Peculiar, but I don't believe the switch version existed back then? Perhaps it's the same corrupted file causing the crash.
A bug from 3 years ago also doesn't really play fair to a bug happening now as many things have changed 😛
You're able to reproduce it specifically? Does it always happen after you visited the skull caverns?
I feel like it's the save file, was playing with my s/o on her switch monday and we both went to the caverns, and then went home and slept and it worked fine
We went 3 times to the cavern and the second time took a bit longer then normal to load
Maybe it crashes because i play splitscreen
Previous message disproves that 😛 We play splitscreen, both went and it was fine. besides the certain guys that shoot fire. that just destroys the switch lol
Yeah, I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the limited capability of the Switch and perhaps some memory leak.
Yeah tbh, the switch co-op just barely works
How it runs co-op on 1.02ghz is beyond me
It also sometimes lags when somebody was blowing bombs and other mining
Yeah that just sounds like the switch being the switch tbh
Yeah that would be a far better experience
I have yet to hear how bad the new area is hahaha
Oh no I mean the volcano 😛 That's got to be horrid on splitscreen co-op
Anyone playing online multiplayer on switch experiencing random freezes in the game? Been trying to find a solution but to no avail
when will 1.5 come out on mobile
Long story short switch hardware isn't the greatest
As for mobile: I'm committed to seeing the 1.5 update come to mobile, and I'm doing what I can to make that happen as soon as possible. There's no current timeline I can give for when that will happen, though.
348
10508
Can we have a !mobile command with that tweet? x)
Can I also have a !switchhardware command 
Hahahha
Then again the new switch pro looks promising
I see, so I can assume that nothing can really be done on the developers' end?
Ah crap.... LOL
I mean, to be entirely fair to all parties. The Switch's hardware is not the greatest, but this game was also not programmed very ...well. It's not optimized much, despite being a very light game.
Just frustrating to do qi challenges when I freeze then die in the caverns
Lego games can't even hold a stable 30fps on a switch 😛
A LEGO game
I reckon lego games are very intensive as they need to render every brick. :B
😛
But yeah the switch pro seems it's going to support 4k... so realistically if it can do that at even 30fps it should do 1080p at 60... I hope
what do you do if you don't get the cutscene for the community center after it's fixed?
Also event days delay it iirc.
If I re insert the disk and the Xbox started updating sdv even though I played it on 1.5 for 1 weeks
Could be the blue floor update?
Added this as !mobileupdate
You're awesome Mousey

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! (This doesn't affect your save 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 :)
Oops, wrong channel
Issues with a 1.5 quest if anyone can help please. Spoiler: ||I accepted the "Extended Family" fishing quest but it's no longer showing in my Journal. I should be on Day 2 but it's not in my Journal, and when I go back to Qi's, both quests are grayed out. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Appreciate any tips! <3||
Console?
Y’all Jodi and Sam just walked into broken down Joja Mart the day after I fixed the community center. Is this normal?
have you seen the community center cutscene yet?
Yup
any mods? what platform?
No mods, switch
Can you get mods on a macbook?
does anyone have the updated files for farmer? Some of my files are outdated and some aren't which is weird.
Sure can!
Just validate your files or reinstall the game. Unless you have a pirated version which isn't allowed you have the means to fix it yourself!
oh will it affects the mods?
Nope, from past experiences reinstalling and validating had never affected mods
kk thank you
Can always copy the mods just in case
so it says that three of them failed to validate. what should i do?
i didn't get an update
Huh? Steam or gog
steam
That's uh... Odd
Hey so I encountered the ufo event. Had to leave my game. And when I went back. There was no capsule. And by leave I meant exiting the game on switchm
should i reinstall then?
Worth a shot, I'd copy your mods out just in case
Did your game save after the event occurred?
Hmm I dont recall? It saved after I went to bed then got the strange sound, then I left the game
If it saved before then technically the event itself didn't save
Since it's completely random
is there suppose to be two hairstyles file? hairstyle x, and x2?
No idea tbh
Oh. Thanks for the heads up then!
im trying to join my friend world but every time it shows my np_32206-3
Anyone know why my stars are like this in the back? and if it's fixable?
It's nothing game breaking, but it makes me insane every time I load up my save
do you play with mods? /on pc?
Yes on PC, no mods
it's probably due to the fact i'm playing on a 4k monitor?
it's only the stars that act like that though
oof weird... does it still do that when you play in windowed mode?
or maybe just a bug. hope someone else can you more sorry 
oh lol I actually haven't thought to check that
I'll check that in a bit I just started a new day and I need to save 
okay more strange tech issues i'm having, I was having this weird fps stutter thing when I walk,
so I googled it and it said it may be because I was using full screen windowed mode,
so I tried switching to full screen, and everytime I switch to regular fullscreen the game crashes
Hey I have been having issues with my game just dropping to 1 fps randomly often enough to make the game frustrating. I have tried multiple things online such as uninstalling and reinstalling the game and xna both of which did not work. I tried to change the affinity in task manager change the priority with nothing. I have found a fix online that relates to downloading a config or something for xna but I cant find the file anymore online only found the fix on forums with no workable link. any help would be amazing
disregard im dumb
open your options and drag the bait to the fishing rod
at the beach, also, you can open your map and hover over the houses to see which house it is and what time it also opens 
Yeah, I found it now! Thank you! 😊
np 

