If you're looking for a mod I'd suggest asking in #archived-modded-support
How come I have this achievement
but not this one?
it's on steam
also this one
Probably connection issues the moment you unlocked that achievement.
If you're using smapi (mods), there's a command you can do to manually trigger it again.
!smapi
SMAPI (https://smapi.io/) is the mod loader for Stardew Valley. It loads mods into the game, provides APIs for mods to use, intercepts errors, and backs up your save files automatically.
thanks, I'll look into it :)
I can only imagine that the command you should use is achievement Achievement_Networking
Hello - I need to report a bug
Ok - I will then.
I am at the winter feast and have Leo as the person I should give a gift to.
I have been to Ginger island and met him
but he is not at the feast
I have spoken to everyone there
He isn't there
I was going to start the day over, but I don't feel like it

governor is a bot, he won't respond to you :P since you don't use mods, you can check for another thread on the forums with this bug (i'm almost certain it's been reported) and add your report there
I am nice to everyone - even bots 🙂
Thanks @peak osprey
I'll do a search and see what happens - if I can't find anything I'll report

Hey, I switched PC yesterday and steam didn't pass my Stardew Valley game from one computer to another, can someone help me please?
are you sure you're logged into the same steam account?
Yeah
and you got the game through steam originally?
you can add non-steam games to steam so it may be that you got it from GOG or elsewhere
I bought it original from steam
Did you by chance disable steam cloud?
No i didn't change it
Do you still have access to the old pc?
Yes
I was thinking about if I could move the saved files of the game to the new pc with a pendrive
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
my friend is on mac, and every time he launches the game through steam,
the enter invite code
is not there
Was something changed on the Nintendo switch for professor snale and the snake vertebrae drop rate. My original game i got it just fine... on this game play through I’m 1 year checking daily for artifact spots on the farm in ginger island and I’m only ever seen 2 artifact spots and neither dropped it. My question is, is there a patch or known bug? If not how do I get that information to the devs. Something seems very wrong
every time we play, he has to launch stardew repeatedly until we get lucky and the option is there 
Since the update to add tile sets, for Nintendo switch the vertebra drop rate is practically zero. This prevents completion of collections and ostriches being able to exist
Any mods/admins/devs about?
Is there a way to get rested on Single Player like in Multiplayer? :(
can you save multiple files on mobile or just one?
Whenever I click on an item to store in my chest, the mouse kept moving up. Is there a way to stop it from happening? It is bugging me.
can i use my phone as an xbox controller to play stardew?
im not used on playing at wasd

I'll argue that after the update my s/o and I found them all in a pretty reasonable amount of time if anything they seemed high for how rate they were supposed to be
my friend is playing on mac, having the issue where they can't invite to or join multiplayer, tried disabling any and all firewalls, tried restarting steam and computer, tried signing out of steam and back in again, reinstalled stardew, nothing has fixed it - any ideas?

If it doesn't work after trying this stuff there isn't much you can do. CA persists that this issue is on steams side
Took me 2 years to get both snake vertebrae for me, sounds like it's working as intended.
Do you have a controller connected? A mouse moving up is not something that a game can do by itself.
I've got it fixed 🙂
Hey guys, I'm Brazil (South America) and I have a friend that lives in Portugal. I am trying to convince him to buy the game, but a doubt arose. Because of the distance, will it be possible to play together? I really don't know how COOP works

I've played with my friend in Australia (and I live in US) with no problems so you should be good
Apparently you should be able to play stardew valley with 2 people on the same account shared screen right? (split screen in short lol) I tried to do this with steamlink and steam controllers, but the controllers aren't well supported? Is there anything I could do to be able to use a steam controller and also another one for player 2
As far as I'm aware player 1 needs to be on keyboard, and player 2 has to use a controller.
Negative
You can use two controllers
Idk about specifically two steam controllers as they are... different to say the least
Ah, aight. I've seen people have issues with using 2 controllers before. Only for it to be solved with third party programs that bind keyboard to controllers.
To be fair the only situation I've used two controllers is specifically p1 being a steam controller (which probably counts itself as a mouse and keyboard) and then a switch pro controller for 2nd person
One would think that Steam controllers would be able to work with a Steam game tho.
You might get away with using two steam controllers if you take the second one and fully bind it as a full normal controller say xbox
I also couldn't find a controller settings that would work well on the game :/ so If anyone here who uses steam controller to play the game, please send me your settings ❤️ thanks guys I appreciate the answers ^^
Okay, I'll try that if I know how XD
I'm not the best with this type of stuff lol, so gotta look up a tutorial or something
steam://controllerconfig/413150/2436088362
That's mine at least, the f1, and back buttons are for mods so you can completely ignore them (unless you also use lookup everything)
thank you!! shoudl I try if it works with that? @worthy lake
With two steam controllers you mean?
Gah, steam. I think I have a second config that should work specifically with the 2nd player, but I have to "play" with it for at least 5 minutes before I can upload it
@tropic warren provided I understand how the 2nd player works this theoretically should work for specifically the 2nd player
steam://controllerconfig/413150/2436114794
No guarantees 
Thank you❤️
Can you play on SDV on the pc with a Xbox controller?
Any controller if you use steam
I sometimes use a ps2 controller even
If you use gog I've no idea how that works
The other platform stardew is sold on pc
Oh right
Hey, I wanted to play with my Sister on our Farm again like Yesterday but the "Show Invite Code" Button isnt there?

