Thought maybe a fellow steam deck user would perhaps be able to help, our filepaths should be identical right?
apparently it's /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common
Let me try that, now the Linux examples have the characters ~/ at the beginning of the example strings so that kind of confuses me. But thanks I will try that
I guess I could try stardew valley as one word at the end too.
Nope says that directory doesn't seem to exist
~ is a special character in Linux paths - it refers to the home directory of the current user and likely expands to /home/deck
I would recommend searching /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common in some sort of file browser to find the right path first. I don't know how deck does things but most Linux distros have some sort of search in the file explorer.
Yes my search turned up /run/media/mmcblk0p1/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley
Check permissions on that file then. Hum
Ok
hello can someone please help me Last night I left my co-op one and it went through all summer and i would like to revert back to how it was it was around summer 5th and now its the end of fall
is there a way to go back in the saves?
@rain laurel I saw that you just helped with a issue do you mind if you help me
Mate, this chat is not my job.
Seriously, do not treat other people like they're at your beck and call, because that's a great way to just piss people off.
Saves can go back at most one day without having smapi previously installed
ughh i spent so much time on this and now i j missed half a year
If no one has told you recently you're great and the work you do with modding community is great. speakony of modding can you... Kidding kidding
I think the issue just incase others have a problem is that the game is on my Micro sd card, not on the steam decks memory, so It starts with that which is /primary - not /home which woukd be used if game was on the onboard memory.
The /mmcblk0p1/ in my file path line was the identification of the micro sd drive which under Linux is /primary. It could find it under home because it wasn't there in my case
So issue solved and thanks for the help 🙂
Now I can play modded SV on the Golden throne 😉

He is stuck using legacy then due to a game engine bug that is out of hands of stardew devs to fix
Because they can't fix a bug with a game engine?
Even if they could there is no way to reliably repeat the bug
You copy a computer 9 times, 3 out of 10 need to use 32 bit and they are the exact same

Hey guys is anyone experiencing crashing problems in Stardew Valley (Xbox Gamepass btw) at the moment ? i just downloaded stardew valley yesterday and been playing it but its kinda annoying and ridiculous how the game INSTANTLY crashes every now and then.
The game basically crashes 100% each day like you can't just complete a day normally without the game getting crashed and making you lose your saves and progress that you've done in that day.
NO my game is not modded.
NO my game doesn't get progressively worse over time in terms of performance.
NO my game never crashes neither in the loading screen nor while saving (sleeping in-game) it just simply crashes while doing some normal stuff in the game, it also does not have any timing on when the game gonna crash it suddenly crashes as if someone pressed ALT+F4 like there is no Crash-Log or any type of "Log" that's exactly what's confusing me a lot.
(My PC is 100% good enough for the game obviously since stardew is not that of a heavy game, but i still tried a 2nd PC and the same thing is happening over there).
Any help ? 🙂
um

are you the real one
Pretty suspicious.
please don't spam here
I don't believe Mousey would really use those emojis. If I'm wrong I apologize, otherwise quit impersonating a mod or you will be banned.
I suggest messaging Bouncer and we'll discuss there instead of a public channel.
No no I like the drama more interesting for me
I mean uh following rules
And stuff
so my problem is dat when i sleep it crashes
n even if i wake up n immediately go back 2 sleep , it crashes
nothin in my fridge
have all my necessary tools in my inv
no empty spaces/slots between items in my inventory or chests
nothin but my tools in my inv
even when i sleep at ginger island , same thing
it literally jus wont work . its weird bc dat means it saved da nite b4 , but 4 whatever reason now it wont work
im on xbox 1 btw
If you are on console there isn't really anything you can do
hey man are u familiar with crashing problems in stardew valley by any chance ?
I wouldn't put it past
Try a new save?
Wait actually i forgot to mention smth
The save im playing at rn was created in the "Host" tab so i can play with friends
Is this a reason for crashing in any way ? like are there any problems with hosting servers these days in stardew valley that i (a new player) don't know about
Nope
aii man thanks for ur replies 👍
Is there a way to see multiplayer logs? My buddy and i keep getting disconnected from the host about once or twice every one or two in-game days, sometimes more, and often at horrible times (before/during an event, or between days end and the actual save) and we have no idea why or how to stop it
No
Of the three of us the two who aren't me are also on the same network so I don't know why they'd be getting dc'd from each other
host is also wired
Things that can cause it:
Mods
Servers not liking your internet
Random spikes
Things you can do to fix it: not really much, depends on the gog servers and how they feel (yes even if you use steam you are playing on the gog servers for Stardew)
oh interesting i thought it was p2p.
Neyope
Is it worth trying hamachi-style instead? should bypass GOG servers then, right?
Nope. Stardew devs recommend highly against it
I realize that. But as is this sucks.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There isn't much we can do to help with this specific problem
Gog servers are weird
But they allow cross play easyish between game pass (pc), gog, and steam
so is my save jus broken w no way 2 fix ?
we can't do much for it
Steam wont work
I tried reinstalling
reseting wifi
restarting my laptop
nothing wrks
that's not really our division
steam had some maintenance, try launching stardew from its actual exe instead
uhh what does this quote mean? "From now on, just launch the game through Steam to run SMAPI with the Steam overlay and achievements."

