About me not being able to delete the old saves is because it doesn't show, the screen looks like it's on a larger scale.

compact kraken
#

Are you running it in an emulator or something? I can't say I've heard of issues like these before.

hexed apex
#

He is playing through Steam on the Computer without an emulator.

#

If you want I can send a picture of the language option on top of the exit

inland nexus
#

I feel pretty crazy, but

#

Oops, hit enter too soon

#

I used to be able to play the game in some resolution that began with 3000, even though my monitor maxes out at 2560x1440

#

and I accidentally unplugged my monitor and now the game's max resolution is 2560x1440 and everything looks way more zoomed in than it did before

#

no idea why this happened

#

is there a way to force the game to go to a higher resolution? I essentially just want it to be more zoomed out, but my zoom level is already as low as it will go and it still looks way larger than it did before

hexed apex
#

The story is similar, the screen of my cousin's laptop broke and he bought a monitor, the monitor is 1024x768, before it was 1366x768, and before the scale of the Stardew Valley was normal, then after the monitor it gave the problems that I said.

There's a page in the wiki on lost saves.. might help https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Save_disappeared_or_doesn.27t_load

Stardew Valley Wiki
Saves

The game saves progress when the in-game day ends, i.e., when the farmer goes to bed, collapses from exhaustion, or collapses at 2am. All progress during a day is lost if the player quits the game without ending the day. In multiplayer, the game saves after all players click through the prompts at end of day and wake up in the morning.

If you have mods on and you are going to play with another person, do they need to download all the same mods as you?

worthy lake
#

If the mods add any content whatsoever yes

strong marlin
#

Oh okay, thank you!

deft stag
#

So I know there is cross platform to an extent

#

but can I play PC with my friend on the Switch

worthy lake
#

Nope

#

The only cross platform is steam to gog on pc

deft stag
#

ah

#

and there is not crossplatform account transfer than i'd assume

worthy lake
#

Nope

deft stag
#

if I start a town can my friend join later on PC

worthy lake
#

Yep, as long as you have an extra cabin when they want to join

deft stag
#

How many save files are there, I really want to start the farm with a friend but she wont get a pc until her moms back

worthy lake
#

On pc? Dunno if there is really a limit

deft stag
#

I would totally buy it on switch but their have a subscription for multiplayer

worthy lake
#

It's the cheapest out there

#

It's ~$20 a year vs xboxes like 60 or 70

#

If I bought SDV on an android phone, shouldn’t I be able to play it on my android tablet? The Play store is asking me to buy it again

worthy lake
#

Are you sure it's the same account?

worldly hedge
#

Yep

worthy lake
#

Hmmm, you shouldn't have to re buy it

worldly hedge
fringe isle
#

Is there a downloads tab

#

Like, showing all the things you’ve downloaded previously?

worldly hedge
#

Yep, it showed there too

#

I just got it fixed, had to remove my account from the second device and then re-activate it

fringe isle

Ah

when sdv says connection failed for multiplayer is it a wifi thing?

#

How do i set up a splitscreen farm on the switch? It doesnt seem like my gf has the option to create her character

Ok so if I started the world solo

#

I can still make it co-op

hey guys

#

I'm trying to dowload SMAPI

Having trouble getting the "mystery of the stardrops" achievement on xbox

worthy lake
#

Hmmm, and you think you have them all?

#

You should have 508 energy iirc

crimson kayak
#

Yeah

#

I do

worthy lake
#

Well

#

Tbh, I'm not sure what you would do on xbox

crimson kayak
#

Idk either

worthy lake
#

Maybe it's bugged? I'm not really sure

crimson kayak
#

I think it comes in really late idk

compact kraken
#

Definitely bugged, and without being able to edit the save, no fix for it. :/
This should definitely be addressed in some patch though. Seems to be happening a lot.

crimson kayak
#

Yeah

compact kraken
#

I'm guessing it's the same issue as on the PC, where the mines stardrop gets bugged somehow

worthy lake
#

I forget, but was it the mummified bat people were saying is super bugged and impossible to find?

crimson kayak
#

I found it

worthy lake
#

Yeah, I've found ~7 or 8, but can't find the snake vertebrae, I think it has a chance of one just not wanting to spawn

crimson kayak
#

Artifact spots?

worthy lake
#

Ye, they don't want to spawn on the western side for me

crimson kayak
#

Maybe just unlucky

worthy lake
#

I think my gf and I found one total in ~34 days of watching the beach/farm spots

compact kraken
#

I took 3 seasons to find 2.

