

true river Aug 2, 2020, 11:58 AM

#

Okay, I found out that instead of XNA framework "4.0", I had "4.0 Refresh". I went and installed the 4.0 proper, and game still crashes, but at NvCameraWhitelisting32.dll (offset 0x2a480) instead of XAudio2_6.dll (offset 0x3a480). I might want to call that progress despite still crashing...
...
... but the two offsets (0x2a480 and 0x3a480) intrigues me. Both end with a480, and I don't know what in the world might be wrong with this...

#

Is it recommended and/or required that the game be installed on C drive? My game is on D drive but I think I have seen some source saying it should better be on the system drive. I don't quite believe that though.

ripe burrow Aug 2, 2020, 3:06 PM

#

I got the Switch version yesterday. Is there a reason the game audio is stuck in mono, and if so how can I change it?

true river Aug 2, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

As a last-ditch effort, I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, making sure that the game was installed in C drive. While it sure got more stable (rather than crashing every in-game day like it did before reinstalling, it went back to two crashes per season), and the crash went back to XAudio2_6 at 0x3A480

tribal nacelle Aug 2, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

Nah, C drive isn't a requirement, mine is on a different one too. I'll have to look into those error codes when I'm off, this is a long work weekend for me @true river

#

@ripe burrow I'll have to look into this for you as well

graceful sleet Aug 2, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

I still can’t get starsew valley to work

teal mulch Aug 2, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

anytime i open the game its just a white screen i can still hear the sound and click on things its just completely white does anyone know why this is?

willow elm Aug 2, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

@teal mulch as something to try, try pressing F12

teal mulch Aug 2, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

what did that do, also i got it working

hexed apex Aug 2, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

I'm having an issue where zooming out to anything that's not 100% is causing a slight blur on some parts of the screen

#

I see TONS of reddit posts about it but literally none of them have any replies

willow elm Aug 2, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

@hexed apex any mods?

hexed apex Aug 2, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

yes, but I don't think any of them affect zooming

willow elm Aug 2, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

@teal mulch haha I have no idea what it does, I've just seen it suggested for people who get the white screen

#

@hexed apex if you use any mods at all, the channel to go to is #archived-modded-support. If you post your log there someone may recognize which mod is doing it

hexed apex Aug 2, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

there is no log to diagnose an error

willow elm Aug 2, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

mighty kettleBOT Aug 2, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

hexed apex Aug 2, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

it's just something that happens

willow elm Aug 2, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

(post it to #archived-modded-support)
(Even if the log has no errors)

hexed apex Aug 2, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

i really doubt my dialogue and item sprite mods have anything to do with resolution / zooming issues

#

and i mentioned i see quite a few reddit posts about it and i doubt they all use mods

willow elm Aug 2, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

Even if they don't - this channel is for vanilla game support only. If you try running the game without smapi at all and still see the problem, you could post about it here.

#

And the details of how each mod works and affects the game can sometimes be unpredictable unless you're really familiar with the specific mods. It might not be a mod, but it very easily could be one that seems entirely unrelated.

hey does anyone know how to fix the problem of xbox controllers not doing anything

#

i'm on windows and i'm running it through steam

hexed apex Aug 2, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

alright, i have cleared my mods and uninstalled smapi, started a new save and still having it

#

at 75% zoom, the farmer is blurred in this picture for example

📎 Capture.png

#

but if i move around it fixes itself

📎 Capture2.PNG

willow elm Aug 2, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

Hmm, I see. Not sure what could be causing it. One other question though. Do you happen to use Natural Color - Reshade mod? (It's not a smapi mod, not in the Mods folder, so it doesn't run with it and might still be active if you have it)

hexed apex Aug 2, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

I do not

willow elm Aug 2, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

Okie. Can confirm you're in the right place with the issue here then. Hopefully someone comes by with an idea on what could be causing it!

hexed apex Aug 2, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

i appreciate your time

#

for the record, i play on 1920x1080, and changing fullscreen/windowed/borderless has no effect on the blur

quick plinth Aug 2, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

Literally on the 6th day. This is definitely not supposed to happend. You can't get these shrooms until lvl 40 in the mines and I am only at lvl 5.

