Stardew Valley Multiplayer Beta: Known Issues & Fixes

Game crashed when I tried to access the fishing tent at the fair. I entered, and the screen loaded, but my character was unresponsive to walk keys. When I clicked to attempt to cast, my character displayed one frame of the casting animation, the gauge appeared, and then it just stuck. The timer kept counting down, but nothing happened when it reached zero.

 

I've encountered a strange bug with the cutscenes. I was processing geodes while my friend was doing the Joja cutscene in Pierre's shop and I saw the scene playing out in the background. When I finished processing the geodes I was in Pierre's store, not the blacksmith. (Picture included.)

I also had a small visual bug with the mushrooms in our cave. After collecting them all, there was a box that still showed mushrooms despite not having any. (Picture included.)

I've also had troubles with slimes clipping through the walls in the mines. (Picture included.)

I'm also experiencing a bug with the adventurer's guild. My friend and I have both completed the "initiation" quest, but she (the host) is the only one that can enter the guild. It still has the note on the door saying I can't enter because I haven't proven myself.

Finally the museum items aren't very good at updating what Gunther has and hasn't seen. I've donated several items to Gunther myself, and the spares of those items I have still tell me to talk to Gunther to find out more.

 

So I have a bug going with a co-op game with a friend, and the friend is hosting, and I am joining/co-oping. It happens very, very frequently too. I'll connect and be in game for anyone where from several seconds to a few minutes at most, before it crashed and kicks me from the entire game. Not sure what is going on. Error log provided.

 

My friends and also have experienced the issue that Lyssie mentioned. I have had it happen both in multiplayer and in my single player save. We had to restart the day every time it happened, which made the fair very hard to deal with.

 

I'm getting a bug that actually affects my main game and not co-op, after installing the beta I have this bug in my main game where I can't give gifts to specific characters anymore. It'll usually say I've already given a character a gift that day, but I haven't given them a gift in weeks (stardew valley time). Harvey specifically, I was romancing him and his gift boxes are already checked off when I haven't given him anything since installing the beta.

 

When I loaded up my game up this happened my spouse

 

My game freezes when I enter the fishing game in the Stardew Valley Festival. It shows the game with the character and at first the timer went down but I couldn't move then it switched to saying 0:00 and everything froze. I had to force the game closed. This was in single player.

 

yeah. i had this one too.

i don't know if this is also a bug but the spinning wheel in stardew fair ALWAYS lands on green. it never lands on orange slil

 

Good morning/good night (it's 7am, so g'morning it is^^)

It's awesome how many of the bugs have been fixed in such short among of time.

Sadly the only LAN-option-problem doesn't seem to be vanished on my laptop.
Like earlier said, I own a PC and a Laptop.
While on the PC the co-op save is running pretty smoothly, only the LAN option pops up on the laptop.
I even tried this walkaround again, wouldn't work.

Hope you'll find out what causes this problem

have a nice day

 

1) Not sure if this is a bug, but when the host player initiates certain cut scenes, I (a joined/farm hand player) will be teleported to wherever the scene takes place. This seems to be happening randomly, not for all the host player's cut scenes. One of the scenes this happened for was when the host player entered the community center for the first time. Another instance was when the Joja manager came to Pierre's shop.

2) As a joined/farm-hand player, I can contribute items to the community center bundles, but I cannot track them using the button in my inventory when I'm away from the community center. I can only view the Craft Room bundles, and they all appear un-started/unopened.

3) Items donated to Gunther at the museum do not update their descriptions. (Previously they would start as something like "Gunther can tell you more about this if you donate it to the museum," and then update to the actual item details when you found the same item again later in the game. Now they do not update.)

4) I received the Level 7 Fishing screen 3 or 4 separate nights before eventually progressing to Level 8 Fishing. This was the only level I got stuck on. I had been playing a pretty long session of time, probably at least a few hours, and I progressed to Level 8 Fishing after taking a break (leaving the host's server and also exiting the game completely).

 

I've got an interesting thing this time which might or might not be a bug.

In multiplayer, everyone sees different profit numbers depending on their own individual stats. In a game I was playing earlier tonight, a farmhand of mine had Farming 8 and Tiller and was seeing different farming profit numbers than I was seeing as the host. Similarly, that same farmhand saw different profit numbers for my fishing than I was seeing since I'm at Fishing 7 with Fisher and he's not.

The weird thing is that no one is quite sure which stats are actually being taken into account when the farm's final profits are calculated for the day.

 

The spinning wheel has a really high chance of being green (75%) vs orange (25%), just a feature.

