SV 2.6.06:Game crashes when trying to enter skull cavern? Unmodded and modded it happens

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if you can help, my game crashes when I try to enter Skull Cavern. I at first thought it was because of my modded version, but I tried the unmodded version and it still crashes.

For the modded I used the 0.40Alpha SMAPI but I think it's the game itself if it even happens when I try the unmodded version

 

This is the bug report, but the mine_desert.xnb file is in the folder, so I'm confused

Message: Error loading "mine_desert". File not found.
InnerException: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Error loading "Content\mine_desert.xnb". File not found.

Is the 'mine_desert.xnb' directly under your Content folder or in the Mines folder?

It needs to go here:
"Stardew Valley/Content/Maps/Mines/mine_desert.xnb"

 

yeah it is, I made sure, it still crashes and no bug report

 

Hrm okay, if it's not that.
It's likely an actual bug in the code. I'm not too familiar with the GOG version, & its update numbers.
If that's the latest version; you might want to file an official bug report here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jr93uTjGJWeNmyTY6jfNdb-L1w7Gz4i-aUk-EfRmR6M/viewform

 

For anyone who lands here from a search, I think the issue might be XNB Node. Some of the files were noticeably corrupted after unpacking and repacking (e.g., transparency of lights in Cursors). I had this issue using SMAPI and Fast Animations and after manually darkening my wet soil and artifact spots. I replaced my Contents folder with the original, and that fixed it. The SMAPI mods were not the problem.

 

I know this is a year and a half old post, but I wanted to make sure others who have had this problem are getting the correct answer: If you use XNBloader mines_desert.xnb needs to be in both the root CONTENT\> folder as well as the MAPS\MINES\> folder.