📎 save_75.png

willow elm Aug 2, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

I think it's technically possible to get to level 40 that soon (just unlikely for most players) so I don't think it's really an error.

#

(oh wait, it's at level 81+. A lot less likely then)

#

Oh, but you can find them at the travelling cart though. So it's definitely possible to acquire a purple mushroom by day 5.

quick plinth Aug 2, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

Dang

#

I was really suprised but uhh thanks! <3

graceful sleet Aug 2, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

I know there is probably an answer here but I searched and tried everynthing that was pinned and prior recommended to me for over an hour and it still isn't working

#

The game will say running for a few seconds and then it will close any ideas?

hidden quiver Aug 2, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

!installforlog @graceful sleet

mighty kettleBOT Aug 2, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

@graceful sleet 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.)

hidden quiver Aug 2, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

SMAPI logs errors and can maybe give a little more insight into whatever your issue is. I don't know what it might be, never heard of it doing that before.

#

But if you get SMAPI in and manage to get an error log out of it, someone in here might see it and be able to figure out what that problem is

graceful sleet Aug 2, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

also i genuinely cannot find %appdata% in my files

hidden quiver Aug 2, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

You don't need to look for that in your files to install SMAPI

#

Are you stuck on that step where you get it into Steam?

graceful sleet Aug 2, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

So i log into steam and I have stardew valley in my library I paid for it

#

When I press play it says running for like 5 seconds then goes back to play

hidden quiver Aug 2, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

Yeah, you said-I have no idea what that error is.

Some common suggestions for troubleshooting Stardew are to 1. Try disabling your antivirus and 2. Try running the game in safe mode. If it runs fine with no antivirus, you know it's that. If it runs fine in safe mode, you know something on your computer is probably causing it and you can come here for more help narrowing it down. But installing SMAPI and getting a log is a fairly important step that can really help you out especially if it's not one of those two things (which is often the case), so that's a good place to start.

graceful sleet Aug 2, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

isnt SMAPI just for mods?

#

also I do not have an antivirus so it isnt that.

hidden quiver Aug 2, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

No, it is not. Check Governor's message links for more info, I've got to run!

#

The game still loads and plays, but mentions this crash.

peak osprey Aug 3, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

you do still need to go to #archived-modded-support with a full log, @vague pecan --even if it says it's a game error, "game" errors with SMAPI are often caused by mods

vague pecan Aug 3, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

I made sure this wasn't a mod error, something about StartupPreferences being mssing for the game folders.

peak osprey Aug 3, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

the error you pasted here is not the full error, can you at least post your full SMAPI log? that snippet on its own is not enough to diagnose what's going on

#

as a general rule, if you use any mods at all, the place to ask for help is #archived-modded-support even if you are 100% that it's not a mod issue

vague pecan Aug 3, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

I'll go there instead.

s@quick plinth You can get purple mushrooms from the mushroom cave so its not impossible

#

The mushroom cave?

#

If you are talking about the cave in the farm it takes 25k which is impossible on day 6

true river Aug 3, 2020, 3:52 AM

#

I tried an extended session in safe mode, and it was far more stable than not safe mode. Still I can't always play in safe mode (there is no steam, no internet, no audio in safe mode!), so better if a not-safe-mode fix can be found...

tribal nacelle Aug 3, 2020, 3:55 AM

That's definitely a problem. Sorry, out of my depth, but there are other people in here most days-you'll probably want to watch for Minerva in particular and bump your question if you see her active.

I believe the ID might be in the SaveGameInfo, but it's also the string of numbers after the name on the save file itself

... Game is unexpectedly stable today. Probably some changes did something, or probably it's just good luck? The last batch of changes that might or might not influence the game include:

changing compatibility settings (run in Windows 8 compatibility mode, run as admin)
not running the game from Steam (double clicked the exe directly)

Make sure it isn't muting itself in sound mixer on boot, some systems have a problem with that

chrome sandal Aug 4, 2020, 6:40 AM

if it's not with the xna audio stuff then maybe you muted it in your sound settings?

tribal nacelle Aug 4, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

Few things then - reboot the computer first and try it again. Try resetting the game files (instructions linked below). Try updating your audio drivers (you'll need to google how to find them on your computer and how to update them, there's so many different ones we can't realistically help with those). And if all of that fails, we can try to see if something is interfering with the game. Before that though, can you show a screenshot of the game's main menu?

