Stardew Valley Multiplayer Beta: Known Issues & Fixes

Couple more things i found

1. Mayors shorts. Had a standard sweet-pea in my inventory, when i click on the mayors short, it turned the sweet-pea into the short and left the real shorts on the floor. Clicked on them again, the animation showed me i was picking up a sweet-pea but ended up with 2 pairs of shorts instead.

2. Sam 2 hearts event. After i choose which type of music i like. Sam walks down to talk to Sebastian, at that point, 1/2 of Sebastian head disappears until Sam walks away from him. (Will try to get a screen shots)

 

Heya, =)

few more things have popped up for us.

1. We got really bad lag at one point. It was only outside on the farm, not in the cabin/house or elsewhere. I read that people linked this to the recycling machines which is possible. I placed down 3 about 5 days beforehand. Had one run with 3 broken disks which went fine. Put 2 soggy newspapers in after and forgot about them for a day or 2. The lag started in the evening on the last day of summer just as the event started. Managed to break the machines and get back to the cabins to sleep. Lag was gone the next day but came back around 5PM. No machines were placed this time. Haven't had a chance to test this with restarting the server yet.
2. Non-host characters can't move items in their cabins. The host can.
3. There seems to be something wrong with the gift giving at the moment. If the other player gave someone a gift before you that day it says that you already gave one too. However if you then interact with them again they thank you for the gift. Not sure if relationship points are affected.
4. I (guest person) got a fiberglass fishing pole for the host person and gave it to them through a box. This might just be really bad luck but they only caught trash items (about 20 in a row). This was from the wharf at the beach so not some pond where you can only catch rubbish.

Thanks. =)

 

My friend completed the bundle yet it appears as if i didn't do it. I can't redo the bundle since it's been done and now I can't toggle through the types.

 

Bug: Day refuses to progress when a player closes the game unexpectedly (Alt+F4)
Originally the waiting for players displayed 3/4 and then changed to 4/4 but did not progress.

 

I downloaded the new Beta for my game, and everything seemed to be working alright until I found that it no longer permits me to give gifts to Sebastion! I've tried everything, but the 'You've already given two gifts this week, that's enough!' Message keeps coming up, regardless of whether or not I have given him any gifts that week. It never resets, it always shows I've already given him two gifts already, but I haven't! I can't progress in our relationship unless I can find a way to fix this! Help?!

 

Hello so I bought my friend Stardew Valley so we could play it together and they seemingly set up the beta correctly but they can’t invite people and their only server options are “online” and “offline” on the game. Is it because I bought them the game?

 

Couple of minor bugs:

Sometimes, but not always, a co-op player will pass out at the end of the day when the main player has made it to bed and the co-op player will get charged the medical bill but it will be the main player who loses energy the next morning.

Sometimes hitting weeds will produce extra fiber from nowhere? Not coming from the weed they chopped but somewhere in the arc of the scythe, this happens with both scythe and rusty sword not tested will more advanced weapons.

Changing the key for the inventory doesn't seem to change the actual command from my friend's computer, not sure if this one is legit or just user error though.

 

On Autumn the 16th, the Stardew Valley Fair when going to play the fishing minigame, the character freezes, you are unable to move the moment you start the minigame, the fishing rod doesn't work properly like it should do normally, it will freeze the moment you go to try and use it, it just freezes at the top of the players head with no bar filling it. This has happened twice.

The first time; I tried exiting from the minigame, it just ended the timer and did nothing had to restart the game to see if it was a minor freeze with my computer itself.
Second time: The bug arose again and I have closed the game over since, had to go into the task manager to close it even though it presented no crash error or "Stardew Valley has stopped Responding" pop up.

Note:

1) I will add a screenshot of the bug later.
2) This bug was present within the single player game, I am yet to see if it is present within Multiplayer.

Edit log:
04052018 0329 BST: Adding Note 2).

 

The beta is not recognizing the skin tone I chose for my player on my screen but it is registering on my friend's monitor...

 

I can't host multiplayer from old save files (unmodded - Aaron, and modded with simple mods that shouldn't matter - Gayleb).

 

Im getting the same issue. Not sure if its because im in Australia.

 

Client Crash in Day 10 of Summer Year 1.

Game crashes after we finish our day, right afte we all go to sleep.

Additional Notes:

Log and Savegame attached

 

First time trying out the beta, seemed to go okay til about half the month in spring.

