The Switch gets all the same content updates PC does! Consoles usually get updates a bit after PC. If you have other game questions, feel free to ask in #stardew-valley, this channel is for getting help with technical issues :)
I need help.. my game doesn't run, not even open. I don't know why.
What happens when you try? Any error message or temporary window come up at all?
Here's a troubleshooting guide for what you can try if game not opening - https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch
When I try to open the game on Steam, it doesn't open, there's no message ou something like that. Just don't open at all.
I'm gonna try your tips
Ok - try the numbered steps in order and update us which ones you've tried and any changes (or if you have questions)
Ok, Thank you
I might be heading to bed soon but other helpers might be lurking around this channel as well
Ok, nice! 😄
Here's a troubleshooting guide for what you can try if game not opening - https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch
@willow elm Ok, it doesn't work 😦
Which step did you try?
Multiplayer work between Xbox?
Will split screen be available too Xbox too?
when MMORPG with SDV ? Lol
What the minimum config to play on pc? Can i play multiplayer between Linux and windows?
What the minimum config to play on pc? Can i play multiplayer between Linux and windows?
@ionic veldt
Minimum system requirements can be found on the steam page https://store.steampowered.com/app/413150/Stardew_Valley/
Yes, you can crossplay just fine between PCs with different OS
@ionic veldt CA did say it will be available on console as well, yes. No cross play yet though, as far as we are aware
What the minimum config to play on pc? Can i play multiplayer between Linux and windows?
@ionic veldt You can see the minimum spec requirements on the game's steam page. Anyone on a PC can play together, Steam or GOG, Linux, Mac, or Windows, it all works.
(Jonqora linked them to that)
Whoops, Idk how I missed that
Can someone explain to me what the muffin happened to that cauliflower
axe but wait for a good luck day
ok
And for future reference, gameplay questions go in #stardew-valley :)
I’ve been directed here and I guess this isn’t like a game breaking issue but
i have a gray cat but the icon in the profile shows the german shepherd
!reinstalldeps @ionic veldt
@ionic veldt Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch for links).
@boreal sequoia Did you save edit?
!reinstalldeps @ionic veldt
@tribal nacelle that video card support ? intel GMA 3150?
I'm not familiar with that particular one, but if it supports DirectX, it's fine. The error message is usually related to that guide I linked
@boreal sequoia Did you save edit?
@tribal nacelle save edit? im not exactly sure what you mean
im pretty sure i saved his name because i named him the day i got him and i didnt think about changing his name since, and his icon appeared as a gray cat for the first few ingame years
Hmm. So you did not go into the save file and change anything then?
Or use a mod?
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
what does save edit mean though
Going into the save file and changing something to make changes in game
Yep, please follow the instructions up there
ok, thanks!
No problem!
@tribal nacelle same problem..
You may have to try reinstalling after a reboot, sometimes it doesn't take. If that fails too, then move on to this
!installforlog
Try this:
- Install SMAPI: https://smapi.io/.
- Run the game through SMAPI.
- Upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log.
- Share the log link here.
(You can remove SMAPI later, we're just using it to see what the problem is.)
If that doesn't fix it:
Install SMAPI (if you don't already have it).
Launch the game.
Ask for help and attach your SMAPI log.
what it does?
It can help diagnose your issue
I'm sorry, you're going to have to be more specific. I don't know what you mean by "big pixels"
Doesn't mobile have the ability to change pets like pc/console? Didn't that come with 1.4 at the wizard?
Talking about the cursor @ionic veldt? What's your zoom setting at?
i have installed SMAPI and now?
Follow the rest of the steps :)
Doesn't mobile have the ability to change pets like pc/console? Didn't that come with 1.4 at the wizard?
Yes, but you can only change between cat and dog types, you can't change from a cat to a dog. And even if it was the wrong cat icon, that's still a bug since the image in the menu should update when your pet changes.
Then step 3....
Thanks Odin. That makes sense.
https://smapi.io/log explains how to generate a log
I'm pretty sure the instructions are written for steam. Did you try to follow them?

I think the GMA3150 ONLY supports directx 9 and opengl 1.5
That'd be the issue then
The minimum is open gl 2‽

Feel free to ask your question or describe your issue here, and someone will help if they can :)
sometimes when I get a cutscene the cutscene gets stuck at the first part and doesn’t progress and no skip button appears
i have to restart the game a few times for it to play properly
like I hear the cutscene custom theme but my character doesn’t appear lol