 

I think I might of figured out one of the causes for players clocks to de-sync. When I was playing as a farm-hand my internet connection was very slow and resulted in very long (several minute) loading screens. In game my clock said I had missed around 30 minutes during that loading screen, according to the host's clock I had missed 3-4 hours. To add to the weirdness when 2:00 am hit for me nothing happened. My clock was at a standstill and I was free to do as I pleased without passing out. Eventually I made my way back to my cabin, but when I went to bed it still said I was waiting on another player (the host) to go to bed. The host was in bed and had been for several irl minutes. In the end I had to exhaust myself into passing out in order to start a new day.

This has only happened in the mines when moving between floors.

 

very minor bug-- On Summer day 12 (single-player), weather report predicts a sunny day tomorrow, yet the forecaster's icon shows a thunderstorm.

Edit: and now, when I re-watch the broadcast (same day), the icon is thunderstorm and he predicts a thunderstorm. Meh.

Edit 2: And for the record, it did indeed storm the next day. In case it matters.

 

Hello friends of virtual farming!

I have a bug/problem similar to the "Only LAN option available at join screen" bug that has been fixed. We are trying to get a PC and a MAC to play together, but the mac has none of the normal multiplayer network options available, such as invitation codes or similar. Thus we have been unable to join each others game. The normal fix doesn't work as the redistribution package is for PC and not MAC, so we don't really know what to do. Our platform is steam btw.
Has anybody had this problem before and found a solution?

Thanks!

 

Hope this hasn't been posted again, but when I enter the secret woods with maple syrup and trigger the bear cutscene while on the horse, the game crashes. I guess it has to do with the fact that you speak with the bear while on foot and the game can't process leaving the horse. I dont know, I just know I lost a day and it should be looked into

 

Amazing update! Very awesome how stable and nicely it all works already. Just wanted to share some of the things my friends and I encountered while playing:
- Recycling machine and furnace seemingly processing endlessly. We had to remove the machine and place it again to get it working again. We are not sure whether anyone put something in the machine/furnace or whether it started processing by itself. The furnace moves as if it is doing something, but the inside is not lit up.
- Community center advancement only visible through the menu button by the host player. The farmhands normally only see the Crafts Room with five incomplete bundles. When the farmhands enter the community center, however, they can accurately call up the current progress via the menu.
- Player in the mine sometimes sees particle effects when other players are working on the farm (especially grass being cut down). The host noticed this, but the farm hands haven't played enough in the mine yet to be sure they'd encounter the same thing.
- When cutting down grass with a sickle, all players get the notification that hay has been collected instead of just the character cutting the grass.

We had one crash at the profit screen, but I don't have access to the save file to share.

Anyway, great to see how many bugs have already been fixed. I think Stardew Valley is an amazing game and it's even more fun now that we can play it together with friends.

 

I have a problem with a friend mating with emily in the hidden forest animation. When we go to sleep he gets a black screen after the animation, and it gives us a 2/3 sleeping state, he doesn't count as being slept, and the day won't pass
EDIT: My friend logged out when he got the black screen and all was saved. Temporarily this can be solved by doing that, but this didn't save the event as done

 

a few small issues:
1. still can't move buildings on the farm.
2. clients can't update community center lists even by going and checking them at the center.

 

1. The inventory menu where you can view the community center without having to physically go and look at what you need is only updated and viewable by the host.
2. Museum artifacts and minerals only shows updated tooltips for host. So other players can't tell what needs to be donated without wasting a trip to the museum.
3. Using your tool to dig up acorns, pine cones, and maple seeds only breaks the seed instead of pops it up. Still works on my old single player game.
4. Certain cinematic events will pull all players to the location of the event.
5. Hearing your farm animals and other players chopping down trees, and such from everywhere.
6. When someone tries to milk a cow or goat that has no milk. The message pops up on other players screens too, stopping them from what they were doing.
7. Desync when we play with a full party my husband and I will desync if the other hosts the game. So I will desync if he hosts. IP conflicts? Since we live in the same house. For us its only him or I no one else seems to get desynced. Sometimes laying in the cabin bed will speed up time like it's trying to catch up. But not always will that work. Causes long loading screens, duplicated items, and long wait for chests to open (sometimes opening up from far away lol). When there are only 3 players we don't experience the desync. Can it not handle the information packets for that many players? It doesn't seem to matter in what order we log in or cabin since its always him or I depending on who hosts. I haven't tried another hosting for us to see who desync's. 3 of the players are LAN but only him and I share home group. Not sure if that is useful.
