Mods?

No mod

worthy lake
#

Legit copies of game?

patent smelt
#

Yes through steam

worthy lake
#

Hmmm. Sounds like a sync issue. Might try other person hosting. Seen this before where people were 14 hours ahead in game I can't remember the solution or if there was one

patent smelt
#

Though not for a long in game time lets say, we tried me hosting and she joining but it was the same (she faced the same issues as me)

#

We tried turning off the steam save sync to the cloud but it didnt helped

#

i hope it gets solved somehow because this is like the perfect game to play with my SO 😅

#

I can provide additional details if it is needed i really want this to be solved

#

@finite delta can you take a look please?

#

I tried searching internet but there were very few proposed solutions

If you've checked that it's not a mod bug, you can report bugs to the Stardew Valley developers here: https://forums.stardewvalley.net/forums/help-bug-reports.12/ (do a quick search first so you don't report something they're already looking into). Alternatively, you can email support@stardewvalley.net

hi, there seems to be a bug where artifacts and gems don’t show in your achievements/acquired items even after donating to gunther. i heard it’s a known bug but idk a workaround and im playing on the ipad

happens with the rare disc and the skeletal tail

i’ve acquired them multiple times and kept them in my inventory but they still don’t show

Hi, I need help because my multiplayer farm cannot be started / opened.

More accurate:
I want to play Stardew Valley with my friend and start the multiplayer farm:
The loading screen comes on, but the picture stops and Stardew closes.

I've tried everything, the world out of the folder and back in again. Stardew uninstalled and installed. Maybe you can help me

worthy lake
#

Do you play with mods and do you have a legit copy of the game?

grave pond
#

I bought it on Steam and nope i/we dont play with mods.

#

Yes i do have a legit copy.

worthy lake
#

I'm assuming your friend/s are not using mods and also have a legit copy?

grave pond
#

Yes we both dont use Mods and have a legit copy.

#

This problem has existed since yesterday, and i googled but nothing came out.

worthy lake
#

Hmmm. Can you even create a single player farm?

grave pond
#

That works, but the multiplayer farm doesn't, I can also create a new multiplayer farm and play and join on it.

worthy lake
#

Can your friend join you if you create it?

grave pond
#

He can join the new farm, but not the old one.

worthy lake
#

Oh wait it's an old world not loading?

Hello there. I have a question for you. We have completed our 4th year in the game with my friend. When we started the game, we entered with the "four-cornered field" map. But we don't want to use this map anymore. We want to revert to the standard version. I started with the solutions I found on the internet, but the problem is that when we change the map type, there are some indelible objects. Do you know the way to remove them?

Will try now

[SMAPI] Skipped mods

[SMAPI] These mods could not be added to your game.

[SMAPI] - BushReset 1.0.0 because it's no longer compatible. Please check for a new version at https://smapi.io/mods

gilded sluice
#

Check for a new version then xd

#

Try that if not

#

I know that works

viscid vale
#

This mod was last updated in 2018. The problem is that even if I can lift these bushes, I don't know how I will react in multiplayer.

viscid vale
compact kraken
viscid vale
#

I can destroy the bushes with the mod you send me. However, there are certain points that indicate that the map is incompatible. I think we should accept the map as such and play accordingly. Thank you very much for your help and feedback.

hello everyone!

Do anyone here have any experience with installing the game from GOG on Linux?

Is there a way to get the tea sapling if you never got it when you got to 2 hearts with Caroline? I just realized that I never entered her plant room when I had enough hearts with her to get the cut scene. I have 10 hearts with her now. I kinda need the recipe for 100% completion

#

I tried entering the room to trigger the cutscene and nothing happened

hoary night
#

It might need specific time of day or year to trigger? I definitely got the scene when I was at like 6 hearts with Caroline so it should be possible

You may need to contact Google support about that, but some basic steps you can try (attempting to install after each)

  • restart the Play Store app
  • switch from wifi to cellular (or the other way around)
  • restart your phone

how do i play 2 people in split screen on the Nintendo switch?

hexed apex
#

I had this game on switch and decided to get it on PC as well because mouse would be much easier to do on my PC instead of using ingame mouse. I loaded the game, played through the first week or so, and noticed the UI has a weird scaling bug. Is there a fix for this? I am running on a 4K screen, and the star sky background when I sell items and load a save is scaled improperly too.