Sometimes when I sell something it says I sold like 2000 of them and gives me all the the gold for that
Any mods? What platform? And can you reproduce it reliably?
How do I fish in PS4?
A great question for #stardew-valley :)
If I am hosting a co-op, will my mods affect gameplay for other players?
Tldr, yes, but #archived-modded-support has more info on it
Aight, thanks
hi there, sorry if im in the wrong place, im new. im having some issues with my game, is this where i post my smapi log for help?
If modded, #archived-modded-support
thank you!
If from following the self help guide for vanilla, then yes
no its definitely HEAVILY modded, thanks again :+)
Np :)
Which step did you try?
@wary mason The step "The game doesn't launch". It didn't work. I reinstalled NET Framework and XNA Framework, then I restarted the computer, but nothing changes. My laptop has a medium configuration to play the game. I don't get it. Since I bought SDV (July) I couldn't play it. That's really sad cuz I love this game (I play it on the cellphone), and I want to play it on my computer so bad, specially with my friends. I don't want to give up on SDV. 😫
!installforlog
Try this:
- Install SMAPI: https://smapi.io/.
- Run the game through SMAPI.
- Upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log.
- Share the log link here.
(You can remove SMAPI later, we're just using it to see what the problem is.)
(thank you Wing)
(did you make sure to get the right version of .NET by the way? 4.5.2)
(did you make sure to get the right version of .NET by the way? 4.5.2)
@willow elm Yeah, that's right

Next step is SMAPI for some more complete error logging then
Ok then
oh oh a thing: do you have something like Afterburner?
Try this:
- Install SMAPI: https://smapi.io/.
- Run the game through SMAPI.
- Upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log.

@mighty kettle I'm not sure if it's the right log link >>>> C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe
(governor is a bot) The file path is different for SMAPI based on your install location, but the logs are always in the location https://log.smapi.io points you to
(also no need to ping every time, a few of us are online)
oh oh a thing: do you have something like Afterburner?
@wary mason Nope.. I have no idea what is that
it's a shader program that tends to crash Stardew Valley
The log would pretty much tip us off if you have anything like it though
Sorry for my ignorance guys
All good! Now did you get SMAPI installed, or is that were you are stuck?
I think it's installed.. can I send a printscreen?
Yep! Just paste directly into here
Yep, looks good! So copy that line it tells you to (all the way from " to %command) and copy it into the spot in steam. Or you can just try to launch from the actual file in the game folder
(StardewModdingAPI.exe)
OMG IT WORKS!!! The game launched

Okay, now try it without SMAPI. You can run from the game folder StardewValley.exe to test first
Ok, it doesn't run without SMAPI 😦
We've seen that before, not sure we ever figured it out. Good news is SMAPI on its own is safe to use with vanilla players if you want to co-op, and provides automatic backups of your save files, and some crash handling/error logging too. So you can 100% just leave it installed and play as normal that way.
Log would be nice just for data though for sure!
Ok, at least I can play it now. All thnaks to you guys. I'm really really greatfull for all the hepl ❤️
No problem!

I have installed the game on Linux but the resolution seems to low. can i improve it? I didn't find any option to change.
I watched some streamers on twitch and the resolution their game was better..
@twin ore Please upload your SMAPI log here: https://smapi.io/log, and then share the link in #archived-modded-support. It will let us read it that directly rather than trying to piece it together from screenshots.
I have installed the game on Linux but the resolution seems to low. can i improve it? I didn't find any option to change.
@ionic veldt Once you load a save, open the game menu and click the options tab. In there you'll be able to check if the game is set to the same resolution as your monitor, and change it if not. I'd also recommend checking the setting called Zoom Level. This will let you adjust how much of the game is displayed on screen and may help.

@sinful sparrow Thank you
@ionic veldt There's a limited range of zoom options in the settings menu. You can also try Zoom Level Keybinding mod to expand the range and zoom out much further (enable unlimited zoom in settings). If you need help with getting that set up, you can ask in #archived-modded-support
Settings menu?
In game, open you inventory and click the options tab
Can i take a screenshot for all my farm on Android?
This is a good question for #farms-and-outfits (check the pinned posts)
But your answer is yes (with mods) or sortof (with upload.farm)
my character keeps picking stuff up and putting stuff down like of i was spamming clicking but im not even clicking
how do i fix this
What version are you on, and any mods?