#

With an empty farm to boot to get more artifact chances.

worthy lake
#

Anyone know if you can cloud sync game saves across devices on android?

We have our answer but why?

worthy lake
#

crimson kayak
#

Yeah

#

Claimed it

#

That was the last one

worthy lake
#

Did you get the one that's in the secret woods?

crimson kayak
#

Sweet gem berry yep

worthy lake
#

Married?

crimson kayak
#

Yeah 14 hearts and done

worthy lake
#

Welp.. I'd say it's def bugged...

crimson kayak
#

Yeah

worthy lake
#

That honestly sucks :c

crimson kayak
#

Ik

#

I want to 100% this game

worthy lake
#

Hopefully by the time you get closer on other things a patch will be out to fix it :c

crimson kayak
#

True but will it give me the achievement 🤔

worthy lake
#

I hope so SDVpuffersweats

#

On xbox there isn't really a way to fix broken achievements like you can on pc

crimson kayak
#

Me too

#

Yeah

#

It sucks

compact kraken
#

It shouldn't be hard for CA to program a double check on the stardrops. Compare total count versus total energy, then see if there's any stardrops uncollected. Heck, could make it so that it only does this when checking the tracker as well.
Really doesn't have to be a complicated fix, and this would also retroactively fix past broken saves.
...same goes for Golden Walnuts btw.
I can only imagine how many people are running into this issue that aren't on discord.

worthy lake
#

I think my gf and my save on her switch is screwed for wallnuts, one I shook the tree and it bounced up and we were never sure if it counted or not. But neither of us remember hearing the sound or seeing it after it went up SDVpuffersweats

SDVpuffersob Hey so my friend and I doing everything we did to fix the game, again, and it still gives him the connection failed, sorry to bother but what do we do now?? :( reinstalling everything, deleting the mods, verifying the game files, installing the microsoft things, rebooting the computer, nothing has worked :(((

compact kraken
#

I've heard of this issue a few times now, could I ask when this exactly happens?

tranquil gulch
#

Basically when my friend connects to me or anyone else, and we can't connect to him, so I had him do exactly every single thing I found on guides online, but nothing has worked so far

#

We have a farm together with other 2 people, and the other 2 don't have this problem at all, except the part where they can't connect to him

#

I'm the one that hosts the farm btw

compact kraken
#

So to make it super clear, you're hosting, and everyone is connecting just fine, except for your friend?

#

Have you ever tried having them host?

tranquil gulch
#

I tried giving one of my other friends like, my world, but they just connected as my character and I didn't want that,, not only that, but it didn't let me use any other character, like my friend was on mine but I couldn't use their character, so I was basically left out

#

But if there's a way to give another person my world without my character then I could try that

compact kraken
#

Sadly there is not.

tranquil gulch
#

😿

compact kraken
#

It would mostly be to see if the issue lies within the game or with their network connection.

#

If it'd work with your friend who's having issues hosting the game, it'd mean the issue lies with the game. If you all would disconnect it'd mean the issue lies with their network, which could still have a plethora of reasons.

Steam saves your saves so actually not that bad

Which seems to not save your saves, and you have to backup manually.

My game for some reason stopped letting me talk to Alex? I open the menu with the hearts to see if I’ve talked to him yet that day, and it never says I have because when I click on him to talk nothing happens!! It wasn’t like this at first but I just started my first winter and it’s probably been like this since the summer. I can gift him things and he says his normal thanks, I’m at 3 hearts with him but it’s really frustrating that I can talk to everyone except him. Anyone know what’s happening? I'm playing on Switch, btw

compact kraken
viral mulch
#

Yes, I closed the game and restarted it a few times trying to fix it

#

and I looked I don't have any updates to do

compact kraken
#

You're sure you shut down the game entirely? Switch enjoys doing the whole keeping the game in hibernation in the background stuff.

viral mulch
#

Yes I closed it and opened another game just to be completely sure it was closed, lol

compact kraken
#

Probably a fool's errand, but have you tried starting a new game and talked with them on that? Then check back again?

viral mulch
#

Ooh, I haven’t tried that.

compact kraken
#

If that doesn't work I can only suggest a reinstall. Mind you, not super sure how saves work on the Switch. I presume you keep them even when uninstalling.

#

On mobile devices I know they're removed with the game.

granite stream
#

you do

viral mulch
#

Yeah I was thinking about reinstalling but I would have to look up how the saves are kept if they are. Switch has a cloud I believe but yeah I’ll have to look it up

granite stream
#

saves are kept if you archive so i think uninstall is the same - it should say when uninstalling tho

autumn pine

Hmm idk then

#

I didn't think you could invite people without a cabin

compact kraken
#

You can not start a multiplayer game without having space for player slots with cabins. So if you started with 0 you must've built one at some point. Or you're using some impressive mods.

stone echo
#

if you join a multiplayer server, does it take up one of your save slots?