Hi friends, new farmer here, played yesterday for the first time on my xbox through xbox gamepass. I played for 3-4 hours then went to bed (turned off console).
Today I cannot find my savefile anywhere. Can anyone please help? It does not show up on "load game"
how can i transfer my mobile save file to my computer
!saves
@hexed apex Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
if it's not in your cloud saves, or restarting doesn't help, not much we can do sadly
i wouldnt be here if i didnt check that alr i dont find that internal shared storage
are you on android or ios

so could anyone help me please?

Is there any way to unbind right stick from chat/emote wheel? I would like to use it for other things
Or a way to disable the chat/emote menu? I'm not playing multiplayer in the first place. lol
If you are on PC steam maybe, console don't think so
I am on PC yeah, can't find any way to do so though
Steam controller menu
Where you can rebind any button as any button
The game may still override it though
Not quite what I was looking for but I guess I can do it if there's no in-game way
Thanks
I did go through that actually- to the extent of my knowledge all the farm data is still there, and I read this while i was on it but it didnt give much detail as to what im supposed to do so now im wondering if I could get help with this part
See guide and "undo last save"
sorry?
what
im not sure
The game saves progress when the in-game day ends, i.e., when the farmer goes to bed, collapses from exhaustion, or collapses at 2am. All progress during a day is lost if the player quits the game without ending the day. In multiplayer, the game saves after all players click through the prompts at end of day and wake up in the morning.
Anyone know about smapi causing game freeze?

so I went and followed this and the folder looks like this now, but how do i remove the "_old" suffixes? i cant rename the file via right clicking it
try pressing f2
didnt do anything
May not have permission too?
is this folder zipped
also why are you renaming a save backup if you're trying to fix your actual save
Because undo last save
that was the instruction-
oh- how do i access the actual save-
its in the link we sent
i followed the windows+r and that folder is what it took me to
you searched for this?
%appdata%\StardewValley\Saves
yes
update on that: i managed to rename the save game info file but the file for the farm data itself keeps giving me an error message
hello good morning, I played stardew valley a while ago, but I stopped playing it. Today I wanted to play it, but steam wouldn't open it, she said she was running it but the window didn't appear. I restarted the pc completely, deleting all the files (the format option in windows) and it hasn't even opened for me like that, instead of saving the files I get an error, ''nullplayer''. Do you know what I should do? Sorry for the misuse of words, I use the google translate. Thanks in advance

(I figured it out 🙂 ) i've been playing Stardew all day but had my inventory open while i was looking for something and when i closed my inventory my mouse was quickly scrolling through the items on my toolbar... right to left, continuously. I don't know what to do to make it stop... did i accidently turn on a setting? Any help would be appreciated. I tried entering another Stardew game i have saved and it's doing the same thing. I tried rebooting, taking the battery out of my keyboard... nothing seems to be working.
Is there a way to let the game run (as in, with time still passing) while it's not the main window?
Not really no,
You unchecked the box that pauses the game when it's not the active window? It's in the settings 
So I've got a little problem
My mailbox is bugged so it only shows the latest mail I got over and over again.
I don't really know if this is a mod issue or something within the game itself so I thought I'd ask here

Hi everyone! I have SV on both Steam and Xbox (Xbox for PC). When I go to the Xbox app > SV, it will load the Steam version.
Because of this, I am unable to play multiplayer with my friend who plays on Xbox... as it loads my Steam version and not the Xbox version
Any ideas on how to fix this? <3
Crossplay is not currently possible and may never be possible on Stardew Valley. According to ConcernedApe the technical barriers are very high. And he would like to add it and may eventually look into it but as of now it is not possible.