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! You may also want to check this list of XNB > Content Patcher conversions (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods#Alternatives_using_Content_Patcher) to see if there are already replacements for any XNB mods you may have been using :)
Is the split screen on PC going to be through steam remote play?
My friends multiplayer option isn't working it won't give her the option to put a code in or when hosting in co-op doesn't let her get a code or invite a friend we tried all the troubleshooting guide on stardewvalley net but none of them worked does anyone know how to fix this
Try changing the Steam/GOG username
@violet rune we don't know anything beyond the information on the tweet
So we tried that and it didn't work and she wanted me to add she's willing to try anything XD
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!)
It appears those didn't work either
Hmm. There's likely something on one or the other computer blocking the connection then. Only your friend who can't see it?
Yeah
Okay, can we get her in here to try and narrow things down? There's some programs and such that could be the issue, but it's easier without relaying
Yeah I'll invite her one sec
hello what would you like me to add
o7 I have to step away again for a bit, but the first place to start will be a screenshot of everything in the active processes of Task manager, minus the Windows stuff
where do i find that
ctrl+alt+delete, "Task Manager"
screenshot of everything in the active processes I think, not just SDV
huh, nothing else is running?
thats all i have active, everything else is running in the background
background process might be important too.
oh, okay thank you :3
I'm not sure myself what Minerva is looking for, but she might be wanting to check for active antivirus programs and other things that are known to sometimes interfere with SDV
i have about 93 (give or take a few) things running in the background, should i just try to find everything that might count as an ad blocker or anitvirus
We can start with those, but there's some other stuff if it's not that (sorry, doing some household stuff with my mother right now)
(multiple screenshots is fine, more info is better than less info)
(so screenshotting full list of every active process might be best)
that's....so many McAfees?
yeah, it's like that
should i attempt to screenshot everything?
Okay I'm back, sorry. @craggy geode is that the only antivirus you have?
yes, those are the only ones i have anymore
Oh wait, you have two? squints at image
You aren't running Defender too, are you?
i have the ad blocker for crome stuff and the expired mac stuff. not sure if i have a defender though, ill take a quick look
I'd try disabling anything extra, keeping only one service on. if McAfee is expired, toss it. Anti viruses, especially multiple ones running, can really eff up the net protocol for co-op
oh yeah for adblockers i recommend using extensions, firefox has some great ones
Chrome has some good ones too, as extensions. And they don't mess with stuff outside the browser
Uninstalled all the MacAfee stuff, the only other thing i can think that might be an ad blocker is something called 64-bit (I can send a pic of the task screen name)
Sure 🙂
64-bit synaptic*
that's probably not it
no, should i try that as well?
Awesome! I'd turn on Defender and make sure it works with that, but it was likely the conflict between everything you had running. Make sure to grab a nice ad blocker extension for your browser too, uBlock Origin is excellent imo
(But do make sure you have an antivirus, just not more than one)
personally i use umatrix
on firefox (my usual browser) i also use privacy possum, adblock (for the "block this element" rightclick option, mostly), and decentraleyes
okay :3 Thanks for the recommendations, i'll check them out
Uhm, howdy! Im sorry for the bother but im having an issue with one of the cutscenes (i think its shanes 6 or 8 heart, i go into marnies ans jas is in the kitchen) it just freezes instantly. I forget how to get all the coding
Any mods?
yes
Thank you!
np 🙂
Hello is there a way to change your farm name

@drowsy linden @candid plover #archived-modded-support is a better place for both of your questions! this channel is for bugs that happen without mods
thank you!
Stardew doesn't have multiplayer on mobile, nor is crossplay supported. Everyone you play with will need to be on PC or on the same console type to play together.

hey, my game won't launch on pc. i tried reinstalling it and deleting the startup prefs file, which didn't work. I don't have anything in my launch options in steam. I also tried to follow the steps about reinstalling the xna package, but i cant find the _CommonRedist folder mentioned
Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch for links).
the xna reinstall fixed things :) thanks!

hi
i have a problem with the achievements on steam, there are lots of them which i completed but it doesnt show on steam
mods?
I can't find any info online anywhere, any update on the PS4 store version coming back any time soon? All I can find is a tweet by @finite delta back in Aug saying it would be a while. Its almost November so just curious. Thanks folks
There hasn't been any news unfortunately, last we heard the changes were being submitted to Sony for approval
what is a timezone?
because i want to invite peoples to play but i dont know what is a timezone
It's a way to share what part of the globe you live on without giving specific location. https://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/
timezones are just different times in different countries
different areas of earth
@upper glen this happens if you play the game without launching through Steam. Usually it happens to people who are using mods and haven't configured steam to run SDV with mods. You can get more help in #archived-modded-support if that's the case.
i have a question the max players for mutliplayers is 4 correct?
and if its 4 is there a way to increase it?
Yes, it is 4 max. There are unofficial ways to increase it only on PC, with mods
This is the mod for playing with more than 4 people on PC, only the host needs to install it, but the other players will need to install SMAPI

How much connection upload need to host a game in PC?
@ionic veldt basically nothing. very little data is sent with online gaming Unless you're on dialup you're prob fine. also with that ancient gpu it will prob lag quite a bit but that's not due to your internet its your low specs. intel hd 3000 is from 2011.

idk if this is a game problem or mac problem but sd keeps crashing and then this pops up. i tried to install but it says it cant install because it cant find the server or something. what do i do?
Is that vanilla or modded crashing?
no i dont have any mods
Hmm, I'm not super familiar with vanilla Mac. Can you back up your saves and try the guide here first? Both this first section and the second one: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch (i know it says modding ignore that)
Did something go wrong with your game? This is the page for you. (This page isn't only for players who use mods!)

@sly jackal with crash i mean it sends me back to that beginning animation with those birds flying
You could try the instructions here for undoing the last save - the one backup copy kept by the game might not have the same problem.