#

Oh no I forgot to mark it as spoiler peepoSad I hope it's fine

#

Also UI scale is set to 100% and the resolution for my game is the right resolution. Scaling up the UI does fix the text being cut off but I think the UI is scaled fine the way it is. (it looks blurry too when I scale the UI up)

Hi guys, I wanted to clarify if something was a bug or not --
I'm in multiplayer with a friend who was much further behind than me so they don't have a lot of recipes or relationships and such. I recently completed the Greenhouse and my friend got the cutscene and the new recipe but the NPC didn't approach me and I don't have the recipe, despite being the host and also being the one who completed the Greenhouse...

Is this a bug or will I get it later or something? I read on the wiki that she comes between 6am and 11am on a sunny day, and I left the building first - same day, within the time zone.

Hello, in multiplayer mode, if the community centre is complete, shouldn't both players get the achievement? My friend got his Local Legend achievement right after but I didn't..Is it a bug or only the last person to complete the bundle is supposed to get it?

I think I broke the game the other day. It's a two-player co-op session.

I was entering a shed on the farm and my horse is standing right in front of the door. So the screen transitions from outside to inside the shed, but somehow I managed to mount the horse WHILE entering the shed (during that short fade to black). I might have right-clicked twice. Don't remember.

What my screen now shows is the inside of the shed, but my character isn't there. Can't move either. So now I'm stuck. I was still able to select items from my inventory and (for example) swing my scythe.
I had my co-op partner come into the shed. She said neither I nor the horse were in or outside the shed, but that she could HEAR the sound of my scythe inside. Yes, I'm basically haunting the shed now.

Only thing I could do was wait for the day to end and pass out.

Anyways, that's the story of how me and my horse ended up in some kind of SDV version of the Twilight Zone. Spooky shit.

Not really looking for support on that one. 😆

Xbox Multiplayer Connection Issue: Two friends are unable to join each others sessions or sessions that have the other person in it. Both are using spectrum internet, both have open NAT, each have contacted their service provider to no avail, tried restarting routers, opening ports, reinstalling all of our games, and every other thing we can think of and have seen suggested online. We love this game and we loved the farm we were working on before this issue started and we haven't found another game that we enjoy this much. Any help? Please?

#

I'll check this again but we've done every thing from their list of suggested fixes. I'll see if there is anything we overlooked, thank you.

#

Ah, sadly the list is just things we've already tried. I've seen a fair amount of other people with this issue but I've never seen any follow up with a working solution.

So, I was doing some construction work on my island and I decided to tear down some buildings. I destroyed a well, the game gave me the prompt as to if I wanted to tear down a [player]’s house. I had second thoughts and said no. When I went back, the game clipped me inside Robin’s desk.

I do not know the channel of where to report bugs, so I just brought it here. If I need to repost this somewhere else just tell me so.

I am playing on Nintendo Switch, vs. 1.5.4.1, if that helps?

The only way i could get out of it was to waste all my energy or wait till 2am.

Howdy all,

I have 129 golden walnuts. The parrot in Leo's (old) house no longer gives any clues (merely says "Awk!" without the second dialogue giving a hint). On the wiki it claims there are three specific golden walnut groups that don't have clues: gorilla puzzle, the golden walnut below the gem/bird/statue puzzle in the jungle, and the 3 from the dart game. I am sure I have all of these.

I have repeatedly looked through guides and feel as though I have collected all the golden walnuts. I have also checked the museum and Dr. Snail doesn't have any for me or anything like that.

(1) I have read there is a glitch that can cause this. Is that true?

(2) I am on a Switch. Is there anyway to check the save game data or edit it to fix this issue if it is a glitch?

Thanks!

worthy lake
#

It could be a bug and since you're on switch there wouldn't be much you could do but hope that an update may fix it

Hi! Sorry to bother ya'll, but my game just crashed itself (twice this has happened) because my power chord had wiggled it's way out, so I put it back in. And it just Bam, froze and then crashed. I've got the smapi log, and it says nothing bad happened, but I'm not sure that's the case.

#

Would someone be willing to take a look at it?

okay... anytime i exit my house for more than 5 seconds on a rainy day, it immediately stops. There is still an icon that indicates thunder and lightning, so it should be raining. I have mods, but there is NO ERROS in my logs, which indicate this ISNT a mod issue, so honestly, i dont really know.

worthy lake
#

Can you reproduce it without mods

zinc oriole
#

i dont think so, i think my game would crash on this farm without mods. either way, if it shows NO errors in my logs referring to weather, then it shouldnt be mods, right?