When asking for help with modding issues, please:
- Ask in #archived-modded-support
- Try to explain what the issue or problem is. Please be specific!
- If it's SMAPI installation related, please state whether you're using Windows/Mac/Linux and Steam/GOG/Gamepass.
- Provide a log if you have one (see https://smapi.io/log for instructions). Please provide a log even if there's no errors or warnings! If you are playing multiplayer, we will need a log from every player.
We have a new command!
Thank you, had no idea that was there 👍 👍
I'll be honest I've known this command exists and I still see 0 reasons to use it, other exists for me to get people to the correct channel
That just says what to do once you are there not where to go
It will make me happier if they arrive at the right channel with log in hand
I feel like people will only read the first two lines anyways

Hi, I'm having an issue where my game takes ages to load (from clicking play on steam to the game launching), without mods it takes like 2-3 minutes (which isn't a massive issue, I just wanted to show it's still taking long whether or not I have mods on). With only smapi it takes like 5-10 min, and with my mods it takes like more than an hour, at which point I don't even wait past 15 min (I've checked it multiple times before). I can play pretty much any other game fine, modded or not. This also doesn't happen 100% of the time, as in it sometimes loads fine and very quickly. I've been told it's an issue with my windows defender, but the load time does not change if antivirus is completely turned off. My cpu is only at 5% and memory at 40% so it's not like my pc is super struggling with the game. I've consulted my pc savvy brother multiple times and he cannot figure out what is causing this issue. The only other option someone suggested was to factory reset the computer or take it to a pc shop, but I don't understand how it might need such high maintenance if every other game works fine.
is it an sv update issue?
It's a monogame (the new game engine of stardew) doesn't like something on some pcs (we have 0 clue why have never figured it out it's been months) and there is nothing the stardew devs from what they have told us can do to fix it
You can take your computer copy it 9 times, most of them will work fine, a few won't
Be thankful your's even eventually loads, because most of the time it doesn't, and then if it does it runs at like 15fps
it's so weird that it works most of the time
I guess I'm just at the mercy of my computer, thank you, it's comforting at least to have an explanation
Don't worry it's as annoying for us because I don't really like telling people well you use mods you are out of luck
i get that
fingers crossed someone will figure it out one day, I appreciate all the devs' hard work and folks such as yourself who let us know the issues
have a good day ❤️
I think I found a bug
I've had issues where I am unable to talk to Maru even if I haven't talked to her. I think I realized it's because I named my cat Maru and I always pet my cat

first of all I'm on switch and here's the story. So I have full inventory and I'm looking at the community center bundles in my inventory. I select one of the items while I'm in it and since I selected an item it freed up a space in my inventory and automatically picks up a sap nearby. When I tried to select the back button it won't allow me because I am currently holding the item I selected and I can't unselect the item because there's nowhere to put it in my inventory since it's full and if you try it just switches the item you try to replace. I tried to push different buttons, turn off my console to turn it back on, and it tried to move my cursor outside the menu box so I could drop it on the ground but since I'm on console it will not allow me to drag my cursor outside the box. I'm wondering if there's a solution I'm not seeing and if not I can just restart the application but I'd rather not restart my whole day again. Let me know
The only idea I have is button spam, if that doesn't work probably going to have to restart day
Yeah it didn't work I just decided to restart thanks anyways
I’m currently having an issue where I cannot connect locally to my friends’ farms. It sends me back to the title screen after selecting the farm on the join screen.
Not a big deal cause it's honestly p funny but I'd like to narrow down the issue regardless