Have you ever used mods with this save?
Hey I'm having some odd issue when trying to launch the game
Anyone mind helping me out with it? I'll have to screen share to really show the plethora of issues
I can't screen share sorry
Ehhh
Yeah one sec, gotta figure out how to post that as a vid
Sorry your gonna have to wait for someone else
It tries to jump between my 2 monitors like the resolution is off, and it has even moved my desktop icons
Does this when I launch it both with and without mods
Try clearing your startup preferences maybe?
There's a file called startup_preferences inside %appdata%/StardewValley on Windows. Delete that file, reboot your computer for good measure, and then try again.
eh, similar has happened to me a few times 
can anyone help me my game wont start ive been trying for 2 hours and i found a link to this discord
ive tried a bunch of stuff i looked up online and nothings worked
What platform and what have you tried so far
windows 10 things ive checked have been like
seeing if i have the xna files and the microsfot c++ files ive tried verifying the game on steam
i think i know the problem but i dont know how to fix it
it doesnt create a stardew valley folder in my appdata/roaming
Okay, have you tried running your PC in safe mode and seeing if it works like that? Not from Steam, directly from the file in the game folder
Yeah, it won't do that until first launch
i havent tried safe mode
Try that first then please, that'll tell us if it's another app interfering
um how do i boot my pc in safe mode sorry
okay ill try
Okay im on disc on my phone and have safe mode on my pc
Its not doing anything different i hit play it says launching then goes away and nothing happens
You can't go into Steam, you need to go into the game folder. Surprised Steam even opened tbh
(Usually it won't)
Hey all
Okay, it's an XNA issue then most likely. You can exit safe mode, next steps are: reinstall both of these files, even if you did it before, and then if it still doesn't work, follow the next step to try with SMAPI
!reinstalldeps
Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch for links).
!installforlog
Try this:
- Install SMAPI: https://smapi.io/.
- Run the game through SMAPI.
- Upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log.
- Share the log link here.
(You can remove SMAPI later, we're just using it to see what the problem is.)
Would it be easier if i shared my screen
Ok lemme boot normally