Yeah aren't cabins where the game saves the players?
Delete a cabin it deletes the player

I keep getting freezes for a second every so often, most of the time it happens on my farm after waking up
I play on GOG without any mods, I've tried verifying and repairing the game, reinstalling XNA 4.0 Refresh and replacing the XNA installer in the redist folder of GOG with the Refresh one

worthy lake
fossil imp
#

Wouldn't I have to do that every time I start up the game?

worthy lake
#

Yeah

#

You can get a program to do it for you though

#

Stardew is single threaded and it uses thread 0 usually so it's fighting other stuff

fossil imp
#

I'm currently defraging my HDD and I've enabled Vsync, Triple Buffering and Threaded Optimisation in my NVIDIA Control Panel, see if that works

#

And going into details it freezes when the clock moves forward 10 minutes, because I noticed that the sound of a furnace burning plays at the same time it freezes

#

And I play on a controller btw

quick elk
#

that is probably something stressing your hdd while game loads resources

worthy lake
#

Open task manager, look at details, if one thread is maxing it's because of what I said 😛

#

I've seen this many many times before

#

And it's 99% of the time that it's fighting stuff on cpu 0 and simply kicking it off 0 fixes it

quick elk
#

can you watch your taskmanager -> performance tab while the thing happens

fossil imp
#

sure

#

CPU right

worthy lake
#

Yes

#

It will either spike up or spike down

fossil imp
#

It went down when I freezed

quick elk
#

can you screenshot?

worthy lake
#

Yep so before we go on this goose chase. I'd like you to try following that guide

fossil imp
worthy lake
#

If it works problem found, if it doesn't we can go on this goose chase

#

alright

quick elk
#

can you also change that graph to this, just right click so you can actually see which core goes up

fossil imp
#

👍

#

Without setting the affinity

yeah thats more detailed

#

look at CPU2

thats probably where sdv runs

#

Disabled CPU0, freeze 2 seconds ago

#

Dip at CPU2

#

Let's try him now

#

Disabled CPU2, same thing

unknown.png
#

Disabling one makes the game hop onto another one

quick elk
#

can you also check hdd usage

fossil imp
#

Alright

compact kraken
#

Genuinely curious what cpu you have now.

fossil imp
#

i7-8700K

compact kraken
#

Also are you using any/many mods?

fossil imp
#

A bit overclocked

#

No mods

compact kraken
#

I have a slower cpu and have 0 issues. This is extremely weird.

fossil imp
#

You on GOG?

quick elk
fossil imp
#

I've searched for this and there was something about XNA, that the game was using the normal 4.0 version instead of Refresh

compact kraken
#

You could try installing smapi, see if anything in the log is pumping out anything.

quick elk
#

are your directx drivers up to date tho

compact kraken
#

I'm seeing things about an integrated gpu that might be messing with things, chipset driver updates that might fix, actually checking/testing if it's running at full hz. But that's ALL presuming the game isn't the culprit.

fossil imp
#

I don't have any DirectX updates in my Windows Settings

#

I have Dx12

flint path
#

Pretty sure stardew only uses DX10

worthy lake
#

I'm pretty sure I have directX5-12 from different games

storm grotto
#

me and my friend started a sdv game but for some reason he would keep getting purple tier fishes really frequently, if not purple then gold, is it soem sort of glitch? (he's lvl 6 on fishing btw)

That's not a glitch

#

That's how the game works 😛

compact kraken
#

If you fish in the right spot and get perfect catches you can easily get iridium, even at low level.

storm grotto
#

thats neat

#

ty

fossil imp
compact kraken
#

Start it up, see if the log shows any errors?

fossil imp
#

Normally or the API.exe?

compact kraken
#

Use smapi, yes.

fossil imp
#

I launched it normally and this came up

unknown.png
compact kraken
#

Ohsnap

#

Do you have a dedicated graphics card?

fossil imp
#

RTX 2080

compact kraken
#

Then I think your CPU's integrated GPU might be messing with things. If possible I'd suggest disabling it through BIOS. Alternatively, try installing the newest gpu drivers.

#

It might also have something to do with power saving settings.

fossil imp
#

No new updates on GeFoce Experience

#

Ok, I launched SDV through SMAPI and it works

#

Are the logs in the CMD window?