This is the reason, yes. Could probably be fixed by mods, or perhaps make a bug report or throw a tweet at CA.
As for your other issue, I'd suggest removing startup_preferences in %appdata%\StardewValley
Next time you're playing, could you check the core usage in task manager? (Performance Tab, then right click on the CPU graph > Change Graph To > Logical Processors)
Keep an eye on this while you're playing, and see if any of the graphs max out to 100%.
SDV is a single core game, so if it maxes out it means that your machine simply isn't powerful enough.
Another reason could be that a different program is using the same core, more often of the time the perpetrators are Windows update, antivirus scans and automated backups. So make sure you've updated, that your AV isn't doing automatic scans, and your backup is done at inactive times.
does anyone else know of an issue where, if you try to eat in any of the mines (skull cavern, volcano dungeon or normal mines), you get instantly teleported back to the entrance? this only happens occassionally.
@compact kraken I will check but I have a Intel 10600k and it's single core performance is pretty dang good so I don't think this is the problem but I could be wrong...
Hm, yeah, that does sound very unlikely then. Still a good idea to watch performance though, maybe something else is limiting it.
Can't say I've ever heard of that before. Are you sure you're not accidentally using a totem?
yes, i'm sure! it's only ever happened when trying to eat, and i never carry totems with me. also, they only teleport me to the entrance of that mine (for example, the door to the skull cavern) 
Are you using any mods?
nope!
I really can't find anything at all. If you ever have this again, think you can take a short recording of it?
yeah, sure! it's not a super persistent issue, and i'm not to bothered by it, but it's kinda spooky
will update here if it happens again
Thanks!
thanks for the help!
Hi guys! I'm having some trouble with my deluxe scarecrow on the beach map, anyone else? There is a screen shot of the crop that went missing and the coverage (using the mod "Data Layers") of my scarecrows. No crow was seen, the crop just went missing. I'm having this problem in all my beach maps and I honestly don't know what can be causing it. The only mod I have that alters that map is "[CP] Larger Beach Farm" but I don't see how it would impact on the scarecrows function. Also, I have no mods that replace, add or modify scarecrows in any way. Help?
(ps: i didn't mark the missing crop but it is right on the edge of the deluxe scarecrow's range, easy to find on the third image)
I did check the displayed range against the info on wiki and it seems to be right
As far as I'm aware the deluxe scarecrow's range is octagonal? Not roundish? Let me check.
Actually, that wouldn't even matter in this case.
Good question. I can see you have lightning rods, but do you have enough of them? Was there a storm beforehand?
😦 I really can't keep missing crops. I don't get any SMAPI errors and I tryed to verify the file's integrity on steam but it said it was all ok
There wasn't a storm and the crop didn't show up dead. It just disappeared
.....lol
Is invisible courageous crows a thing? lol
The only thing I can think of then is that a weed tried to spawn in that exact spot, and just deleted the crop and couldn't spawn itself because it's tilled land.
AKA, a bug.
How'd you manage that? Can't open the door?
restart the day?
how do I report a bug to be checked?
And stuck

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/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
It's a fairly known bug though, I doubt it'll ever get fixed as its origin is ambiguous, and it'd require CA to invest quite a bit of time to locate it.
@compact kraken you seem to understand way more than me, would you be so gracious to have a quick look at my mod's list and say each ones 100% have nothing to do with it and those who might so I can uninstall them and test?
If you want to, sure. Not super familiar with all the mods out there though.
was that an answer to my bug or Kylon's? Cuz I did a quick search on google and didn't find anyone with the same problem
Your problem. It's just the generic "my crops disappeared" bug that's been reported a lot.
You figured it'd be because of the scarecrow range, but like you said, you saw no crow. And it isn't a dead crop. It's likely a coincidence that it was just on the edge of the deluxe scarecrow.
Well, I'd say you're right but on my other save I was having that problem a lot, so I replaced all my sprinklers (I was using a mod to allow beach sprinklers) with prismatic sprinklers (mod prismatic tools, they work as a lamp and a common scarecrow) and I never had an issue again. Then I tested replacing it all with simple scarecrows and still no problem
the plantation on that save was huge, no kidding, so 2 or 3 crops would disappear per day
That many a day sounds like a mod problem tbh. But the rest of it sounds like confirmation bias. Or perhaps I'm entirely wrong and the rarecrow wiki information is incorrect and not tested well enough.
About mods.. If I'm looking for a problematic one I guess content patch mods can be skipped, right? As they are just assets which are replaced
I'm not sure? I thought content patch mods could also change land/tiles.
wel.. I'll look into it and let you know the result ❤️ thank you!
Someone in #archived-modded-support would be able to give a more definitive answer!
Is the Enricher and pressure nozzle from QI's one time use?
Nope
nope
does this mean i cant get the achievments?
You can always trigger the achievements again through Smapi.
how?
i am so confused
Do you have Smapi installed?
yes
Then if you want to trigger the achievement again, of the achievement you missed out on in steam, type the proper command with the achievement to trigger it again.
where do i type the command?
In the console of Smapi
oh
Having said that, I'm looking for a list of the achievements, but I can't seem to find any other than the 10 mentioned in there.
#archived-modded-support channel can help you better
yeah
I think I found a bug.
Are you using mods?
No
What is your possible bug?
If you just start over, the inventory is full and Willy gives you his fishing rod, you won't get it.
, or is this normal?
@worthy lake
Wdym full?
That there is no more space for other things.
When you start a brand new game?
Mhm
What else is starting in your inv besides the tools and parsnip seeds?
For example, I farmed a lot of wood and stones, and I also had mussels.
Oh so you filled your inv
I'm not entirely sure this is a bug as it has no where to go since it's part of a cutscene

Being active in the discord, taking part in events

Ah, can anyone help me? I just recently wanted to boot up the game since I haven't played since before the big update back in December. It's updated and runs just fine on Steam, but my SMAPI won't load the game, and gives me this error, which I'm not sure what to do with.
https://smapi.io/log/073bbefc8d8f4ca580926c37382f3a9e
First off I'd suggest updating smapi. Newest version is 3.9.2 and you have 3.5.0
Which might immediately solve your issue, but if not, pop back in here.
It does work! So sorry I ... thought I had updated smapi, turns out I.... did not. But thank you!
is there a way to change gender lol i forgot to say female when i setting up and i just started summer lol
Yep, dunno how but you can
you can yes, befriend the wizard to 4 hearts and use the shrine of illusions in his basement
#stardew-valley Would be a great place for these questions 😛 They are very nice and helpful to newer people to stardew
Is this the place to report bugs?
Hmm I wonder if someone knows lol
Corrin said how 😛
Cause I was like why are they saying MR 
yeah