Feel free to ask your question or describe your issue here, and someone will help if they can :)
(/fix the problem @ kenny XD)
We were just past the third year with grandpa cut scene and we both got 4 candles but the shrine only gave us one yoba statue is there any fix for this?
does it matter where i install those cause ive done them before and put them in the stardew valley folder in steam
or do they need to go somewhere else
ill try installing smapi next
Don't put them in the folder, download from the linked site and run the installers
Hmm, I can't find any definitive information @west carbon, what happens if the farmhand offers a diamond to the shrine?
it says i may have to remove .net first
what is that should i try that too
the wiki link says that i mean
alright it says my pc already has .net 4.5.2 and for the xna framework i already have it so when i run it it just asks me to uninstall or repair it
Yep, try removing and reinstalling
ok ill try removing and reinstalling
do you know where it gets installed automatically im not seeing it in my apps/features
is it this dotnet folder in steamworksshared/commonredist?
@tribal nacelle nothing it just says grandpas shrine
It’s not like it’s the end of the world if we don’t get it but it was just a disappointing bug to have
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
@dry pawn if it won't let you uninstall .net, that's fine. XNA is the bigger problem child
the link on this wiki to remove .net says it cant be uninstalled on windows 10 do you want me to download this framework repair tool instead
Yep
ok i did that and it says this for recommended changes
Reregister Windows Installer service
Unregisters and re-registers the Windows Installer service using MsiExec.exe. Applicable regardless of the diagnosis results.
Restart Windows Installer service
Stops and restarts the Windows Installer service. Applicable regardless of the diagnosis results.
so i guess ill hit next and see what happens
game still does not launch
Both .net and XNA completed?
yeah
Okay, move on to SMAPI then
Direct is fine (and preferred)
ok i installed it theres a bunch of files which one do i open
i dont have one with that
(sorry, wrong emote XD)
no i mean theres no files with a picture
Screenshot?
oh do i have to install it again first theres files that say install on linux/mac/windows
then a folder called internal
Yeah, you just unzipped it then
ok my bad im not good with computers
ok heres what it says
sec ill just screenie it
Damn, that's what I was afraid of. It's your Windows install
this isnt the first game ive had problems with trying to launch to
its a new computer i got last month
is there a fix
Yeah :/ You'll need to try a Windows reset
i dont know how i would even begin that
theres no file i can install to make this work?
Google can walk you through it, it's basically restoring your install of Windows 10
We were just past the third year with grandpa cut scene and we both got 4 candles but the shrine only gave us one yoba statue is there any fix for this?
@west carbon that's just how it works in multiplayer. Always has been. If you're interested in installing mods, my Angry Grandpa mod allows each farmhand to get their own.
i dont want to end up breaking my pc and i dont really know what im doing are you sure i should be trying to reset windows
what does this error message mean
what isnt starting correctly
That I can't tell you. We're SDV community support here. But that's the fix in a case like this - if it's worth doing for you, that's not something we can decide
XNA is not able to start, so the game can't start. When reinstalling the other files fails, then it's something deep in the Windows stuff that the only fix for is to do a reset
so do i just google how to reset windows 10 and itll work?
There are instructions yes. If you don't feel confident in doing it, then ask someone to help you IRL, but it's pretty automated now a days
will it delete my data?
i havent had this computer for long so i wouldnt have to reinstall too much stuff
i guess i could try it if this also affects other games
I believe a reset isn't supposed to, but I always make a backup
ok im just looking up info on this if i want to do it
would it also reset my drivers or anything
and resetting it would just remove everything that didnt come with the pc right
but youre saying the windows install isnt right?
its a prebuilt pc i bought so would a reset fix whatever is wrong
It basically factory restores it, yes
Hello, I want to know if you can help me with one problem?
!ask
Feel free to ask your question or describe your issue here, and someone will help if they can :)
Hi! Did somebody had this problem? Do you know how can I fix it? It seems like the textures went crazy
It's the character creation screen
Ive seen this before but I don't remember how to fix
When I enter it's normal, but it goes to that state after a few seconds
Ive seen this before but I don't remember how to fix
@ornate idol I'll start reading the channel to see if there is an answer
Sorry for interrupting but do you know how to solve the 10 fps drop?
@tribal knoll try pressing F12
@compact gale I'm not sure I know of that as a specific issue with a known solution. Do you use any mods?
Sorry for interrupting but do you know how to solve the 10 fps drop?
@compact gale saw somebody who reinstalled and got that solved
@tribal knoll try pressing F12
@willow elm it worked!!!
The only thing that I need to do is reinstall the game?
@compact gale I'm not sure I know of that as a specific issue with a known solution. Do you use any mods?
@willow elm Nop, I am using the base game
The only thing that I need to do is reinstall the game?
@compact gale I dunno, saw a girl who had the same problem
i have 350 starfruit should i tern it into jelly or wine?
Wine ofc but wrong place to ask this
thx
Guys i have a question. Is it true that Android version doesn't really play any music during the game or there is just a problem with my version? Coz i can't play music with any jukebox nor hear any music while playing.
Problem with your version. Did you purchase it from the play store?
Yes😥
Have you tried a reinstall yet?
Nope. Afraid i might lose my files coz my phone deletes every file of the game after uninstalling it
You can make a back up of your save files first, and then do it.
Here's how to find them https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Mobile_Saves
Saving a copy of those files somewhere else on your phone will make sure you can restore them after deleting and reinstalling the app
Hi somehow steam deleted my launch options and also my main save file though the save back up is still there. Has anyone else encountered this problem before? If so, how do I fix it?
did a popup show up before you started the game talking about not being connected to cloud services or something similar? @topaz pumice
@tidal token it did although not gonna lie i paid no attention to it
i did
still having the issue?
it still open my unmodded stardew
thats the thing it wont show up even when i click the SMAPI icon my main save file isnt there
just a very old one from like a year ago
theres my log file
- launch the game
- copy in your files from your save backup
- Then they will not get overwritten again by steam cloud
that didnt help at all
hmm. Well, if you're using smapi at all, this maybe isn't the best place anyway - ask in #archived-modded-support for anything not a vanilla problem
you need to reset the launch options first. then go and attempt to recover the file.
hi guys my game is crashing when I try to load my character. it gets to the loading screen and then the music stops and the loading dots stop moving. Ive already tried the music troubleshooting steps and all the saves editing and all that and Ive put in earphones. i have another save that loads fine which tells me that it is only my save that has a problem. Can anyone help me?
Sure. Do you use any mods, or have you in the past?
(Also, have you tried the steps for "Undo the last save" yet in your troubleshooting exploration? This usually works if a save file has become corrupted somehow) https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Undo_the_last_save
No I havent but the help on the stardew valley website told me to download smapi but when i try to find the logs for it I cant find it. Yeah other than that there no mods
Ive literally tried everything they have up on the help and im dying
Ok that's good
We can help with smapi and logs (which is a good next step if undoing the previous save didn't work)
Can you try zipping and sharing your save folder here? I can try opening it on mine to see if it's the save file itself that's borked
what does that mean sorry
Use a program like 7zip to archive your save folder (the folder named e.g. YourName_342892661, that has a few files inside it) into a zip file and upload that file here in this chat
if you're not sure how to do that, I have another way
just upload the SaveGameInfo file here
and then the YourName_342892661 file next to it, separately
Windows has a built in zipping tool too
I can put them back together into a working save folder 
Send to compressed
Okay im so sorry how do i upload the file onto here
Just drag and drop
do i just select the file and then paste it?
ahhhhh okay
okay i think i did it right lol

ok, it definitely crashes for me too. Problem seems to be an XML error in the save file.
@cold mason can you also upload your SaveGameInfo_old file and your Topaz_207948230_old file for me?
oh wow, ok. The entire save file encoding is inscrutable. I hope the backup is intact, or else I may not be able to help 
oh fuck
i feel like crying because a month ago when i was attempting to get my save to work i tried making copies of my saves and deleting the save files and now im so afriad i fucked that up