Yeah, it shows it in there, but it's also saved in some location. Right now all you need to do is see if anything red comes by.

fossil imp
#

Will it show automatically?

compact kraken
#

It should as soon as you start your game, keep checking the CPU monitor as well.

fossil imp
#

It's on CPU0 now

compact kraken
#

But still maxed?

fossil imp
#

ye

#

No logs

compact kraken
#

Aight, so the problem persists. No errors in the CMD, anything in red?

fossil imp
#

nope

compact kraken
#

Cool, could still possibly be the XNA install. You said you attempted reinstalling that, right? Where did you get it from, if you remember?

fossil imp
#

Firstly I went to Settings and clicked on Modify, then repair in the wizard

unknown.png
#

From here

compact kraken
#

And you uninstalled then reinstalled?

fossil imp
#

no

#

There's this but the download link is dead

compact kraken
#

Yeah, MS' is down, but Filehippo's seems to be fine, helped several people already.

#

Either way, shouldn't make much of a difference. Then the only idea I have left is disabling your onboard graphics card. ..which is kinda a shame, because it's not a bad one either.

fossil imp
#

So I went here and installed a file down at "Import a working config"

#

I replaced the xnafx40_redist.msi file in redist with it

compact kraken
#

Yeah, that doesn't seem any different than simply reinstalling it.

#

Also I'm presuming you've installed and tested all of the things you just linked?

fossil imp
#

Yea

#

The Filehippo was when I freshly installed the game and it wouldn't launch

#

Leme try verifying my game files again

fossil imp
#

Btw I have to enter my admin password 4 times when verifying the files, which is weird

compact kraken
#

Do you start steam as admin?

fossil imp
#

It's on GOG

compact kraken
#

Oh, herp. I have no idea how it works there, but I can presume Galaxy can also be started as admin?

fossil imp
#

well yeah

#

But normally you would have 1 or 2 prompts to enter the password

#

the 2nd and 3rd prompt have the same filename too

#

Anyways this isn't anything important

compact kraken
#

I don't have to enter any passwords after logging into my windows.

#

It could indicate what someone said before though, that it's trying to access a non-permitted file over and over.

fossil imp
#

Maybe you're on an Admin accoount

compact kraken
#

I am definitely the admin of my computer. x)

fossil imp
#

I'm using a standard account

#

Okay, I've verified my files and it seems that there are no more stutters or freezes!

#

CPU0 still 100% but whatever

compact kraken
#

Might be that smapi optimizes a few things. I hope for you it remains like that. x)

fossil imp
#

So the solution was probably replacing the .msi executable in the redist folder and verifying files

compact kraken
#

Ehm... if you never started the msi, nor reinstalled the game, that did nothing.

fossil imp
#

I did start the msi after putting it there

#

Oh and there's no problem with not finding a Direct3D device if I start without SMAPI, great

Hi, I'm trying to play multiplayer with my friend, it's just the two of us on the server. The game loads fine and is able to connect to the server fine. I'm able to walk around and interact with the tv inside the house and all the textures/furniture are visible, but as soon as I leave the building the game instantly crashes. It doesn't load anything but the stone paths. No house, no crops, no trees, no sprinklers, nothing. I am not the host, but the host isn't having any issues. When I load a singleplayer save it loads just fine. It told me to come here with help and to include this link: https://smapi.io/log/84c97cf0894d4f0c821cb654b41770b3; with this message. sorry if I'm interrupting something, any help would be much appreciated because I have no clue what I'm doing.

hello! i desperately need help trying to find the ||strange capsule|| that has showed up on my forest farm. i've tried running my save through stardew.info to see the map data, and it can confirm it is there but (i know this might sound silly) i'm unable to move the grey bar/ "object count". is there any way i can hide this? i want to find the darn thing :(

peak osprey
#

sorry, what do you mean by gray bar? on stardew.info? i'm not super familiar with that site

mild crystal
#

this thing ;w;

unknown.png
peak osprey
#

you could probably find it by opening your save file in a program like notepad++ or sublime and doing a Ctrl+F for strange capsule?

