Stardew Valley Multiplayer Beta: Known Issues & Fixes

seems it worked! although i put it inside one of the alternate houses since i never use them (boyfriend hosts the game and we share the main house) and when i went inside of it at night it completely froze my game for about 5 minutes without crashing and i just ended up closing it manually.

also just now encountering another worrying possibility.. as the player who's joined the host, I purchased a house upgrade intending it to be for the main house for reason listed above and Robin isn't to be seen (this was probably a massive oversight by both of us that the host should have bought the house upgrade)... Will update this post the day it's supposed to be complete.

edit\ well, the upgrade worked, but it was applied to the secondary house instead of the main one as I (who joined a host) was the one who purchased it. No outside visual changes but the inside an upgraded home!

guess we'll move in to the second one

 

I'm playing on LAN and can confirm these three bugs. We are 2 playing.
1. I am the client and when I'm in the caves and the host is in the farm she can see while I use my sword how i cut the grass in the farm, and sometimes the grass drops in the caves for me to pick.
2. Also when a fly appears while i'm in the cave she also get the fly sound wherever she is, when I kill the fly the sounds stop for me but not for her (the host) until she change her location on the map.
3. Also she had a crash when entering a building.

I'd attach the save and crash reports.

 

This was probably said before, but I think the lag spike is caused by recycling newspapers, at least that's what I saw from my co-op experience.

 

A couple of things I noticed in ~14 days of gameplay that might be bugs (single-player only):

• Animal products no longer drop in highest (Iridium) quality. I have had a relatively high amount of Iridium milk, egg, wool, duck feathers, etc. stocked. For 14 days I have been getting only up to Gold quality animal products.
• Trees no longer drop fruit of any quality - or their age has been reset with the Beta update. I've had a Year 5 farm with Silver/Gold quality fruit and after the update they started spawning with no quality stars again.
• The game has an awkward performance lag/tearing issue now whenever the player is in a large map. It's not an FPS issue per se, since Steam overlay claims it's still 55-60 for me.
• The period of the black screen directly after ending the day by going to sleep lasts way longer now. Before the update it was barely notice-able.
• The new furniture items are often not included in the Furniture Catalogue (such as the Stove Fireplace) - possibly intentional?
• Wallpapers and Floorings inside every shed have been removed. They can be re-applied safely.
• Wallpapers inside of the player home's main rooms (bottom floor) have been removed and cannot be re-applied.
• Something very strange happens when you right click on the Furniture Catalogue with any Wallpaper selected and equipped -
• While riding it, the horse briefly disappears when transitioning between zones (due to wearing hat?)
• Interacting with the Auto-Grabber while in the walking animation will have the player stuck in the walking animation inside the Auto Grabber's inventory

 

Hi, I wanted to comment to relay some information regarding the evening frame drop bug.

I am getting this issue as well, and so were the other two people in my game.

We tried moving all our crafting stations (which included one recycling machine and three furnaces) into a cabin, but this didn't solve the problem either.

After the other two had quit, I tried to fix the issue myself by completely deleting (picking up and trashing) all those aforementioned crafting stations and waiting on the farm until night to see if it persisted. I didn't get any framedrops by myself with no furnaces/recycling machines anywhere on the farm or its buildings. I haven't gotten to test this while others were actually still logged into the game I was hosting. Somebody pointed out that this didn't start until after we had built/finished building our first Barn towards the end of spring, for whatever that observation might be worth.

I also have (Or, had? You might have fixed this in the latest update since I haven't gotten to play since) an issue where I can hear other people's noises from their screens. For example, I, as the Host, will be on the farm tending to the crops, while the other Player is in the mines and fighting flying bug enemies. I'll hear the buzzing noises the bugs make while the other player is fighting them in the mines and it will continue until I load into another map.

 

Hey,

So me and my friend started playing this. it was all fine. till summer started, when we were done with the game for the day we closed like always. nothing unusual. But when i tried to connect the next day my game crashes before it can even load in the world. with the message: Stardew valley has stopped working

 

Not related to multiplayer, but the value of crops/other objects do not seem to scale with the profit margins. I'm playing at 25% currently, and I see the original values in the menu.