WHEN I TELL YOU IM STRESSING SO MUCH RN
if they dont work then i might have to send over the infamous copies of them
oh no
no luck
WTFDJJFJHFJEFDHFERGF
if you have infamous copies lol, sure, send em, let's try
I'm trying/hoping to just find one of the Topaz_207948230 that doesn't... look like this when I open it 
(for comparison, save files do normally contain a huge wall of text and symbols, but while they are messy-looking they are at least readable, like this)
for some reason the encoding on your save is messed up such that I can't even read it with a text editor 
still no worky 
would you like me to send the copies of the old?
sure
WHATTATAATTA
hang on, I think I gotcha!
OMFG WTF ACTUALLY???
it loads!
Those ones should work!
OK, those same exact two files you sent me - rename them to just be SaveGameInfo and Topaz_207948230
And then put them inside your actual save folder, replacing the files of the same name that are there.
Omg thank you so much
(Don't worry about the other files currently in the save folder, it should be fine to leave those)
They'll get overwritten with a working backup once you open the save and play through a day
okay ill try it now thank you so so much
fingers crossed that it works! (and even if it doesn't quite yet, we know now at least that it's possible to fix, phew!)
i renamed them and because they had files with the same name then it put a (2) at the end. will this affect the running of the file?
yes, delete the original ones and make the names of the working ones match exactly
yeah, let's see what happens 👀
omg I thought there was something else wrong with your savefile just now once I had successfully opened it, but nope, you had just changed the move keybindings to be arrows instead of WASD lmao 😅
oh yeah i dont fuck with wasd lmaoooo
...so did it work? 👀

OMFG THANK YOU SO MUCH AHAHAHA
you are very welcome! I'm glad this saga had a happy ending ahahahaha 😅
omg me too like i would actual be so depressed if it all was unplayable
the plot twists had me quite worried there for a bit 
oh which ones haha
How do i backup a multiplayer game? My girl friend make a host but get PC is almost bricking. I want to have a backup
@cold mason these ones haha:
- oh no, small XML error
- oh NO entire file is completely unreadable???
- OH NO and the backups TOO??
that was so stressful im glad its fixed lol
@ionic veldt you can have your friend find the save files by following instructions here and make a copy of them https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves
You'll need to make backup copies regularly though. Unless maybe if your friend can use a service like Dropbox and sync the saves folder to the cloud?
Can i host a game of other friend?
Like, can you change the game file so that you are the host and friend is farmhand?
Not easily, but someone has created a tool to help with this. No promises on how well it works, and there might be bugs
I haven't ever used it myself, but someone else 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.
Hi! Is the game not available to download on PS4 in Australia because of the same thing as the Europe thing ? Or different
hi uh it seems i cant join my friend's farm, he cant join mine aswell.
my friend can join my other friend's farm but i cant
does my smapi might have an effect on it?
I believe not, as long as mods that affect gameplay are not installed
Visual mods don't affect multiplayer
@signal raptor Hi if you use mods please go to #archived-modded-support
yeah uh ive uninstalled smapi and the mods but i still get the connection failed
ive reinstalled it, restarted my steam and pc
Hmm... is it you or your friend with the problem?
it seems like im the problem
Are you using any antiviruses?
i do have kasperky but its not active since i dont have it activated yet
Hmm if it's not active then it shouldent be a problem
I'm not very helpful eventually Minerva or jonqora or someone will come and home
alright ill wait
@signal raptor, which of the steps in this troubleshooting list have you tried so far? https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Can.27t_connect_to_another_player_in_multiplayer
yeah uh ive reinstalled the xna framework but it seems i cant uninstall the .net so i cant reinstall/update it bcs its already there
and also for the visual c++ i just need to delete the 2013 only and not the other ones (2017 etc) right?
I think so, but I'm not 100% sure.
@muted steppe we believe so, yes. They probably use the same store
i'm trying to join my friend's farm, but there is no join button in co-op, only the lan one.
@cerulean flame what platform?
pc, and im using steam
Good, good - did you launch the game though Steam?
Either of you running any antivirus? Try disabling temporarily
Also what is your steam name? There's a content filter that blocks people from connecting sometimes based on words in their name
my steam name is TERRI6606
And I’m removing my antivirus
Oh it works now
Thank you so much for helping me!

hey my mom got stardew valley but she doesn't really like the keyboard controls, is there a way to connect joycons or something to control the game? she has a mac mini
Yeah you can use controllers with PC I think. As for which ones will work, I'm not sure. Lemme see if I can find a help page about it.
thanks! im going to go check if her computer has bluetooth
Hm. I can't find like - a setup guide or anything at a glance, but most controllers made to be usable with PC should work OK. If you're using mods, there might be extra troubleshooting steps depending, but in vanilla it should mostly just work, from what I can see? 🤔
I know I asked this before but SD keeps crashing and then I'm prompted with a msg telling me download lldb. I can launch SD again and play for about an hour but then it crashes again. I'm on a mac with no mods. I did some research and to get lldb I need xcode which I don't wanna download. Is there anyway to get it to stop crashing?
!installforlog
Try this:
- Install SMAPI: https://smapi.io/.
- Run the game through SMAPI.
- Upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log.
- Share the log link here.
(You can remove SMAPI later, we're just using it to see what the problem is.)
Is that after it crashed?
no do i have to play it until it crashes and then give you that log link?
Yes please. Sorry, forgot to mention that!
You'll make a new log after it crashes - do not reopen the game before uploading or it will overwrite it
ok thanks! lemme just play now lmao
thats the new one but the log looks the same so idk if youll be able to see the problem
Did it crash right after you launched the game? That log doesn't look very long
yea it did. i got to the home page and then it crashed and the lldb thing showed up again
another thing i noticed was that my xbox controller wasnt working when i ran sd through smapi maybe that has to do something with this crash
It might be the random window resizing issue that is known about... I don't myself remember what the fix is if there is one, hmm 🤔
Ah, controller issues with smapi are common yes - I'm not sure in this case if it's separate or related to this crash though
Yeah, looks like something is resizing. Try disabling your antivirus and any other not absolutely necessary programs and try it again
sorry im dumb when it comes to computer stuff, how do i disable my antivirus and other programs?
hey uh @willow elm ive done the steps you gave me, it still doesnt work
do i go here for mod help or #archived-modded-support ?
mkay thanks
Heyo. I recently got a new comp and was trying to reinstall SVE, but for some reason it's not working. I didn't have much trouble last time, so I don't know what's going wrong this time. I followed all the steps, have all the prerequisite mods, everything else is working like it should, but when I start up a new file I end up in the vanilla version of the game. halp
Wrong place to ask try #archived-modded-support @midnight portal
fair enough
will there be a halloween sale for SV?