#

it finally stayed raining this time, but for the past like 5 times, its stopped and turned to night despite it being early

#

i think its something to do with beach farm

worthy lake
#

Rule of thumb is assume it's a mod unless you can produce without mods

zinc oriole
#

its been fine for the past like 5 years in game xD pretty much same mods, suddenly i get beach farm and anytime it rains, it stops

#

Something is conflicting

worthy lake
#

Probably mods ;P

zinc oriole
#

its the same mods, ive had rain just fine in the past without it stopping.

worthy lake
#

Again, unless you can specifically reproduce without mods it's mods

Yeah I was about to say that, but can you actually change the farm name??

hexed apex
#

I don't think so?

peak osprey

by save editing is the only way (sorry just woke up, brain's still a bit fuzzy haha)

rotund drift

I know you can probably change your name and your outfit/ accessories but I don't know about the farm name

peak osprey
#

but like i said since it's a new save, just make another

@compact kraken little weird, but yeah, i kinda get it now. im gonna try a beach farm without mods and see if i skip it to rain if it stops.

I know this isn't quite the right place for it, but this community is way more helpful than most on the internet.
I get a new PC and I've got a not great GPU, a GeForce GT1030 and when I open Steam, I can play some games but not others. Portal plays fine but when I try to open SDV or Fallout 4 it just says preparing to launch then nothing happens. All my drivers are up to date, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've verified the integrity or the game files
Does this mean I need a better GPU?

mighty kettleBOT

#

it's probably one of these two frameworks, SDV can run on a potato usually

and fo4's minimum is 550Ti so i feel like that must be a similar issue

Well, the message is saying you're not, so...

#

Either way, it seems like something is keeping the files in use? Do you have some kind of automatic backup system, or an annoying antivirus?

glossy cosmos
#

i cant find any antivirus on my pc

compact kraken
#

Then it's likely some automatic backup system.

glossy cosmos
#

All i have is a Virus protection thing on my pc thats it

compact kraken
#

That's an antivirus, yes.

#

You could try temporarily disabling it and see if it allows you to play the game.

compact kraken
#

That entirely depends on your computer, but it's likely as simple as right clicking the tray icon and telling it to turn off (for a time).

glossy cosmos
compact kraken
#

Try doing the log thing again.

glossy cosmos
#

the Errorlog there nothing in there

compact kraken
#

If you booted it up at least once it should. What does the console say? Could your screenshot it?

glossy cosmos
#

yeah let me see how i can do that on my pc

compact kraken
#

You could just Windows + Shift + S to make a screenshot, then Ctrl + V in here.
I asked a screenshot of the console that pops up when you start the game though, not the folder. And even then it'd help seeing inside the folder to see it's empty, haha.

glossy cosmos
compact kraken
#

Did you install smapi?

glossy cosmos
#

yes

compact kraken
#

Then the box should say something more.

glossy cosmos
compact kraken
#

And the black box has no text?

glossy cosmos
#

just says preparing launch thats it

#

then it doesnt do anything

Aight, well, if not even smapi works I'm 99% sure that something's wrong with your .NET.

Steam will keep overwriting it if you can grab an old one so disable the steam cloud

I have the case of crashing upon launch. Opening via Steam will consider that it’s currently running, but the game isn’t showing up.

#

Here is the .txt file from the ErrorLogs.

#

I’ve tried reinstallation of both game and the framework 4.0, opting in and out of Steam Beta despite not even joining in the first place, logging in and out, restarting the laptop, and the other methods of fix I could find.

yello peeps... Some of my achievements unlocked in game haven't appeared on Steam. Is their any way to fix this? Thanks in advance :)

Using mods if you can't reach it

they probably swung a sword at the wall to glitch into it, if they didn't do that they would've used a mod

#

Now there’s another issue, I logged into his steam account on my computer just to see if I saw the enter code option and I did. I opened the game under his account but it was not his character it was mine. When he logged back into his account and opened our world he was my character not his

I have no idea what’s going on 😂

Try restarting your computer. Mine wouldn’t open when I first downloaded it too

torpid sleet

ok

are you running through steam?

torpid sleet

yes

chrome sandal

try reinstalling xna

!reinstalldeps

mighty kettleBOT
torpid sleet
#

@chrome sandal still not working

chrome sandal
#

have you tried running the exe straight?

torpid sleet
#

yes

#

but not working game

chrome sandal
#

are you running it on a desktop? Is there a working audio device connected?

torpid sleet
#

im using laptop /no i don't use audio device

chrome sandal
#

The game needs an audio device to work, but I'm assuming your laptop has speakers. try restarting your PC again and try again

torpid sleet
#

i restared laptop and using audio device but still not working

#

why game not working 😡

peak osprey
#

also, did you just buy the game/get it on a new computer, @torpid sleet, or have you been able to play it before without an issue?

torpid sleet
#

and game still not working

#

😤

vague hornet
#

@peak osprey So it did not work. 😞

#

After that, it just crashed or did not even launched; it stopped running like it exited or something.