#

it should say the location in xy coordinates, it's not the most visual way to look for something but if you have SMAPI you can then use debug commands to warp directly to the spot

mild crystal
#

ah, pardon me but i don't know how ( or what ) notepad++ or sublime is, though i could try ^^

peak osprey
#

they're text editing programs

#

you wouldn't have to actually edit the save, just open it up to search for "capsule"

#

do you use windows, mac or linux?

mild crystal
#

i use windows

#

i'm downloading notepad++ now ahh

question guys

#

its about saves

#

ok so i just went on a long car trip and played stardew valley for the first time on my phone and played like 20 hours, if i find the save file on my phone and share it ( through text ) to the computer with text will the save file still work

#

or does it need to be a specific format for it to work on a mac ( ios 14 to 10.15 mac )

Hi! I would just like to ask if it's possible to change the name that pops up when you join another player in co-op mode? I tried playing with a friend I met online, and it turned out that we could both see the first part of each other's email addresses (i'm not really sure if it was our email addresses) when we logged on or off in multiplayer. My friend who was the host saw messages like "player name (email address) has joined". My email happened to be my real name so it felt like there was a breach of privacy? Is there a way to fix that problem?

thorn blaze
#

maybe through steam in settings you can disable the "show email" thingy i honestly dont remember, but i think its in privacy or something

Then unless you are somehow able to approach the save file and are able to edit it, I'm afraid not. That does sound like a bug that needs fixing though, even if it's from an older version.

Hi! I'm sorry if it's been mentioned before, I can't seem to find it, but yesterday I was able to play co-op just fine - my partner is hosting - but after we took a 10 minute break the option to join his game wouldnt show up anymore, and before I was able to join his game through steam but that no longer works either >.< I was just wondering if this is a known issue thats in the works of being resolved or if anyone knows if there's something i could do for now?

Yeah, I have a feeling there was an issue when my partner accidentally invited me for remote play, which doesnt work on my computer very well, but it started working just now

#

the game i mean, not remote play ^^'

compact kraken

Be aware however, that when you play it on the PC that you can't transfer it back to mobile anymore, as mobile only has 1.4, and PC is on 1.5.

fossil imp

fossil imp
#

the what

#

You want me to turn off my RTX?

compact kraken
#

Nono. Your CPU has an integrated GPU on it. It might be clashing with a few things. And seeing you have a better graphics card you don't really need it either.

fossil imp
#

Integrated then

#

I think I have it disabled, let me see

compact kraken
#

Pardon, yep, meant integrated.

fossil imp
#

It's disabled

compact kraken
#

Doubel hyeck.

fossil imp
#

Also turned on Game Boost cause I was updating my BIOS

compact kraken
#

That could help.

fossil imp
#

But it doesn't solve the underlying problem unfortunately

#

Still freezes

#

Must be something about the XNA framework

#

But I don't know how to fix it

compact kraken
#

I personally doubt it. If the game runs without any errors, nor any errors on SMAPI means it seems to be working fine.
The only other thing I can think of; and perhaps this is me grasping at straws, is to install everything that's required through an account with admin status so nothing gets blocked in any way, and then also attempt playing the game the same way. If that won't help I can't help but think it's a hardware error, or drivers even.

fossil imp
#

So I'll try to verify and repair the files as an admin

compact kraken
#

I'd suggest an uninstall and reinstall on the XNA, so no files get "stuck". Not sure if reinstalling/verifying the game again will help.

fossil imp
#

I've uninstalled XNA and am now veifying SDV

#

As an admin

#

huh, still had to enter my password
I can try on the actual admin account I guess if it doesn't work

#

Expected

unknown.png
compact kraken
#

Makes sense, time to reinstall XNA. Would still suggest the Filehippo one.

fossil imp
#

Not the other one?

compact kraken
#

Had the most success with Filehippo one

fossil imp
#

And it seems that GOG changed the file that I put in the redist folder too

#

Still freezes

#

I'll just reinstall then

flint path
#

tbh, my game also always freezes for a bit after each day but it's always started responding again and continue like normal. i figure that's just typical, especially considering it hangs for even longer when there's a skill level up or an event cut scene...product of a game running on a deprecated framework i figure lol

compact kraken
#

It definitely freezes near the end of the day, as it needs to clean things up, move peeps around, calculate other things, reroll the RNG of that day, etc. It shouldn't be happening while just moving around.

#

Especially not on a CPU that'd vastly outperform mine, while I have no issues. :V

flint path
#

ah i misremembered their issue my b

fossil imp
#

Do I need to reinstall SMAPI?

compact kraken
#

If the game boots, no real reason. Didn't show errors before, doubt it would now.

fossil imp
#

I've reinstalled XNA and SDV and it's still stuttering

#

All on an admin account

#

Restart after each

flint path
#

kinda sounds like a hardware/driver issue at this point SDVpufferthink you've got the latest chipset drivers?