Game engine bug that currently has no solution but to use the old game engine
100% random on who is affected
But wait, didnt it launch on the same PC before?
Yes
Just try re installing smapi and launching the exe directly first
Probably just steam freaking out
And if that doesnt work try launching smapi through the console
Yeah the steam link to smapi loves to break
I have no idea why
Jus steam things.
i updated the ui info suite mod and when i launch the game it skips that mod now because "UIInfoSuite2-2.2.4 because it contains files, but none of them are manifest.json". i still have the old version in the folder, i've tried launching it with the old version removed but the error line still appeared

Hmm ok. I will try that, but the goal is running modded with the Always Online mod. So it kind of defeats the purpose of the server
poor performance is usually related to mono or sometimes SMAPI itself
the usual fix we have for it is reverting to the version I linked, but since you're running mods you can try reverting to 1.5.4
does anyone knows where to put the code for joining co op ?
It needs to be updated ?
I'm asking if you own it on one of the 3
Because multiplayer doesn't work on pirated copies so I don't go through the steps until I make sure a user hasn't pirated it
ok
Ui has been updated but the actual files aren't there [at least I haven't checked since yesterday]
Modded questions don't really get answered here Kingly, Arcane directed them already for a reason ;P
How do i make a copy of my save file to play on? I have a multiplayer save rn and i wanna continue it in a different save file when my friend isnt online

Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
so
i had 2 achievements that i had in game but not in steam
so i did that saves manipulation trick
but now the game thinks i dont have this achievement IN GAME
do i do that trick again
or do i recover a backup

Yeah we don't do the other way around
The save editing method is the least preferred one
You should just do it with smapi
Mods maybe? 
i guess i'll just recover a backup
i didnt lose that much content anyways
all fixed
how did u fix it?
restored a backup
Yeah smapi is the easier way to fix steam ones for the record, just because save editing can lead to well this

hey, can someone help? i changed my farm type in the game files and now i have these bushes that i cant get rid of. it was forest-hilltop, i got rid of everything i could from my forest farm but theyre still here :c is there perhaps a mod i can use to edit these out?
and no my axe cant get rid of even the accessible ones
There is a mod, #archived-modded-support is the place to ask
i also asked there
Well then you already asked in the right place
We don't deal with mods and that needs a mod 😛
well this wasnt a mod i just went into the roaming file and changed a number
technically counts as a 'broken save' no?
"perhaps I can use a mod to help edit these out"
perhaps if it cant be fixed in vanilla? i was only asking if there was a vanilla way or if i needed a mod
anyway i fixed it so whatever
Is there a way to play multiplayer on PC without having to share a code? I have someone I play with regularly.

That's about the only thing I could remotely think of
i'll give it a shot
If you just switched the type of vanilla farms, like the forest farm to the river farm (from what I see) you might have to go back to the forest farm and remove the bushes (you can cut down the bushes with an axe on the forest farm).
However if it is modded, I can't help you :(
Oh guess it has been fixed 👍
i did switch back to forest but absolutely every destroyable bush was already gone
Oooooh I see, so they were the non-destroyable got it 👍
i believe it was the bushes at the bottom and top of the trees that separate the two sets of logs
but yeah its fixed now
I bought the game via the app store, but I don't have any game audio? I checked the settings and there the audio is all on max. I don't know how I could fix this?
Maybr check if your device is on silent mode in the bar that you can slide down on top?

Ah yes this fixed it! I have silent mode constantly on, and other apps do still have audio so I didn't realise that could be a problem 😅 . Thank you so much!