proud minnow
#

hey
just to ask
but anyone know how to convert a save from pc to ps vita?
i'm trying but fail

worthy lake
#

You def can't

#

Afaik PS Vita's last version is 1.2? And Pc is 1.5 so

#

You might be able to go VITA to PC but idk how that would even work

proud minnow
#

i put the vita save decrypted save to pc and its work

#

but the backway is'nt

worthy lake
#

Correct

#

VIta is missing 3 updates of content

proud minnow
#

:v

#

but i cannot encrypt the save back to play in the vita

#

:v

worthy lake
#

You'd probably have better help on a PS Vita forum tbh. That or starting a new save on it if you can't get it re-encrypted

worthy bluff
#

There a way to transfer save from tablet/mobile to switch?

proud minnow

#

And make sure you have an audio device plugged in

worthy lake
#

That always works

vague hornet
#

My bad.

#

But I did install the XNA Framework 4.0.

#

Does installing the .NET Framework require restarting the desktop/laptop?

worthy lake
#

Uhhh, I'm not sure, it wouldn't hurt to do so however

pallid jacinth
#

anyone want to be my friend?

vague hornet
worthy lake
#

That I'm not too sure on

compact kraken
winter hearth
compact kraken
#

The frame of lag?

winter hearth
compact kraken
# winter hearth Yes

Well, fps lag is affected by many things. A few of these things you can check is:
Are you playing MP? Are you using mods? Is your machine powerful enough? Have you tried checking if it's 100%ing a cpu thread? Do you have a antivirus going in the background? Are there other heavy programs running in the background?

vague hornet
#

So, I just saw the game running in the Task Manager. But the thing is, it is only running in the background.

#

After that, it will crash and end process on itself.

compact kraken
#

How long does that take?

vague hornet
#

I am not running with mods, I just purchased the game a day ago.

#

And just installed it for the first time.

compact kraken
#

Don't suppose you have Terraria as well?

#

And I meant how long does that take, as in, how long does it take for it to crash after starting it?

vague hornet
#

Usually, upon attempt of launching the game, it will run for a few seconds.

compact kraken
#

But only in the background, yeah?

vague hornet
#

It would not show up, then it will crash.

compact kraken
#

Gotcha

vague hornet
compact kraken
#

For additional info on solving the issue I'd suggest installing smapi, for the logging capability.

vague hornet
#

Isn’t that for Android only?

compact kraken
#

Nah

#

!smapi

mighty kettleBOT
#

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.

vague hornet
#

Then it must be the one preventing the game to actually launch.

compact kraken
#

Eh?

vague hornet
#

I don’t have SMAPI yet since I don’t have a game so far that requires it.

compact kraken
#

But you installed it, right?

vague hornet
#

The game? Yes. SMAPI, not yet. Currently am, though.

compact kraken
#

Cool, will await log or screenshot of console then.

vague hornet
#

I have reinstalled the .NET and XNA Frameworks multiple times.

compact kraken
#

Could be that one file is simply corrupt, this'll help us hunt down which one.

#

As a sidenote, don't suppose you recently reinstalled or moved your windows installation?

vague hornet
#

Here’s the latest ErrorLog .TXT file I have gotten, just in case.

compact kraken
#

Complains about XNA, but that's kinda logical.

vague hornet
compact kraken
#

Yeah, no problem. The cases of the aforementioned situation usually can't be fixed without a reinstall of windows. Or at least, I haven't been able to fix that yet, too many windows-related problems.
It's very possible a single windows update (or a faulty XNA install) could've easily borked one of the dll files. A simple replacement would work.

vague hornet
#

That, I don’t know how to track.

stray storm
#

is there a way to go back to a previous save? our multiplayer world just friggin reverted back to spring 1 year 1. my inventory and skills are still the same as it was, my house is upgraded fully but all non standard furniture is gone, the greenhouse is still available but all the bundles have reset

vague hornet
#

A broken or butchered .DLL file or two.

mighty kettleBOT
compact kraken
#

The _old save file should be the previous day. So if you didn't play into Spring 2, you should be able to use the backed up save.

#

@compact kraken I am asked where I should install SMAPI.

#

Should it be in the same folder as the game?

#

I got it from Steam, btw, for additional context.

#

its a multiplayer server with 3 other people and we were in winter 16 ish

But all I need to do is enter 1 or 2, otherwise both 1 if for the first time.

compact kraken

vague hornet
compact kraken
#

Oh, same as game, of course.

vague hornet
#

Second question is if I want to install or uninstall, 1 and 2 respectively.

compact kraken
#

Well, also 1, install.

vague hornet
#

How do I set my launch options to enable achievements?