#

(apologies if this is stuff malibloo already mentioned lol)

fossil imp
#

I have both Driver Booster 8 and Intel Driver & Support Assistant
They tell me nothing's to be updated

#

I recently updated my BIOS

#

Ooh, there's an update released a few months ago for the Chipset Driver

#

Let's see

compact kraken
#

I personally don't trust programs that automatically install drivers for me, they've caused me more harm than fixed things.
The one xna msi file you got from a reddit/forum thread, you installed and tested that, right?

flint path
#

sometimes programs like that dont always have the latest stuff pushed to em

fossil imp
#

Yeah a couple days ago

compact kraken
#

Damn, that's apparently a solution that helped for a bunch of people. :/

fossil imp
compact kraken
#

Also by a JamesIV4

#

The dumb part about this issue is that it could be caused by a stupid amount of things. Even hecking audio drivers could be the culprit.

#

I'm almost wondering if there's some way to analyze the game when it's running to see which parts are taking up the most CPU.

flint path
#

could try manually looking up drivers for you rig and seeing if there's any driver updates support assistant and whatnot don't show maybe?

fossil imp
#

I'm downloading stuff from my motherboard page

compact kraken
#

Theoretically you could install visual studio, smapi, the modding files necessary, then launch SDV through visual studio, use analyzing tools to see what the cpu is doing the most with, etc. But that'd take a ridiculously long time and knowledge that I'm not even sure if I have.

fossil imp
#

hoooo

#

I have VS installed so maybe?

compact kraken
#

Depends on how hellbent you are in fixing this, even I would've likely thrown in the towel already, lol.

fossil imp

#

but not the pixels, what is up with that gif lol

Let's try

# fossil imp https://tenor.com/view/the-incredibles-ive-got-time-gif-12758578

Well in that case, the 2 main guides I'd point at is this: https://stardewcommunitywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/Get_Started#Requirements
To set up your VS smapi modding environment.
And this here Microsoft docs page:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/profiling/cpu-usage?view=vs-2019
Which would tell you what parts are using the most CPU.
Then finally figuring out why said part is using that much. If it even shows up, as I'm not 100% sure if it'd also show the usage of other libraries.
Then finally link it to whatever problem your PC might have.
...I may or may not be skipping a few steps in between.

#

....or you could do whatever it is that you just found. Which I wasn't even aware of.

fossil imp
compact kraken
#

Dat [External Code] sure is doing a lot, lol

flint path
#

yeah lmao dang

fossil imp
compact kraken
#

My VS doesn't seem to be able to get the report, and when trying to save it it froze, haha.

#

Ah, I was diagnosing the wrong thing, genius.

#

I was hoping that when starting the game through smapi it would show the paths of the source code walked, but apparently that's still closed off.

fossil imp
#

Got a freeze right here

At this point I wish I was a tad bit more versed with VS tools, as I'm not sure if there's anything else that can be gleamed from this. :/

Hello! So, I recently got the new stardew valley boardgame (its really fun, ya'll should get it when u can), and my sister and I drew an item card that's titled Mega bomb, and it says "discard while at the mine to trigger 3 mine grid spaces". what does this mean? At first, we thought that it meant to go down 3 more mine levels, but this sounds too OP. Then we thought that since mining is done by grid like cards, we thought that it lets us get 3 new grid cards. Idk, its very confusing, if ya'll can help me, that would be epic!

Restarted my game and I noticed something. My server mode says "offline" "friends only" or "invite only" and doesn't seem to have online as an option?

Friends only and invite only are online. The former just means only your steam friends can join, the latter means only people with an invite code can join

Ok, so I AM online. I have tried both options :(

Have y'all tried any of the things in the pinned post?

The only thing to do is just to keep trying really, sometimes it takes a good bit :<

#

Assuming ofc, it is just steam being wonky

but she doesn't even have the option for "join with invite code?"

flint path

So I'm assuming you have it set to invite only then?

So what does the main menu -> co-op -> join tab look like for them?

only Join LAN

It shouldn't be an issue

i thought so

What happens if they try to join from your steam profile? Like the "join game" option in friends chat or whatever lol

Sounds good.

Presuming you also have smapi?

yep. though I also tried a vanilla start up but had the same message

Huh, strange.

I dont really know what these shells mean tbh SDVpufferthink but since the default is zsh and its not working, I guess I should try out bash.?

No problem. x)

vernal meteor
#

my save file just got put back a few months :((

#

anyone know what causes this

compact kraken
#

Did you get a message from steam asking if you wanted to use local or cloud save?

vernal meteor
#

nothing popped up

#

is there a way i can force it to use the cloud save

compact kraken
#

I'm afraid that the moment you started up the game again it's now the cloud save. Do you use mods by any chance?

vernal meteor
#

nop

compact kraken
#

Well, you could try the _old backup replacement, maybe that'll set you back a single day instead of months.

