Stardew Valley Multiplayer Beta: Known Issues & Fixes

I entered Pierre's shop in my friend's server and the Joja Mart advertisement cut scene happened. When the cut scene began it also started for my friend, and when he skipped the cut scene he was teleported into Pierre's shop when he was just in the mines before getting the cut scene? As far as I know this has happened for the Linus cut scene too. Any cut scene triggered seems to teleport all players to that location regardless of what they're doing or where they are.

 

That's because it uses a different map for the three days of the Night Market. You'll find your crab pots, and any other placed objects, will vanish during those three days, and then will just as mysteriously reappear after they are gone.

Also, as a result of this, the only thing you can fish up while the night market is present is trash objects.

 

Had an issue in multiplayer when I took someone else's tools out of a chest and kept them in my inventory overnight they got given a set by the mayor the next morning.

Another was when player 2 placed a cherry bomb in the mine and ran away from it, it vanished without exploding when it left the screen before the explosion was meant to take place.

 

Mail always seems to be delayed for farmhands. I joined a friend's server and they almost always received mail a day earlier than I would get them. I don't think this happens for every single mail sent to the mailbox, for example it didn't happen when people sent you gifts such as your mother or father sending cookies or 500G, but I do remember it happening for the hat mouse's arrival.

Another related incident I had in the same server was not being able to get the fiberglass fishing rod mail availability, even though my friend got it way earlier and purchased it way before I had even gotten the mail for it. This might be just on my part though, since I hadn't actually fished a lot until the day before I got Willy's mail for it, when I fished for the entire day.

 

-Gift counter does not reset each week (cannot give more than two gifts, even after a full week has passed)
-Multiplayer branch will sometimes cause items in farmhand's game to break twice. I have seen it with crates/barrels, some rocks and stumps, and when cutting fibrous plants
-Multiplayer branch farmhands can place bombs and run out of blast range. Once the player leaves the blast range, the bomb will disappear while still playing the bomb sound effect. When the player re-enters the area, the bomb will explode.

 

I'm having the same issue. I removed all the mods (i had just ui info suite installed) and SMAPI but the game still freezes when trying to play the fishing game in the fair.

 

I'm on the latest patch (1.3.9) and playing with SMAPI 2.6-beta.8. This was during solo play.

Just encountered a character animation glitch during the winter Festival of Ice. Fishing tournament started, I went to cast my first line, the animation showed the fishing line going out but then it glitched with the character sprite in the cast position AND standing normally. (See image below)

I could type in chat, but I couldn't bring up any menus or click out. The timer on the competition kept going down so I let it go to see if it'd fix itself once the competition ended. Sure enough- everything was fine after, I just froze for the time of the competition. I went and double checked after the festival cutscene ended, ordinary fishing had no problems so I'm guessing it's just something to do with the event.

 

Hello !
When I upgraded my cabin, one of my chest and a furnace just disappeared. This is a real problem, I didn't see anybody talking about this problem so I hope that it will help the beta. c:

EDIT : The kitchen floor isn't different of the rest of the room. Plus, the amelioration of the host house don't have any problems ! I think that is only the cabins which have bugs.

 

Sometimes when you put truffle oil for sale in the box it doesn't count for getting money in the end of the day.

 

Clint is a thief!!
As a farmhand, I also want to upgrade my tools. So as one would do, I took my tools to Clint along with 5 copper and 2000 gold. The first time this worked as designed, my wife and I both got our upgraded pickaxes like normal. Later, we decide to upgrade to the steel pick axe, so I take my 5 iron bars and 5000 gold, 2 days later I go to talk to Clint, and it's a regular dialog box. No mention of my pick axe at all, it's as if I never took my pick axe to him! kiss that now 7000 gold, 5 copper bars, and 5 iron bars goodbye forever! early on in the game these are precious resources, so it's a huge hit to productivity to have the tool, money, and materials all just gone!
Thankfully(?) the game is also magically giving me new pick axes. If I have my pick axe at Clint's, or in a chest, there is a chance that I'll wake up the next morning with a new pick axe dropping by my bed and immediately going into my inventory. I'm not sure if this is the cause to Clint stealing my upgraded pick axe or not. I also happen to have an extra watering can, I went to sleep with my watering can in a chest, woke up to a new one appearing at my bed and going into my inventory. I'm afraid to go to Clint myself to upgrade any tools, for fear that he'll steal those too; So my wife has to do it every time, which can be frustrating having to constantly remember to go see Clint every few days...

 

i have some ideas how the bug with the desynched times comes up. Everytime when my friend or i chopped trees when we were on the same map or one of us killed monsters on the map somehow my game ( im not the host) got behind the state of game of my friend (host). So i think it has something to do when there are dropping items or so. it didnt happen when we harvested crops like blueberries so its a bit strange. we tried to fix it by pausing the game so my game could try to sync up with my friend. The problem is when the times are desynced and we go to bed it will end in a blackscreen. we could fix it when i immediatley go to bed after pausing but thats very annoying. i hope this will help to fix the bug, i dont know whats the problem but we think it has to do with chopping trees or killing animals on the same map.

also we had a problem during storm (dont know if this is a necessary information^^). My friend smelted iron and after it was done no item was there to collect and in my game the whole furnance was gone

Something different that is a bit annoying is the fact that the game doesnt pause when you play journey of the prairie king. You can enter the pub first at 12 but its impossible to play through the whole game until 2am. Another thing that would be cool to play this game in coop. then it would be possible to pause the time outside of the arcade machine.