I am having an issue with multiplayer and the Theater. I am hosting for 3 friends. We just opened the movie theater and I was able to go in and see a movie first day. I didn't take a guest, but one of the players also joined me. We both were able to go in and see the movie.
The next day, a different player tried to take a date to the movies. However, he was not allowed to enter even though he had a ticket. I - the host who had already seen a movie - went over and mashed right click on the door, and for whatever reason that let the other player in. But when he tried to buy snacks the menu wouldn't open, when he tried to enter the movie area he couldn't to in (but we got a "This movie will start soon!" Message) and then the date said that they really enjoyed the movie.
Is this a known issue / something that can be fixed?
Hmm. Any mods?
Hmm. Any mods?
@willow elm sorry! Got sucked into a meeting.
We are currently using SVE and the host of mods that make it work. However, when the movies were first introduced I played a multiplayer game with my wife and we had a similar issue using no mods. Host can enter and no one else can.
Hmm. Well, if you're using any mods, the place to ask is #archived-modded-support, not here. For what it's worth, I've experienced similar issues in multiplayer when a farmhand tries to invite any modded NPC.
Okay! Thank you.
Whenever I try to load my save file, the game crashes as soon as I click on. I am still able to create new games but my main one won’t load. Someone plz help, I really don’t want to have to start over
@severe flare are you using any mods? what platform (PC, android etc)?
On pc, and I’m not using any mods

hello, i was wondering if you could buy SDV directly from the devs
just so when i have money i can like
do that
i dont really wanna give a cut to valve
also, i don't have a pair of headphones or a speaker. is that gonna be an issue starting it up
You can buy it from GOG instead if you want, but yes, it does need an audio device
They do
(I've played on laptop from day 1 PC wise)
Sure is, read #old-rules
good 2 know
(also against Discord TOS)
So if you still have issues once you buy it, you can come ask for help. You can also usually get a refund within so much time if it's not working
Game is on sale rn actually 😄
but im brooooooooooooke
the game wont open. idk how to open it. it was fine yesterday but today ive tried clicking it once, twice and right clicking it open and through steam. any ideas?
hi guys, so I just bought Stardew valley on iOS today (bc it's on sale) and I want to get my save file from Steam/PC to my iPad. I followed the instruction on svwiki but the save file does not show up on my ipad when I hit "Load game"
So is there anything I can do to get it working? 😦
I'm pretty sure that I did it right T.T
Bois, do you know if i can log onto a different computer with the same steam account and play on the same save?
no you cant
but you can use a memory stick to put the saved game on it

Is 1.80 ghz to play stardew valley?
The specs said 2 was needed but is 1.80 like good enough at the least
your specs should be at least the minimum requirements on the steam page.

it shouldn't care about order at all

@peak osprey that doesn't answer my question, why does a backup save not count as a save when pressing "swap to previous save"

@balmy estuary are you using any anti viruses
Does it say it is already running in your steam library?
no just windows defender
Try turning that off maybe
Does it say it is already running in your steam library?

how old
@cobalt gale 6-7
because if it’s a extremely old computer that might be what’s causing it
But is it currently running.
no i can play league of legends gta 5
maybe uninstall other games you dont play that much?
like if it is you could open task manager and manually close the program and then try it. Or you could try to restart steam
i delete all the things turn the factory setting 1 months ago
My only advice is to try to turn off the windows defender
Or try to restart you computer
Or boot it into safe mode and then try to run it

If you're asking how to turn a singleplayer save into a multiplayer one, visit Robin and build a cabin (or more depending on how many people will be playing), then sleep to save that day. Exit that save to title, then instead of "load", click on "co-op". Use the Host tab to open that same save. Other people will then be able to join

Hey, I received the game as a gift so we could play co-op and unfortunately I am unable to both connect and invite friends as the invite button/show invite/enter invite code are not showing up. I've tried all sorts of fixes, tried inviting them through the steam UI, tried installing both windows windows redistributable 2013 x86 and windows redistributable 2015 x86 and setting up a port forward and followed every guide/fix I could find online to try and fix it and nothing has worked. I'd very much appreciate if I could get some help because I feel bad for my friend for having gifted me the game and that I'm unable to play it with them