i dont think gog has controller support
idk tho
Idk either, I can guarantee it has nothing as good as steams if it does
I'm afraid I don't understand what you're asking. If you should complete the things found in the community center? That's part of the main game, yes.
i got a problem i open stardew valley and it closes with no error message
yes
!reinstalldeps
@chilly horizon Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch for links).
no error message? are you on smapi?
can you try reinstalling .NET and XNA first, please? if that doesn't work, we can try some other things!
Prior to the patch it was found significantly faster. I believe there’s an issue. This is for switch once again
hey! i was playing stardew fine up until a few days ago, and now when i try to open it steam shuts it down and goes back to play, instead of running; essentially not opening it. I deleted the start up file and i havent downloaded anything new recently. i tried looking online for support, but they seem to be outdated
Have you tried reinstalling XNA?
Well, that's the problem with really low droprates, people get it early a few times and are then biased towards their own luck, not expecting it to take longer the next time. Believe me, it's possible. If you want I could calculate the actual odds per artifact spot.
is there a way to buy the game once and play it on my ipad as well as on my windows desktop? or do i have to buy two copies? (not play at the same time, just switching between the two)
I'm afraid that you'll have to buy 2 copies. Not entirely sure if they get types of commissions for sales, but there's companies who made the games working on other platforms who also deserve to be paid for their work.
how do i go about that?
the version for ipad is also pretty different than the one for PC, there's no way to port it over
!reinstalldeps
Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch for links).
...that still refers to the Refresh version of XNA, which doesn't (always) fix things.
should i install this despite the fact that ive never installed?
Sure. You do know that steam games usually installs a bunch of stuff upon starting the game for the first time, right?
downloading xna fixed it, thanks!
I stand corrected. x)
why can't I put lg futan bear in the trash can?
Because you can't trash/sell items you got from the museum.
but I can some of them
it's a waste of space and wastes time when I accidentally click on it then my inventory is shifted
I decided I am better off with them nonexistant than wasting time and space
what if I throw them in water?
Technically you can just throw it on the floor, end the day, restart the game and it'll be gone. But you could instead just put it down, pick it back up, and see if you can trash it then.
they were placed earlier
You can also try the water, sure.
I-
I can't seem to drop them
can you destroy a chest that has items in it?
that might be an option
You can't, NPC's can. Dump it in a chest in front of someone's house.
You know, if you're hellbent on getting rid of it.
what causes them to destroy it?
They all wear steel-tipped boots.
no I mean like
is it from them trying to walk over it?
In all seriousness, they just path through whatever is in their way.
They are secretly tanks
Weretanks
Try removing startup_preferences in %appdata%/StardewValley
That's the idea. It gets remade with default values.
What's your screen resolution?
Also, have you tried running it in windowed mode?
When the game is running, press Alt+Enter
Do you use multiple monitors?
Then I'm not too sure how you're not able to move your mouse to the right, do you have any additional information?
I mean can you explain your situation with a bit more detail?
can someone help me, i’m trying play co op with my friends, but i don’t have the “enter join code” button or whatever
ok it worked
Are you a dev or do you work for the company?
Nope, just a fan who enjoys looking at source code.
Because if not could you stop answering to issues being reported to the devs because I believe there’s an issue from before
I know what the rate was before and after and it’s significantly lower now
Respectfully, I've noticed multiple times now that people are having difficulty with rare drops, and I've seen people who reported these things get said drops even after 2 years of playing. So if I can keep people from bothering the dev with ideas they obtained through personal bias, I will keep doing that.
And even if I'm wrong, this has already been reported on the forums, just like the mummified bat.
Maybe do some research first instead of being rude to someone who freely volunteers their time to try and help people and even the dev, kay? Thanks.
That's rather rude
Respectfully nobody cares what you have to say about source code on Nintendo switch because I do not believe you have the ability to analysis it. Furthermore I didn’t come here to hear your opinion I came here to report to the devs an issue which is already being documented elsewhere
Respectfully you don't have the numbers from the source code either
So can you kindly keep quiet about something which you do not know about and stop interrupting reports
I don’t, but I do have numerous forums stating it and 5 play thoughts before wand after the update
And despite all that, there's thousands of people who have still found it.
Additionally, what Shiny said. This is support. You want to report a bug?
!officialbug

Alternatively, you can email support@stardewvalley.net
Lastly, it’s not your job role or anything to prevent people from - bothering the devs. Last I checked you’re neither a mod admin or dev. So stop trying to discredit things people care about
They found it PRIOR to the update
The new one broke something
I'd like to point out I've played it on switch before and after
The rates seem the same to me
To me they don’t and there’s a huge influx of reports across reddit about it
However this is a pointless discussion
I suggest reporting it on the forums where the devs actually look
I’ll just talk to concerned ape
...
Omfg
Got the duck issue fixed that way last time.
He KNOWS
Stop wasting his time by bothering him.
You wasting his time will only mean it'll take longer.
For everyone
He know what? According to your source code reading ability on switch nothing is wrong
Or were you lying about that
That's not even remotely what I said.
@JasiakKali I've received hundreds of reports of this, so I'm certain something is wrong. If there's an issue it will get fixed as soon as possible in a patch
107

And yet above you tried to say nothing was wrong
So stop jumping in on what others say
I never remotely said that. I said that the droprates are low.
Does this even have a point anymore? Look a tweet he knows cool this pointless "discussion" can be over
@spring peak can we uh
Nope, just consistently removing the messages that come across as too rude.
You are rude
Okay kettle.
And you like to butt in on things which have nothing to do with you
That's called helping people. That's what this channel is for.
I explained that the droprate is already extremely low, and was insinuating that a lot of the reports are likely false due to said low droprate. It took me 2 whole years to get the snake vertebrae. On the PC, of which I can read the source code.
Nobody wants to see a snaky child when they come on a place to ensure actual issues are seen
You keep saying read source code
What coding language do you know
That's not remotely relevant?
@compact kraken @undone prairie That's enough from both of you, drop the conversation.
Thank you Rice
I need help with running SMAPI
#archived-modded-support can help!
Hi, I'm trying to play multiplayer with my friend online for the first time. One issue is that sometimes the "Enter Invite Code" option is not showing up on the Co-op selection. Sometimes it does work though and when it does-- I cannot enter a pasted code. I have to type it out all myself. When I type it out-- it says connecting for a bit but then it fails. Can someone help me? Thanks so much

I'm fairly sure tools don't have ownership (they simply get returned to lost & found when not found on people or chests), and even if you made a backup save of each day it'd be hard to figure out who did it. I'm afraid there's nothing to prove that claim.

