Stardew Valley Multiplayer Beta: Known Issues & Fixes

I found a glitch where my farming level has not leveled up at all. I've been playing for 19 in-game days and farming for every day.

 

Drats, unfortunately I do not, and double unfortunate I ended up replicating the same issue I initially posted a second time but again didn't save the error log. If it happens a 3rd time I will most certainly post it here for you. That said, a concern and question I would like to post as well.

Concern: I know this has been brought up previous, but feel it really needs to be stated more. In the mines for MP, only one person is able to get the chests every ten levels. If that's intentional, that's a bad choice since the chests in the mines drop A.) the best boots and B.) Drop a Star Fruit which I really don't think should be limited to only one person in a MP setting.

Question: Since one of the perks of getting married to a villager is a Star Fruit, can you/how do you go about getting said Star Fruit if you marry a MP partner instead?

 

So I have opted into the multiplayer beta and I have not yet had a chance to try out the multiplayer aspect. My issue however and I'm not sure if this is a bug even related to the beta or not, but my co-op game I made for when I get a friend to play with me is no longer listed in my saves and my single player game has rolled back to Summer of year 1 when I had been in Spring of year 2. I'm a bit upset by this and don't have any logs to show for it, but I just wanted to make sure that you were aware of this as it can be quite upsetting. Thank you for your time and for making a wonderful, if at times stressful game. lol ^_^ I get stressed sometimes when I can't get something a person wanted for a quest in time.

 

I don't know if it is already said in here, but there is a bug if the house of the other player in multiplayer is upgraded and something is in their refrigerator. There is a chance that all items placed in that refrigerator will be removed completely from the refrigerator.

[Short: Don't put anything into the refrigerator of the upgraded house of a multiplayer buddy except your own house]

Sorry for bad English and not really understandable explaining.

 

Hello, I experienced that the TV once told me it was going to be sunny all day, and it rained. I play singleplayer.
Also, wherever on the map I am, I can hear all the doors opening and closing, I can be near Joja, and will hear someone open their door on the other side of the square. Happens in the mountains as well. I think the proximity is now way too big. (I can be fishing by the Adventurer's Guild, and will hear Sebastian walking home.) Also singleplayer.
And, the traveling merchant happens to be out of stock quite often. At first, in spring, it was alright, they had stuff as usual, but now in the summer, they are out of stock any time I speak to them. Also singleplayer.

 

Lag for the farmhand when the host goes down ladders and holes

Farmhand bombs don't explode while host is having the fishing minigame open. Or the upgrade farmbuilding scene. Work around atm is the host waiting with fishing till farmhand has exploded a bomb.

Beta patch 1.3.9

Windows 10 Pro

Also game crashed out of nowhere

 

My hubs hosts the farm, and I join via invite code. Standard NPC animations incomplete: Willy doesn't fish, Sam doesn't skateboard, they just stand there. On hubs screen, all behave normally.
Also, hubs planted trees (maple, pine, not fruit) and I could not see them at all for several days in game till I exited and reentered game 2x.

 

I found a couple bugs:

1.) Gifts not resetting for the week. Still says that I gave 1-2 gifts this week - although that was last week.

2.) Travelling merchant is always out of stock.

Windows 10

Beta 1.3.9

 

More details regarding treasure chests not appearing every 10 levels in the mine:

This has happened on two of my four single-player games using the Beta.

My first game played fine. I took my character down to level 90 in the mines. It's notable that all three of my subsequent single-player games have included mine data in the save file down to level 90 (but not beyond) right from world creation. The data of the second and third game is identical to the first, suggesting it has been copied across on world creation, rather than starting fresh.

My second single-player game played fine until I entered the mine on day 5. There were no barrels or chests where they normally are on levels 3 or 9 of the mines. Level 10 had no chest. I exited at that point. When I looked at the save file, I found that it stated <chestsLeft>0</chestsLeft> for every multiple of 10 up to 90, but had a 1 for this value on all other levels (such as level 5). <platformContainersLeft> was 0 for most levels, but was 11 for level 19, 10 for level 24 and 13 for level 29. <coalCartsLeft> was 0 for levels 12 and 18 and for some later levels. When I tested by going to level 12 on Sat 6th, I found the coal cart already empty. I have not played to level 19 to confirm it has barrels, or to confirm the missing coal on 18.

