If your computer is an older 32-bit system, you will need to use the compatibility version of the game. Some older 64-bit systems may need to use this version as well. Please be aware that SMAPI/game mods are not compatible with this version.

On Steam: In your library, right-click Stardew Valley and select Properties... > Betas > then "compatibility" under the dropdown.
On GOG: From the game's page, click the settings icon > Manage installation > Configure... > then "compatibility" under the Beta channels dropdown.

Not sure if a mod is causing this 'bug' but I'm in skull cavern and I have gotten the treasure floor over 100 times in a row.. Out of all my hours playing with this specific set of mods (StardewVally Expanded, Ridgside and a few other smaller non game addition mods)

Hey I have a question, I used to play on my ps4, but after getting my ps5 I haven’t logged into the game on my ps5 yet, so does that mean that I have to start all over? Or does the data get saved over the cloud?

worthy lake
#

Uhh, if you use the same psn account it should? Transfer over

Yeah I’m still using the same psn account

hi !!! i started a multiplayer world for the first time with a friend yesterday and everything was fine, as soon as i created the world it gave me an invitation code. Today i wanted to play with her again, when i loaded the world it didn't give me a code, i looked in settings and there wasn't a show code option either which is weird. me and my friend both have it on microsoft store and we tried inviting eachother from there but nothing, we even tried joining with ip addresses but still nothing.

im not sure what to do

Moving my question from #archived-modded-support since this error is occurring without em.

Evening! I've run into this issue again where my aspect ratio is off. And this time there is no "startup_preferences" to delete to try and reset it in my APP data cause this is the first time I've played it on this computer. Even after launching to the load screen, where it's too skewed to click anything, there is no app data folder forming yet. Is there a way to force stardew to launch in windowed mode or something like that?

vast perch
#

This has also happened to be but in a different way though asking the same question^

If your resolution is messed up try deleting startup_preferences This can be found on Windows at %appdata% > Stardew Valley > it's in that folder, or C:\Users\Yourwindowsnamehere\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley or for Mac can be found at ~/.config/StardewValley To get here you'll want to go to your desktop, then in the menu bar select Go -> Go to Folder...

so i unplugged my headphones from my laptop and all the audio is distorted and crunchy. thought it was my speakers but everything else sounds fine.

worthy lake
#

have you tried restarting the game? stardew has always had funky audio problems when switching devices (used to full on crash)

tribal wadi
#

i haven't yet. i'm gonna finish this day and then restart.

#

ngl it's making everything sounds creepy lol

worthy lake

HorrorDew Valley the new update 😄

tribal wadi

seems fine now. no idea why unplugging my headphones made it do that.

#

Hey guys 🙂 I'm having a problem which I've been trying to research online but none of the fixes are fixing it so I thought I'd see if y'all could help.

worthy lake
cold wren
#

I've uninstalled every mod and the problem still exists

worthy lake
#

I should not then 😄

cold wren
#

Basically my game has a consistent stutter that happens when I run in any direction, once about every second. It kind of looks akin to rubberbanding but just for a split second.

#

I know that my laptop is more then enough to run the game it's not a graphics power problem

worthy lake
#

Well, when did this start happening? within the past say month and a half?

cold wren
#

I'm not sure honestly I installed the game on this device about 3 weeks ago and just noticed the problem about 2 weeks ago and tried my best to ignore it. If you are focusing hard on gameplay you can kinda ignore it. For all I know i've had it since I installed

#

I've uninstalled and reinstalled, removed all my mods, nothing helps

worthy lake
#

Have you tried turning vsync to the opposite of whatever it's set at?

cold wren
#

Yes, and went into all the various window/fullscreen modes and they are all the same

worthy lake
#

Hm, does your laptop only have integrated graphics or does it also have an actual gpu

cold wren
#

It has an actual GPU

#

Definitely more then enough to handle the game

rain laurel
#

are you running the game through smapi or no

worthy lake
#

Check that the game is set to run through the actual dedicated gpu

cold wren
#

Yeah I am I can try without really quick

worthy lake
#

just in case

worthy lake
#

Wait that's also a thing?