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 :)

@tribal nacelle ... I did see this IME theory at times but it wasn't consistent, and I thought that wasn't actually the cause :-/

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

One way to find out, if you are able to change it to test

#

(besides the DirectX update that is)

true river Aug 5, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

Like I said, it was rather inconsistent, and sometimes even when I purposefully switch to Chinese IME, it stays just fine, and sometimes the game crashes when I'm still using English keyboard.

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

Hmm

#

Unfortunately that's about all I found when researching earlier. DirectX and non-English Windows modes :/

#

Sadly we don't get good error codes from many people

true river Aug 5, 2020, 12:27 AM

"non-English windows modes" makes it sound like my OS is not suitable for playing this game hm

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

We have a good amount of Chinese and Korean users, so I'm not sure if it's the specific mode or update build that's the issue

true river Aug 5, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

(Windows 10 Chinese Home Edition, with only Chinese available as its display language, and I don't know what other differences, if any, makes it a Chinese-specific edition)

#

Probably unrelated, but one day I was complaining about the crashes in a Chinese chat. One person asked, "Are you using Steam? Because I pirated the game and it doesn't crash"

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

....yeah, that's not a solution. Could try the GOG version, but I believe you've tried running it directly from the exe, correct?

true river Aug 5, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

Yes, tried running directly from the exe. After that more-stable-than-ever session (which eventually still crashes), there is another short-lived session, also directly clicking the exe. Also I really don't want to purchase another copy of the same game I already own...

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

~~owns five copies and has ordered two more~~ Fair enough. I would try the DirectX thing, and otherwise I can try and tag in someone with more programming knowledge who might be able to translate the error codes for us (the internet is maddeningly unhelpful with those sadly)

true river Aug 5, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

That would be... unhelpful.

#

The entire error code is just c0000005... and I believe if someone wants to dive deep into it, disassemblies (plus, for the better, but definitely not available at this point, source code) and memory dumps are definitely needed to debug the hell out of this

#

and a lot of knowledge and experience in debugging binaries too

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

There is actually a source code repository, though not available to the public. My last ditch call in is Pathos, who can do custom builds to try and trace down the crash when we've exhausted all other possibilities

#

And I truly mean exhausted everything else

true river Aug 5, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

~~speaking of, despite I can't possibly make sense out of it, is it possible to get a memory dump of the instant of the crash?~~

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

no clue ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

SMAPI can usually snag the crash errors for us, but sometimes it crashes too fast for it to even log

#

Hence the custom builds when we hit that point

true river Aug 5, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

I don't think devs will be happy to do things like release source codes or make custom builds just for one player's one crash

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

Nah, CA is aware of the repo, and access is restricted to it. I've even had to use a custom build for troubleshooting before

#

~~fucking grass that CTD'd the whole game~~

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 1:06 AM

tldr a single grass patch somehow got corrupted with a negative value, and when it was on screen, it would tank the framerate and then crash with no log. `twas a fun time figuring that one out and then trying to fix it

true river Aug 5, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

what do you mean by grass?

#

dxdiag was not able to detect any problems on its own

And whelp, there's that. @copper hollow think we might need a custom build over here. User670 has been experiencing random crashes mid game with no rhyme or reason, though safe mode does seem to keep it from happening. A few things in the task manager, disabling them did not help. No Afterburner, etc. Running Win 10 Chinese Home, Steam version. The only thing I've been able to find on the error codes is A) DirectX and B) the Chinese OS itself - DirectX right above us ^^ SMAPI caught one or two audio crashes, but never the same and most of the time there's nothing in the trace what so ever. I've exhausted my abilities

true river Aug 5, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

... Correction: game did not crash in safe mode so far.

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 1:15 AM

though safe mode does seem to keep it from happening

#

Safe mode stops the crashes, that's what I said

#

Hi Pathos

copper hollow Aug 5, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

Hi! I see two memory access violation crashes and three crashes without a logged error in those logs. A crash without an error usually means a critical exception (e.g. memory access violation), or something external shutting down the game.

#

(Reading back through the chat.)