I think I'm experiencing a bug with the second Qi quest, the one where you have to "put 10 beets in the mayors fridge", I grew 10 beets, all the same quality, but when I walk up to Lewis' fridge and press A, it just gives me a description of the fridge. How do I "place the beets" in his fridge?
hold them
I've been doing that
Got a screenshot of you standing in front of the fridge holding the beets and having the message? Easiest way to figure out if something is wrong. Presuming you're on PC, anyway.
Then it's not as easy as on PC, but a screenshot is still appreciated.
@compact kraken Here is the screenshot
Well, there's nothing weird about how that's supposed to work. Double checked you have the quest? I highly doubt you don't have 10 beets, asking would be rude. Lewis being in the room shouldn't matter...
Hmm, that's no good. You did the rainbow shell thing before this?
yes
Did you check the box a second time, by any chance?
ill check now
i checked the box by the train platform and it just says "its an empty box"
even when trying to put a rainbow shell in it
And you did start the Qi quest line already? With the battery in the bus tunnel?
yes
That's extremely strange. Don't suppose you could try starting the first quest again?
i just did the battery pack thing again and it restarted the quest
I'm thinking you maybe possibly accidentally canceled the Qi quest somehow.
yes i think that was the case too
It'll cost another battery and shell, but at least you can still do the quests.
i got both, thanks :)