so a couple days ago a friend and I started an multiplayer save, and we played for a while but for a good bit my friend has been busy and unable to play. I had nothing better to do so I was just playing the game without him, but he said he'd prefer to play on the day of the Flower Dance so I duplicated my save file the day before the dance so I could keep playing on my own. My free time got out of hand and by the time my friend was able to play again it was early fall and I had made enough progress to where I'd prefer to stick with what I'd been playing the whole time. My friend didn't have a problem with that, so we used what was originally the duplicate. During the time my friend was gone, I had gotten a full 10 heart relationship with Leah, and had the Mermaid Pendant, and I was just waiting for my friend to be able to play because I wanted him to be at the wedding. So when he came back I gave her the pendant and of course with my luck we had very awkward timing and my friend had to pick up food on the night before the wedding. I paused the game and waited for him to come back, but when he did he wasn't able to join the game, so I ended the day to save not knowing that the wedding cutscene started immediately and then closed the game. So of course when I loaded the save again, I woke up in my house and the wedding cutscene didn't play. I've tried only leaving the save files with _old in the file names and deleting that part, but this isn't working. For some reason, I also only have three files in the folder. I'd like to be able to see my own wedding so any help I can get with this would be appreciated
is this a tileset mistake?
is this a bug?
i think
I just counted and there are actually 93 items donated, but in the artifacts and ores tab it shows that I donated everything
I just remembered that I had found an artifact that said I needed to donate to Ghunter, but I had already donated this item, so I just sold it
I’m having an issue where Every day I wake up my screen starts flickering between the loading screen and the actual game and is extremely painful for my eyes and I’ve tried a few things to fix it but non have worked

I figured it out it was a glitch with multiplayer
I switched to a single player world to check and it fixed it
I also turned of vsync which could’ve fixed it
Where's the arrow head and the quartz?
What fixed it was turning the game into windowed borderless
Do you have a VRR screen?
VRR screens can flicker like that at low framerates/frametimes.

hi can someone help me? I open the game but it is very lag
Last version, 32bit version
using legacy?
I just downloaded it from steam and installed the 32bit compatibility beta
do other games lag
I don't know what you mean by patch fixes
some configuration, I don't know
the PC runs heavy games, but this one has a lot of lag
does task manager show it eating a ton of resources
If legacy doesn't even work idk if anything will
what is legacy?
compatibility
playing multiplayer i find that the people who arent hosting are getting disconnected quite a lot, is there any fix to this? I googled it and found several ways to do it but none have fixed anything, but i found lots of people with the same issue
is there a mod that could change it? is there a steam setting or something else that I should do?
^^^
mods arent identical, but problem persisted before mods were enabled and after mods were removed
compatibility mode enabled
"display size for library user interface elements" set to small
enabled "low bandwith mode" and "low performance mode"
disabled "enable GPU accelerated"
problem persisted on LAN
"Show Invite Code" and "Join Invite Code" are present for both players

hello!! im trying to play multiplayer on switch and have everything ready like a cabin and stuff but it wont show up on local or online play for my friend to join do u know why
Post your smapi log.
I suspect running too many code mods, especially those that hit performance hard, is detrimental to connection stability.
You should run the regular branch of SDV, not the 32 bit version.
currently having issues with the game audio (its very distorted), heres the log but im not seeing anything that could be causing it; also tried all the possible issues listed on the provided site but didnt seem to fix it
https://smapi.io/log/4a06e740e9c2419cbbbf65248674eaae
having this audio issue with and without mods so honestly im not entirely sure, if any other info will help shed some light ill happily provide
heres what its sounding like for me if that helps at all
using the compatibility version of the game seems to fix the issue but id like to run mods so finding an alternative would be great
Does it do that with the regular, vanilla version too?
Try running smapi with an empty mod folder, and post the log.
sure thing
oh true, ill try that after
heres what i got
really not uh
a whole lot
we thinkin reinstall in steam?
can i add mods on stardew pc, i downloaded it thru Microsoft store
reinstalled, audio still bugged 😔
the fix is compatability
if you want to use mods you'll have to revert to 1.5.4
apologies if im being silly or missing something, but i dont seem to have the option for other versions than none, or legacy
!legacymodding
If your computer is older, in some cases you may need to use the compatibility branch in order to play Stardew Valley, but SMAPI does not run with the compatibility branch. See here for more details: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#SMAPI_doesn.27t_work_with_compatibility_branch