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 1:17 AM

Yeah, that was my immediate thought. There was a recording app, we got rid of that, and iirc anti virus is Defender

ok so like i want to cut the grass thats causing all this lag (i was gonna let it grow and get a bunch of hay) my silos are full but i cant remove the hay from the dropper in the barn for no reason

(could it happen if two players scythed the same patch of grass simultaneously, the way that you can dupe machines etc. with simultaneous pickups in MP?)

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 1:36 AM

You can just cut the grass, if your silos are full you just won't get hay. Do you have fully upgraded barns?

dull spear Aug 5, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

i do have the fully upgraded barn

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 1:37 AM

That might be why you can't remove hay manually. Could always build another silo 😛

The piece in question

📎 unknown.png

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

(the next attempt crashed the log parser....62k kb file)

That error was logged 87,776 times. Pretty sure that's a new record.

I think Cat guessed right. You have a grass tuft with a negative size, which causes an underflow because the game checks if the value is over 4 (but it doesn't check if it's under a valid value).

This CSI: Stardew Valley is a pretty good show. Can't wait to see what happens next. 🍿
(lots of CSI puns followed)

So I've gone through every line of code in the game and open-source mods that references numberOfWeeds. It's possible for it to become slightly negative in some edge cases, but I don't see any case where it would get anywhere near -47. What we could do is undo the last save, run a test build that will log an error if it goes negative again so we can see how it happened (if it ever happens again), and resume playing. (If you don't mind repeating the last day you played.) (edited)
The climactic ending: dunno. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

MinervaException: Grass.numberOfWeeds at position was set to a value less than 0 or more than 9 (tried to change it from 0 to -44).
In the end it seemed to be exactly what Pathos mentioned - an edge case of the value of numberOfWeeds going negative for some reason during the casting to byte, which then under or overflowed into the invalid number and BOOM, crash. We still don't really know if it was a mod or the base game that caused the initial negative value, but the fix went into the base game XD

XD No problem. It was pretty hilarious in hindsight, especially the fact that I kept crashing the log parser. All because of one teeny tiny tuft of grass

I recently took over a world that my friend previously was the host of. I used a text editor to make myself the host which worked but it also changed my default house to the main farmhouse. Does anyone know if there's a way that a farmhand player could have their house set as the main farmhouse so that i can go back to my original house. I know its a weird question and idk if its possible

willow turret Aug 5, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Is there a pattern to finding out which mp cabin is selectable when joining a coop with more than 1 person?

#

So like, when you select a save, is there any way to know which cabin you'll get?

willow elm Aug 5, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

No, there's too much stuff in the game that is hard-coded to use farmhouse locations for the main player. @fervent rain

fervent rain Aug 5, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Okay thank you

willow elm Aug 5, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

@willow turret Hmm, I'm not sure. There's probably an order to it of some sort, but the easiest way to make sure would be to build 1 new cabin and add 1 new player at a time

willow turret Aug 5, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

That's what I was thinking

#

Probably going to test and see if building them in a specific order does anything

willow elm Aug 5, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

And if you're stuck with a cabin you don't like, the host can change a cabin's type either with a mod or with a quick save edit - and locations can be changed at the build menu of course.

tribal nacelle Aug 5, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

The maps specify certain spots as certain cabin numbers for the pre-built option. So it should follow the order of the paths markers, but you also don't get to pick your exterior that way so ymmv

Annnnnnnd another game crash (NvCameraWhitelisting32.dll). I have not switched to Chinese IME after rebooting this time, but when I opened task manager, the IME is there (ChsIME.exe). Task Manager doesn't seem to be able to terminate this process.

I was messing around with the tools that my computer has with the IME enabled, trying to get a crash...

This is from Visual Studio's debugger. It reads

true river Aug 6, 2020, 11:39 AM

#

Urgh, I can speak English fine. The issue is a different one, and it's possible that you don't know the whole story...
in short, Microsoft IME is suspected to cause Stardew Valley to crash A LOT. I just tried removing the IME, which hopefully would solve the crash, but at the cost of not being able to type Chinese.