I'm having a strange issue, I got the first backpack upgrade before the egg festival, and now its day 18 and I only have 1 row, not 2. I don't know when it happened, just noticed now
And I have to buy it again now...
Are you using mods?
Not necessarily. Did you alt f4 after you bought it before it saved possibly?
No, it only does that when you sleep, so doubt it
I am trying to remember
I tihnk what it was is was I got exhuasted
and I hit a button wrong after seeing the doc, and it exhuasted me again becuase 1 eng
I was like "Dang I didn't mean to do that"
Hmm its probably my fault for even doing such things
I bet its a corruption issue
That still as far as I know shouldn't cause it unless it's partially messed up
yea idk, I probably did something when I force closed
Idk then, I guess if it does it again it might be another issue
meh its prob super rare, force closing games can cause issues
sorry to bother you
have a good night :D
You too!
Anyone get a witch event with a coop even though there’s a wicked statue in it? That just happened to me and I’m baffled
wicked statues don't work in the coop, only in slime hutches
Aw man :/
they're for keeping your slimes from turning black, they don't affect anything in the coop
Guess I misremembered. It’s been awhile
don't worry, the void egg is added to the regular eggs you have and none of your chickens will be changed
Yeah, i was just hoping to increase the chance of getting a witch event in the slime hutch by stopping it in the coop haha 😅
hello! can anyone help me read me SMAPI log to figure out why my game keeps crashing
in #archived-modded-support we can! this channel is for the vanilla (unmodded) game
Hi! I just started playing about a week or and ran into a problem - I've read through the troubleshooting section of the wiki but I'm still encountering it. I wanted to transfer a save file from macOS to iPad. Both game versions are up to date, but when I moved the save file as instructed, I end up with a "version mismatch" (See screenshot attached!). I have not used mods at all. Thanks a bunch in advance, and hope I didn't overlook something that just existed the wiki (if so please point me in the right direction).
the mobile versions of stardew valley are still on an older version (1.4 iirc)
Ah okay! So I'd just wait until there's an update?
yeah
Thank you!
Small sidenote, the mobile update might take another few months still, so I'd continue playing on your mac if possible.
It's not a "I'll just have to wait until my ipad will automatically update the game to the latest version", as this update doesn't exist yet.
Hello online mod cloned my friends t's and got them inside the house how can I fix this?
Is it still inside the house after you sleep?
@compact kraken yes
use the ||horse whistle|| outside?
hmm the horse is not mine so when my friend arrives there is already another horse outside, there are 2 horses that should be in the game outside but now a cloned horse outside a house inside and outside a house
If you could somehow ride the horse outside that would possibly help things. You're also using mods, so possibly there's a smapi command that'll teleport you to another map? Can try that while on the horse. Maybe once it's outside it'll reset properly.
Thanks for your suggestion and we do not use any mods. @compact kraken
Oh, because you mentioned some online mod in your first post?
Either way, I have no idea how to properly reproduce this glitch, but people have used the horse before to clip out of bounds: https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/8klnlz/farmhands_using_the_horse_can_hop_on_and_off_to/
Perhaps something to try in vanilla.
so Thanks @compact kraken
For couch co op on switch can I play spit screen or is it a shared screen and characters can't move off of it?
It's a split screen.
Y'all can be on complete opposites sides of the game.
Like this ?
Correct, but only with 2.
Left and right.
Ok thanks
has the number of swarms been uped? i stg every single level in the mines i get swarmed rn
im on mobile, will my saves transfer to different devices is its on the same google play account?
I have so far still not been able to confirm if it does, so I would highly suggest backing up your saves manually.
!saves
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
thats sad, i wish i could but yesterday i accidentally deleted my save from the files on my phone so i was wondering if its not saved in my phones files, but still saved on stardew valley, i was wondering if it would be on a different device
im about to find out
yeah nvm it doesnt
Put them into a USB or computer or on your Google drive or something so then you can just download them on your new device
i physically dont have the game save file cause i accidentally deleted it
Yeah nah she's gone
rip ;-;
Well at least now you can make a better save
yeah ig. im gonna wait a couple mounths tho maybe even a year cause it wont be the same
Don't suppose you have samsung cloud or anything or the sort that does automatic backups?
Does anyone have issues with screen tearing on linux? it seems to load the screen from the player outwards so there's this weird jerky camera movement.
Ah found someone ask here #archived-modded-support message but doesn't seem to be a fix
it was on a samsung phone but idk anything about samsung cloud. i also have google drive but it wasnt on there
hrmm this appears to be my issue https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/frequent-stutter-when-screen-scrolls-after-switch-from-win7-to-linux.159264/ is there any way people know to get this issue some more attention to fix? I realized I've been living with it for 2 years and it's really not how the game is supposed to play
Hello!
I have encountered an issue where my game stutters while my character is walking and causing the screen to scroll. It is very distracting and...
I'm afraid that issues like these could have a ridiculous wide array of possible causes, making finding a solution for it already hard. On top of that Linux isn't the best supported platform for gaming, making it even more impossible to find anyone to fix it.
The best advice I can give is to find a Linux orientated gaming community (forum, discord, irc, etc) and asking there. The chances of someone being in this discord who is a Linux gamer, and knows how to solve the issue is... well, I think you'll have a bigger chance of winning the lottery. x)
weird stats on that huh
thanks
Yeah I'm certain it's to do with x-server
I've had similar issues with minecraft
Oooh wait i think it may be using proton to play it. there is a native linux version right? how to I tell which version i'm using?
I'm using the native version same issue on the proton one, anyway I'm investigating I'll try to remember to post here if I solve it for other lurkers who are dealing with it
Most of the time screen tearing seems to be GPU-related or CPU-related. Usually a good thermal paste replacement should fix that. But if that is only happening during certain games than it could be other things instead.
Yeah only SDV. I'm on a prebuild laptop so I hope they applied the stuff well.
trying some fancy reconfig linux stuff I think it could be drivers related
oh weird this laptop actually has a 120 hz ability
turning it down to 60.01 really really smooths it out
and then windowed fullscreen is the cleanest too
so I guess that's the "solution" but it's still a little wonky
actually... not really, it's quite smooth
Per my usual Linux fixes, just play around with configs for a few hours and it works
getting serious lag all of a sudden??
If it persists I'd suggest rebooting your machine. If you're on Windows it could be updates. Is it happening at specific moments?
Can you splitscreen on PC with seperate keyboards and mice?
Heh, no. By default connecting 2 keyboards and 2 mice to a computer means they'll control the exact same thing. Generally you can only split screen with one person using a keyboard and the other using a controller (or sometimes 2 controllers), but I'm sure there's third party software out there that'll allow you to do this still by rebinding keys. That way you could both play on 1 keyboard.
Hi! I'm trying to play local Co-Op with my brother, and I plugged in a wireless controller to my computer. It's definitely registered, as it vibrates every time I do so, but it doesn't ever... Work. If I try to turn on the controller, it turns on my Xbox, and if I try to use the controller, nothing happens. Please ping me if I get a response 
alright i made a bit of a bad decision and have now changed my locations.xnb file, now places like the summit boulder, and cinema posters have dialogue like Strings\Locations:SummitBoulder and i think the way to fix it is by getting the original file back? a lot of ginger island is unavailable also.
maybe try unplugging your xbox? i used to encounter this when i had my xbox next to my pc but when i got rid of it it was fine.
!reset
@tiny forge 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 :)
alright, thanks!
guys is there anything specific we need to do to get the junimos out of their hut? i got three huts in winter and i thought maybe they came out in spring but they haven't showed up at all :/
do you have crops planted within the range of the huts, and are they ready to harvest?
yes and i have one set of tulips ready to be harvested. do they not come out on rainy days too?
They indeed don't collect on rainy days.
any chance anyone else has been unable to reach shopkeepers that are behind counters? the speech bubble is grey and cant interact with them
Can I play Stardew Valley with 2 or more players on a single PS4? (Local offline Multiplayer)
i couldn't figure it out bc it's been raining 3 days straight now LOL
Yep! You'll have to set up cabins on the save you want to play on, then start a local co-op game from the options menu
Thank you! :)
How does profession (i.e. 25% better fish price) work with local co-op? Does the person that put the relevant item in the bin get the bonus, or does everyone on the map?
is this where i type to ask help and like send my smapi log
Everyone
If you are using mods post it in #archived-modded-support
thank you
Pretty rare
Yo, sorry to bother but I joined this server just to ask for help. I'm playing stardew on switch an our host's server isn't popping up and nothing I google explains why. Can anyone help?
I had this problem too. Are there enough cabins?
Yes
We've done everything we needed to start, it's just that the host's farm didn't show up in the join menu
Yeah my bro and I had to add another cabin to fix this. V inconvenient
(We had the right amount of cabins and played for a long time, but for some reason, we had to add another cabin to fix it)
Yeah but we already have the max number of cabins cause that's what we started with
You can't make a fifth cabin, can you?
I don't think so
has anyone experienced this bug in Ginger island
when using the boat to travel i think i walked to the right (held down the key) while on the boat, and then 1 second in the boat animation i skipped, and then i clipped to this part of ginger island for some reason
what platform?
and do you have a legit version of the game from steam or GOG, if on PC? i ask because i'm fairly sure that bug was patched
it's like
a little rarer than meteor thanks to 1.5
If this issue hasn't fixed itself yet, the things to keep in mind when trying to play with others online on switch is:
A Nintendo Online subscription (for everyone).
A fairly stable wifi connection.
A free cabin (consider destroying and rebuilding a cabin just in case).
Starting the game in Co-op mode.
Not also being in splitscreen co-op mode. You can not go splitscreen and online at the same time.
If you're 100% certain these things aren't the issue, I'd suggest contacting official support.
how can i pay these? I host this multiplayer farm and i'm sure no one pay it
Are you at the community center?
you mean now ?
Yes, you can only pay it while you're at the community center.
I see the slightest sliver of a phone on the right, meaning you're definitely not at the community center.
And if there's no big old purchase button there, someone likely already bought it.
how do pets decde which house theyre gonna sleep in overnight
like whether the main house or
or farmhand ones
From my experience it's whoever goes into their house first at a certain time
I recall it being completely random, but maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
May be
I just noticed with two people it was whoever went into their house first, and since we always just slept in the main farm house besides festivals it usually spawned there
qi gems from special orders kind of feel like they need some rebalancing, some of the easier ones give more than things that are just wtf why am I doing this >_>
like what specifically
how do i stop my animals grazing on the grass? im trying to make my farm look nice
You can put fences up but you can't really stop them from grazing if they have grass somewhat nearby
alright, at least i have some closure
You can keep them inside, but that'll cost happiness.
i cant do the quest, can someone help :3
Are you at the community center?
You can only view the bundles through inventory, you have to deliver them in person at the community center if you want to complete them. Also more of a #stardew-valley question.
ah, thanks
Anyone encountered a multiplayer bug where someone is unable to open chests after sleeping in a bed that isn't theirs? (problem was fixed by restarting the game, just wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem and found a fix that doesn't involve restarting 😅 )
That's very interesting
Usually not being able to open chests in MP means that there's some kind of lag or severe packet loss. How long did you guys keep trying until restarting? And I'm presuming the host was still able to?
Yeah I was hosting and still able to interact with chests. We tried one more in-game day before restarting.
Maybe there was some really spotty internet, and it got fixed upon re-establishing the connection. Was there more than 1 friend who had the issue? And if so, are you on wifi?
It was just the one friend who encountered the problem, and yes, both on wifi.
Next time it happens, I'd suggest telling your friend to stand in front of the chest, click it once, don't walk away, then see how long it takes before it opens, and try a few chests; especially ones that haven't been touched by others.
I'm thinking there's either a lot of lag going on, which would mean it could take a very long time before the server responds with stuff like chest content.
Or there's enough packet loss which means that when someone opens a chest it gets sent to them, but it missed the package that told them the chest closed again, not allowing them to open it as they think it's already open.
And even then it could be that you managed to discover a really strange bug. (Which wouldn't be a surprise either)
Thanks for the protip!
Of course if restarting works then that's the solution you should go for. Do let us know if it keeps happening though.
If a person in multiplayer has the same profession like tiller, does the bonus value stack or is it unaffected?
I do not believe they stack
They do not stack. In fact, it's best to diversify, as all the value-increasing professions work no matter who ships the items. Like having 1 person with Rancher and another with Tiller.
I recall this only works when the player with said skill is active on the farm, so keep that in mind.
Skills like Agriculturist; where crops grow 10% quicker, only works when the person with the skill plants the crops.
Ah okay. I had a friend who stated otherwise because he said their blueberries sold for more when both he and his friend had tiller.
I was a bit skeptical of it.
is this sever for mobile version too or just pc version
All versions!
k thanks
is their an easier way to fish on mobile i find it hard to fish
Uhh you could plug in a controller though idk how that really works
@full gyro @worthy lake (sorry for ping) you can use a wireless controller for mobile, there are also devices that support bluetooth keyboard and mouse setups
i still pref the basic keyboard/mouse on pc. feels easier to me
(I really don't mind) but that's interesting I didn't realize you could use keyboard and mouse on mobile with bluetooth stuff
hope it works for you! my wireless xbox ctrler worked fine on my mobile version
fishing was still just a bit clunky compared to mouse but good enough ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Cool 😎 tysm
Hey all, hunting for the last few Golden Walnuts and after watching a walkthrough it seems like some of the Walnut bushes that should be there don't exist in my game (xbox) has anyone else experienced this?
Definitely have never heard of missing bushes. They can be behind trees and whatnot, but missing? That's screenshot worthy.
Yeah I'll see if i can grab a photo but one i've identified for sure is just not there at all
I've been all over no help yet. thinking i may need to email Concerned Ape
The very few posts I see about this a single person mentions that they eventually reappeared.
I'd try to go through a season chance (heck, maybe even from winter to spring) and see if it's back?
worth a try for sure!