Console?
Anyone here having a problem where your computer chasing randomly because of the game?
I guarantee you it's not stardew then lol
other game is working fine
Unless one of your files is super corrupted
only stardew makes my computer crash
It's been working fine for like an hour but then after that it just started crashing randomly.
@compact kraken Hey uh... this seems right up your alley Malibloo...
I can't find any fix online
Malibloo is our resident tech expert it seems 😛 I think they will know more if they are still online 
Sure sure i can wait thank you
I have two 10% crit chance rings and 50% from the level up talent, but I still rarely ever crit
how does it work in this game
I have just about equal hardware as you, except ryzen 5 2600 and 1660ti and I've never had the game crash my computer or crash itself
Jfc that's so small
that is
I got Intel i9 9900k Rx 5700 XT i don't think that it's my hardware
a very small amount lol, well thanks
Just in case have you tried verifying the game files? That's the only thing that comes to my mind is something is really corrupted in them somehow
Yup I already did that
What's the exact problem, Stardew crashes YOUR pc? Or does SDV crash?
Interesting, infuriating, but interesting.
Been playing Warzone for a couple of hours now but that thing doesn't happen
Do you know how to check your event viewer log?
Sorry I dont
Right, so, press window, type in event viewer; or part of it until it shows up. Then on the lefthand side open up Windows Logs > System. Then try to find the time where your computer crashed.
Been talking to Ape. Check the event viewer and no Stardew Valley error inside
im kinda having a bit of trouble with single joycon support on the switch
whenever i connect one joycon in the change grip order menu then go to stardew again, the game wants me to connect both controllers
Stardew no longer supports single joycon!
awh that sucks😅
You're mostly looking for big errors, not specifically anything related to Stardew, system event logs look at the computer suddenly rebooting, which can be caused by a very deep error cause by maybe a faulty .net framework.
can PS4 players play online with xbox 1 players?
Nah
dang
When is the switch version getting patched, the north of ginger island is still invisible
the patch is currently in approval process, we dont have a fixed date for when it will be out on switch
Not sure if this is the correct section. My computer crashed in the middle of a game. The save file is present, I checked. The game states that the save file is not there. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Are you using mods?
I am having issues with the mobile version
This is the 2nd time Im gonna post this
The friendship logo is bugged out in the mobile port
Hope this will get fixed soon
I am in the current version of the mobile port ios
I dont think my save file is bugged out
Cuz overall, the game is working fine
How do I transfer saves from another computer without Steam Cloud?
I made a backup and tried copying the saves folder but the saves don't appear
Oh nvm I don't think it finished transferring data so I'll have to try again later
alright so im having an issue with the game. I used a save editor on a co-op world, so whenever i try and start it, it either crashes or it resets the game back to the title
im thinking i might have overloaded the world with what i put in it, but i didnt happen when i did the same with a single player world.
is there something you need to do to unlock the quest to check out the community centre
its now saturday and nothings triggered
or does rain impact it? it was raining on the friday
I've been having an issue with my game. Whenever I start it up on Steam it'll say "running" on Steam for a couple of seconds and then nothing. The game works on my old laptop, but that thing's old and falling apart
does it load after some time?
it also happens to my laptop but it's understandable since it's specs are pretty load, but after some time, it loads the game fine 
My PC never loads the game. My laptop loads it no problem
Have you checked this: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch
Also have you tried verifying your files on steam?
ayyyooooo installing .Net framework and XNA framework fixed it
pretty sure animation cancelling doesn't work on any platform other than pc
I experienced a bug where I was in co-op. Then I triggered the mine cutscene with Marlon. Then my friend, the host, triggered the Community Center cutscene. After the cutscenes, I was spawned outside the area map inside the level 0 of the mines...?
More or less a known bug. Double cutscenes cause players to warp, only way to deal with it is to pass out. :c
is it normal that on steam that none of your achivements show up? i have 50hrs of the game and i know that i have achievements but its currently saying it have 0?
Do you use mods?
Thanks
nope, no mods at all
Do you play with steam overlay active? Are you using smapi, if you are using smapi are you using steam to launch the game?
im just using steam to load the game
i play on co-op and the person i play with has achivements but i am the host
Do you play in offline mode or something?
nope im online
If you press shift tab the overlay comes up?
nope
If you open up the properties in steam is the top checkbox enabled?
Yeah
If that's enabled, but you still don't have a steam overlay, that'd likely imply that either the game is launched the wrong way, or something in steam is broken and it needs to be reinstalled.
How do you launch the game, just hitting the play button from inside steam?
Yeah, i just play through steam. I'll unable it and renable it to see if it works
Can someone help me?
Do you have a backup to the unedited save?
I think I do, but I dont know how to create it
How to create it? I don't follow.
So, the first I presume you want to do is getting it to work again so you don't lose your save, so if you have a backup somewhere, restore it and see if it works.
Second would be helping you with whatever changes you wanted to make on your save without it breaking this time.
So what do you mean with you don't know how to create it?
So I have the saves loaded, but I dont know how to create a backup.
I was just getting into the save editor as well
Is this the save that works, or the edited save that doesn't?
The edited save that doesn't. And it's a co-op world
So you do not have a backup of an old unedited save?
Or if you haven't passed a single day yet, you could probably get the _old save files as backup (which are from a day back).
I dont think I do
I havent been able to play since I edited it
Well, in that case we're going to have to carefully undo what you did, which I hope you remember.
Alright, do I just put things back the way they were?
If you still know exactly what you did, yep.
What exactly were you trying to edit in the save, if I might ask?
Just give myself better tools and a little more money as our progress was going extremely slow
And you used a text editor for this, or some specific tool?
It's a specific save editor. I installed a save editor mode which worked on my single player world
Which mod/mode?
The game lags on my computer... Does any performance enhancing mod exist?
Is this the right place to ask this question?
I'd sooner ask for mods in #archived-modded-support , but if you want troubleshooting in getting it to work better vanilla-wise here's the right place.
Vanilla wise are there any tips?
Could check to see where the bottleneck is, like keeping an eye on the Performance tab in task manager (make sure to set the graphs to single core / logical processors).
Could see if there's any updates to be done, if your antivirus might be scanning, if there's a possible backup going in the background.
Could check what's all running in the background, and disable some of the programs that start at Startup (also a tab in task manager).
Could restart your machine before starting the game and see if that makes any difference.
Yeah I'll do that
Does anyone know why or what kind of mods will cause this?
not sure. try #archived-modded-support maybe? also what’s the mod for the pierre portrait? :0
That's the most Moe Pierre I've ever seen, lol
fr haha. hes the prettiest npc around now 

ok ty, also do you want me to send you the pierre mod in dms
yes please!
I'm having trouble starting the game via steam. I click to start the game, he says running, but it doesn't start! What can I do? Can someone help me?
Yay, my favorite problem!
Do you have Smapi installed?
No! When I tried to start with it, it said that no game folder was found and that is why I deleted the smapi. I have already uninstalled the game and installed it again, I have reinstalled steam, I have checked the integrity of the files and nothing.
Gotcha, means there's something wrong with either XNA Framework, or with the .Net installation.
Lemme fish up a link real quick.
XNA Framework I already downloaded, because I tried for youtube tutorials
Could you install this version of smapi and tell me what the error says? https://discordapp.com/channels/137344473976799233/678284714829807636/813178230402973736
just a minute
Right, my Portuguese isn't that great, but this points out that either your XNA install is corrupt, or one of the things it depends on.
Seeing official sources are still out, could try reinstaling XNA from this link and see if it works: https://filehippo.com/download_microsoft_xna_framework_redistributable/
If not I've another thing that can be tried.
ok
Not sure if this is a thing since I just started playing 5 days ago. I am wondering if we could get a GIF from our SDV character hehehe. I am planning on having a couple pfp with my boyfriend but I would also like to have it animated
It worked! Thank you so much. I was desperate already
imgur/gyazo can capture gifs
Is this a technical question as to how it can be done, or a permission question if it's allowed to have your pfp as game content?
#archived-modded-support is generally the place where people get helped with mod issues, feel free to copy paste it there.