This reminds me of another very curious glitch I saw once. @rare basin, do both your games show the same in-game time on the clock?
@willow elm Yup! We can even hear each other when we chop wood and stuff

That is weeeeeeeird
more details... what platform are you both on, anyone using any mods?
So how do you start a multi?
Anybody else having an issue with the switch pro controller on pc? in game B is A and A is B, changing it in steam doesnt seem to work at all, if it helps im on linux
I dunno anything about linux.
i have no clue if its a pc thing, steam thing or somehow a linux thing (it doesnt affect any other game or steam)
so it seems its just a thing with the pc version, i thought it was some weird buggy thing
Has anyone tried the android version of stardew valley? If so, do you like it?
i like it
i actually like it more than pc one
not saying its absolute neat to be able play it on the go in any situation 
Alright cool thanks for the information
did some more testing, and it seems that stardew completely ignores controller remapping in steam altogether (tho the X and Y buttons are swapped in both, changing them in steam does nothing)
Wow that's surprising! Is there a reason to play on a switch pro controller?
Have you looked into 3rd party controller remapping.
@forest shore I have over 1k hours on android
Mods
I've 100% the game
even did 40 million year 1 and fectors
Thanks for the info. You liked it? It's on sale now and need to spend my reward money.
i just really like the pro controller over the others i have, and i have no clue at all if there is any controller mapping software on linux that can do it for one specific game, since stardew valley ignores mapping in general
welp, i found a few so theres that, the more you know
Ofc I liked it
Get it anyday
I bought mine just after the sale ended
All I have to say is
THANK GOD I BOUGHT OT
@wide lynx that's awesome! I'm not sure if it will work with stardew valley though. If it is free might not hurt to try it out.
i found a sdl2 one, so that might work
Hey, this channel is for game bugs and issue, you can chat in #stardew-valley :)
wouldnt SDV not following its own controller mapping be an issue? on switch its b is b and a is a, but with a switch controller on pc b is a and a is b, yet every other button is the same as on a switch
Controllers are kind of weird with SDV, I think that might be an issue with the Switch controller and Windows
Oof, yeah, all of our Linux people bailed
You can check in the forums to see if anyone has posted about it though
ive searched and searched, all ive seen is mac people who cant get a controller to work with it
Mac is a Unix system, so that makes sense. Think Android has issues too
i think one person in 2017 or something posted about it but there wasnt really an easy solution
I'm afraid my controller experience is limited to non SDV, though I do have issues using a Switch controller on PC. Jonqora might have an idea, but beyond that I don't think there's too much we can do :/
if in the games files the mappings for controller inputs are "ControllerA and ControllerB" then they could just be swapped in some patch
Okay, I will try to ask one more time: there is an issue on Android in desert shop (not Sandys, other one) with rock candy price. Is it known issue or I can/should report it? Quick-googled but didnt find anything. Game is clean, updated, no mods, reinstalled twice. Here are screenshots
Or is it supposed to not show that the price is 3 prismatics? I thought about that too but thats strange because other stuff has price (bat wings etc)
Where I can report if it is a bug?
Just tried mapping, and SDV doesnt use mappings if steam isnt there, so i guess i have to get used to some weird mixed layout, or hope somewhere theres a way to change the mapping that works, or hope it changed in a future version
!officialbug @main lake
@main lake 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
Thank you!
ey, space dandy
ehehe a person of culture 
hey gang, just joined hoping someone could help let me know if a certain mod exists. should I do that here or in the using-mods channel?
Usually for mod stuff the mod channels are more useful in general
But for specific visual mods the farm design channel is also useful
gotcha, thanks 😄
does anyone know why my friends time is always like 20 minutes behind? itll be 9:20 but for them its 90am
idk if its the mods im using, but its all fine for my other friends but him
sounds like a mod problem so maybe head over to #archived-modded-support
also sounds like it's his problem if he's the only one having issues out of all of you in the same game
I've seen a problem like this before. Probably the strangest bug I've encountered.
And yeah, if any of you are using mods it's a #archived-modded-support question
hi!! i need help w smapi not working for me, does that question go here or in using-mods??
thank u!!
hey guys, i have a question about achievements, dont know if i'm right here
i cant get the Local Legend achievement for finishing the CC although i finished it on multiple saves. i also watched the ceremony cutscene the next day and got that trophy
does anyone have an idea what to do?
The Steam achievement right? Are you using mods?
yes thats right, im sorry somehow i just got it
finished it with another save and its colored in steam now
but didnt get that message in the game.
works now though thx 😉
Hmm. Yeah that's one of the achievements that has no in-game achievement star, only the Steam one
As long as your SMAPI is configured to launch with Steam, you should be fine in future.
If it isn't, I can offer more help in #archived-modded-support.
yes i got it set in steam, so it starts with that one. but thx for help!
for multiplayer is there any way to keep your character skill levels when you join someones game? Or do you start off new in another persons game?
Nope. All data and data for additional players is stored in the host file. Character profiles (including friendships, skills, accomplishments) are separate to each save game.
I see thanks 😄