The most common things that occured:

1. Fish kept disappearing when I removed them from a chest, it seemed like it was specific fish because it happened to smallmouth bass 3 times but it was more than one type of fish. So that wasted time and money. It might have also been caused by right clicking to remove 1 at a time but it removes one and then deletes the stack in the chest. Ended up having to pull the entire stack out and manually put them back in 1 by 1 til i was holding the amount I desired.
   
2. The mines cause a lot of lag issues, if I went with someone or alone they would end up having to close the game due to a never ending loading screen or crash. Even for myself enemies ranged from slight bareable latency based lag to purely phasing through me while i try to swipe em with a sword, on the flip side I recieved no damage when they phased through me.
   
3. clock desynch as mentioned on the first post, I happened either side of the 20th spring date. The time difference ranged from 20 in game mins to 8 in game hours, seemed to be something that was triggered along with ramping up lag issues in the mines.
4. If I opened a chest that someone else wanted to they couldnt get into any after i had opened it, regardless of if they were first to open the chests or not. sometimes i just had to walk next to them and then, no chest access.
5. Hearing the other player when they weren't even on the same map, not as frequent as the rest but still frequent.
   
6. My friend reached level 3 foraging to get the tree tapping tool craft, upon reaching it, no level 3 foraging crafts were available in the craft menu. logging out didn't fix the issue, probably related to the clock desynch and mine lag issues due to how they all happened at the same time.

Stuff that happened occasionaly or once:

1. sometimes casting out the rod resulted in it not actually being cast out, happened maybe 3-4 times.
2. one time I cut down a tree 80% of the materials phased into the bushy border of the woods farm, later on, like a couple days later I'm walking through the area near the observatory in the north of town and a sound of a tree being cut down happened and the sound of the materials hitting the floor, I walk a little further north and theres a pile of wood and sap.

Stuff that might not be a bug idk:

1. Foragable resources seemed extremely low at the start of spring, there were 0-4 season items max in a day in the first 10 or so days, even the beach could be sparse even after fixing the bridge, spring onions had a low count too 0-1 for half the days they were available capping at about 6-7 on the best day. Salmonberries still seemed to be at their regular harvest numbers though but at the point they start growing the numbers of everything seemed to pick up. Not sure if this was a badly dealt rng card early game or what but it caused a bit of frustration for those that couldn't level their foraging without spending all their stamina cutting down trees.

 

I'm main player, and my girlfriend keeps getting the letter saying to go meet the wizard every day. If she goes and meets him, sleeps, she'll still get the same letter the next morning and will have to repeat the cutscene and all.

I, main player, skipped the cutscene for the wizard. I saw another poster say that the main player skipped the cutscene, and we got the same issue with the recurring letter.

 

Still having an issue where one of my farmhand's level 2 backpack is registering as a level one. The second and third row are still x'd out as though he has never upgraded his pack however he can manually place items in the second row. If his hotbar is full but he has space in the second row he will not pick up anything because his "inventory is full"

 

Recently ran into a bug where I upgraded my log cobin for 10,000 coins and 450 wood which then completed erased everything in one of my chests that consisted of 50 fish + various golden items I had been saving

 

I wanted to re verify that the framerate drop in the evening is a serious issue. Every night, around 6pm, my frames drop to around 1 frame every 5 seconds (or worse) as long as I'm in the farm (going in buildings or outside of the farm fixes it). This only affects framerate and movement, sound plays perfectly fine. When this happens, the fans on my computer go crazy. This lag didn't start until the first few days of summer (also around the time we built our first few recyclying machines). I saw the note that recycling machines might have something to do with it, so we removed them entirely, but we're still experiencing this game breaking lag

 

I moved my recycling machine into the cabin and it seemed to resolve the issue, it's most definitely something with the Recycling machines but if you want to still use them, just move em into the cabin n it will work

 

No idea if its been posted before, but I accidentally duped Crab Pots by rapidly placing them and removing them from the same spot. If you hold a Crab Pot while removing one, you will place it again right afterwards. After a you've done this a few times in quick succession, extra crab pots will fall onto the ground even though the pot is still placed in the water. I was able to do it two separate times in two different bodies of water. This was while I was a client in someone else's game, so it might be an issue with multiplayer, but I'll try reproducing it in singleplayer as well.

 

Every time theres a storm day in summer, when on my farm the frame rate drops significantly, to the point that it looks like it might crash, tried removing recycling machines but that didn't do anything.