#

I would like to implement 500 more commands

cold wren
#

Oh wow that's so interesting let me look into these options and report back thanks 🙂

rain laurel
cold wren
#

Well we will see if this fixes it lol

worthy lake
rain laurel
#

but apparently not smapi 😛

cold wren
#

Hmmmmm..... guess my game files are all screwed or something even though I preformed a clean install not long ago cuz it crashes when I load without smapi right now

#

I will back up my saves and mods, clear the folder entirely, and do it again.

rain laurel
#

the vanilla game will crash if you use a save that has ever had extra npcs or items or locations or whatever

#

create a new save to test

cold wren
#

I don't have additional NPC's but I do have two mods that add new items. However the game doesn't launch at all, crashes right after you see the birds flying

#

Can't think of anything to do at that point but a totally fresh restart

#

Okay completely fresh install with 0 anything but Stardew and the problem is still there

#

Also this laptop is a gift from a friend who told me it had a dedicated GPU but I couldn't figure out the specs so I downloaded an app to let me see whats up with the PC and I think my friend doesn't know jack shit cuz it's just integrated xD however when I looked up the specs of the integrated graphics it's apparently the best one I could hope to get and is able to run games like rocket league so it should definitely be able to run Stardew

#

Really not sure wtf it could be at this point

worthy lake
#

I mean, I know what it could be but you may not like it

cold wren
#

Oh god now I have an even more screwed problem >< after the reinstall I tried to go to fullscreen mode. In fullscreen mode on this laptop for some weird reason it gets all zoomed in and the menu is in the bottom right corner and most of the screen becomes hidden out of view. I ran around in this mode to see if it would help but it didn't. I closed the game, and relaunched it without steam overlay to see if that helps. Now the game is stuck in fullscreen mode which makes it so that I can't click any buttons, and the window hotkey to make the game not fullscreen isn't working

Y'all are on the ball I appreciate it xD

OKAY thats one problem solved lol

#

Now tell me this solution I'm not gonna like 😛

worthy lake
#

In regards to the other thing, I have a theory that it's the same annoying problem everyone else is having, while your graphics may be up to date monogame which Stardew now uses hates some gpu drivers (we think) and uh yeah the actual problem is.. impossible to solve as of yet

#

We can rest test this by seeing if this doesn't stutter

The problem with it is you can't use mods SDVpuffersquee

I'd rather lag all day then lose my mods lol xD

But if it works you could revert to 1.5.4 (pre 64bit) and then have the best of both worlds

well i was playing stardew valley for 2 years now without any problems till yesterday it didn't load properly the game took a long while to launch about 4 mins then when i try to open or create a save or even edit the character at the save creating it takes time to respond

also when i open a save i mean after it really opens it works normally without any render issues so why the first problem happens?

i did try playing without mods and reinstall the redists but nothing seemed to work

#

removed smapi and reinstalled the game nothing too

worthy lake
#

When was the last time you played previously to yesterday?

hexed apex
#

the day before yesterday

#

the other programs and games work normally so there's no problems

worthy lake

Did you happen to update any drivers yesterday?

hexed apex
#

no

worthy lake
#

Hm, that's... odd then

#

idk man that's weird

#

the redistrs don't matter anymore, it's bundled

#

have you tried reinstalling the entire game yet?

redists /=/ reinstalling game

hexed apex
#

i mean yes i did reinstall the game

worthy lake
#

Atravita have we had this happen suddenly? I mean it sounds like exactly what I hate it sounding like but it's never just suddenly done this

you can always tell people to go the legacy version

See I'm fine telling people but when it happens with no driver or anything changes then It's somewhat concerning

rain laurel
#

I'm not sure it's that

#

!installforlog maybe

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.)

rain laurel
#

but, also, like, I don't think smapi logs much of the game's startup

worthy lake
#

Need more minecraft style logs

#

it logs too much ;P

rain laurel
#

the other thing is to make sure graphics drivers are updated and both game and smapi (if using) are running off the graphics card

Is it possible to connect a PS4 controller for Stardew on PC?

worthy lake
#

Yes, you can either plug it in or use bluetooth, if you're using steam it will play all nicely for you, if you're using gog it's possible but more annoying, and with gamepass you'd probably have to get it to recognize as xbox

#

If you have it on gog/gamepass you could add the exe to steam and then have it's controller awesomness

worthy lake
#

It's a mod problem unless it can be replicated 100% vanilla on a fresh test save without smapi, and considering that no one else has come in here with that problem it's safe to say it's 100% a mod error

#

SDVpufferglare points down

rain laurel
#

where either (a) the same mods are not used or (b) netfields

livid widget
rain laurel
#

netfields are how the game handles multiplayer

#

if some mod did its multiplayer incorrectly, you might see this

#

unfortunately, that's your option right now - figuring out who screwed up

#

by removing mods

worthy lake
#

I bet it's optifine! wait wrong game whoops SDVpuffersquee

livid widget
#

not even actually

#

and we haven't gotten more than 1 mod in that time, which we removed with no difference

#

the first day we load in the coop is fine. you can enter and collect eggs etc. the day after you save, the coop is broken

rain laurel
#

whatever it is, I think data is not being properly synced between the two of you anymore

#

thing is - it is kind of hard to back out what exactly went wrong

#

do you have a second greenhouse?

