Stardew Valley Multiplayer Beta: Known Issues & Fixes

Loving the multiplayer! One thing to report, though. I was hosting and my partner was online with me--only the two of us, Spring 7, Year 1. They were fishing out at the docks on the beach, and I was in the mines. I picked up the Leather Boots, went down to level 11, and all was well. Then, I went down to level 12, and there was one of the flying white bugs that I proceeded to kill. My partner then started hearing the mine music, began to reel in a fish and was about to pull it up when they got a hard crash. Unfortunately, they didn't get a crash log, so this is what we've got.

 

When buying the first house upgrade, (kitchen), if another player enters the house the entire flooring becomes black and white checkered kitchen tiles. It also causes problems with carpeting furniture.

 

My boyfriend (farmhand, I was host) had his game crash while his axe was at the blacksmith to be upgraded from copper to steel. He rejoined during the same day, and when he returned to pick up his axe the next day, Clint was acting as if no tool had been turned in for upgrade. Neither of us can get it back, so now we only have one axe between us and we're terrified to try to upgrade any more tools. I tried to fix it via the Stardew Valley Save Editor, but this proved futile (I told it to give me a Steel Axe and it gave me a regular one). We would just add another farmhand and upgrade their tool, but it seems like each person can only do each upgrade once, so neither of us can upgrade any axe we get.

Unfortunately I have no error log for this; it didn't make any error logs dated for today when this happened.

 

I believe it was the sword you get in the chest on level 20? I can't remember if it's 10 or 20 you get the sword.

 

Tried to launch a new single player game. I had a lot of trouble trying to set some control keys for movement. To get the Up key set I had to click the Set button rapidly and rapidly tap the key I wanted to set. I finally got them to stick.

After leaving the Game Settings menu the chat box appeared and I can't get out of it. I can't quit the game, move, or do anything but type in the chat box. Game time is moving but at an extremely slow rate.


Ok this is odd. After I posted this the chat box disappeared and I can move now...

New glitch 10:14 PM PST - Character is doing the pickaxe motion over and over without stopping no matter what I press.

10:16 PM PST - Exited out of the game and restarted from Steam. Can't get out of bed. Click out of the game to type this, clicked back into the game and the Chat box reappeared. Can't get out of the chat box again.

 

[Note: The actual catches occur at 0:55 and 1:40]

So here's the weird fishing thing. Maybe I just don't understand how fishing quality works, but this video shows everything that happened to get me a Gold Star fish that was smaller than a Silver Star.

[Was done in multiplayer so could be related?]

I've updated the application to the latest beta version today, but it crashes on startup (Even the game screen hasn't shown up). I've tried deleting save data but it still crashes.

Here's the crash log and save data:

 

So my friend and I were messing around and we managed to duplicate household items. We are yet to test it on other other object though. To do so, spam click on said item, then have your friend spam it as well, the result is as seen below. Hope this helps with development, and use at your own risk.

 

In the museum, the little icon of a book never goes away even after you donate things, and no books are ever unlocked, it only says a book is missing.

 

I have experienced what I believe to be a bug. Both my friend and I purchased the recipe for a wedding ring. His recipe disappeared from his crafting menu while I still have mine. This same issue occurred with the ability to craft a furnace. I had the ability to craft a furnace for a little bit, but the next time I checked my crafting menu, there wasn't a furnace option.

 

Found a strange bug with Pierre's, other player was unable to buy certain items (tulip bulbs, jazz seeds), and could not exit the shop menu at all, neither the close button nor ESC worked. As the host I was able to interact with Pierre's and buy stuff normally, but they could not, even restarted the day and tried again.

 

Is coop: Yes

Are there any client players: Yes

Summary of issue: player1 would be teleported when player2 triggers community center event (it also happens in some other events)

Expected Behavior: p1 stays at where he was.

Actual Behavior: p1 is teleported.

Steps for Reproduction: p1 is in Robin's shop, p2 enters community center, p2 skips the event, p1 is teleported to cc.

 

Not a huge problem but the dressers in the cabins (where the fireplace is in the regular house) cannot be moved or removed!

 

Is coop: Yes

Are there any client players: Yes

Summary of issue: issue about opening the chest

Expected Behavior: right click on the chest and it opens immediately

Actual Behavior: the chest opens after a few minutes, and if someone passes between maps before the chest opens successfully, he would be stuck on the loading screen forever

Steps for Reproduction: right click on a chest on the farm, the chest does not open immediately, leave the farm.

 

crab pots are randomly disappearing after the night on multiplayer

 

There's a bug after the campout with Emily. For me, this happened on Spring 27th. After the cutscene, I woke up in the Secret Forest and can't find my character. I tried zooming all the way in and all the way out. I don't have any teleport items on me so I'll have to wait until my character passes out from exhaustion.

EDIT: After exiting the game and reloading, I woke up back in my house.

 

Just a real quick note: I never have had issues with lag in this game, however, ever since the new beta update, it's been lagging a lot more when entering new rooms (i.e. new level of the mine, entering my house from outside). I thought it might be my own computer, but it's definitely the game giving large processor spikes

 

So I've encountered a few bugs whilst playing by myself. The file in question IS a multi player file, but I've been playing it offline (basically as a test run before I try hosting).
So far I've had three different issues (I'll post each one separately)

Issue #1: Instance of extreme game lag while raining

Honestly this might be my fault. I was called away from the computer and left the game idling on the daily summary (I think I was gone somewhere between 20-30 min).
The game seemed fine when I came back and ran like normal... until it started raining in-game, then all of a sudden I could barely move and my clicks wouldn't register unless I held or spammed the mouse. I tried adjusting the settings (lowering resolution, toggling between windowed/full-screen), no result.

The game didn't crash, and eventually I thought to try and get inside and end the day. It took about five minutes to pull this off, but as soon as my character entered the house the lag disappeared. After saving I immediately closed and reopened the game and it was fine. No lag whatsoever.

It had rained in-game before and has done so plenty since then, but this was the only instance of lag I've had thus far.

 

Issue #2: Duplicated special quest items

This happened with the Major's "Shorts" and Linus' Basket quests. In both instances, I'm pretty sure I right-clicked instead of left and it produced two of the item (one in my inventory, one still on the ground/floor).

Both times I was caught by surprise and immediately left-clicked to pick up the copies, so I don't know if it can happen more than once.

It's worth mentioning that I've also completed Robin's quest WITHOUT this happening (although I don't know if I right-clicked in that instance).