ah damn i didnt even see that section, thanks!
its just so weird cuz i have a beast of a laptop and i still gotta do this
oh well
Help. My cows are bugged?
Oh yeah thats weird on new hardware
Do you have some kind of weird audio effect enabled
Like go down to the sound and check if you have spacial sound on
🤷
ig ill try with it off, just in case
SDV is weird about picking output devices though
And theres no way to change it afaik
oh?
So maybe it is picking some bad output device
My client has blutooth problems all the time
If you want to be scorched-earth sure, you can temporarily disable the outputs you dont want in the windows sound panel or even Device Manager
honestly even if its a pain every time i open the game i just wanna play lmfao
so ill try it
you have got to be kidding me
LMAOOOO
okay so uh, i turned off voicemeeter banana
works PERFECTLY
that is truly something
I bet SDV was outputting to one of those virtual outputs
that it should not be outputting to
That is really something CA should add...
i guess so, strange
or maybe its already queued for 1.6, idk
im actually kinda shocked that that isnt an issue for more people, its a pretty common tool for content creators
My MP partner ran into it to
Well a similar issue
You should open an official ticket or something if you want it to work with voicemeter in the future though
As a output selector would be great
for sure yeah, appreciate the help
Hey, why are my cows not eating
But food is right there
They aren't producing milk either
are you putting hay on the bench for them to eat

he is running vanilla
I'm using SMAPI with one clientside mod
problem still occurred before mods were enabled and after they were disabled
Is this on console? The most I can think of doing is selling and rebuying (horrible I know)
Just going to reply to this original message. Getting disconnected like this sounds like the gog servers not liking the internet being thrown around. Surprise, even if you are on steam, Stardew uses the gog servers.
I am on PC specifically the Xbox gamepass
Might still try selling and rebuying then

Unfortunetaly cross platform isnt an option yet so i dont think so :((
That's unfortunate thx
I'm not sure that is compatible?
At the very least yall should both be running smapi, but I would run the same client side mod too.

Ok next year
where did you get that from
Well I guess if it comes out before next year then you might as well wait to play it until next year!
Nah I ain't waiting it for a year
When it's already released
In pc
Good thing I got a PC hehehe
SDV is probably a pretty good game to stream.
The pixel art top down style should compress really well.
Meaning you arent losing as much visual quality as you would in other games.
once again, the problem has persisted since before I even installed mods and after I removed my mods. It isn't a problem with mods
Oh, sorry, I misread.
IDK then. Try switching hosts, and perhaps run spritemaster on the host and client since it speeds the game up and fixes some bugs?
Also, client connectivity seems to have gotten better in our game when I switched the host PC from wifi to wired Ethernet.
is there any way to switch the host without having to completely restart? that was something we wanted to try but cant figure out
Oh just send them the save file.
IDK about switching farmers though
I think that requires a save edit
I would probably just switch appearances with the wizard and call it a day, but I think its relatively easy as far as save editing goes.
For the record we don't exactly support save editing here
You can mess stuff up too easily.
hello!! im trying to play multiplayer on switch and have everything ready like a cabin and stuff but it wont show up on local or online play for my friend to join do u know why
Does a second monitor affect FPS and stuff? Because it feels like the background is going pixel by pixel
Sometimes SDV doesnt like being tabbed out
Try Borderless fullscreen in the main monitor
It should still work with VRR if thats why you're running fullscreen
Oh wait, do you mean sdv is sluggish or the stuff on the 2nd monitor
Also what's you're monitor's refresh rate, and do you have vsync turned on
plain vsync on a regular 60hz monitor feels super sluggish for me, as any hitch will drop you to 30

anyone have any solution for SDV on Linux having some pretty rough stuttering?
Can't say I've experienced it, but just to make sure- are you using wine? (It can cause stuttering in games easily)
If it's steam, id suggest checking game settings. Compatibility should say Steam Linux Runtime, afaik
If it's already native (or you installed it via the .sh), no idea
just got the ||deme. bat/mushroom cave|| cutscene and now my character is stuck
Are you using any mods? Esp. Any that change his files (or events in general)?
I'll check, but my SMAPI does launch properly so I'd imagine it's running linux runtime, let me check
any idea what "Stema linux runtime - sniper" and "- soldier" are?
No idea what the sniper and soldier parts mean, no
Recent known bug
Just gotta pass out
Am I the only one who can't play through gamepass?
I almost wonder if the mods being on the SD card is too much
Like, the SD card functions perfectly fine, but maybe not for that case
Doesn't explain why the vanilla game does it though
Xbox/Microsoft has been having issues recently
If this is a steam deck our knowledge about that is extremely limited, and by that I mean I don't think any of us regular helpers have one
you honestly may want to ask on the forums/reddit
The stutter doesn't seem steam deck specific, couple people on linux have reported it, it's just with the Deck being so popular it's reported as "error on steam deck" when in reality it's just linuix.
Have you tried the legacy/compat version?
You mean Proton?
No I mean
Proton doesn't work with SMAPI because SMAPI forces the linux launcher.