#

(or a mod that lets you construct extra buildings not in vanilla)

Hey everyone, i've been trying to run a multiplayer game of Stardew where we all have the same mods, and the host has 500 MBIT/s Upload and we keep having people disconnect or unable to connect, intermitent lag, is there a reason with why with recents patches? I used to play with 4 players and I didn't have any problems but now I can't seem to play twice without having constant problems

#

I identified my stutter problem to be just when the camera moves to follow me across the screen. So my character moving doesn’t cause the stutter, it’s just when the camera moves. Solid fps too. The cpu 0 affinity and setting the game to high priority doesn’t fix it unfortunately.

hi let me know if i’m in the wrong channel but is there a way to either play multiplayer or use mods with the compatibility beta? my mac’s (macbook air early 2014) on version 10.12.6 and doesnt have any new software updates so it seems i have to use it. but i haven’t been able to play co-op or use mods since is there a way around that?

chrome sandal
#

the compatibility branch should be able to play multiplayer, but currently does not support mods

green elk

thanks! though when i load up a co-op game as host it doesn’t give me a joining code, and when i try to join someone else it always says connection failed, is there another reason for this?

anyone got advice for this situation- I downloaded the East Scarp mod but it's a zip file

here's the problem- I have a mac computer, and when i click to unzip the file i don't have a program that can do that function the one i used my trial expired on it and being on disability income i obviously can't pay for it

what do i do? I wanna use the mod but can't unzip it obviously?

mighty kettleBOT

@broken maple Files with the extension .zip, .rar, or .7z are archive files, which you can extract to get the actual files inside. For a .zip file, just right-click (or long-press on Android) it and choose the option like extract or uncompress. For .rar and .7z, you need to install third-party software first, like 7-zip https://7-zip.org on Windows, Keka https://keka.io on macOS, PeaZip https://peazip.github.io on Linux, or ZArchiver https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver on Android.

any mods? which platform?

If your computer is an older 32-bit system, you will need to use the compatibility version of the game. Some older 64-bit systems may need to use this version as well. Please be aware that SMAPI/game mods are not compatible with this version.

On Steam: In your library, right-click Stardew Valley and select Properties... > Betas > then "compatibility" under the dropdown.
On GOG: From the game's page, click the settings icon > Manage installation > Configure... > then "compatibility" under the Beta channels dropdown.

Hi! I have been playing the game for about 25 hours. I just tried loading my saved game, it gets to a loading screen and crashes to desktop.

fwiw, can we please get that command to explicitly mention the problem - incompatible graphics drivers?

at this point, the bitness is not the usual cause, it's either graphics drivers or the inability to run net 5.0 on certain versions of mac

I just usually tell at Odin

At least if he's online

it's usually worth sending bouncer a message, at least more mods will see it

sometimes they'll even listen and make a command (like !embeds)

@spring peak - may I suggest a change to the governor's message about the compat branch (!legacy). Currently, the reason it lists doesn't actually apply to...like anyone, I think I've seen two people on 32 bit systems. Usually the issue seems to be a graphics driver monogame can't use, or being on an older mac that doesn't run NET 5.0. Could we get the message changed to reflect those causes instead? I've drafted one above. Thank you so much!

rain laurel
#

I can probably pull up examples of both mac-too-old (seriously, Microsoft, why??? - net 5 works on Windows 7 but not mac 10.14) and a lot of examples of graphics cards not supported

#

(the later shows up in SMAPI logs)

worthy lake
#

As long as I no longer have to instantly follow up with yes your computer may be 64 bit since they read the first two words then they just go I don't have 32 bit

rain laurel
#

I also felt the old one causes people to feel insulted over their computer, which was prompting the "I'm 64 bit!" response

chrome sandal
#

I see a lot of angry people complaining that their computer can run other games well but not SDV

rain laurel
#

yeah

worthy lake
#

I mean, it's a Windows thing, my example is call of duty cold war (yeah I'm a nerd) wouldn't play nice with some windows registry thing and you had to mess with it to fix it, and yeah, so people who could play hardware wise couldn't

#

Well could be Mac too but that game didn't support Mac

@rain laurel What do you think of this draft, which is a bit more specific about the cases where it's needed, and links to the alternative if they want to play with mods?

