Stardew Valley Multiplayer Beta: Known Issues & Fixes

Found a bug:

I was looking through my chest and i found some stuff that said it needed to be given to Gunther for more info. So i went to the museum but the moment i walked in the museum the info for my gems appeared and i couldn't donate it (My friend already donated it). But then the second i walk out the museum it tells me to give it to Gunther again! and it keeps doing that over and over.

 

I've had a problem where whenever the host leveled up, my game would crash. Also, if you stay in the saloon and play one of the games all day up to 2 am, it just has you close the minigame. You can't move, only open the minigame again. Then, after about 30 seconds, you get kicked out and get sent to a broken Stardew Valley menu with no options to pick from, and you still get the audio from the minigame.

 

Loving the Multiplayer so far! The only thing's I've run into so far that I want to mention is,

Duping items. Not sure what causes it, maybe if there's even a little bit of lag or desync when dropping an item, we accidentally duped a steel sword and 70 potato seeds by dropping them on the ground for the other to pick up and somehow we both picked them up.

The other one, that kind of hit me was when completing the Mines, when you get the stardrop, it said it increased my energy and then all 3 of our screens went pitch black, no audio, no nothing. I closed my game ( not the one hosting ) and both of the others games resumed like normal, just went back to the game screen. I logged back into the game and I walked out of my house and had a letter saying I died and was charged. We also didn't get the energy increase from the Stardrop and when you go back to the bottom floor, there's nothing there to try and claim it again.

Haven't received any other Stardrops yet, so can't test if it's with stardrops or just that one, or just a bug we encountered.

 

1. Horse glitch when transitioning screens: my character will dismount on its own every time
I go from one location to the next and get on again.


2. Sound FX glitch in loading screen: Every time I load the game
for the day, the "light fireplace/torch" sound FX plays for no reason.


3. Pam's House reverts to the trailer during Festivals: this was during the Egg Festival after I had built her the house.


4. Small Glitch in the Women Spa mirror:

 

_ Water for the pet is not shared, only player who put water in the pet bowl can see it
- when updating cabins, robin isn't there and there are no hammering noises
- music cuts out all the time, new song doesn't cue up
- no blue chickens after shane's 8 heart event. Host has the 8 hearts, saw the event, tried buying/hatching 15 chickens, none were blue

 

Hi there.
I have been playing the game for about 2 weeks now. Im playing co-op with my boyfriend (he is hosting)
We are on our 2nd year (Summer) at the moment.

the past couple days i been noticing this problem as well:
(Need More Details) Player clocks become desynced

But its not just that. We have those boxes where we put stuff from the farm milk etc. and it seems like everytime i try to open those, the clock starts getting unsynched. i can gather stuff normally, talk to the characters in game, milk animals and cut wood etc. I just have somewhat long loading screens when i enter the Greenhouse or any outside area of the farm.
When it starts to desynch sometimes im already chopping wood for 1min and i hear the box opening and closing that i clicked 1 minute ago.
It also doesnt work if we both go to bed at the same time and it always exhausts us at 2am because of that.

I feel the problem has become worse the farther we progressed in the game. A few days ago it was only once a (RL) day but today i couldnt open the boxes all day without bugging right away.

** On a sidenote
One day all of the sudden my horse copied itself and i had 2 horses that i could ride? We put it out of the farm and left it there to make it go away and it dissapeared at some point. Also my Horse (im not the host) bugs like 50% of the time when i ride it - where i can basically go through walls and crops and everything.

We really tried restarting steam, restarting the internet, the game etc. nothing works.
Please fix it because i cant play like this :/ - hope i could help a bit.

Thx.

 

With me hosting. Lan.

Experienced a second crash on maru's birthday. This time on my husband's end. I didnt get the files but we had a heck of a time getting past that day.

We also discovered if he places a bomb and i am fishing, it wont explode til the fish on hook instance is over.

 

I have the same issue, playing on a save file where I earned the four-candle evaluation pre-beta. Didn't notice the flames were gone until I'd been playing the beta for a few days, as I had a bunch of trees in front of the shrine. I'm on macOS 10.12.6 (Sierra), no mods (ever). ETA: I have not used the multiplayer features yet.

 

Chat Emoji menu is inaccessible while paused. You can also send an empty message, not sure if that's just a feature.