Anyone happen to know why the resolution keeps doubling in settings, I've manually changed it to my native resolution in the startup config, however it keeps trying to double it. When using fullscreen it ends up both monitors I own and I am unable to change it since the menu option is out of reach same goes for windowed fullscreen
Are you using mods
nope
Well if you've already progressed 2 days you may be out of luck
You can only go back one
And unless they magically reappear who knows
ohh okie , my friend and I think it's some kind of glitch. She got a divorce tho , so I think she was gonna get rid of them anyways
Either way we were just curious
thx for the help
Which one?
Not a technical issue, this belongs in#stardew-valley. ^^
Alr ty!!
Do other games run OK on your system?
multiplayer game, this happened for no reason
I'm getting a serious issue. I can't launch it (steam) I'm getting a message that says 'error occurred while updating Stardew Valley (missing executable). I have literally done EVERYTHING from verifying files to uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, everything the steam help page recommends. NOTHING is working, please give some guidance. I'd hate to never be able to play this game again, but that's the way it's looking at the moment.
Mods?
@red fjord not after completely uninstalling it
Clear your launch options?
@red fjord can you give a bit more information, I might have, but not sure
Right click SDV on steam and click properties. See if the launch options is filled or not. If it is, clear it.
Okay, cleared that, giving it another go
@red fjord you are amazing, thank you. That fixed it! ❤️
Where does SMAPI look locally for saves?
Nvm found it. I think I managed to get SMAPI working on proton
It's jank though
I'm going to ask this gets deleted solely for the purpose of him not getting spanned
Oh a deck 
Yeah that should be plenty of muscle and a great software/driver config for SDV, no idea why native would run slow.
Some simulation games do perform much worse running natively than through proton, unfortunately.
Stellaris, for instance, had a 50% hit last time I checked. Its absurd.
No
I tried following several standard Microsoft procedures to try to resolve this error, but I didn't have the patience and did a clean format and now it opens normally here
For those who are having problems opening Stardew Valley on the Microsoft Store/Xbox, I think that unfortunately the only options are doing a clean format or updating windows with the option to keep personal files.
Linux instance of SDV is actually really jank - After some time it gets massive frame stuttering and is completely unplayable. But booting it in Proton, while fixing the stuttering, disables SMAPI.
I had to veer off the course of google, but I got it working 😂
Uh, Greetings!
I am currently having issues opening the game. I do not use any mods, so there should not be any mod-related issues with it. I haven't played since 2020, so I only recently updated steam and Stardew on this PC.
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, deleting "start-up preferences", making it "administrator", verifying steams file integrity and restarting my pc.
Does anyone think they could help me? Please and thank you! :D
Sorry if I may be interrupting.
I'm a bit busy, so please ping me if you think you can help me out. Thanks! :)
Did you ever fix this? Still happens to me
What is your operating system?
Even though I know the answer will be “it’s not possible lol” Is there any way to downgrade my save from 1.5 to 1.4 if I haven’t used any of the 1.5 content. I just wanna be able to play on mobile again
It’s the only thing keeping me sane during the last few days of school where literally every class is useless and a waste of time
technically its possible, but i wouldn't be surprised if 1.5 changes the save in ways that might glitch mobile*
*if there isn't, just ctrl+f for 1.5.6 and replace it with 1.4.5
It’s ok I have like 20 backups
What file should I use ctrl f on
the savegameinfo.. i think?
Windows 7
Well here we go
Let’s see if it work
It crashes when trying to open 😦
Thanks for the help @granite stream I appreciate it. It may have not worked but it was close 🙂
hey, so ive been having this issue where stardew valley is taking an abnormal time to open, also i cannot create any characters, or basically anything because of a lag spike, my game worked before but now it isnt, i have checked my pc specs, drivers, the game files, everything. i am hopeless, having deleted every save file i had
i also do not use mods
!legacy
@rare sedge There are some instances where you will need to use the compatibility version of the game. 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.
Ah! Nevermind! The "Governor bot" actually fixed my issue. Thank you nonetheless!
i am still curious, why does that bug happen?
My bug was different from yours, i actually couldn't open the game at all. Itd load for a bit then stop
Maybe it has something to do with an update?
the fix for you was legacy?
its bc monogame has weird bugs
im not complaining, the game works.
buuuuuuuut there is like 100ms lag spikes every idk like 5 seconds
if compatibility mode didn't work, you can try playing in something that isn't fullscreen
vsync off, 143.smth hz
🤷 It should like fine on a 144hz monitor
Especially if its VRR
Maybe try forcing Fast/Adaptive sync (Nvidia) or enhanced sync (amd) in the driver panel
But my guess its something else.
!legacy try this for shits and giggles

