Stardew Valley Multiplayer Beta: Known Issues & Fixes

That's normal, you are given random bulletin board requests regardless of your ability to complete them.

 

There's been numerous times when the game will outright crash when a player tries to join the game. I'll try and find out why.

 

Hello, I have been running into a problem with accessing the community center info through the inventory menu. When I open the community center button 1- the unlocked bundles are not updated. It does not show any of them started or in progress. Additionally I can only see the Craft room, the arrows at the top do not let me switch rooms. This is a LAN game. Everything works fine for the host but as a farmhand it does not update. Also, when I visit the community center everything is correct as well.

 

I've had issues numerous times when my game would crash if someone else joined. I don't see a pattern or anything. Just when they join

 

Getting the same bug that a few players have mentioned before at the Stardew Valley Fair. When I try to enter the fishing minigame, my character is rooted in place. When I click LMB to cast / fish anyway, an empty cast strength bar appears forever but the cast doesn't actually complete (the strength bar is just empty and won't move). Pressing every button on the kb/m doesn't do anything. Timer counts down as per normal but when it hits 0, the game doesn't end. The screen is just frozen and I can't do anything at all other than force close the game.

This happens when I'm playing version 1.3.9, single player. I've force closed and reopened the game 6 times and every time the same bug happens, even when I go straight to the fair with no items or equipment. If the issue persists when I get to the same point in my multiplayer game, I'll update with more details.

This is the first 'game-breaking' bug I've found, would love a fix soon! Other than that, great job on the patches, updates, and new content!

 

I and my friend also can't the server we were playing on to show up on my screen. He is hosting and he can get on but he can't give me the code and I can't connect to the server. Both our internets are working.

 

I ran into a bug where the traveling merchant is "Out of Stock" despite me having not bought anything. I ran to the cart first thing in the morning. I reloaded my game to see if that would fix it. It didn't. I started a new game so I am on Spring Year 1, Day 19.

 

Not sure what causes it, but when I'm on a friend's farm, I can't see the Greenhouse, it's just a shadow.


Doesn't bother me right now, but it might later on!

 

Hi ran into a consistent glitch in my multiplayer run.
My Game
-version 1.3.8
-multiplayer -Lan
-night of the 28 the Farm map starts to lag at 11pm and becomes unplayable once it gets past midnight. Once the player(s) faints then game becomes locked at a black screen and the game needs to be started thus restarting the 28th day.

This can be fixed by switching to single player mode and complete the 28th day to start the next season. Save then switch back to multiplayer mode. For some reason this only happens at the end of each season not every night.

This freeze/glitch has happened 4 times in a row.

 

Three issues I've noted with multiplayer on 1.3.9.

1. When playing with a gamepad, in the TV menu, the D-Pad moves the cursor but does not actually select the option (for example, moving the cursor to fortune with the D-Pad and pressing select will still give the weather report). Moving the cursor with the control stick works as intended.

2. Cutscenes are inconsistent. For the community center cutscene, the avatar of the server host was always used with their name, but the wizard cutscene discussing the community center used the activating player's avatar. Later, the cutscene where Clint gives you the furnace recipe showed my avatar coming out of the server host's house when I was not the server host nor lived in that house.

3. Inconsistency between crop placement for players. See attached images:

 

A bug I ran into was that if you go to the fall Stardew Valley Fair and go fishing, your character will freeze up but continue running. You can see the time ticking down but you can't move or charge up the fishing rod. Only the fishing game seems bugged. When times runs out, the game stays frozen with 0:00 time.

 

Not sure if this is a known issue, but on my two player server I tried to run my partner's axe to Clint's to get upgraded because I was going that way anyway. I paid the gold and copper, and Clint took the axe. The next morning, the original axe was returned to my partner's cabin as if it had been lost with a note from the mayor, but we weren't refunded the gold or the copper.

EDIT: I went back to Clint after two day, and he still gave me a copper axe? So now between two players we have a copper axe and two plain axes.

 

a couple different bugs

1. Lagging when other player goes down a level in the mines (no matter where I am throughout town)
2. Spa- I am a female but since I am not the main player in the game who is a male, it wont allow me to go into the women's side in the spa.
3. When I turned in my pick ax to Clint, the other player received an extra pick ax and scythe so now we have 3 total

 

Hey has this happened to anyone else?
Tried joining my friend's game, but I spawned inside the wall and I can't click "OK" after I finish creating my character. I can see the status of the game, I can type in chat, I can what goes on in the door area of the main cabin, but I can't close the character creation screen and I don't know how to get out of the wall.
Is there any known fix?

 

My game froze while playing on PC.

I was a 2nd player on host farm through Steam Connect. We are the only players in the game. The host was in level 13 of the mines.

As the second player, I had just finished the sequence where Gunther requests the player to donate to the museum. I donated some quartz and exited the library. I walked across the bridge immediately to the left of the library and was about to try and speak with Sam when the game completely froze. I had to quit and return.

When I quit and returned, that night the game repeated the same level up screens from the previous night (fish lv 1 and farm lv 1).

 

So after playing a bunch with my friend on online mode (me being host) him being farmhand,
-Music from mines, including the little dust ball enemies in ice mines still make sound in the most recent version this post is being posted on. once in a while (currently mostly in late winter, if my friend is in ice mines, the calm winter music of the outside will change to mine music out of nowhere (not able to re- try due to it being random)
- Shane's 10 heart event forced my friend to disconnect , as he was still in town delivering the "catch a squid" quest, once he reconnected I was no-where on the map until the game was re-started. (opening the Map while I was in the event would also crash his game, causing him to have to log back in a bunch just to test the waters of the bug)
- Shanes unlockable blue chicks might not work, as I skipped the Event (Seen it before multiple times), And tried Several days (hours) to actually get a blue chick , And havent seen one at all, either a bug or im very, very unlucky.
-if a farmhand is opening a chest on any of the Mine-reward floors, and the Host clicks the chest (it seemed closed to me) It disappears with no one getting any item. (No idea if that was just me being stupid, but thought it was worth a mention)

-No idea if any of these have been mentioned, as there are 125 pages of Bug reports already on this page, if they are fixed/already mentioned, then please just ignore them-

-I do have a few mods, but they are mostly just Sprite edits of characters and the houses (adding flowers to houses and making the character sprites have features like wolf ears because I thought it looked cool) , With one Sorting mod that I don't even think works. and they Shouldn't have affected the game too much.

 

Sebastian glitched on my main. He was outside in my coffee patch, but using his 'in his room' dialogue of "go to work or read comics all day"/"Do we have any frozen pizza?"

This is the SS of after I gave him his usual gift -

 

Got a crash in the skull mines (2 players)

No SMAPI
1.3.6698.32634

 

I'm playing as a farmhand. My game crashed as I was looking at a book in the library and the main player started a cut scene.

This was immediately after I put in the order to upgrade my pickaxe. I'm not sure if it was the crash or not, but somehow the upgrade got cancelled and on the day I was supposed to pick it up I got a letter from Mayor Lewis saying my tools had been found and he returned them to me.

 

When we had a mushroom tree appear in fall, only I could see it (I was hosting) but it appeared like a normal tree to my friend until he relogged.

The townspeople seem to comment waaay more on crops you sold, sometimes have to wade through the same dialogue about buying cranberries from Pierre 3+ times before they actually say anything different. Almost all npcs I talk to seem to be doing it.