 

had a crash middle of the desert mines

 

Issue doing the fishing game at the Fair. 2 Mouse cursors appear, character unable to move, timer shortly jumps to 0 and then game freezes. First year for me, single player.

 

Definitely some sales discrepancies and errors.

 

My wife and I have run into a few. I'm hosting, just the two of us.

1. When I'm fishing, and she enters the screen, I'm usually in a different location on her screen. Example, pond below the farm, with the docks. I'm fishing to the right of the docks, she approaches this screen from the farm, and sees me, standing as though I just approached with her, and my fishing line is insanely long. After I reel and recast, my sprite super speeds to where it should be. Everything is fine on my screen.

2. Copper pail, when watering, my Wife will charge up and water. Afterwords, on my screen, she will then be sliding around the screen, holding the pail as though she is still charging it. Haven't figured out the exact cause.

3. Duplicate picks. Mayor Louis sent us our Pickaxe that we lost. Spoilers, we didn't actually lose one.

4. There are a few patches of ground that, for whatever reason, either didn't grow (one of our early game parsnips) or that my Wife could not see/water (she knew from my screen that potatoes were there, when she watered them nothing happened.) I can't really explain why these happened, though, and have little knowledge on how to recreate the issues. Planted a new crop after I harvested that one fixed the problem.

5. My wife has noticed a huge drop increase from crates in the mine. It seems the animation for destroying the crates happens twice in quick succession, and she gets substantially more goods than she used to. While we're not complaining about the extra cash, it seemed worth mentioning.

No other bugs to report presently, though we do request that all Stardrops be shared (or at least one available for each farmer.) Had read this wasn't presently the case. We're still in spring though, so our information could be wrong. Loving the Multiplayer so far, we'll report more bugs when we find them.

 

1. The Summer potluck is not completed when a farmhand puts an item into the soup. I am not sure if this is a feature or a bug. (Perhaps all players need to put an item?)

2. When a player borrows a tool from another player via chests, the mayor sends a copy of that item to the original owner the next day. While this may be working as intended, it does allow players to exploit by creating copies of high level tools.

 

I am the host and I do not have the fishing talent where fish sell for more. On the EOD screen, it says two rainbow trout sell for 130. However, my farmhand, who does have the fishing talent where fish sell for more, shows two rainbow trout sell for 162.

I am not sure which amount is actually added to our wallet

 

About the "Treasure chests not appearing every 10 levels in mines" well it seems like only the first player that opens and gets the item from a chest I don't know if they leave it would stay I think I should but no one else gets the item and the chest disappears if someone tries to open it again or if the same one that got the item didn't make it disappear! This isn't going to be fun with the Stardrops only 1 in each location for 1 player I think?

And how will the Galaxy Sword from the desert work? Will there be only 1 for the first player that gets it? Then others will have to buy one? And the cost of stuff like bags 2k/10k each for 2-4 players each is a lot the same with upgrading tools it is going to cost a lot. 2k, 5k, 10k and more each for each player I know it should be possible to make more money but still this seems a bit much at least when first starting out.

This below happen to me on single player
The next day's weather changed after I exit and restarted later!

 

Saying that the traveling cart is out of stock after the other person on my server only brought a rare seed and the wedding ring
screenshot attached

 

Journals not updating for other players on server either, they have no journal missions other than introductions and it doesn't update at all

 

Hey again!

-Farmhand's Fridges keep deleting their inventory. Host Fridge seems fine though! So we all just collude our goodies there, for now.
-No blue chickens. ),:
-In year 2 During summer and finally got around to void chickens but we couldn't move our normal chickens from our two coops (No, they are not full.) They're 2nd tier.
-a 10hrt event took priority over giving a farmhand their egg for the slime-hutch, not vital just 'inconvenient' . They never received the slime-egg afterwards.
-Whenever a farmhand interacts with the goats, the host hears the goats bleating regardless of where he's at.

and the big sad bug

Host chose Jojomart over the Community Center before farmhands could access the book to meet the Wizard. Now the Farmhands can't even talk to the Wizard at all even though the farmands have quests to turn stuff into him.

 

Additional bugs found today:

1. If you give another player your watering can (put it in a chest and they take it), the mayor writes you a letter stating that he put your tools by your bed, and your watering can will be in your inventory. But the other player will still have your watering can. Infinite watering cans... (Have not tested with other tools.)
2. Female player asks female player to dance at the flower dance, and it's accepted... But we're both shown standing on the sidelines during the dance.
