Stardew Valley Multiplayer Beta: Known Issues & Fixes

Bug: The recycling machine displays that it has created a blank item, and when trying to receive the item or destroy the machine at close range, it says "inventory full" despite the player's inventory not being full (see attached image). I was able to fix this by backing up, destroying the machine with my pickaxe, and placing it back down. I believe this issue was caused because I placed something (I don't remember what, but I think it was the "trash" item) into the recycling machine then went to sleep before the processing finished. When I woke up, the bug had occurred. I was playing multiplayer as the host with 2 friends connected, and they both experienced the same scenario I did.

 

A few to report:
1. I don't know if this is just me, but it seems like you gain experience a lot slower than in single-player. For example, I mined for two days straight and I'm was still at level 1 mining.
2. One of my friends (not-host) gave Clint an axe to upgrade. Came back after the correct amount of time had passed and did not receive an axe back. Just went straight to the regular Clint menu and now we're down an axe.
3. The progress of the bundles in the community center and the artifacts in the library do not show up for everyone on my farm.
4. Drops from mine monsters glitch through the wall and are unobtainable.
5. When a player faints, the energy deficit is inconsistent the next morning (ie. I (the host) takes the hit while the player who actually fainted (invitee) did not).
6. On occasion, when all players sleep on time (before 1AM) there is a huge energy deficit the next morning.

 

Noticed a few bugs while playing multiplayer:

1. Cannot view community center bundles from menu screen. I could only see the crafts room bundles, could not scroll to the others

2. When the other two people I (guest) was playing with donated museum items, I still had a "Gunther can tell you about this" info on any items I picked up that they had already donated. Going to the museum and clicking all the items fixed this, but then the next day every artifact we had donated disappeared and we had to re-submit them (though we did not receive any rewards for re-submitting)

3. I (guest) was booted from the game on Spring day 19 after trying to go into town (I believe I got as far as the bus stop) and freezing on that screen for about a minute

4. When breaking fiber plants, boxes/barrels in the mine, or crystals, there would be an "explosion" then a second "explosion" delayed a couple seconds after

 

at the cave desert, everytime that i (host) find the hole, for the other player it is a ladder, so he goes down just one floor, while i go down several floors

 

Will give it a try, thank!

 

I found a possible bug with feeding animals. Right now it is spring in my save file and there is grass for my animals to eat, they’ll go outside and seem like they eat the grass but the next day they are upset because I didn’t give them hay in the feeder, I checked and I give them hay even when it’s raining but on nice days they don’t eat the grass, just hay. Not sure if it’s my mistake or an actual bug.

 

Hi, I've started playing the new beta on my existing account. There seems to be an issue when I go to complete the community center. The final scene doesn't occur after the Junimos say farewell. If I leave the community center it fills in the junimo house with the rest of the community center but there is no further cut scenes. I also have some screenshots of what it looks like as well as a junimo I found to be stuck in the top lefthand corner.

 

Sometimes bombs do not go off for the farm hand. you put up and down and run away from it and you still hear the ticking noise but they do not explode. Sometimes they explode but about three times longer than it usually takes for a bomb to blow up.
Items in the farm hand cabin fridge or not saved. If you put an item in the fridge and then quit the game after it saves, will you open the game up next the items will be all gone.

 

Did anyone else recognize, that the in-game sound effects for walking, fishing, mining etc. is always the same volume for all players no matter how far they are away from each other if they are in the same map section? It's a bit odd that I hear double fishing sounds (throwing rod etc.) when my partner is at the opposite corner of the map section and I always think that it is my rod cause he is far far away.
I think that's a little bug, too, isn't it?
Best regards and thanks for the hard work

 

I have the same issue but all the villagers gifts don’t reset, I commented it on here but I wanted to see if anyone else was dealing with it too. Hopefully this gets fixed soon!

 

hello again.

issue #1
(co-op)rearrange donated items in the museum can cause them to disappear.

issue #2
weather report is not accurate. In addition, when a save is reloaded, the weather report always says tomorrow will be sunny.
Steps for Reproduction 1:
weather report:rainy, exit to title, load the same save, weather report:sunny
Steps for Reproduction 2:
weather report:rainy, sleep, rainy
exit the game, delete save file, rename save_old file as save, load this save
weather report:sunny, sleep, sunny

issue #3
(co-op)Feast of the Winter Star. Reload the same save can cause guest player's secret gift-giver to change.
Steps for Reproduction:
mayer's mail says secret friend is Evelyn
(may have reloaded game because of crush)
attend Feast of the Winter Star, secret gift-giver is actually Clint
exit game and reload the same save
secret gift-giver changes into another different NPC

 

I had the weather issue too, but you could still see the rain icon on the tv screen even though the dialogue said sunny

 

I just ran into a bug where my character got into a bad state. I can't move or open any menus. I also dropped to 0 health without collapsing.
This happened when I accidentally cast my iridium fishing rod into a chest from the right side and attempted to move away at the same time.

 

*going to delete the thread where this was posted at*

1. 
   why does it display two player files when you ask to join a farm for the first time???
2. a friend of mine from canada lagged super hard. she would stay at 60am in the game while me (the host) would be at 9am?? but my friend from america would mostly be in sync
3. super lagging issues for my friend from canada. she would be trying to sleep in the night at the bed and then get stuck in a loading screen while it tries to transport her into a cut scene i had halfway through the day.
4. endless loading screens for the users i hosted!
5. everything was working fine after day 5 of sleeping in synch for a bit then a 4th player joined and it fucked up our synching problems again lil

and this is my favourite special bug (i kinda don't want you guys to fix this but):

"-when you try to steal a homeless mans fire it vibrates and takes all your energy"
basically when you try to deconstruct linus' campfire it just vibrates (doesn't drop as an item) and instead drains all your energy in an instant, dropping you to 0 energy after a while. it's great

tl;dr: clock desync and endless lag + loading screen makes multiplayer near unplayable

 

I'm not sure if this is known, but if there are no audio devices enabled/connected, Stardew Valley will refuse to boot. I'm just wondering if y'all knew about this?

 

Seems Shane is missfiering his responces...

 

Days before the update I had given the 2 possible gifts per week to a couple of villagers, after the update the counter was stopped updating, I still can not give them gifts after two weeks and counting, but with the others it is still reset with the gifts already in the beta.

 

Wedding ring recipe is showing up as an Error Item and when I buy it it doesn't show up in my crafting section.

 

Sprinklers for some reason didn't display properly here.
Seems they functioned on both sides though as the crops are watered, so not a big deal.

(My tackle is also glitched giving me infinite uses. This is persisting through swapping them out too..)

 

Item multiplication glitch: I'm a farmhand/guest on my friends farm. Went to upgrade my watering can, received it a few days later from Clint. Had it in my personal chest when I went to see Clint again, he gave me another one. Now we have an extra copper watering can.

I also can't view/scroll the community center bundles from the menu under the tree icon. I have to visit the community center to see the bundles.

My friend is responsible for taking items to the museum for us. For me (guest/farmhand), many items show "take this to Gunther" even though she already has. When I visit the museum the issue seems to fix itself.

I've also gotten multiple notifications in many nights in a row of "reaching mining level 1/fighting level 2" etc. even though I've done no mining or fighting that day.

Otherwise we've been having a ton of fun!

//Edit. Oh yeah, and my friend's (host of the farm) "Introductions" quest is stuck 27/28 even though she's said hi to everyone and in the social screen everyone's name is visible.

There might also be something from with the enemy hitboxes/hitting enemies. Hits seem to miss. Maybe due to lag? Especially with the white grub bugs in the mines.