%mention% The game has a 'compatibility' branch which works for some older computers. It's only needed for systems which are 32-bit, or run an unsupported OS like Windows XP or older macOS versions, or use an older graphics card which isn't supported by MonoGame. This branch has the same gameplay & content, but uses an older game framework.

To use the compatibility branch:
**On Steam:** Open Steam, right-click Stardew Valley, go to _Properties > Betas_, and change the dropdown to "compatibility".
**On GOG:** Open the game page on gog.com, go to settings icon > _Manage installation > Configure_, and change the dropdown under "Beta channels" to "compatibility".

SMAPI and most mods don't work on the compatibility branch. If you want to use mods, you can rollback to Stardew Valley 1.5.4 instead: <https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#SMAPI_doesn.27t_work_with_compatibility_branch>.
worthy lake
#

Trying to avoid mentioning 32 bit because we instantly get "but my computer isn't 32 bit"

#

They see that and don't read the rest

copper hollow
#

The original message said it was for 32-bit, and later clarified it's for some 64-bit systems too. This one adds ", or" immediately after it instead.

chrome sandal
#

I think we should mention it, but also mention 64 bit systems before 32-bit because people don't read the whole thing

worthy lake
#

Alternatively I should just be more willing to just yell at people to read the whole thing

chrome sandal
#

and personally, I think most people won't translate unsupported OS to 64 bit

worthy lake
#

I'm with Arcane, either mention 64 bit then 32 bit or mention neither

copper hollow
#

If the OS is unsupported, it is for both 32-bit and 64-bit.

#

Alternatively we can add a section to the troubleshooting guide, where we can have longer text, and the command can just link to that.

worthy lake
#

Perhaps I'm thinking too much of Minecraft discords where no one can read more than one sentence of what you type let alone a faq

rain laurel
#

I think I'd like the link-to-wiki option, personally

worthy lake
#

Oh that reminds me actually

rain laurel
#

I don't think most people need the technical details of why their computer can't run NET 5.0

#

or monogame or whatever

chrome sandal
worthy lake
#

Podunk wanted error logs for something now I can't remember what

copper hollow
#

(Though most people won't know whether their system meets the minimum requirements for .NET 5 either.)

rain laurel
#

(to be fair, I don't know the minimum requirements for NET 5 and I actually tried to find it)

#

(on Mac....it's somewhere between 10.12-10.15?)

worthy lake
#

Ah it was this, have been forgetting to see if we could get this added onto bug report if they crash

copper hollow
#

Alternatively we could flip the command into !minrequirements, and mention the compatibility branch if they don't meet them.

rain laurel
#

So, part of it is that I think people mostly just want their problem fixed, and the problem goes away if they use the compat branch

#

is "okay, the usual branch doesn't work, try the compat" the point of the message, or "here's a list of reasons why the usual branch doesn't work, check your computer settings against that, and try the compat branch?" the point of the message?

worthy lake
#

Tbf the requirements on steam probably need updated but that's a very specific CA thing

copper hollow
#

I remember during the initial migration some users were being referred to the compat branch unnecessarily, when their problem could have been solved on the main branch. So it's useful to list the specific cases when you need to use the compat branch, so they can check whether it actually applies to them (if they want).

rain laurel
#

Hum. Maybe having the specifics on the wiki and linking to it?

copper hollow
#

(Well apparently linking to the .NET 5 system requirements is a no-go for the wiki.)

rain laurel
#

...what

worthy lake
#

#

Hello i have a question my netbook say what steam can't load the cloud of Stardew valley someone can tell me how to fix this?

molten pumice
#

For those seeing my question in the future, it seems there isn't an in-game solution for this. Instead, here is an AutoHotKey (AHK) script that adds the functionality.

Aren't sure what AHK is or need to download it? Start here: https://www.autohotkey.com/

The script itself:

SetKeyDelay 22
#IfWinActive Stardew Valley
XButton1::
Send {Tab Down}{Tab Up}
XButton2::
Send {Tab Down}{Tab Up}
Return

What this script does
When you press mouse4 (XButton2) it sends tab once. When you press mouse5 (XButton1) it sends tab twice.