can someone help me with a multiplayer issue? ive tried all of the troubleshooting
Anything specific going on, or the usual not being able to join and the enter friend code not showing up?
it’s really weird- invite code and everytigng is coming up but it’s just stuck on joining forever. and when they click off it says rejoin blah blah farm
Well that's new (at least from what I've seen)
Hello, can someone help me in something?
My friend and I had a new issue in multiplayer tonight (I am using mods so it may be that but wanted to start here since its not related to the modded content). Anytime the friend goes into the community center the game starts to go whack. Skipping frames and weird stuff like that. They also can't interact with any of the community center bundles.
I unfortunately couldnt get a picture, and we will try again tomorrow. I can also check SMAPI next time and see if I see any errors in there.
Hi! So my friends and I played multiplayer yesterday and was about to continue our progress today. I am hosting the multiplayer game and I encountered this problem
there's no send invite code button for us to play again together
oh, I saw the pinned messages. Trying it now

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

@frozen beacon Feel free to ask your question or describe your issue here, and someone will help if they can :)
This happens every time i upload my save file to upload farm
Ik what my save file looks like i selected it and keeps crashing
Sounds more like an issue that you should contact that site with.
Pardon the extremely late reply, as I had crashed.
It almost sounds like something that's happening with a firewall of the sorts. Could you try having the other person host and see if it'd work? If it does it means that whoever's hosting right now is likely blocking the connection through some program or firewall.
okay awesome well try that. neither of us have firewalls though snd it’s frustrating because it worked before and we have a year 5 farm 😦
I can promise you you both have firewalls, but generally they should simply behave. Also knowing it worked before could indicate a different thing, but as per usual with network issues the possibilities of how it's going wrong are endless.
@compact kraken ty ill do that
I cant find a way to seem to contact him
Idk his email
If i look at the website
Theres nothing there maybe im not double checking but nothing there
There's a github, there's the about us page, there's a bunch of contacting possibilities. https://upload.farm/about
My controller vibrate when i ride the horse, how can i disable that ?
Turn off vibrations
Where ?
Windows
Using steam?
Yes
Hm do you just want it for stardew or all games?
I'm not seeing one per game so yeah it's uh
top left steam > settings > controller > general controller settings > your controller > preferences > disable rumble or disable vibrations
Still vibrate
Submit yes
o_O what specific controller is it?
That's hm
If you're using mods I'd suggest this: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1779
Thanks
Though people seem to say it's broken.
Oh
There's also a rumble option in options itself, but then you also wouldn't get it for fishing and whatnot.

so me and my gf have completed all monster hunter goals at marlon's adventurers guild.
But no steam achievement for "Protector of the Valley" popped up? It also isn't colored out even though we did all of the monster hunter goals.
is it bugged?
because at Mr.QI's 100% tracker, it says "yes" at monster hunter
It could've been that steam was temporarily out when you got the achievement. You can either do the objective again, or use smapi to just use a command to trigger it.
hi i need help
my seeds got attacked because i forgot to put a scarecrown down is my seeds fucked?