#

vernal meteor
#

yeah my saves are way behind

#

im looking at the files and the active quests are way back

#

i was playing just fine yesterday

#

😦

compact kraken
#

The game sadly does only one backup, so I'm afraid there's not much that can be done. You could install smapi in case of future shenanigans as it keeps multiple backups that steam cloud doesn't touch.

vernal meteor
#

i wonder if my laptop stil has a more recent save?

#

i played on my laptop until a few days ago then switched back over

compact kraken
#

That's likely the exact same save you got now.

vernal meteor
#

well

#

time to start from scratch i suppose 😦

compact kraken
#

Sorry. Original backup system sucks. :c

vernal meteor
#

i can choose a new farm type this time at least

#

i wasnt enjoying the river farm

stone echo
#

I recommend the four corners farm

worthy lake
#

A good reason to install smapi. Just for the better save back up

stone echo
#

It has the benefits and features of four other farms

vernal meteor
#

the only annoying thing about installing stuff is i gotta install everything on my laptop and my computer

#

so im trying to limit the mods and stuff i do bc i'll lose track

compact kraken
#

You only need to install smapi for the automatic backup. No need to install any mods. And even then you can swap to another machine with ease without needing smapi on there, but then you won't have the automatic backup.

vernal meteor
#

should i install it through nexusmods or manually

worthy lake
#

They both will lead you to doing it manually afaik

Yeah I found a bug. I thought it was mod related but apparently I was wrong

Hey!
I have a question about the Golden Walnuts if anyone knows. I have 129/130 and the parrot in Leos tree house has been hinting several days in a row that 1 is buried in the pirates cove. But I have already dug that one up, as well as gotten the 3 walnuts from the dart game.
Anyone got any ideas? 🥺

#

I have seen several people say that they miss walnuts and that the parrot has stopped giving hints, but in my case the parrot keeps giving hints to a walnut that has already been found.

compact kraken
brave sandal
#

Yes I am

compact kraken
#

If it does indeed show that your save is bugged I could help you fix it.

brave sandal
#

Ok thanks! I'm the least technical person in existence but I'll see if I can make use of the link you sent. I can @compact kraken later and let you know what I found out

compact kraken
#

The page itself explains pretty well where to find your save. And sure, no problem.

hollow forge
#

Hey, I have a pretty big farm with about 11 cabins

#

And one of the people in the cabins

#

Upgraded the to the cellar

#

But whenever he walks in the game crashes

#

Is this a known issue?

#

I added the cabins via robo robin

compact kraken
#

Sounds like a mod issue, as the default game only supports up to 4 players, I'd suggest checking #archived-modded-support

hollow forge
#

I created it unmodded I only added the houses via a save editor no mods were used

compact kraken
#

Well, in that case, I highly doubt the original game supports that many basements.

#

Maybe there's a mod that might fix that though. x)

hollow forge

Unfortunate. 10 player farms are really fun xd

@compact kraken Alright I looked it up and it turns out the parrot hinted at a walnut buried in the sand OUTSIDE the pirate cave. So no bugs here, just me being dumb and can't read properly. The walnut was in the cOve, not in the cAve.

Thanks for the help, I would have never figured it out otherwise 😆

I am new to the valley and have loved it so far. I found the game on mobile and played for a little bit before deciding to buy it on switch and PC. Only problem I have is when I try to play with the save on the switch I get very odd stutters here and there. I have video if it will help. The problem doesn't occur if I start a switch save from scratch, nor does the problem occur when using the mobile save with the steasm version. I tried uncompressing and decompressing the switch save and mobile save but it doesn't help, just allows me to read switch file in xml, which is where I am now, comparing both saves in xml.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! and wonderful game thus far.

worthy lake
#

Uhhh, are you putting a pc/mobile save on switch?