If I launch stardew valley on another computer will my save file that I have on this computer be there?
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
Is the game ever going to be 64bit? 
I'd want to say extremely unlikely, but in all honesty, if CA wants it done, there's ways.
SVEditor-WPF
I'm not sure if this program is up to date, I'm seeing 1.4 compatibility, not 1.5 and likely would break new 1.5 saves.
Editing your money amount can fairly easily be done in a text editor if required. ...giving yourself tool upgrades sounds like it could be easy, but I'm not super sure.
honestly it was easy, but i think its the fact that this particular save editor is out of date and it wasnt able to work with 1.5
thank you for helping me tho.
whats a text editor?
is there a way i can install it?
You can do that with Notepad, a simple program on every windows computer. It'll open up the save as a text file, at which point you use the search function to search for specific "tags" like <money> which contain a value that you can change.
Also pardon the late reply, I was suddenly needed elsewhere.
hate to be that person, but any updates on the blue floor patch for switch?
Update: Switch patch for the blue floor bug and zoom/tile offset issue is in the approval process, and will be out as soon as possible. There will also be another round of patches on all consoles for a few other bugs, including the shaking stones and the mummified bat issue

9155
Blame nintendo's very slow approval process (:

You're not alone. I hope this is the last week of waiting for it tops...
Nintendo has always had a very slow approval process for whatever reason
I gotta respect that. I don't have to like it, but I have to respect it. 
for games other than their own im guessing right
Yep
but if the other consoles already approved it...... 🙃
They have a way faster approval process 😛
Weeks faster tbh
I'm still curious how the new area is going to actually perform on switch because I have a feeling it's not going to do so well. At least inside the mines
ive been playing on ginger island and it's been fine
Have you gone in the mines yet?
what made u think the volcano would be unstable on switch?
oh. i guess i haven't experienced that yet, but i only bought it on switch fairly recently
If you ever play split screen co op it's really bad 😛 The game pretty much freezes when certain guys breathe fire
oof 😬 i haven't played any multiplayer so that's probably why lol
Yeah singleplayer it's mostly fine 😛
this shouldn't be happening should it?
Are you using any mods?
nope
Probably shouldn't be happening then
great[

Hey guys,
if I choose FIsher (lvl. 5). Does it already count for the fishes I sell in the same night?
yes
Since you have mods a better place to ask is #archived-modded-support !
"Each skill has ten levels, and at level 5 and level 10 players will select from one of two Professions to specialize in. These Professions take effect immediately; for example, the Level 5 Fisher specialization will increase the selling price of fish put into the shipping box the previous night."
Strange, if you dumped all your fish in the shipping bin - and on the same night got a new skill your sell calculations should increase accordingly

patch should be any day now
Is anyone sure that this is a mod bug or a vanilla bug?
If you are using mods it's probably a mod bug
In which case #archived-modded-support can help you
Okay
Can any one help me fix this
If you ask over in #archived-modded-support they can. That's 100% a mod doing it
Ok thanks
Just got the game and when i move up and down there's a weird strobing effect
similar to how old Tvs work
seems to only happen in fullscreen which i prefer
Try enabling or disabling vsync
didn't work, guess im just gonna be using borderless fullscreen
I have a bug in the museum where I donated something but my inventory is now full and I can't get out of it, didn't pass out either
Can't get out of it? Just hit escape?
nah
Gonna need more details. Can't toss whatever you're holding on the floor?
Nope, I'm currently in the donation screen
Right, where you click the ok button.
I don't see what a full inventory has anything to do with not being able to close the window?
Screenshot?
Ah, you were using console commands to give you the items to donate, and now you have too many items and it's stuck?
my items cheat was off so I'm not too sure why my inventory is full?
No I was using an unlimited items cheat
I'm afraid there's nothing else to do than restart the day, game wasn't meant to deal with this.
Sorry. :c

I have a question regarding split screen coop, not sure if this is the best channel to ask so pls redirect me if not

Anyone else have that happen?
It might be too late to fix it at this point but I'm just curious what I did wrong to make that happen - if anyone knows, please just give me a ping when you respond. Thanks for your help!
i was wondering if my friend got the game on gog and i have it on steam are we still able to play co-op?
you should be able to I think
Sorry this is probably a dumb question I’ve only played the mobile version and just bought it on switch. Do you not start out with the hammer?
I’m ginger island it’s all blue, is it just a texture glitch or should I restart?

Ight thanks 🙏
Hello there has anybody had a problem with launching the game in steam before. I can't launch the game and I'm a first timer so I have never played it before
Hey, does steam show as if it's launched, but literally nothing happens, then seconds later you're not ingame anymore?
If so, try reinstalling XNA framework. Microsoft's official link is down, so get it from Filehippo: https://filehippo.com/download_microsoft_xna_framework_redistributable/
If that doesn't help there's other things that can be tried.
You mean when you have the setting on split wallets? I'm not super sure, if there's any way to check it'd be directly in the save file, which the host can look into at any point.
Perhaps it's possible at Lewis' place, at the ledger where you also send money to others. If you can't there, I'm not sure where you could.
When you start a save you can tell with how many players you're planning to play, and the game will prepare that many houses, are you saying that the game itself just plopped down a house where there was not one before as you started a local co-op session?
If so, please report it as an official bug.
If you want, it's easy to fix, just get it removed at Robin's.