Ive been patient, as u can see
Im sure it isnt a bug
I just want to know the source
You're holding an axe
and a prompt is coming up for a pickaxe
that looks like a bug to me
Hmm
I dont want to cause trouble with the devs if it isnt a issue though...
It'd just be a pain to everyone...
But oh well
this looks like a bug to me
Can you send it to them, i think i have to register?
From what I can see, in the first image you're hitting the rock with a pickaxe, and you're getting the message that your pickaxe isn't strong enough.
In the second picture you're using an axe, and somehow missed the tree and hit the rock again (I'm not sure how touch controls work), which gave a different message, implying you should use the pickaxe on the stone instead and not the axe.
If you did indeed miss the tree somehow, it would explain everything.
If you're consistently hitting the tree, seeing the tree shake, and are still getting that message, I'd say it's a bug.
I tried it with another tree, on its own, and the same message appeared
Thats whats happening
In that case I'd highly suggest reinstalling.
🤧
But i dont have anything else to save it on...
Should i try upgrading my pickaxe???
But then what is there to do, i cant delete the game, because i dont have anywhere to save it on
Im sure i could, try and get it struck by lightning, or upgrade my pickaxe, since thats what it wants...
I mean its just a couple of specific trees

You're playing SDV on a Kindle?
I'm surprised that has enough computational power to even boot up SDV.
Gaming gods would have a PC. :V
I do
So, I have a brand-spanking new laptop, and I tried to launch SV through steam. The Play button cycles for a few seconds to Stop and the returns to play, apparently doing nothing.
I have tried everything I can think of, including the troubleshooting steps posted frequently.
What am I missing?
have you tried reinstalling/repairing XNA?
Hey I have the shine of challenge stuck on my multiplayer world so it won’t change back to the regular mines. Is there anyway to fix this? (Switch)
what does the button in the chest "add to existing stack" mean and what does it do??
PS4, Stardew version 1.5.6
Mermaid cutscene not working year 1 night 1 & 2 of night market.
It didn't trigger at all. Even after waiting in-game hours.
Tried looking online, didn't see much about ps4 issues. Usually android has issues with this it seems?
How do I change the colour of barns in android?
you can;t
You need to wait for the update 1.5
Do you happen to have the quest for it active?
Is this game version 1.5.6...?
no it's 1.5.4
i think it's 1.5.4.smth on switch
We finished it. We got to level 120 and it said come back tomorrow. After we came back, it was the same even though we hadn’t removed the seal yet. Now it won’t turn back no matter if we have the seal on or off
Hmm
In my experience, when 2 people activate it at the same time it'll remain activated forever. Only fix I know of is a save file edit, which is not possible on the switch.
hey yolo 🧍 i found a glitch where you can duplicate the small glow ring infinitely, it doesnt just delete itself after trying to use it or something, the duplicates work normally, basically: the qi's collection quest for like 100 items of each color, i tried to put the small glow ring, and acidentally clicked it twice, i saw even though i have one in my inventory it kept adding and adding them, when i tried to bring them back in my inventory, it duplicated them even there! i dont know if this works with other rings as i only tried on the small glow ring and i uh filled the collection box-
Definitely a known glitch, but thanks for the report. If you want to abuse it you can always try it with more expensive rings. x)
now that i've filled the collection box that wouldnt work </3
Can always try next time the quest pops up.
Hii, i'm struggling a bit so if anyone can help, how do i start a farm with separate money?
It's an option you can select at the beginning of the farm creation, somewhere on the last tab?
If the farm has already started, you can change it at Lewis'.
I can't really find the tab
The wrench button on the bottom left?
uhh, there's multiplayer options but its only the amount of starting cabins and the cabin layout
Yes, version 1.5.6
town river might be glitched during winter because i'm only getting regular quality fishes, and i have fishing level 9
That's cool. But when I press options and view version on ps4, it says 1.5.6?
🤷♂️
I have a random question, me and my friend have set up an online farm together on Xbox (I am the host) ...if she comes over can she use her game profile and join in as normal just on split screen?
I'm guessing no, but you can easily check.
Well I hope it does, but we’ll make do either way.. thanks for answering 🙂
I'm having the same problem as this person. I've literally tried everything including re-downloading steam. It will say that the same is launching, and then nothing happens. There is no error message. It's been like this for a couple months now. I'm on PC, Windows 10.
!reinstalldeps
Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch for links).
We were pretty careful not to do anything we were suppose to because I was trying to get an item. So no one touched it unless we were told to by the only friend with a brain cell. But we do be stuck now
It could be that multiple people getting to the floor itself (and completed the challenge) triggered the bug, or even when multiple people were online at the time of accepting the quest. The problem is that there's currently 2 (or more) entries in your save file that says that the mines are in hardmode, while interacting with the shrine will only adjust 1 of those values.
I am genuinely unsure if there's any kind of fix for it. You could try messing around with it a bunch with your friends, without your friends, and hope that it'll somehow fix itself at some point. Without save editing as an option that's the best I can think of. :C
I think my game is trying to start in a different resolution than my monitor, so when i open it it's just a constant "Input not supported"
is there any way i could change the resolution outside of the game?
in %appdata%\StardewValley, there's a file called startup_preferences--you should be able to open that up in notepad++ or another text editor
alright, thanks
Are these ready to be harvest?
When will they be ready
idk look at the wiki i haven't farmed in like a year
i'm pretty sure its ready tomorrow then
4 days doesn't count planting day

I can't launch sv, i'm playing it in pc on steam. I have been playing it for months and it usually is fine until today. Whenever i run it, it opens for a few 5-10 seconds, shows a white screen and closes on its own
I already tried:
- restarting my pc
- verifying the game files
- uninstalling and reinstalling
- running it as admin
- use microsoft XNA
- deleting startup prefences
if someone knows how to fix this please ping/dm me, would be gladly appreciatedd, thanks
idk if anyone knows but if my friend buys stardew valley on mac can they play with me if im on a windows pc????
Yes

Have you tried installing smapi to see what the log might say?
!smapi
SMAPI (https://smapi.io/) is the mod loader for Stardew Valley. It loads mods into the game, provides APIs for mods to use, intercepts errors, and backs up your save files automatically.
!log
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
i just installed it, yet for some reason i don't have the file names as the guide suggests
Which filenames?
these
Ah, you're not even to getting a log, have you been able to start up smapi and have you seen the console? Does that say anything?
ohh, i haven't yet, i searched for the app and checked folders yet can't manage to find and use it 🥲
Either way, you can start smapi from the game install folder.
ah, thank youu, it works now! although i have to launch smapi instead of the game itself otherwise it won't work, is it supposed to be like that?
I mean, smapi was mostly only meant as troubleshooting step, but if it works, yay. You can change the steam launch options to start smapi as if you'd launch SDV normally.
The installer itself tells you how to do this upon completing installation. Easiest way would be to just install smapi again, this does no harm.
i keep getting the message “the software was close because and error occurred” on my switch and it doesn’t save so i have to restart my day
it happened once when i was going to bed, and on the christmas event it happened twice in a row right after i gave my gift.
does anyone know why?
also i have the physical copy with the cartridge instead of the digital one if that makes a difference
i see, it works now, thank you very much :))
Have you updated to 1.5?
yeah and i’ve checked to see if my switch needs to be updated as well but it doesn’t
Then I'd suggest reporting it directly to support, as I don't think we as a community can do much with Switch crashes. :C

