Crash on Journey of the Prairie King

I bought Stardew Valley a couple of weeks ago during the steam sale. I enjoy this game very much and have recently discovered the achievement aspect within the game. I was moving on to complete Fector's challenge, and after about 10-15 minutes in the arcade game ( in the saloon) Journey of the Prairie King, my game freezes and does not resume, forcing me to exit the game as it does not respond. I have recreated this problem across many different situations, days, and seasons, and it seems to do the same. This seems to happen most often around 3 p.m. but this might be due to the fact that I'm doing the same things and just ending up at the saloon around 3.

If anyone knows a solution to this problem, or finds a solution to this problem, a response would be much appreciated!

Hi @Sqwaine.

• Have you installed any mods or replaced files under Content?
• Does it still happen if you reset your game files?
• If so: can you temporarily install SMAPI, cause the crash again, then reply with a link to your latest SMAPI log?

 

@Pathoschild

I have no installed mods, and by reset your game files you mean verify integrity of the game, yes, I have done that through steam (right click on the game in steam library, select "properties", under the local files tab).

If you mean something else besides this I have not.

I installed SMAPI, and launching the game with this added on (through properties set launch options) seemed to fix the problem, because I was unable to cause the crash once I played the game through SMAPI.

Thanks for your help!

 

Prairie King is crashing for me too, at multiple levels but on Switch, fully updated.
