Bug/Issue Crash on creating first save or trying to load, I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 64bits

Title explain my situation, I tried different tricks but I couldn't make it work. Running it trough terminal shows some "unhandled exception blablabla..." Error on StardewValley.GameSave... etc Error running mcs: Out of memory.

Tried installing it on Debian 8 64bits and it worked.

 

How much free memory do you have when you run the game? Also, could you paste the whole error? Thanks.

 

How much free disk space? or how much RAM? I don´t know how to check how much free RAM is available in a certain moment:/

This is the full error:

Try running it in Ubuntu again. If it crashes due to lack of memory again, run the following command in a terminal to check how much free memory you have:

Code:

grep -E 'Mem|Cache|Swap' /proc/meminfo

You'll see something like this in the output:

Code:

MemTotal:       16363400 kB
MemFree:         1413800 kB
Cached:          1380612 kB
SwapCached:       162216 kB
SwapTotal:       4194300 kB
SwapFree:        1922788 kB

Paste that into a reply.

 

You can also run:

Code:

free -h

This will show you the memory info in "human readable" amounts. An example when I run it on my home server:

Code:

$ free -h
                total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            15G        2.3G         12G        9.0M        1.1G         12G
Swap:           30G          0B         30G

To get total disk usage you can try:

Code:

df -h

I hope that helps a bit.

 

Bit late to this, but if you have wine-mono installed, remove it. In terminal:

dpkg -l | grep wine-mono​

I remove it and everything worked again.

sudo apt remove wine-mono0.0.8 (in my case)​

It's possible another installed mono package is getting in the way.
For me, it was that one.