 

I've crashed twice when fighting monsters in the caves. Not just flying ones, slimes as well. It seems to be a universal issue as it has happened in both solo and co-op. I have a screenshot of my crash screen if required.

 

Just some minor bugs:

1. I'm having the "Wallpaper disappeared, not applyable" in the room next to the nursery, but it's a small panel of the wall:


2. Both the kids and the horse are showing speech bubbles that don't say anything:


3. Whenever I go from one screen to the next (ex: from the Mountain into town), in the time it takes to load, my character will dismount from the horse and then get back on again once the screen loads.

(This is the character getting off the horse as the screen changes/the horse is already on the other side where my character will get on again on its own.)

 

Exactly the same issue with me.

 

had a issue in mp where i was playing the prairie king and my friend passed out. It teleported me back to my cabin and the prairie king music was still playing and overlapping the normal music. I tried reloging and it was still there but it was fixed after host closed and reopened the save file

 

Hi there, my brother and I have been playing the multiplayer beta and we noticed a glitch when saving/passing out.
We were both planting strawberries at 1:50am and I managed to make it to the bed in time for the screen to say waiting for players 1/2.
Then he said he didn't make it to the bed in time before 2:00am and we both passed out from exhaustion and the screen just went black until he exited his game. The game then saved properly and loaded the next day.

I don't know if this is intended or a glitch or not, but it was strange and the screen didn't seem to intend to load anything until my brother exited his game.

 

This did work, thank you person who suggested this!

Make sure it's the one he linked, I had a different version and it didn't work and I had to reinstall it.

 

must reply to this now actually, upon upgrading the second house, the host entered it at 1:40am the evening it was completed, and his game is completely frozen. not crashing, but completely frozen. upon waiting for a bit, the indoor view screen did load for him but was frozen again, then after a while his time switched from 1:40 to 1:50. both of our games are now frozen.

important note: there is NOT a recycling machine inside our house. unfortunately we had both achieved a TON today so looks like we've lost our progress again (the recycling machine bug has forced me to close my game 4 days in a row resulting in losing a lot of fishing xp, the 4th time being mostly my own fault testing the bug)

i've closed my game (i connected to host) and nothing has changed for him

 

Sometimes the items in my shipping box don't get taken overnight. The screen showing me what I've sold doesn't appear and I don't get any money. This has happened on the night between the 12th and 13th of Spring and the night between the 16th and 17th of Spring in single player mode. On the night between the 12th and 13th of Spring I reset to the 12th of Spring and played the day a second time but my items still didn't ship.

Edit: On the night between the 20th and 21st Spring I shipped one no star potato then went to bed before 7am and it shipped. I then reset the day to the 20th again and didn't go to bed until after dark, I shipped 1 daffodil, 2 leeks, 1 gold star cauliflower, 11 no star potatoes, 2 gold and silver star potatoes, 1 silver star anchovy, 3 no star corral, 4 silver star corral, 2 gold star corral, 1 no star and gold star muscle, 1 cockle, 1 clam, 1 no star and silver star oyster and the items didn't ship.

 

Hi there!
I'm having a bug where the game freezes for me sometimes, but not for my friend when we're playing. I can't press any buttons, but the game just keeps on running and I can see the things that are happening around me.
It has just happened when I accidently used my fishing rod while using the selling-container

 

Here is a bug, when you are not the host of the game/server then you won't get the 25% more money for your fish. I could see the bonus in my sales summary, but the host could not see it in his. In the end, we didn't get the bonus at all.

 

We had another instance where everyone was forced to watch my cutscene and were then teleported to the location of the cutscene.
(Of note, this happened last night before the most recent update)

 

Hope this wasn't posted in the 75 pages of comments but I didn't see it on the master list.

Player joined game (after a crash trying to leave his building if that matters) right as I exited a screen and it put me in a weird super laggy (1 frame per 15s or so) state until I left the screen. Other (seemingly random) times I'll get a similar stutter but it's more on the 8fps scale and isn't tied to the timing of someone joining.

 

Hi everyone!
From 6 PM the game stops for a moment and the frames drop down and it's hard to move. When you enter the farm, it keeps going bad but when you enter any other house it runs good.
I'm playing single player by the way.

Thanks!