Because monogame
So I'e just had my entire heavily modded game crash completely twice in a row, which was kind of exciting. Both times were while giving a loved gift for the qi quest, it made the 'quest completed' sound and then the entire game (and honestly most of the rest of Windows) ceased to function. Here's a SMAPI log for it: https://smapi.io/log/3e8a97f95b8243b5a8043ec1fd0e7280
I'm normally reasonably good at debugging, but I have no idea where to start with this one.

Got an error after switching from XBOX to Steam, "this character belongs to another player" for co-op, need help
Yep, stuff is tied like that not sure you can do much

Gamepass is the cheapest way if thats what you mean
I'm having trouble with multiplayer farm joining.
After I enter the code for joining someone's farm and select the farm to join, I get into loading screen and it loads infinitely...
Same problem if I host the game..
Did anyone have this problem?
Mods folders must be identical
generally speaking
otherwise 🤷
how do you know they're using mods
I dont 😛
yeah no mods.. just a plain vanilla
Maybe you need to set up port forwarding if using a direct IP?
Or a VPN, though I cant specifically recommend any as I havent used em in awhile
Assuming you are running the gog version
If its steam or Xbox it should Just Work
we don't recommend vpns
Nope i'm actually running steam version

@weary herald 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).
Thanx but what if nothing of that is helpful? I've seen and done everything i could find with that kind of problem.. but still the same problem.. it just stops on loading screen.. singleplayer and lan is working just fine .. but co op not
So only thing i figured it could be is ping
Hello, I have stardew valley on steam and I would like to buy it on the Microsoft store for my friend as a gift for her birthday. would co-op still work and how?
Here's a guide https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Multiplayer
I think my "Introductions" quest is bugged, i've checked multiple lists and i've got 28 people talked to but i can't get the quest finished
it's stuck at 27/28 and the only person with ??? is him
and i can't find anywhere who that is
it's either bugged or i'm being stupid
Hé was in the egg party
He’s usually in the store
what's his name
You need to talk to him
Not buy from him
Pierre
The store next to harvey’s clinic
how have i never spoken to pierre
It happens
damn he would've been the last person i'd thought to check
You buy from him all the time and don’t relise that’s not talking to him apparently
Anyone know a fix for this, pc wont even open the game at all and we tried to use smapi to decode the issue https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/374367293372629003/979141912214769694/unknown.png?width=1440&height=231

we know about that but is there any way we can just play the game in the regular way
because we want to eventually use mods
Does it work?
we cant even get the base game started
If it works you're suffering from the monogame issue with no current fix because it's unbelievably random and not reproduceable
it doesn't work, we try to launch the game and it just instantly crashes/doesnt open
This version?
that version works
Sucks to be you if this happens i guess
^
If you want mods you can revert to 1.5.4 which #archived-modded-support can help with
Unfortunately that didn't answer my question.
If it's PC to PC yes
So it doesn't matter wear I get her game from as long as it's for PC right?
Indeed
thank you so much
Any1 kno if this game is cross play compatible?
I don't think it is
k thanks was jus curious
!crossplay
Crossplay is not currently possible and may never be possible on Stardew Valley. According to ConcernedApe the technical barriers are very high. And he would like to add it and may eventually look into it but as of now it is not possible.
I have a problem, and I hope one of you can help. "Oops! SMAPI couldn't load the game executable. The technical details below may have more info."