#

Or do you just mean your save on your switch

hearty sparrow
worthy lake
#

Well, the reason it stutters is switch hardware sucks

#

The switch has half the recommended CPU speed for stardew. Stardew recommends 2ghz, switch gets max 1020mhz

hearty sparrow
#

it doesnt with a new save. and I can Overclock switch to 1.75

worthy lake
#

I'm assuming your switch is jailbroken?

hearty sparrow
#

yes

worthy lake
#

I'm not really sure what the policy is then here, because technically you are not supposed to transfer saves from PC/mobile to console

hearty sparrow
#

We can oc Cpu Gpu and Ram a bit

worthy lake
#

They run on two different, things, PC uses XNA and console uses something else I forget what it is

hearty sparrow
#

ahh I see, thank you though. It is the only way to inject the saves into the game

#

Might see about streaming from the pc version to the switch.

worthy lake
#

I still am going to blame the switch hardware 😛 It sucks butt

#

Co-op split screen the pepper rexes fire one single one of them drops fps to 1

hearty sparrow
#

Lol I see, maybe it is just my farm is already to beefy for the switch to handle lmao. that sucks

worthy lake
#

If a new save works fine I just think it's because you're putting a PC/mobile save on the switch

hearty sparrow
#

Yeah I was gonna see next if maybe I can figure out how to merge the 2 saves. Get my character, stats, farm, items, etc. over to the switches save and see what happens

worthy lake
#

It's monogame, that's what the console edition uses (not that it's that important it was just bothering me I couldn't remember the name)

#

You might be able to pull a switch save and see if you can modify it? Idk if you would

hearty sparrow
#

I can definitely look at it and decompress it with a tool I found on gbatemp, but idk where to go from there, I give up lol

prime osprey
#

Everybody I have an issue

#

I don't mean to alarm everyone

#

But Stardew will not launch on my friends computer....

#

So whenever they try to run the game it just never starts at all. We made sure framework and XNA or whatever and all that stuff were installed, headphones in sound driver installed, all the common steps followed

worthy lake
#

Did you reinstall xna?

prime osprey
#

yes, multiple times

#

BUT

#

I tried running through SMAPI cause I saw that could just randomly work too, and I got this error

#

I forgot to DL the screenshot one sec

#

spoiled just ot not clog the chan

#

So it looks like XNA didn't install correctly, but I promise you on my soul I installed it, and even re installed and repaired it

worthy lake
#

When you reinstalled xna did you fully uninstall it, download it from the web then reinstall it and restart the pc?

prime osprey
#

yes

#

You think if I just grab that file from my PC and send it over it would work?

#

I'm just wondering if it'll just hit an error on the next file its missing if I do that

worthy lake
#

It might work sending the file but idk

#

Where did you download xna from?

prime osprey
#

Well the main link that's posted everywhere goes to a dead link from MS official site

#

So I got it through a waybackmachine link

There are a few known dupes depending on the platform

Pc clicking organize on chest holding an item with full inv is the method, not sure if that was fixed in the 1.5 update tho

#

Or when the 1.5 update was even released

viral tendon
#

Yeah that one has been around since 1.3, it's been fixed on consoles but the players have asked CA to bring it back

round fractal
#

Did it get fixed on pc, and players just want it back, or, is it still around on pc?

viral tendon
#

It's still on the pc from what I've seen.

round fractal
#

If it's now considered intended, that's cool, just wanted to report it. While I'm one of the day one stardew valley buyers, I still have been away from the game for awhile, so, still getting caught up on all the changes

viral tendon
#

I doubt it's intended, but I'm sure I've seen someone ask CA about it and they were told it wasn't something he was going to fix anytime soon.

#

I just can't remember where I seen it at.

# prime osprey did not work, gonna start piping through DLLs

This is probably the best way to solve it. It's possible to figure out which dll is causing problems, but so far I've had it been 5 different ones or so. Most problems were because of faulty windows installations that messed up msi installs by placing it in the wrong locations.

#

Having said that, there's several different dlls that are used by xna and SDV, which can be found with a program called Dependencies.

prime osprey
#

ooh

compact kraken
#

Yep, I've been using that.

prime osprey
#

awesome, ty ty

compact kraken
#

Either open up Stardew Valley.exe with it, or the XNA dll mentioned in the error message. Its location should show when you open up SDV.

If you just can't connect it's because of steam. Stardew uses steam mp servers so if they have issues so does stardew mp

I had this old save with my friends, and near the end we had some wild issues. There were invisible crystals on our farm, there were mushroom trees everywhere, if you destroyed too much of the grass on the farm it would respawn in every possible position that it could.

So not really anything changing content too much. But the save file is somewhat older.

There are a few mentioning bundles being messed up that are pretty recent. Usually in connection with the wizard but maybe I did something else to trigger it.

If an npc sent you a letter or told you to meet them

You can trigger it another day

visual star

Oh oof I should explain. It's from a mod and it only triggers on that certain day and not once again. Rather, it was character dialogue, not an event. It's a story telling sort of mod I'm invested in.