Don't like the chosen keys? Replace XButton1 and XButton2 with the buttons of your choosing. The list of keys can be found here: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm

Don't want another button to do tab's job of a single press? Simply get rid of the line XButton2:: and it'll still work for pressing tab twice with only a single key.

SetKeyDelay adds a short delay between each keypress to allow the game to register them properly. If the value doesn't work for you, increase it until it does. The higher the value, the longer the delay.

Questions? Problems? Feel free to ping me.
Hopefully this helps ♥️

so far i've played for 90 hours and had no issues with the game, but recently the game is taking way too long to do anything. whenever i open the game it takes around 4 minutes to actually start running, then when i click on my saved game it takes around 12 minutes to open that world. once i'm inside the world suddenly the game freezes for a bit while entering new areas of the map, when opening the inventory and even randomly while i'm walking

#

has that ever happened to someone else before?

silver bay
#

are you using any mods?

hexed apex
#

not right now, but in the past i only used a mod that cleans shane's room in your farmhouse

#

i've reinstalled the game twice and it still does that. and it's the only game that does that. all my other games run fine

If your computer is an older 32-bit system, you will need to use the compatibility version of the game. Some older 64-bit systems may need to use this version as well. Please be aware that SMAPI/game mods are not compatible with this version.

On Steam: In your library, right-click Stardew Valley and select Properties... > Betas > then "compatibility" under the dropdown.
On GOG: From the game's page, click the settings icon > Manage installation > Configure... > then "compatibility" under the Beta channels dropdown.

Hello, I am experiencing the following odd behavior;
After some time of playing Stardew Valley the Mouse Wheel Scrolling stops working properly. More precisely, when changing the scroll direction it takes an additional mouse scroll for the game to register.

Example: I am in Hotblar Slot 5, scroll down to change to Slot 6, scroll down again to scroll to Slot 7. Scrolling up once now wouldn't do anything, scrolling up again would go back to Slot 6, another time to Slot 5 and so on.

Restarting Stardew Valley fixes this issue temporarily, however after some time (mostly less than one in-game day) it stops working again. This is extremely annoying and I have absolutely no idea what causes this. All other programs work fine, so I don't know if it's maybe a Windows issue or something.

Is this maybe a known bug or does anyone know what I can do to find the cause/a fix of it?

Mods?

do you have to have switch online to play multiplayer

granite stream
#

you need it to play online on most games

Not every game

f2p games don't need it last I knew

I could be 100% wrong but

I know warframe and fortnite for sure don't need switch online

My game has been a tad laggy recently, so I was investigating as to why and I think it might be because it's resolution is technically set to 4k? I can only access the resolution tab when putting the game into fullscreen, but then I can literally only see 1/4th of the game, which is the top left corner, so I can't access options whatsoever. Is there a way around it?

chrome sandal
#

!startuppref

mighty kettleBOT
#

If your resolution is messed up try deleting startup_preferences This can be found on Windows at %appdata% > Stardew Valley > it's in that folder, or C:\Users\Yourwindowsnamehere\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley or for Mac can be found at ~/.config/StardewValley To get here you'll want to go to your desktop, then in the menu bar select Go -> Go to Folder...

chrome sandal
#

also if this lag is more recent, it be from your mods

sacred sable
#

I've had it before already, but thought it might just be because I have another game open, but my CPU /GPU / RAM is doing fine. I'll try that now, thankyou!

# brazen estuary how do you stop sharing money with players ?

There's a small book inside the house where players have the option to divorce their spouses for 50,000g. This book can also be used to evict a housemate (for free). Next to this book is a "Town Ledger" that can be used to change from shared to separate funds (or vice-versa) in a Multiplayer game.

brazen estuary
#

thank youuu

sacred sable
#

It set the resolution to 4k again in an instant ;_;

chrome sandal
#

is your monitor 4k?

sacred sable
#

no

chrome sandal
#

try looking at your resolution settings for windows

sacred sable
#

they're all fine

#

Never had any other game set itself to 4k either

#

Both screens are set to 1920x1080

chrome sandal
#

hmm

#

can you open the startuppreferences file and try manually changing the resolution?