#

Since I don’t think I plan to play with mods for now.

compact kraken
#

Well, right now it's not super necessary to do that, you can for now just start smapi directly.

#

If you start it through steam it'll just start the default game without smapi.

#

But we're just using smapi to debug this, so no need for it right now.
If you still want to do it later on you can either check the website, or run the installer again.

vague hornet
#

Okay. I’ll update if it doesn’t run properly still. ‘Dat okay?

compact kraken
#

Did it boot?

vague hornet
#

Hold on… I’m asked to do something. 😓

stray storm
#

is there any special setting to allow commands?

#

cause mind aren't going through

compact kraken
#

Allow commands how? Are you the host of the farm?

stray storm
#

yup

#

trynna /clearfarm

#

but it isnt clearing

compact kraken
#

Are you doing it in the console?

#

If so, you don't need the /

stray storm
#

nope

#

windows

compact kraken
#

...windows? What?

stray storm
#

like im on computers

compact kraken
#

Nono, in the console. As in, the black window with text in it, that's a console.

#

The cmd.

stray storm
#

oh

#

LMAO

#

ok one sec i was putting it in chat

worthy lake
#

Right click the graph and make it show all cores. I think that's how you do it

winter hearth
#

it's just back to normal again. everything is fine now. i'm so confused

compact kraken
#

Even if you walk in the same spot around the same ingame time?

compact kraken
#

As I mentioned before, there's a ton of things in the background that can suddenly desire an entire thread's attention, giving your game a kick.

worthy lake
#

Equally at least with mods eventually after playing so long it just starts to stutter and what not but usually a restart of the game fixes it

vague hornet
#

Do I have to restart the laptop after installing SMAPI?

#

I tried to open the game via the StardewModdingAPI.exe and it opened the CMD application whilst processing it.

#

But an error occurred once more. I wasn’t able to read it.

compact kraken
#

So when you started it through StardewModdingAPI.exe it did not stick around to tell you what went wrong?

vague hornet
#

It did, but I wasn’t able to read it fast enough because it was so quick.

compact kraken
#

Right, but it's not usually supposed to close by itself, only after you press a button.

vague hornet
#

Isn’t there a log for that?

#

Let me try again.

compact kraken
#

You can quickly take a screenshot with Windows + Shift + S.

#

Having said that, I need to bamf for a while, I'll ping you again when I'm back.

vague hornet
#

It’s really, really quick. Haha~

#

It’s blocked by the game opening briefly with the cursor on the top-left.

compact kraken
#

Wait, the game actually opens?

vague hornet
#

After that, it quickly crashes.

#

Yeah, but in plain white, leaving the cursor at the top-left like I said.

chilly crypt
#

having the same problem

vague hornet
#

Okay. I finally got a screenshot of it.

chilly crypt
#

maybe it is not the same

#

my game actually opens an white screen then crashes

vague hornet
chilly crypt
#

oh lol

vague hornet
#

But it pops up after the CMD exec.

#

You might have not seen it because the game in white blocks the CMD application.

chilly crypt
#

maybe!1

#

i tried everuthing that i could find

#

but it still won't open

vague hornet
#

This is what it looks like with the game briefly opened before crashing.

chilly crypt
#

for me it is just a white screen with nothing in it

vague hornet
#

Oof!

#

Okay. Perhaps yours is different from mine. 😅

#

My bad.

chilly crypt
#

nah, it's ok

#

this is what it looks like

compact kraken
# vague hornet

Aight, back. Don't suppose you have a log of this? So I can see the start?

#

Should be in %AppData%\StardewValley\ErrorLogs

#

Like 87% sure it's a wrong/broken dll.

vague hornet
vague hornet
compact kraken
#

I'm fairly sure that it's different at the start. But regardless, just to get the basics done first. You've uninstalled and reinstalled XNA before?

vague hornet
#

Yep. Multiple times now.

compact kraken
#

Explicitly uninstalled?

#

Could I ask which link you used to reinstall it?

vague hornet
#

Yes, in the Control Panel. There seems to be two one is the standard one, and the other has the “Refreshed” at the end.

compact kraken
#

And you've removed both before?

vague hornet
#

Both were uninstalled. After that, I restarted the laptop, then reinstalled it.

#

And then restarted the laptop once more.

compact kraken
#

Aight, well, good job on that. Done as well as it could've been done.

vague hornet
compact kraken
#

Yeah, that's fixed people's issues before, shouldn't be a bad download.

vague hornet
#

Though, before that, I installed the XNA from the Steam files. I think it was from the ‘_CommonRedist’ folder.

compact kraken
#

Yeah, that's generally the right way to go. ...makes me think if there's something wrong with those instead though. Who knows.