@compact kraken When I launch the game the preparing for launch window pops up then goes away and then it just stops. I have done many different methods and one is the microsoft xna method but not a single thing changed.
Did you do it from that link specifically? Because I've noticed there's different locations where people can get a corrupted XNA install.
Or outright an older version.
If not it's probably a good idea to install Smapi, so we'll know what's going wrong. There's a special smapi right now that'll even help with debugging what's going wrong, lemme get the link...
Let me know if you need help installing that.
I just installed the microsoft XNA from the link and the same problem appeared. I will try to donwnload smapi
when playing on multiplayer, is there an option so you don't have to put in an invite code every time you join? my friend hosted one before and i never had to keep entering the codes, but when i hosted one for my friend and i, he has to put one in every time. is there a way to fix this?
Just right click on your friend in steam and select "Join Game"?
In local coop with slipt screen is a way to make the second player control the keyboard?
I have now put the files that was inside the internals folder into the game files, what do I do now?
Hi I was having this problem last night about not being able to get the invite code but everything in ! mphelp didn’t work and I honestly have no clue how to fix it
im having an issue with the games files, can anyone help?
Did you run the "install on windows"? If so, read what the screen says at the end. Alternatively, just start StardewModdingAPI.exe, and take a screenshot of the error and pop it in here.
!ask
@harsh jasper Feel free to ask your question or describe your issue here, and someone will help if they can :)
It just opens a prompt in a milisecond then closes
Which of the two?
Just the install on windows file
If you already tried everything in mphelp, and possibly also everything in here https://www.stardewvalley.net/multiplayer-troubleshooting-guide/, then all you can do at this point is keep restarting and hope for the best.
I accidentally opened the games files with the notepad, and I'm wondering if there's any way to revert it so it acts like I never actually opened it that way. I tried reverting it back through the properties but it didn't work.
It just... goes away? Doesn't give you this screen or anything?
Yes when I first opened it it just closed immidetly
In steam, right click the game, hit properties, then Local files (on the left) and Verify integrity of game files.
And you extracted the contents of the file you downloaded into the Stardew Valley installation folder?
Am I supposed to put the entire folder in their or just the files in the internal folder?
I'll link you the instructions. https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows
still didn't work, all notepads
Oh, you mean the issue is that it's opening things in notepad now? That's a windows setting.
is that why its like that?
Right click one of those files that open like that, properties, then in the properties near the top it says "Opens with", and you can select what you want to open the file with. It simply registers on windows what application should be used when you open .xnb files.
There's no harm in having them open in notepad, but you can't really do anything with the files either, that's just how they're supposed to look like as text. (It's compiled code/data after all)
oh, alright. thanks
I don't think the game has an innate ability for this (is there a way to rebind the keys for P2?). But maybe there's a third party program that can create controller inputs on the keyboard?
Things suddenly went very fast, hope everyone got replied to..
The instructions tell me to open the windows.bat file in the unzipped folder but the only bat file I have is the install on windows but when I double click that a command prompt just pops up in a milisecond and then closes.
yep
The thing is that when i went through the methods in the troubleshooting guide they recommended to delete the startup prefrences but I don't even have that file on my computer in the %appdata% folder.
Yeah, because you haven't run the game yet, so it hasn't been made yet.
yeah that's what I was guessing
So just to make it clear, you unzipped the files into \Steam\SteamApps\common\Stardew Valley\
Which now has a folder called SMAPI 3.9.2-alpha.20210221 installer (Windows only), inside the folder you have the install on Windows.bat which opens for a split second and does nothing?
Just to make sure I'm going to do it again
Yep
Still happening
Could you right click the .bat file and hit Edit?
yes
At the bottom just add in pause and save the file, then close the text editor again. Then try to run it once more.
ok so now it opened and just says press any key to continue like it normally does
Nothing else?
nope
Do you have an antivirus?
when I run it as an adminstrator it just says windows cannot find ./internal/windows-install.exe
yes i have Antivirus
Ah, well, your antivirus it messing it up somehow. Disable it temporarily, then take it from the top with download, extracting, etc.
You did also extract the internal folder from the zip file, right?
It unzips with the main folder yes
Cool, then like I said, disable AV, unzip it again.
You can check inside the internal folder to see if the windows-install.exe still exists after extracting.
The windows-install.exe file is still there and when I now started the .bat file the same thing happened where the prompt just closed in a second
Should I do the same thing with the pause command again?
You could try, but there's definitely something going wrong, not entirely sure what.
this is what it says inside the edit notepad: @echo off
echo %~dp0 | findstr /C:"%TEMP%" 1>nul
if not errorlevel 1 (
echo Oops! It looks like you're running the installer from inside a zip file. Make sure you unzip the download first.
pause
) else (
start /WAIT /B ./internal/windows-install.exe
)
Yeah, the bat file is fine.
ok
For some reason it's not finding the windows-install.exe ...and if you can see it's there, refreshed the folder and everything, then I can't really figure out what's going bad. The only thing I can think of is rebooting the pc first. Otherwise it's going to be a manual smapi installation.
Alright, manual it is. There's instruction to do a manual installation in the README file.
am I supposed to put the entire internal folder of files into the game files or just the windows-install.dat file?
You're supposed to extract the .dat file. The README gives direct instructions on how to do it.
What the heck is goin on with this doods computer
Eventually you'll need to have the StardewModdingAPI.exe in the same folder as Stardew Valley.exe
ok so it seems that I am done
Can you start up StardewModdingAPI.exe now?
...I swear if this thing pops up and closes again.
nope I did something wrong literally nothing happens when I press it
Maybe it's a good idea if I watch what you do on a screenshare?
No mic needed, unless wanted.
Alternatively, maybe this is the issue. Among the things you tried, have you also tried repairing .net Framework?
ty i'll look is there is something there
Yes but the thing is that I recently changed the windows boot drive to my ssd so it's faster and I've had some issues with other games along the way but not like this.
But I still have some games on the hdd
changed boot drive?
Yes?
I used the mobo bios and reinstalled windows onto the ssd with the existing key I had on my hdd
New SSD, fresh install, kept everything on the old drive, including the old windows installation?
I may have I'm not certain
Is there a Windows.old on your old drive?
is that a file?
Or... just Windows?
Nah, a folder.
I have a lot of different windows folder, windowsapps, windows, $WINDOWS.~BT and others
On the old hard drive? Not the new ssd one?
on both
Question: When friend try to install smapi, windows defender immediatly pops up and puts it in quarantine. Is there a solution to this?
Right. Small tip for next time; which might just happen sooner than later due to things being messed up, you should only have 1 Windows installation. The fact that you still have the old one means your programs are being mixed and matched between the old windows and the new windows, and things break very quickly.
Temporarily disable windows defender, or add an exception.
Yeah I have noticed I have been thinking of wiping everything on the old drive but haven't had the energy
He can't disable the windows defender
For example I haven't been able to install the discord app and have only been using the discord on the browser after hours of trying to fix that too
While I can completely understand not wanting to, this is likely the cause of many current problems and cause a bunch in the future. If I were in your situation I'd back up everything that you'd want to keep, from both your SSD and your old HDD, then wipe the HDD, and do a clean install of windows on your SSD.
Are they on Windows 10?
Yes
Yep I have been thinking of that too. Any tips on how to back up files I want to keep cuz I only have like 5 files I want to keep.
Mobile hard drive, usb stick, maybe even google drive.
Have them open up Windows security, go to Virus & Threat protection, then click Manage Settings under Virus & threat protection settings then near the bottom at Exclusions Add or Remove exclusions
Add the folder where smapi needs to be installed, then try again.
Thanks! I will do this cleanup and I want to thank you for your time and effort for trying to fix this for me and I very much appriciate it. Hope you have a Good Rest of your weekend.
No problem. Sorry I couldn't give you a straight fix, I'm afraid that the way things were, fixing your problem would've been close to fixing your entire windows installation manually. x)
He then gets another error from other defender so he can't play with mods with the newest SMAPI. He could with the old one.
...sorry, other Defender?
AVG
Ah, yeah, you can disable that one. I'm starting the question if they got the right smapi download though?
Did they download it from either nexus or smapi.io?
Tried both
Weird, does it still not work when you temporarily disable avg?
He would rather not disable it ^_^'
That's weird, but even then, I'm sure that AVG can also add exception rules.
can anyone put the gems on the pedestals in the cave thing next to leo's hut on switch? it won't let me place them so i cant get the 5 walnuts and they are the only ones i have left.
Are you using mods?
nope is on console
I have donated all items to the museum but I dont have the stardrop or the achievement
I’m in switch and I was able to do it fine