[This is not a mod issue... I mean well I don't think it is.]
Basically when I first got SDV everything was great. No lag or anything. I was showing it to my friend just fine. Playing it just fine too. I downloaded up to 50 or so mods, game still working great for the first hour. I received no red notifications from SMAPI the whole time. Every 3 mods I would run through SMAPI to make sure they worked, so I was closing my application A LOT. Then suddenly my game started to give me some serious lag, to the point where it was just seriously unplayable. I assumed it was SMAPI or the mods so I uninstalled and reinstalled it about 2 times. Still receiving lag. So I deleted all the mods and ran it with JUST SMAPI (nothing else), there was still lag.
So at this point I thought it was SMAPI lagging my game, but after I uninstalled SMAPI from SDV I was still receiving lag. I restarted my computer 2 times. Still experiencing lag. I uninstalled SDV twice from steam, downloaded it back and I was still receiving lag. The thing is when I load into the game, I load in just fine... but then 30 seconds pass by and my frames start to deteriorate. And If I do say so myself my pc is pretty beefy, so at this point idk what it is...
I don't really know what to do now...
Luckily, I figured it out. Just ended up deleting a day 🙂 Thanks!
So, to get a few things straight. You're experiencing FPS lag. Does this consistently happen, worse during some times? And how much are we talking, down to 10fps, or just below 30fps? There's people who come by here when they get below 60fps.
Considering you've done everything with the game, the issue likely lies in your PC elsewhere, so... Have you tried messing with V-sync? Installed the latest drivers? Monitored resource monitor to see if it's occupying a single core? Done windows update?
it consistently happens, specifically every 30 or seconds. Its about below 30 when Im just walking but when I go into the menu or another location frame rates get back up but worsen over time. I've tried turning v-sync on and off frame rates still trash. D: Im gonna try what you suggested and ill be back
jm gonna ask again bc i dont think ppl saw this, why is it that when i use a fiberglass rod, i freeze in place? i cant open any menus
Any mods?
none
Does it not happen with other rods?
yeah i seem to be fine with bamboo and training
ill try to get a video to demonstrate
That'd help a bunch.
Wasn't this patched?
actually, i think it was
so sorry to waste your time haha i just tried it it works flawlessly
what does this mean? i found it on a note
A better question for #stardew-valley or #stardew-spoilers
if you touch the shells at the mermaid show (at the night festival in winter) in that order you’ll get a special cutscene
This is for technical support
tysm
guys, im having trouble with multiplayer... me and my partner usually play together with no problems but sometimes the invite doesnt work and they dont see the "enter code" option either. why is that? i always host, we always use good internet, i use a pc and they use a mac.

For connection issues in multiplayer see the pinned post in #vanilla-tech-support (<#vanilla-tech-support message>) and also the wiki troubleshooting page (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Can.27t_connect_to_another_player_in_multiplayer).
yeah but the usual tips arent working :/ our internet is good, we both have restarted steam and our computers
it's an issue with steam, keep trying to restart and it should fix itself eventually
hmm okay, im just sad cause my partner is completely unmotivated to keep trying. im gonna try the .exe thing, didnt try that yet
Hi my love, thank you for helping me! Turns out my drivers were not updated and i had two viruses on my part. Thank you so much! Theres no lag anymore!
That's great! Glad you were able to fix the problem. c:
oh yeah apparently that christmas event crashing over and over is a known bug which kinda sucks but oh well
Hello! Can somebody help me with co-op issues? I have been trying to join a couple people and have had Connection failed Pop up on my screen. How can I fix it? Shall I try reinstalling the game??