A big problem also is that my perks after level 5 or 10 dont count. for example in farming after level 5 you can choose between 10% on harvested good or 20% on animal goods. I chose the 10% and my friend the 20% so we could use both. (He is the host). but when i sold our harvested goods we didnt got the 10% on those goods. in my game in the statistics it shows me that but then in the morning we just get the normal amount. We tried everything, i planted, watered, harvested and sold the goods alone but only the perks of the host seem to count.

Then i had a problem with cutscenes. im playing with a ps4 controller with a special software so it gets recognized better and everything works fine but in my cutscenes there is no option to skip it not even with my mouse.

something strange happened with upgrading the watering can. i upgraded my watering can, my friend watered the crops and then put it into a chest so i could use his to water the rest of the crops too. on the next day he got a new one as if he had lost his one and now we have 3 watering canes, his normal, his new and my upgraded one.

when one player is building something youre on this screen where you can choose the position of the building you want to build. you can see what happens on the farm in real time but only the texture of the other character moving around isnt there. the strange thing is you can see the shadow of the other players. it would be cool to see the other player in the screnn so he can give you instructions on how to set the building.

when one player has a cutscene (like getting the pole or someone is at the door) arent shared. Thats not the problem, it is that you cant see the other player then while he is in the cutscene. the player in the cutscene can see the other player so thats a bit strange.

 

Found an interesting bug with a friend! We unlocked the Junimo Harvesters from the Wizard Tower, however everyday whenever they come out to help us harvest, they immediately are disconnected in the morning, and they cannot RECONNECT to the game at all until they disappear entirely from the farm for the day. On days where they don't show up, they are able to play for a little while. However, if they show up at all, they just can't play otherwise. It's very disappointing, if you can fix it soon, I'm sure we and others encountering this would appreciate it! Thank you!

The attached image is the crash log they have from when it occurs.

I have noticed in my single player game, that when I pick up the eggs in the coop, there's a slight 'flickering' with them with my character's animation picking them up.

 

• Horses keep duplicating. I've had 6 horses at once for 2 people.
• The other person's sounds can be heard on someone else's screen. If I'm in the cave and he's in the farm, I hear cows moo etc, he sometimes hear's cave music. Doesn't matter who's hosting.
• If I upgrade my tool on the same day as he does and we both go to pick up, one of our tools will not be available and will no longer be in the game.
• Other player's house can not be upgraded into a basement.
• I'm always hosting. If he plants trees (spa area as an example) the game will act as if he did not plant a seed and it will take the seed and not grow the tree.
• We went through the entire mines. There were only chests available for one person even if we both did it together.
• When in the mines together, latters or holes will not exist for me at times and at him for times. I'll go down another floor and he won't be able to until he finds a new latter.

 

These are my mods.

 

I don't know if this issue has been solved, but at the start of my day my spouse (Emily) had completed the normal daily routine (watered crops, have water to the cat) but she has clipped into the upper portion of the bat/mushroom cave. Didn't cause a crash, so I don't have an error log, but I do have a picture.

 

Version: 1.3.9
Mode: Co-Op, 2 players.
What Happened: Was quite an odd circumstance, actually. The Host arrived into town, and recieved the first cutscene for the Community Center in the First Spring (event signature "611439/j"). During this time, the Farmhand player was in the Museum, in the middle of donating items. The Host skipped the cutscene, and after the Farmhand player hit OK, her game crashed(log attached).

This is a clip from Twitch from the view of the Farmhand. The crash occurred at the end of the clip, when she pressed OK.

May be unrelated but after the crash occurred, the Farmhand player tried to re-join the Host, but was unable to do so.

EDIT: After my own review of the clip, if I had to guess, this would be my analysis:
The crash occurred because the Farmhand(Kori) was in the Museum, and she moved the Dwarven Helmet item to a new location, which the Host(Zimzorz) had already previously donated. This caused the game to think that she donated it, after she placed it in its new spot. The message in the error log is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.", so I am guessing the reference was for the instance of the Dwarven Helmet that the Host donated, but now no longer existed. As a result, it crashed. So I don't think the crash had anything to do with the event for the Community Center that the Host had triggered.

 

Every time I join the hosts server, all my crafting recipes are gone except for the ones you start with. Even when I gain levels and get new recipes every time I log off and get on again they are gone up until I go to sleep. Then, the next day they come back but the same thing happens again if I log off and on again. I hope this helps and is not too confusing..

 

Crash on farm fariy blessing wheat, ended up getting host stuck waiting for all the crashed players
slime hutch slimes not only clipping through fences when mating, BUT CLIPPING THROUGH MAP WALLS
Friend trying to milk a cow that was already milked in the day was giving message to all players, even in the skull caves (screenshot)

 

Been reported before but there is a bug with the community centre, which is just mostly inconvenient. When accessing the bundle tab not as the host, I cannot scroll through the various bundles and pages, and can only access the spring foraging bundle. However, when entering the centre, I am able to access all pages and bundles. Makes it just a bit inconvenient to try to work on the centre as someone that isn't hosting!