I didnt follow krobus when I was supposed to get the thing for the secret notes, now im on fall of year 2. Any suggestions?
Follow the footsteps
either I i missed the boosh, or I dont see the footsteps
just click on the bushes around to the water fountain next to the community center
If i wanted to edit my save data can I ask my question here?
Sure
I clicked all of the bushes and nothing. I dont see the footsteps either
You sure you don't have the magnifying glass in your wallet already?
Hi guys, anyone here play on steam? I just created a new save using a mod to allow more than 4 players, we were playing fine till the day that we talk to the wizard and opens up the community center bundles, the spring foraging bundle was already completed and we didn’t donate anything, anyone now how could I fix this glitch?
I'm sorry where do I go to get help with modding game play? I've been using mods for days and for some reason today it doesn't even attempt to run my mods.
Ask in #archived-modded-support
Thank you!
Tks
Thank you for your help! I didn't realize I could demolish the extra house so that's what we did. Idk why it spawned in the first place, all I did was like choose coop, split screen, then add the second player once I was in my game. Anyways, thank you!!!
have a manner to create a world co-op with 4 players?
So my boyfriend and I are on a co-op farm, using the stardew valley expanded mod. we just rebuilt pams house and this uhhh is happening. This is the community center, and pams house is glitched in half (i did ask in mods too)
Umm so I just wanted to ask but, i got the owl statue spawning on my farm twice, is that suppose to happen? I read somewhere that its suppose to only happen once
This is 100% a mod bug
nope that’s normal! chances for buffed too iirc
When making the world just select 3 extra cabins! Or if you are already in game build them at robins
thanks
is there anywhere else to get help besides the using mods group? because it seems my question is just getting swept away
Since you have mods not really, just keep poking your question
Oh okay, thank you
Hi guys, my friend is getting an error that says theres a base loop update issue and I'm not sure how to fix that? I think it might be a mod issue but I'm not sure and the mod support chat is busy right now 😅

Wdym?
nope. Im on phone
You can get mods on android 😉
I have a spring seed and i plant them... Some of them grow and some of them turned brown
nvm I just slept
Did you miss watering them?
I think so... J can't check because i have egg festival rn
If they look like that, very confusingly they are one of the spring crops
that's normal. they will grow
I tried once but I failed terribly lol
Hehe yeah I completely forgot they did it, it's thrown me off majorly too

Well I at least think I watered them in reality I probably missed one hehe
You mean luck? There's no effect on donating (what would it affect?), but I do think it affects few ways of getting artifacts, like getting more geodes, gem spawns in the mines, etc.
I play co-op with my friend, and on a couple occasions we've mistimed things and fallen asleep in ||the cinema|| which completely breaks the game every time 😩

I don't have an account on that forum, is there a different way to report the bug?
Ahhh, that sucks. And I'm afraid not. It's up to your leisure. If you won't I'm sure another person will, if it's not already reported.
Looks like something wrong with the database. funny because other pages are fine
There are no wiki admins (afaik) so just gotta wait
Seems like it's back up again?
Only certain pages aren't working like Haley and Emily

Ah, I was on the old wiki. You can still find the pages there, not sure if they're entirely up to date: https://stardewcommunitywiki.com/Haley
hi there, my game keeps crashing when i hover over this item in my menu that couldn't be clicked on. would you mind helping me?
heyy x) my baby aged up in my vanilla multiplayer server and it is now a purple rectangle.. i googled the issue already but only found one person in a forum with the same issue and they were referred to this server.. sooo anyone has an idea how to fix it?
Should be fixed in the next patches
ah i see okay:D and thanks

It appears to be back up, but if you're still having issues you can certainly mention them on the wiki: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Stardew_Valley_Wiki:Admin_noticeboard

Huh, same.
Again, just refer to the old wiki: https://stardewcommunitywiki.com/Haley