#

There's 2 things that can be done at this point. You can download a program that'll look at the game's dependencies to see which dll is at fault, or you can just replace the dll's with from either a machine you trust or from me; a random internet stranger who could've tampered with the files.

vague hornet
#

I could try the former first. But right now, I’m no longer on the laptop.

#

I’ve turned it off since it’s 01:51 AM for me.

compact kraken
#

Neat, I usually help people on the other side of the time zones.

vague hornet
#

Although, can we continue this troubleshooting thing later? Or maybe we can discuss it now so I know what to do when I get back on the laptop.

compact kraken
#

You can ping me whenever you're awake again. If you want I can leave behind some instructions on what to do with a ping.

vague hornet
#

Hmm… I’m thinking we should continue this when I get to wake up again.

#

This channel might get buried with new messages. ^^;;

compact kraken
#

Like I said, I can ping you, so you can find it back later.

vague hornet
#

I guess so, if you want.

compact kraken
#

Sure

compact kraken
# vague hornet I guess so, if you want.

I'll try to be as concise as possible.

  • Download Dependencies (https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies) Download here link about half a page down), unzip somewhere, and open DependenciesGui.exe
  • Hit open, find Stardew Valley.exe (not smapi), open it.
  • Expand the first line at the top that has the SDV icon. (Click the arrow or double click the line)
  • Search for the line that contains Microsoft.Xna.Framework, but has nothing behind it. Not graphics or game. Expand that again.
  • In here is a list of the possible DLL's that are mismatching or missing. The problematic ones will likely look very different than the rest.
  • The likely culprits are either X3DAudio1_7.dll or MSVCP100.dll, but maybe there's another dll missing or mismatched.
  • Take note of which file it is, and where it's located. Copy this file from a working system (or get it from someone you trust) and replace the one on your system. Also if you want, rename the original one first to keep it as backup.
  • Try starting the game again!

Might you not be able to go through all of these steps, like the game not expanding, or Xna not being expandable it means it's an even different issue that I'll have to look at, feel free to get a screenshot of where it stops being the same as explained.

Hey so I’m a little late but yesterday I was having the issue of not being able to join a multiplayer game and I had no option to enter in the code. I only saw Join LAN and it looked like this

#

Well I found the solution!!!!!! You have to open up another game in steam that is connected to the internet or has multiplayer and make sure that you can join multiplayer games on that game. Then directly after that, close that game and open stardew valley right away and you will be able to enter in invite codes!!!! This video shows how to do it https://youtu.be/y_-3VnafOzI

Update: Some people needed the VC-Redist 2013 install before this workaround worked.

Stardew uses a separate extension to access its online service. And it has to go through steam web helper. By opening a different program steam web helper is prompted to allow internet connection; something that Stardew is somehow unable to do at the moment. Do...

@compact kraken I don’t know how to identify a bad .DLL file unless the indicator is the one with correct or incorrect under the Checksum, but I found it: Microsoft.Xna.Framework

#

It is this one, right?

#

The .DLL files with the incorrect value are: Netcode.dll, xTile.dll, StardewValley.GameData.dll and Steamworks.NET.dll

#

Oof! Nvm, there is actual wrong file.

#

It’s the OLEAUT32.dll file.

#

And it has missing ports.

compact kraken
# vague hornet <@!83130854540316672> I don’t know how to identify a bad .DLL file unless the in...

I recall that the missing dll's are in the red. They'll also have some kind of alarm icon next to them (it's been a while since I've seen a faulty one). There might be some dll's simply complaining about not being able to find old and outdated references though, doesn't mean they're the problem. In my case there was also something off about OLEAT32.dll, but nothing was technically wrong with it.

#

Actually, I suddenly remember, if it doesn't have the right reference, it won't show the location of the file at all.

vague hornet
#

Yeah, that’s it. The OLEAUT32.dll is in red.

#

Actually, it’s the only file in red below the Microsoft.Xna.Framework.

compact kraken
#

Could you show the list scrolled to the left?

vague hornet
#

Hold on. Lemme start the Dependencies.exe again. It’s pretty slow.

compact kraken
#

Hold up, you never expanded the Xna dll. Could you do that and send a screen of that?

#

It's supposed to more or less look like this.

vague hornet
#

That’s about right.

compact kraken
#

Then your issue likely doesn't lie in dll's missing. Could I ask what the problem is?