sacred sable
#

I did and saved it, but when I opened it again it went back to 4k xD

chrome sandal
#

sheesh

sacred sable
#

I guess it's a strong independent resolution

I'm afraid I'm not sure then, someone else can probably come later and help

A tip is basically just press alt enter if it makes you get stuck in fullscreen cause that'll change it to windowed or borderless windowed mode

I had to like keep doing that when I did my fix just to make sure I wouldn't get stuck and to keep going back into settings

Stardew valley 1.5.6 crash on startup! (before 1.5.5 the game work perfectly fine) i have installed both x64 and x86 .NET versions 5 and 6 LTSC

i have even the old NET framework 4.8

the only way i menage to get the game started is using the Legacy compatibility version

what can i do to get the standard 1.5.6 version to work? i tried everything

My girlfriend and I have been playing split-screen Co-op on the Switch and having a blast. Unfortunately, the persistent lag spikes are borderline soul-crushing, often leading to crashes with lost progress. A few Google searches later have told me that I’m not alone - but I couldn’t find a solution.

  1. Any remedy?
  2. If not, would playing on too consoles connected remotely be any better on performance?
  3. If yes to #2, would there be any way to join her as my farmhand used for split screen via the remote option or would a new farmhand be necessary?

Thank you all!

ah, thinking about... (i don't remember the exact error but...) i Play only in vanilla, but i when i try to open Stardew valley through smapi (one Forum for some reason say that could work) i get an error similar to "unable to load graphic driver" or something similar i just don't remember, soo yeah it's probably an hardware problem...

#

note: the error appear only in the CMD log Window of smapi

Yes that means you don't have sufficient hardware

Legacy offers no difference between 64 bit though

the issue isn’t with 64 or 32 bit

using the legacy version usually fixes frame rate issues, its worth a try

Hi All, Does anyone know of the error for when Stardew says no suitable graphics card found? I recently started getting that error on launch and the game will not load now that I've been getting this error

It means the game is either not using your actual gpu

Or you don't have one capable

I'm running a 3070 currently so I don't think its a direct card issue

I started getting the error after a recent update and it says its using my card

Your options on switch are restart the game, console, router, reinstall. And make sure you both have switch online and enough cabins

So my friend is playing stardew completely vanilla, and when he got to the event where Linus is digging through George's trash, these glitchy options came up. His farmer name is OVER_KING so I thought maybe that was glitching the event? I know naming things in the past was able to yield some glitchy results. Besides that I got no idea what could've caused this. Not really a big issue, just curious what you guys think. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/124424014880964608/932088802875428894/unknown.png

# worthy lake Could also be recent windows update or driver's

Yeah I'm not entirely sure since I just updated my drivers as well today so everything is up to date. I also set windows to specifically use the 3070 so I am unsure whats happening. I tried also running it on another computer with almost identical specs and it works without a problem. Its only recently started happening

worthy lake

Are you on win 10 or 11

thorn hearth
#

worthy lake

That also could be it

Windows 11 not great for gaming, very very very buggy

#

The error I'm getting is also an XNA error

worthy lake
#

Errr

#

Are you on legacy version?

thorn hearth
#

Nope I'm on the most recent release

The error that I'm getting is The game failed to launch: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException: Failed to create graphics device!

worthy lake
#

@rain laurel xna errors shouldn't happen anymore no?

rain laurel
#

So, Monogame called all their stuff "Microsoft.XNA.blah"

so you'll still see "XNA"-looking errors

worthy lake

#

but that's a monogame error

#

It makes programmign easier!

worthy lake
#

Monogame you're a bitch

#

Well if it's not the gpu, it's set to use it

#

It is windows 11 which has had many recent problems

thorn hearth
#

The error was happening on Windows 10 as well so I don't think thats the issue either

#

The issue has been happening for a week now. I'm just getting around to asking about it since I haven't had the time to deal with it

I tried that and it did launch however SMAPI refuses to launch at that point

worthy lake

See but that becomes not my problem 😛

#

You can revert to 1.5.4 if you want to use mods

#

But if legacy works and other doesn'tyoure going to have to wait for some update somewhere to fix something

#

Rather it be Nvidia, windows, or Stardew

thorn hearth
#

Fair enough. Does that mean that any friends I have join will need to have a different version or is it just my host computer?

worthy lake
#

Well that depends, if you switch back to 1.5.4 so would they

#

If you just went with said above version no

you know, there has to be a list of "monogame-happy drivers"