On Switch, "Dark Sign" doesn't appear in the Crafting Menu after receiving Krobus letter. Looks like this glitch hasn't been reported on Discord yet, but a few players have reported it on Reddit.
You should check that it's reported on the forums 😛
hey does anyone know if there is a mod that tells you when the traveling trader is in town?
Does anyone know what to do when your game won't start on a fresh download? I had played the game before but I just re-downloaded it today and it doesn't want to launch.
Oh! I'm launching it from steam by the way
I saw a screenshot a while back that seemed to do this, I'd suggest asking in #archived-modded-support they'll know.
Is steam showing you're playing it so like 5 seconds, and the game not showing up at all?
Yup! it's the weirdest thing
There's plenty of possible reasons why it doesn't work, but I suggest reinstalling XNA first, this link seems to work for people (the official location isn't currently working): https://filehippo.com/download_microsoft_xna_framework_redistributable/
I actually just tried that and it still doesn't seem to be working
From that specific link? Because people have reinstalled it with faulty installers before.
I just tried it earlier today from that link but I suppose I can try it again
Nah, if you have that's cool. Side question, do you have any other games with issues, and have you recently reinstalled windows?
Not that I know of. As for windows, I haven't reinstalled anything but I think I have an update I need to do
Alrighty, could you install smapi? For the purpose of being able to see errors.
I thought I have to run the game first before installing smapi, right?
Technically yes, but this'll help troubleshooting, as smapi will tell us what's going wrong before your machine attempts to start SDV. In fact, if possible, could you install this version? It gives more details. https://discordapp.com/channels/137344473976799233/678284714829807636/813178230402973736
Alrighty I'll give it a shot
hmm it doesn't seem to be working
OH WAIT! it's working now 🙂
Jsut like that? Okay then. x)
Haha very odd but at least it's working now! Maybe it didn't like me trying to launch it from steam
okay so me and a friend are playing multiplayer, we're in skull caverns, playing modded, but none of our mods should affect what's happening, i keep getting random prismatic shards popping out of nowhere out of walls and stuff, and now this has happened. they're IN the walls, off the playable map, can anyone help explain this?
Would definitely go to #archived-modded-support and also get a log maybe.
okay thank you
Help? The right GUI in co-op are not in the cameras view
my little siblings are having some crashing when playing split-screen 2 players. No mods. I've taken a look at the three error files and all three are "Message: The scissor rectangle is invalid. The scissor rectangle cannot be larger than or outside of the current render target bounds.", so I think it's probably some kind of resolution issue. They were running windowed mode and then hitting full screening. I notice that the resolution selector in options is greyed out (1260x1024) - would switching to full screen or windowed borderless be sufficient, or is there a way to edit a config file somewhere to correct the resolution?
I'd probably try messing around with the resolution/windowed mode settings?.
For anyone who plays on Switch, is there any cut content? Is everything that is in PC/Linux vanilla 1.5 in the Switch ver. as well?
Switch/all consoles only has two player splitscreen vs PC's 4
(Switch) Is Ginger island still usable without the update to fix everything? My boyfriend and I unlocked it but we’ve been waiting to play until it’s fixed so we don’t miss anything.
I believe so? Though it kinda takes away from the experience 😛
I had significant lag/stuttering when playing couch co-op on the PS4. It happened when we encountered the dinosaurs for the first time in the skull cavern., especially when they breathed fire. Is there a solution to this?
It happens on all consoles it seems 😛
Totally usable just annoying to look at. And there are certain markings on the ground you can’t see but you can still do a lot
So I'm playing on PC, and whenever I click on "join co-op", it turns to a quarter-screen display. How do I make it not do that?
that button is for split-screen local coop. are you trying to play online multiplayer with someone?
For users having problems accessing wiki pages, the workaround is to add ?action=purge to the end of the url (hit enter), then click "ok" to purge cache. The page should display normally, even if you are logged out.
Any idea when they might fix the ginger island switch bug?
The bug has been pushed through to nintendo. At this point it's in nintendos hand to approve the bug patch
Ok thanks
i've just started playing stardew and I was excited for the egg event but then this pops up and just skips the whole event I dont't know what to do to fix it
If you post your log in #archived-modded-support they can help you since you have mods!
kk i'll do that
this is a small glitch and i just wanted to put it out somewhere. It was raining in summer and i went to talk to ||Leo (outside of his house), but his text was him saying he was happy you were back on the island even though i was in the valley||
Has anyone else noticed a glitch on the switch where the grid of open spots you can place items in the museum becomes disorientated after changing your zoom/UI? I have also noticed other small glitches like the exclamation point that appears when fishing is way out in the water
If your ui scale/zoom are equal numbers it should be good
Hmmm I will have to check that. I know when I originally changed them i was in the secret forest fishing and I couldn't see the bottom half of the bar so I just put it back to normal and it fixed that issue, but the other two stuck around. Its not a huge issue I just thought I would see if it was just me
I "fixed" the split screen co-op by switching to windowed mode and maximizing
I bought the game on steam, but would like to just.. run it from the folder .exe without going through steam. But nothing happens when I click on the application file. Is steam a must?
How do i retrieve my account? I got session failed and it wiped my character and is now showing me at 0 gold, 0 time played.
Pretty much
I was told on fb you could help me
Ok.. so it opens the game now but didn't allow co-op (no coffee option) when I don't run through steam 🤷
is there a way to not require the host to play in order to have a co-op online
Pc?
Yeah it uses the steam servers
No on xbox one
my game crashed mid game and when i reloaded it my world was gone, it is coop world and ive tried all the troubleshooting tactics on the website, its not working
can someone review my file or help me ;-;
People keep telling me to update my smapi
yes current version is 3.9.2
But the other person I asked told me that over 3.8.0 is compatible with version 1.5 of Star Dubely, so I wanted to get it down there.
I don't know much about this. I don't know how to behave. Help me, sir.
i’m not sure. i would recommend updating it to the latest version just to make sure. don’t forget to update all your mods too.
So, um, do you have the latest version of stardew valley? (1.5.4)
The SMAPY version 3.9.2 is up-to-date.
do you have any mods installed? If they aren’t compatible with the current version then it may give you an error :(
Oh, I see.
The modes that are installed now are tractor mode, 10 people can enter, fishing mode, etc.
We're using modes that make the game easier.
I'm thinking about deleting all the mods and re-installing them.
If this happens, there's an error... Is it on?
good idea. i’m not sure what you mean by that last question though
Oh! I think there was an error in the translator.
If you delete all the modes and reinstall them,
I was asking if the game is getting weird or if there is an error!
sorry, still confused
hope reinstalling fixes the issue though!
Yeah domt think there is a way on xbox
No, there are currently no dedicated servers. Doubtful if that'll ever happen. I'd suggest having the person who's online the most host the farm.
is it just me or does the code change every time the host logs on and off?