#

And the following is technically off-topic, but I wonder if there are any websites that enables me to type Chinese. (Like, Google Translate has a web-based input system for many languages)

lapis topaz Aug 6, 2020, 11:40 AM

But why would disabling your chinese keyboard fix the IME issue?

true river Aug 6, 2020, 11:40 AM

IME, or Input Method Editor, is a software that lets you type languages like Chinese or Japanese

#

like you type nihao and get 你好

main storm Aug 6, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

you need mandarin correct?

lapis topaz Aug 6, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

wait
can you go to your settings and go to language and input tab (you're using windows right?)
go tweak with the second language input? I think you should be able to type in mandarin and english

true river Aug 6, 2020, 11:44 AM

#

Enabling the input method within Windows causes the Stardew Valley game to crash

#

that's why I'm asking for any websites that lets me type Chinese, which ensures that the game doesn't crash :-/

main storm Aug 6, 2020, 11:44 AM

#

i heard pinyin is good, or does it causes issues as well?

#

ah you need a SITE

true river Aug 6, 2020, 11:45 AM

Microsoft Pinyin causes the game to crash, yes. Not sure if any other similar softwares are safe

lapis topaz Aug 6, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

try cangjie? or speed cangjie?
or the numbers pad method (not sure what it's called in chinese)

true river Aug 6, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

(Or I can always do one of the two things, re-enable Chinese or use Google Translate)

#

Cangjie is... well, I don't know how to type in that. And being a input software, it's likely that it crashes the game as well.

lapis topaz Aug 6, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

use a VPN to get past the firewall mate?
there are free VPNs out there

true river Aug 6, 2020, 11:47 AM

Yes, and I am using a VPN right now in order to talk in Discord.

#

Well, never mind, I guess I'll just re-enable the language if I want to type

main storm Aug 6, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

well if ALL the softwares you used so far did not work maybe look into a different solution all together?

#

like downloading an onscreen key board

true river Aug 6, 2020, 11:49 AM

#

On-screen keyboards... 1. it's a Windows feature already, 2. it simulates keyboard key presses, but still doesn't negate the need of a input method.

lapis topaz Aug 6, 2020, 11:49 AM

#

maybe offer a translation of the error log for the dev?
I've got a Chinese keyboard on my laptop and nothing happnes

is it possible to enable voice to text input on your laptop as with smartphones

true river Aug 6, 2020, 11:51 AM

Hello, i have issue for "connecting failed". I did ask on here before and replied with the mphelp command from Governor, did all of it but none works. I did go on forum but it seems the issue is rare so that maybe it was our connection fault. I did search how to use it with hamachi (fyi my problem existed with and without hamachi) and i found that it always work when you create a new host game but not always on continuing existing game. I just want to ask how "good" our connection should be to play Stardew Valley (to load that existing game on farmhand)? (I expect answered by XXX ms ping or XX MBps download speed or anything, and i expect it just a guess based on experience).

Fyi my friend and I on separate island but same country, same ISP. Both of us vanilla.

I play Stardew on a laptop connected to a seperate monitor, which is the one that i use to do pretty much everything.
When trying to play on the laptop, with no monitor attached, the game is way too zoomed in, and I can't select anything
I'm using SMAPI, but I've launched the game without it and I still have the problem.
Is there a way to change resolution or make the game windowed without opening the game, or am I doing something wrong?

@spare heath we had someone else with this issue recently, you'll need to change the resolution before closing out, or run in windowed mode all the time

the game itself is no different between the two. It may make a small difference with how you launch the game when using mods, or how you get any future game updates, but otherwise

the installation is the same either way. I can go into more detail in #archived-modded-support , just to not get too off topic here

Is there a way to duplicate a save file on Switch? I'd like to use my current farm to play multiplayer with my S.O., but he messes things up on the farm on purpose just to annoy me so I still want my own save file.

prime solar Aug 9, 2020, 12:16 PM

#

Hello there! I have a problem with my co-op-host's save-files, them being blank.
Their OS: Windows 10
My OS: Fedora 32 (Workstation Edition)
Stardew: Version 1.4, Not modded.
Latest Backup: https://files.catbox.moe/5t7hbw.zip
Problem: Every file in the saves folder (yes, including the _old files) are blank.
The files still have about the same size as a working file, but the files are only filled with blank spaces. There is still a file from about a week ago functioning, but that would perhaps set my host and me back an entire season. A similar problem has occured before, but it was fixed through the troubleshooting-guide, by using the _old files.
What was tried already: The pc was restarted, Stardew Valley was restarted multiple times, Steam was run with admin-privileges. I checked for previous versions of the save-files through windows' in-built feature for doing so, but there are no previous versions available for the StardewValley- or Saves-folders.
The anti-virus software Avast only excludes StardewValley from its scans/guards now, after the problem persisted already.
Is there something that one can still do?
The worst-case scenario is using the file that us back three seasons, which I'd like to avoid, if possible.
Thank you very much.