Yeah, that genuinely looks ok

Oh! I expanded the OLEAUT32.dll as well. Would that help?

compact kraken
#

That would indicate a problem with .NET.

vague hornet
#

I’ll try checking further.

compact kraken
#

Nah, OLEAUT32.dll is just something that will complain.

vague hornet
#

I see the combase.dll under the OLEAUT32.dll having an error.

compact kraken
#

The problem would be missing dll's, because it can't find the right one.

#

Again, I have the same thing, with me my game works fine. x)

vague hornet
#

Under that shows the OLEAUT32.dll and another file, WS2_32.dll.

compact kraken
#

Complaining things can simply indicate old deprecated dll's missing.

vague hornet
#

Then I’m bust. Can’t pinpoint the issue at this point.

compact kraken
#

Like I said, the XNA problem is only when smapi is actually able to start. If smapi can't, it means there's something wrong with your .NET, as that's what's called first before XNA is loaded.

#

!reinstalldeps I'd suggest doing the thing regarding the .NET.

mighty kettleBOT
compact kraken
#

If that doesn't work, it's very likely that there's something critically broken in your windows installation.

vague hornet
#

I reinstalled the XNA Framework multiple times. Though the I don’t even know how to handle the .NET Framework to begin with.

compact kraken
#

It's just a download that'll let you repair

vague hornet
#

I have this downloaded: NDP452-KB2901954-Web.exe.

#

Which installs that (.NET Framework), I think.

#

Problem is, I need to uninstall it first.

compact kraken
#

Impossible, .NET is integral to windows 10, only way to uninstall that is to uninstall windows, which, is a last ditch effort.

vague hornet
#

It says that I need to remove .NET first, based on the link the bot sent here.

compact kraken
#

One of the first lines in the uninstall thing is

The .NET Framework cannot be uninstalled on Windows 8 and 10.
Meaning this is for Windows 7 and older, so ignore the uninstall part.

#

Just try the repair

vague hornet
compact kraken
#

Hrrmm

#

I have to admit, with the regular troubleshooting steps attempted, even the more thorough checks coming back clear, and the game not launching without giving any additional information because even smapi simply refuses to doesn't give me much more to work with. :/

#

You're absolutely sure that even when you start StardewModdingAPI.exe manually that not a single box pops up?

vague hornet
#

Oh, wait. Did I not send a screenshot here? It opens the CMD application showing errors.

#

Then, it pops up the game for a split second in white with the cursor at the top-left and what seems to be the menu button at the top-right.

compact kraken
#

Oh, it does pop up the game? Aight, that's a lot different then. Would also imply that smapi left a log. Don't suppose you could upload that?

#

!log

mighty kettleBOT
#

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

vague hornet
compact kraken
#

Okay, so it could still possibly be a dll that's mismatched somehow, but not being detected. If you want I could sent you a few dlls you could try to replace, and then try the game again.
Self-defeating Disclaimer: Don't accept random dll's from internet strangers, they might contain malicious code.

#

I mean, hopefully yours won’t, haha

I still haven't been permabanned from the server, that's all I got vouching for me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

This is more Steam related, but i get craft master achivement in game, but not in steam (i was logged in) Any idea to fix it?

peak osprey
#

the only way to fix it is to either get the achievement again on another save, or force it using debug commands with SMAPI

vast willow
#

:'(

peak osprey
#

it's very simple to force it with SMAPI!

#

!smapi

mighty kettleBOT
#

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.

vast willow
#

ok ill try it, ty

peak osprey
#

basically you just need to install this and use the debug command debug achieve. the wiki page on debug commands has the exact one you need

vast willow
#

ty so much <3

vast willow
#

it works. Ty, you save my life

#

How do i enable Fullscreen? The option is locked for me.

vast willow

i use Alt + Enter

slow magnet

i mean inside the game

#

my resolution is fixed to 1440x900 and i cant change that no matter what

peak osprey
#

go to %appdata%\StardewValley and delete the startup_preferences file

#

anyone know?

peak osprey
#

deleting startup_preferences should work, you may need to manually open that file and edit the resolution inside of it

Hey Guys, im losing my mind. I tried to start the game today but it wont let me open it. I bought a 144hz Display Port a few weeks ago and i think thats the problem and i dont know how to fix it.

If i restart my PC should i try to open it or start reinstalling .net?

obtuse bronze
#

Stardew and my PC was a bit laggy, so I decided to restart my PC. Come back on, and my 75+ hour, Fall year 3 save has vanished. I tried deleting it and removing the _old in the folder, and that did nothing. The save is in the folder, but it isn't showing up in-game. Is there a way for me to get this back, cause I was at about 75% completion rate on it, and was close to shipping 15 crops and 1 of every item, so I would really like to have it back if possible.