Yes, the code changes each session. If you don't want to bother with that, I'd suggest just right clicking on their name in steam and joining game through there.
Im on mobile, the app crashes when I go into the museum. Any ways I could fix that?
so i'm currently dealing with what i think is a bug. i can't pick up a crab pot because it says i have a full inventory even when i don't, anybody know how to fix this?
hmm... is there anything in the crab pot?
nope, i'm going to put bait into it and see if maybe after that i can pick it up
i mean, you can’t pick it up if there’s bait in it. are you on p.c.? any mods?
pc and no mods
i'm going to put bait in it, wait for the crab, then see if i can remove it.
ah gotcha. that’s a good idea, if it doesn’t work then yeah i’d report it as a bug 
I am playing local co-op with my partner on the Switch and we are pretty consistently (once every few minutes) a 2-3 second period where the game freezes. Is anyone else experiencing this and if so, is there any known temporary fix?
Unless CA can heavily optimize the game not really any fix
Gotcha. Do you happen to know if this is a Switch only issue, or does it occur on all platforms?
hi, where can i find the back-up game files again on steam?
I've seen this bug reported before, people say it fixes itself over time, but there doesn't seem to be a direct way to fix it.
Back up files of what? Your saves?
!saves
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
cool thanks
I've only really heard of it happening on switch due to the hardware
thanks for the info !
Are you using mods? Have you tried reinstaling the game? If you are going to reinstall your game, be careful with your save files, they might be removed, so back them up manually first.
Thanks! I am trying to figure out whether it's worth abandoning my save on the Switch (we have about 60 hours logged) vs buying it for the PS4 and starting over. : /
I suggest pc if you can 😛 But ps4 would do, switch isn't bad besides the stuttering though
Ha! PC would definitely be the best option, but we don't have our main PC connected to our TV. 🙂 If PS4 has no stuttering, I'm seriously considering starting over there. Only problem is that we are playing 6-8 hour sessions and the PS4 controllers lose battery after 4. : /
With pc you can use switch controllers if you have bluetooth 😉
That's true. And I am sure that the game performs best on PC.
I placed a prairie king arcade next to my bed where the space statue is now and I went to use it from my bed side and it destroyed itself. Is there a way to get another Prairie King Arcade System? (PS4)
I've been looking around some, and it seems that there's no ingame bug or way that'd allow you to get it again. The only way would be save editing, and I'm not sure how possible that'd be.
Well thx, I will have to revert to last backup
Where can I report bugs also :)
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/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
If i want to play this game with my gf can i family share the game and then play together?
Steam's family share keeps your account in use when someone else is playing a game you own. The short answer is no.
Thats unfortunate
on mobile yes steam no
Is the split screen function useable without the expierence being bad?
On pc the experience is great
Can i connect a ps4 controller and keyboard and mouse?
You sure can!
I was just talking about the split screen experience on Switch. We are in our second year and our farm is getting more crowded. We are starting to see pretty frequent freezing issues.
Thank you
I am trying to render a farm for the four corners farm on the Stardew Valley Planner V2 but it keeps saying: Upload.farm rendering failed. Please try again in few minutes. If the problem persists, please contact us.
can anyone help me?
hi guys i just downloaded the game on steam and it wont launch
i tried everything that was told online
even deleted and reinstalled both the game and steam
please help me
I'm afraid we specifically can't help you with that here. But perhaps ping @hpeinar to let them know.
Have you tried reinstalling XNA? And if so, where from?
i'm on mac
That's... interesting.
Can't say I have any experience with that, could I ask what you've all tried? And just to clarify, you're running Steam on a normal macOS system with the normal mac version of Steam that has SDV installed?
I lost one of my statues that come from the secret boxes, the pink lemonade one. How can I get it back? It got destroyed by weeds btw
PC?
I have a problem
!ask
Feel free to ask your question or describe your issue here, and someone will help if they can :)
kk
my problem: i play on nintendo switch lite, and i want quite a few people to join (4, that being the max and all), but only people with a normal nintendo switch, not lite edition, can Join.
i have followed the guide, it didnt work
i looked for answers on redit, didnt work
i also asked the staff of chucklefish, they said they didnt know
Tbh that may be a weird nintendo thing
Any specific reason it doesn't work?
i lost like 2 days worth of game progress and i need help fixing it? so i changed my money value in the game file (only on the new game file, not the one that says _old) would that have made me lose progress or no?
Editing a save file shouldn't make you lose progress. Don't suppose steam popped up with a message asking you if you wanted to use the cloud files or local ones?
no it never showed me that
Then I'm not sure. Did your money get changed even though you lost progress?
it changed to the original amount i had before
Then it's likely that your save from the steam cloud overwrote your current save, normally it's supposed to give a message box that'll ask you if it should overwrite.
Not too sure on how to avoid that from happening, but with any manner of editing saves you should always make a backup first.
alright thank you!
Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the steam cloud synchronizes upon starting up the game. So if you start the game (leave it at the main menu), then edit the save (don't forget a backup) and then load your save, it'll likely work flawlessly.
Is anyone having an issue with the music just not playing continuously
I don't think it's supposed to
Dear god I hope it's like that because :) I downloaded a bunch of mods (SDE specifically) and I noticed that the music wasn't playing as much anymore hhhng
I don't want to break my game :(
Music is the thing you should be worried least about 😛
Hi, I was just wondering if there is a limit to how many save files you can have in game 
Everything else seems to be working well. No errors thus far
I'm not sure if it's different per platform but I know on pc I had around 20 saves for testing
And because I was too lazy to sit there and delete them
Nice
I was gonna make a save for my mum to play 
i have two questions
why i can't paint my barn and why i can't i delete my shiping ben so i can put my new where i want it
You should just be able to move the shipping bin
this is probably a silly question, apologies, i’ve only been playing for a week
i was fishing and a number saying “228/270” came up on screen. does this mean something?
That's your energy.
ahhhh, ty!
You probably moused over it accidentally at some point.
ah, i didn’t know, thanks!!
Yup!
still figuring out this whole game haha
Hello, I'm not sure if this belongs here but when I go to ginger island and walk up the whole area turns blue, does anyone know why or how to fix this?
!blueground
I'm aware of the "blue ground" bug on consoles... We're investigating it, and after it's figured out it will be fixed in a patch. Fortunately it only seems to happen in one specific area, and is only a visual bug. (This message brought to you by Joja Bluu)

As soon as nintendo gets it through their approval process it will be out
So just checking, the music doesn't loop and just kinda cuts out and doesn't come back sometimes right
Because I really like the music :,)
Yep
Bet
If you change areas music will pick back up
Theyre killing me! I just want to enjoy the island in all its majesty on my switch lol
can anyone help me get my world back, i have the game files but one is corrupted and i dont understand how to recover the world