If I accidentally unplug my headset my stardew freezes & than crashes
that's an issue with XNA, the framework SDV uses. it needs a working audio device in order to work
does your PC have a working speaker? it can be muted but the game needs some kind of audio device or it will crash
the 'continue where u left off' pop up stopped showing up
just a screen without it, like just the background
and if i click anything it goes straight to the new / load screen
mobile
😩
my game wont start. i reinstalled everything in the redist folder and everything. no sign of life. not even the task manager. i deleted startup_prefrences . ran the game through admin mode and compatibility mode. reinstalled the game. nothing. please help.
does somebody knows what's code for beta?
!saves
@rugged temple Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
Hopefully they are here
Did you reinstall xna?
Wdym what codes for beta?
code for beta stardew valley on steam
i heard there was a code "jumpingjunimos" but it doesn't work
I did
That may have been an old thing tbh
@compact kraken this is your specialty thing ;P
oh, thanks
My game was working fine like 3 days ago
Stopped for 3 days then came back and it dont launch
I hath been summoned. This works for Corrin a lot, so might as well refer to it first...
!reinstalldeps @spare anvil
@spare anvil Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch for links).
If that doesn't work, lemme know and we'll try another thing.
okay . thanks . will try
it shows me this
how do i uninstall dot net? i cant find it in control panel
the article says try repair tool. i will try iut
The repair tool didn't do anything
Is that windows 10?
if you were to move your mobile save files (1.4.5) to pc (1.5.4) is there a way to change it back to previous version so you can use them on mobile again?
does sdv support the wavebird controller or i have to use joytokey and/or 3rd party applications for being able to play it in a controller?
I don't think so
If you are using steam as long as steam recognizes it you can make stardew recognize it
no steam does not
On your controller settings do you have "Generic controller support" checked?
Or for that matter all of them just in case
On steam
thanks!
Do you know where to look?
It's simple! Top left of steam click on "steam" > settings > controller > general controller settings
And then another window will pop up and you can click the controller supports (I just do them all in case friends ever come over with other controllers that way it's no fuss no hassle later)
Did you also try the XNA install?
Yes
Still nothing?
potato
yeah nothing
all other apps work fine
and i didnt change anything in windows settings either
Don't suppose you have Terraria as well?
And yeah, windows update can break things for no reason.
i have the game just not installed
Ah, well, it'd just be a check.
Instead, could you go check which Microsoft XNA's are currently installed in either Programs and Features or Apps & Features?
yep its installed
Right, uninstall both of those, I'd suggest Refresh first.
Then install this one: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914
(Yay, Microsoft's own link is back)
alright ill try
hmm still nothing
when i click on the game i see it for 0.5 seconds in the task manager
then dissapears
Aight, do you know about smapi and how to install it?
yep . i used to play with mods before all this happened
now im just trying to run vanilla just nothing
Well, you can still use smapi and play vanilla, as smapi alone doesn't technically change anything, but in this case we'll be using it for logging to see if there's something wrong with the dll's it's trying to load.
alright. so i install it then what do i do?
Boot it up, see what the console says
Hey @ashen crystal , made this message for people who have issues setting up controllers, as it's a frequent issue, could you make a bot command out of it please?
Want to play with two steam controllers? Do this: Due to how the steam controllers work they are a little funky but these bindings will allow two to work perfectly.
Player 1: steam://controllerconfig/413150/2436088362
Player 2: steam://controllerconfig/413150/2436114794
are there any logs i could send?
please help the first incubator is glitched - left (i have that ui mod that tells you when they hatch but it's literally empty) and i can't even break it or whatever
Seeing you're using a mod, and it's likely affecting the game, I'd suggest going to #archived-modded-support
When you start stardewvalleymoddingapi.exe?
i was getting this error yesterday night when i tried to open the game. now it doesnt show anything
yes
Okay, that coincides with the console not even staying around, meaning somehting about the .net installation is kaput. How to fix it however...
As a sidenote, have you recently reinstalled and or moved your windows installation?
i havent but i did update windows after i got the above error message
E
Smart
it probably auto updated a couple days ago and i didnt notice and windows broke something like it always did
if nothing works i might just reinstall windows completely
I had to do that not too long ago for another game but it was also right after a windows update so I knew windows was eventually the cause
god cant microsoft do anything correctly holy shit
That would most definitely fix the issue, but I'm sure it can be fixed.
i read more than like 20 articles
Well, there's always using a restore point in cases like these.
But, have you tried scf /scannow in console?
i havent . kinda avoided it since it takes so long
but i will try when i go back home
i have a restore point from 4 days ago. ill try it
Well, it technically shouldn't take long at all. If it takes long, it means there's an issue.
Another thing to check is if the file exists in the location of what is shown in the error message. In this case C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\
Would it theoretically take longer depending on drive type though?
Ah, yeah, that would technically take quite a bit longer than an SSD.
But even then it likely shouldn't be more than 10 minutes or so.
i;ll try restore point. then SFC /scannow then a complete reinstall
hopefully one of those will fix it
Reinstall definitely will. I'll always admire people who are fine with reinstalling windows on a whim. x)
thanks for your help guys 
haha yeah
If you ever have a tiny bit extra money it's pretty good to get a small ssd for cheap and just use it for windows. My old hdd was dying and oh boy
It installs in roughly 7 minutes on an m.2 I'll gladly do it
Oh yeah, windows on an SSD makes a world of difference, and they're not even that stupid expensive anymore.
I just unplug my games drive and off it goes
yep definetly its just i need the 1tb space and im on a laptop and 1tb ssd are a little expensive
and my laptop sadly dont support double drives
Well that's no fun :/
I have WAY too many programs I regularly use that'll break upon reinstalling windows, and it'll take a day or 2 to completely return everything the way it was.
I keep everything non windows not on the drive
If your laptop has a 3.0 usb drive you could consider an external one, there's some out there that allow even games to be loaded from it.
That way me reinstalling involves redownloading nvidia drivers and that's it
yea. i may be getting a whole new system this summer anyways . if everything goes well and the gpu shortage calms down
One can only hope...
its going to be a PC since buying a laptop 3 years ago was a mistake
like the only thing laptops are good for is mobility and i dont even move this one off my desk hehe
At least you'll have a backup laptop for portability hehe
yep definetly
hello, i'm having a problem with saving my game, it's been showing me the black saving screen at the end of a day for more than an hr. i'm pretty sure it's smth to do w mods as it was an old save from stardew 1.3.36 which i loaded directly into 1.5.4 with different mods... can i request help here or should i just go to the mods section?
#archived-modded-support can help you!
ok thanks!
What do I plant in the winter ???
A better question for #stardew-valley
I'll add this for now (!controller), but long-term it would be better to put this information on the wiki and have the command just link to that page
Thank you so much! I'll look into adding it to the wiki once I have some free time (:
Hello was just wondering if the second character in a local split characters disappear after you close the session and if there was a way to keep them playable and their inventories
I mean, they still exist, in data, so you can continue playing them when you start split-screen again. If you want access to their inventory, you can visit Lewis' lost and found, and you can take any of their items.
does a full day need to pass before the game saves the character in the data, cuz i was doing a few tests and i usually left before the first day was over is that maybe the problem?
yeah that was the case, thanks for the help!
hey i think i'm having a bug, i did the bug meat special order but i didn't get the quality bobber recipe and when i checked my old mail again there's just this on willy's note
I may have found a bug aswell in multiplayer
it was year 2 day 28 winter ending and there wasn't the grandpa cutscene but the evaluation was complete
in addition at 1am on 1st spring year 3, the cutscene initiated and once it finished me and my friend were both passed out as it was 2am
Since you have mods I'd post your log in #archived-modded-support
Is this a bug, or just luck?
Oh
can anyone help me with this it wont open, btw i am using mods
Probably ask in #archived-modded-support then
okie
Still nothing about mermaid show at the night market on console not starting?
Back-reading this discord it seems to be a pretty common problem.
I've posted a few times in here but have gotten very few responses from anyone.
I don't really want to keep playing my save if it's messed up somehow and miss out on other things.
But I also don't want to restart because I don't have much time to game these days.
A better question for #stardew-valley this is for technical support such as bugs or the game not starting