The next game I started has the same issues in the save file - right down to the same missing coal carts and the same numbers of platform containers at the same levels. I did not play it past day 2, when I thought to check the file to stop myself wasting time.

My fourth single-player game seemed ok on initial inspection of the save file - the chests showed as there - but the numbers of platform containers are still identical. I think it has copied an edited version of the save file of my second game, where I put the chests back in to test out what was going on. Launching the fourth game was the next thing I did after playing the edited game.

I then tried removing the previous save files from my appdata folder and starting a fifth game. Its mine data in the save file is nonetheless a copy of the state in which I left the previous game I was playing.

I'm now going to try playing a day of an old save that I left on spring 1, to see what happens if I start a new game after that...

EDIT: No luck! Still showing the same broken mine data when starting a new game after playing a day of an old save that hadn't entered the mine.

EDIT: But turning my computer off and on again fixed it - I was able to start a new save with fresh mine data. I guess something is being held in memory and used inappropriately when a new game is created.

 

I just wanted to echo that I've had all of these bugs as well, and really hope they get fixed soon. I'm loving the game so far, and know the devs are hard at work!

 

@mousiechika The bachelors being at 8 hearts again is actually a feature, not a bug, if you had given all of them bouquets. Go to the saloon or Emily's house and you'll see what I mean, lol. They know if you date them all, now.

 

This happens to our host (but not farmhands) if we save and exit the game and then re-launch it on a Friday or a Sunday morning... even though the host hasn't done any actions on that morning, they get "OUT OF STOCK" on the cart all the same.

 

It's always kind of bothered me that Clint will still let you know about upgrading your tools even when you've gotten to Iridium, and now that Penny and Pam get an upgrade I feel similarly. Penny will still refer to the trailer as if they live in it, and it would be nice if that was changed to reflect the progress in the game. Also during the Feast of the Winter Star the cut-scene shows the trailer even if you've upgraded them to a house.

Also,

• the horse glitches out every once in a while and it's moving animation is either nil or backwards.

• the Floor TV doesn't work in stone the farmhand cabin but the Budget TV and the Plasma TV do.

 

Crashed on Year 1, 23 Spring on Co-op with one other over LAN just as we went to sleep.

 

When playing the multiplayer and entering the Skull Cavern. If we are both going it together, when one of us finds a shift to drop down, the other would only see stairs. This puts us on different levels for the rest of the mine. It makes it unenjoyable to be unable to do the mine together. This has happened numerous times. Regardless of who finds the shaft (hosting or joining). We have only played with two people at a time, so I don't know if it shows up on other screens as stairs as well.

Also. I have noticed that being the joining party, npcs and monsters don't behave normally. When trying to talk to an npc or give them gifts. They don't fully stop as they do in a normal game. They keep going for a bit and then stop. And slimes seem to not jump compared to the base game anymore. They just wiggle around and that's it.

 

We've had 2 crashes today. I didn't think to grab the save file after the first one, but I'll attach both crash logs and the save file. The first crash was after I'd borrowed a pickaxe from an unused farmhand house and it crashed as I tried to return the pickaxe. The second I don't know what triggered it, but attaching the save file. I'd just added a couple things to the pantry section of the community center and walking across the community center while my farmhand was in the mines.

The other thing worth reporting: I placed a chest next to Robin's house to put materials for building/upgrading buildings. It has disappeared twice. (the first time I wasn't certain if I had placed it the day of the crash, so I placed it again. This time I know it just disappeared along with two stacks of stone)

(doesn't let me attach the save files directly so I zipped them)

 

Has the Travelling Merchant being out of stock been addressed? Because that's happened on my Single Player save in Winter of Year one and my multiplayer save in Summer of year one.

 

EDIT: What did work was turning my computer off and on again then starting a new game. I guess something is being held in memory whilst the game is running and then used inappropriately when a new game is created.

 

this morning emily (my wife) was nowhere to be found. finally saw her glitched into the chicken coop, and i could talk to her by standing just outside it. she gave me the dialogue about spending time with her parrot. hopefully she unglitches, hehe

 

If you reach one of the mine levels which have a chest, and not take the item. Next time you try to open the chest it vanishes.