The SaveGameInfo file is completely empty. Is there a way to get this back or repair this, as I don't want to lose this save, I've put in too much time for me to lose it all.

chrome sandal
obtuse bronze
chrome sandal
#

do you still have the _old file with data?

obtuse bronze
#

Yeah, I made a copy of the folder before messing with it, and have reverted everything back to how it was

#

The game loads fine, and also have my 2 other farms on the load screen. it's just missing this one.

finite garden
#

@obtuse bronze it's necessary to rename both the file SaveGameInfo_old to SaveGameInfo, and the file <Farm name>_<Number>_old to <Farm name>_<Number> because these files are paired

obtuse bronze
#

So, I should try renaming them both?

finite garden
#

yes

obtuse bronze
#

Okay, that brought it back.... I don't know why I didn't think of that -_-

#

Thank you xD

Hello, everyone! @compact kraken was helping me for these past two days about the failure to launch and run the game via Steam.

#

We’ve tried multiple methods, some being the ones that are known fixes. But last night, I finally got the game working thanks to Mali.

#

Before doing anything, make sure to back up the original files you’re going to replace.

#

Mali’s mentioned to put them in the appropriate folder. This is one of the directories I remember: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32\Microsoft.Xna.Framework\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553\

#

You need to replace this file → Microsoft.Xna.Framework.dll which is located in the directory above.

#

Two other .DLL files are known to fix the issue: X3DAudio1_7.dll and msvcp100.dll. Replace the ones in this directory (I believe): C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\.

#

REMINDER: Always have a backup of the original unedited .DLL files you have before replacing them.

#

Additional Note: It doesn’t actually hurt to try all these methods. I even asked Mali if it’s required to restart the desktop/laptop; it’s not even necessary.

#

Newfound fixes consists of the .DLL file, xinput1_3.dll. You need to replace yours in the C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\.

#

Lastly, you need to reinstall/download/repair DirectX by downloading it from Microsoft.

#

Oh! And just make sure not to download their Bing toolbar if you don’t need it. Like, as if anyone does.

#

Also, if you've previously launched the game and failed, might as well delete the startup preference file in the %AppData%.

#

It’ll be in a folder of the same name [of the game, ofc].

#

Credits and kudos to @compact kraken for the help. Don’t ban them.

Cause i live in CIS region and price high af (10$), instead of russian, where it cost 4$ peepoSad

#

idk why steam think we rich than RU

#

and put EU prices for all

#

🥺

worthy lake
#

That I believe would be on steam. Afaik game devs don't set price per reigon. They set a price in whatever currency say 15 USD and then it gets somewhat converted based on currency

#

I may be wrong but that's my understanding of it

lime viper
#

Yeah, so we all buy key or gifts, if region activation can access it. Cause steam prices for this region is insanely high. Or maybe try change region and currency and activate it through vpn?

worthy lake
#

You might try humble bundle, idk if it is in your currency but they have it for normal price (at least from what I can see)

lime viper
#

let me check it out

#

14.99$

#

but i didn't log in on site

That might work then? Not too sure can't really guarantee it

k, create one for test rn

no, price has no change(

# lime viper yeah, i read this too. that's why i try to find legal way to do this

It's generally illegal to try and bypass this. There's tax laws and whatnot. I used to have a friend in Venezuela that always had games stupid cheap, but in relativity to how much bread cost to them it was just as expensive as a game was for me.
It's simply like that so that strong economies don't crash due to things being cheaper elsewhere, it's pretty heavily regulated, and Valve has to abide by it. Laws n stuff.

#

Right, the other reason I bothered replying is: Be careful where you buy things. If there's places that try to bypass this, it likely means they're not legal, and they're trying to scam you in the first place.

compact kraken

@hexed apex ```If your controller is not working for Stardew Valley on steam. Go to the top left of your steam client window, click on "Steam" > "settings" > "controller" > "general controller settings"> Another window will open up and make sure that for whatever controller you are using that the support box is checked. If you are not too sure what controller it is you can check them all and it won't do much! After that the controller provided it's plugged in or connected with bluetooth should pop up in that window and you will be good to go!

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

Hrm, that shouldn't be a special place where one wouldn't be able to get to without admin powers.
Perhaps something messed up with your save location regarding permissions.
Are you hellbent on fixing it, or are you like "Meh, too much effort"?

compact kraken
#

In that case I'd suggest installing smapi first, to see what the logs say when things mess up.

#

!installforlog

mighty kettleBOT

Try this:

  1. Install SMAPI: https://smapi.io/.
  2. Run the game through SMAPI.
  3. Upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log.
  4. Share the log link here.

(You can remove SMAPI later, we're just using it to see what the problem is.)