I posted this under #archived-modded-support not realizing that there's this channel. So I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I noticed a graphics glitch. I made sure to run this with and without mods (including running SMAPI with 0 mods), and I found this:

#

📎 unknown.png

#

I place a torch by Leah's house (as well as anywhere in the Cindersap Forest), and the fire is always behind torch.

#

This happens even when running the game by itself without SMAPI and mods

peak osprey Aug 9, 2020, 3:37 PM

#

that's an issue with XNA, when maps get beyond a certain size limit it has trouble rendering things like fire in braziers

austere crypt Aug 9, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

Any way to fix that, or do I just hope that this is noticed and patched in the future?

peak osprey Aug 9, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

that's kind of out of CA's hands, since it's a problem with the rendering engine--there may be an optimization mod at some point in the future, but otherwise not really afaik

Hey

#

Question on garden pots

#

Wiki says "After completing the Greenhouse, Evelyn will visit the player's farm and give the player a Garden Pot, plus the recipe for crafting more. The cutscene triggers at some point after completing the greenhouse, when you exit the Farmhouse between 6am and 11:30am on a day when it's not raining."

#

At some point???

#

I have completed my greenhouse 3 days ago, I'm always leaving the house early and there's no rain

#

Where is my Evelyn gift??

#

Does anyone know what exactly affects that uncertain point, besides rain?

gritty tusk Aug 9, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

the day wasn't specified and I remember the event coming up in discussion before. though idk what was said anymore. been a while.
it may just be that she waits a few before showing up

willow elm Aug 9, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

Just checked the event code. It needs to be at least 3 (or 4?) days after the greenhouse is completed.

#

There's a conversation topic that lasts 3 days when you complete the greenhouse, it has to expire first - I'm just not sure when the topic is added (the morning after the junimos fix it maybe?)

hollow flame Aug 9, 2020, 11:46 PM

Hey guys, I'm collecting information about a specific issue, so please ping me if you're having trouble connecting to multiplayer on Steam and this applies to you:

You only see the join LAN option available
You cannot join another friend's game on Steam despite being online and being able to talk to them
You can confirm your internet is not the problem
You've tried all the troubleshooting steps to ensure nothing is wrong with your game or Steam

When telling me your problem, please let me know about these points as well:

If multiplayer worked before but now it doesn't
How recently you bought the game
If you have people in the same house who are able to connect and play SDV multiplayer on Steam
If you have changed your Steam username recently, OR if you changed your username and tried to play multiplayer again (keep in mind usernames with profanity have prevented people from connecting before)

Thank you!

@peak isle my MP game has been having this issue! from a search of our server chat, it looks like on July 18th I only had the "join LAN game" option and I thiiiink at least one other person in our group has seen this before too.

for a month or two now we've intermittently only been able to join the game via invite code even though both we and the host are online on Steam. with the invite code we connect fine and it isn't anyone's internet/game/Steam.

multiplayer through Steam did work before, up until pretty recently. I've owned the game for a couple years, I think the host got it a few months ago at most. to my knowledge none of us have recently changed Steam usernames.

things that may be a factor: we use SMAPI and the unlimited players mod, though we're never all playing at the same time and are usually under the vanilla limit. many of us also start the game using a custom mods path shortcut, including me and the host. cc @bronze notch who hosts our game!

Is there any possible way for me to move a save file from my laptop (mac) to my switch

willow elm Aug 11, 2020, 1:23 AM

Switch uses a different save file format. :C I have not heard of a way to transfer them.
(In theory it might be possible, but it would be extremely complex)

co-op still v.laggy on switch a year later :(

tribal nacelle Aug 12, 2020, 2:43 AM

That's pretty much solidly a connection issue, sadly

river wave Aug 12, 2020, 2:44 AM

ah so it's been fixed at this point? could be that now, but definitely wasn't before.

#

search from: noah#0004 for context

#

multiplayer, freezing as host even with nobody connected, gigabit internet, 5ghz, freezes randomly for 2-15 seconds at a time every few minutes, really annoying

tribal nacelle Aug 12, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

There were some optimizations in 1.4, yes. SDV is a peer to peer game, not a server based one, so the jitteriness depends on the connection between the players

river wave Aug 12, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

i haven't tried being solo in the co-op session. just saw it lagging playing with one person and assumed

#

ye but even with noone connected in 1.4.3 had the issue back in jan

tribal nacelle Aug 12, 2020, 2:46 AM

Switches especially are prone to connection issues based on their hardware; I can hardly play co-op on my gigabit tri-band wifi

but otherwise i'd agree, nintendo's servers and p2p communications are pretty bad

tribal nacelle Aug 12, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

A LAN adapter helps my issues with other games (I don't actually play SDV co-op on Switch usually), but as for SDV CA and Pod have been over the game code a zillion times at this point trying to track down a cause for connection issues and they can't find anything beyond what was already adjusted for 1.4

i just remembered i made a video showing the lag in co-op by myself

tribal nacelle Aug 12, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

Oh, no need for videos, we know about it. But the source isn't the game code 🤷🏻‍♀️

river wave Aug 12, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

gotcha. still leaves me wondering why it only seems to affect SDV :(

#

i should have gotten the game on PC instead lol

tribal nacelle Aug 12, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

Hard to say, beyond the specific connection protocol on the system maybe. The ports are all a bit different and thus the net protocols are all a bit different based on the hardware. And PC players have lag issues at times too

#

Best way to check is try changing connections and trying new saves/different players to see if you can find the common denominator that is the source of the lag

river wave Aug 12, 2020, 2:53 AM

i've gotta test it at home again, i'm at someone else's house right now and can't speak for the quality of their internet. it could very well be that. i haven't played at home in a while :P

Hmm. I dunno. Are you using a controller? If so try without it, see if you can get the game to run.

hey quick question could it break events if you just make everyone 8 hearts or will it do them in order

Shouldn't break anything

so wont magerly mess anythinf up just like maybe a spam of events for a bit after you do it

Yeah

wide vector Aug 12, 2020, 8:09 AM

#

I haven't been able to start it up yet, so i doubt my controller is the issue, but I have an Xbox One controller plugged into my PC. No change with/without it plugged in

willow elm Aug 12, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

I ask just because the error log mentions some controller stuff. And I know some people have had problems getting controllers to work right on PC (there's usually a way, but it's important to get the game working first heh)

#

I'd suggest trying again after keeping the controller unplugged and restarting your computer, in that order.

#

If that doesn't work, try to go through as many steps as you can of the troubleshooting guide and see where that gets you: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting

(& don't skip the step to reinstall XNA and .NET, it's a bit of a fuss but very often is the cause when people have issues running the game)

Hi all I just got married in game and in the spouse area were apparently two little trees that had grown off seeds that fell from when I used to have big trees planted nearby. Anyway one of the two trees I could chop down but the other one is clipping halfway through Shane's chicken coop and it looks really bad. Is there anyway I can get rid of this?

willow elm Aug 13, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

You could, probably, perhaps with a save file edit or a mod

#

I didn't know trees could even spread to the spouse area!

silent bay Aug 13, 2020, 4:42 AM

#

well I didn't either, they don't seem to grow past a little tree, but it is quite annoying. I've never used a save file editor or a mod but for this I would consider it!

willow elm Aug 13, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

Reset Terrain Features mod can get rid of them... but it's a bit of a sledgehammer, it might affect all the other trees on your farm map, too

#

OOOH

#

IDEA

#

try bombing it!
(it might need up to 5 or so bombs for the tree to lose enough "health", but I think it will work)

#

make sure nothing else is nearby that you might lose
(you can't blow up the shane coop no worries)

peak osprey Aug 13, 2020, 4:48 AM

you could also use Noclip Mode mod to clip through shane's coop and chop the tree
