Bug/Issue Switch version - assorted bugs (including audio crackle)

"Just had my first crash that made me lost an entire day of removing weed and wood. I was playing one arcade game of Cowboys vs Aliens and when trying to find the button to get out the game I pressed the minus button and the crash happened.

Fun game though, I would have appreciated some tutorials and guidance from NPCs about the activities you can do but nothing. I wanted to go blind on this but it's starting to be hard."

Probably not a bug, not sure so mentioning it anyway:

"it's annoying that I can't see how much I would get from shipping an item in the item box."

General observation from me: the cat (and no doubt the dog) can stop you getting in/out of your own house when they sleep or sit there. Something needs to be coded into the game to either prevent them sleeping there or for a way to get them to move.

For example:

see the screenshots from Aiii.

 

Not sure if a bug or not:

"It’s odd that characters just don’t respond to you talking to them when you’ve exhausted their dialogue instead of just repeating their lines like most games. I feel like it’s taking me a long time to learn everyone’s names because with some characters you just get one shot a day to talk to them."

Arguably not a bug ......... or is it? Controller issues again, have to go into the options to disable the controller menu support to hover over stamina bar:

"Any way to see your remaining stamina without changing off of console controls and using the cursor to hover over the bar?"

It’s not a bug, it does this in the PC version as well.

 

Thanks for that, useful to know.

 

"I was playing and all of a sudden none of my controls worked. I could still use the Home and Screenshot buttons. Time was still passing, and my character's eyes were blinking, but I couldn't move or open menus.

So I quit the game and reloaded, and I can't select anything! None of the controls work, even after a full system restart. The controls work fine in other games, but Stardew Valley is now completely inoperable."

Maybe this one is related:

"I can't get past the start screen. The cursor doesnt move, they work on all my other games and the home screen of the switch but when i start up this game they don't seem to work. Also should mention im in handheld mode and restarting the app doesnt work."

"My game crashes every time I go to bed after handing over a tool to the blacksmith for an upgrade. I've tried it with all of them and the game shuts off due to an error."

"not particularly critical, but if you are using a Japanese keyboard layout and try to enter your name on the character creation screen in Japanese, the game just doesn't do anything -- the name field stays blank.


A little odd, since the Switch keyboard lets you go all the way through the trouble of typing it up."

"When I turn my console to sleep mode, and turn it back on, I can move my cursor, but I cannot press any buttons.
Anyone else experiencing this?"

"Initiation quest says you need to slay 10 slimes, but the counter is for Rock Crabs. I've slayed over 10 slimes but still can't get into the adventurer's guild."

Seems this has been in the game since February 2017 at least:

In which case, why hasn't it been fixed yet?

 

Its been a while since I started a new game since playing on PC, but I can't seem to submit anything at the community centre.

https://twitter.com/Neenernina/status/916418018393055232

I've tried exiting the game completely, exiting the center then reentering it... I dont remember this being difficult to be able to start giving things to the community center.

Edit: nvm, I'm a dumdum

 

I replied to your tweet. You get a letter in the mail the next day, follow the instructions. I am PeanutButterCupquake. I had to make a new account here as I couldn’t remember my password nor the email address I used to make the account to reset it.

 

Fishing off the left side of the bridge below the sewer (the bridge Elliot stands on) causes the fishing rod to return to my hand, like fishing on land. This happens every time I fish off that side of the bridge, works fine on the right side.

 

I have noticed that there is a lighting glitch during cutscenes in dark areas such as caves or Shane’s two heart event where the lighting with get brighter when someone is speaking, but darken when someone isn’t speaking. It goes back and forth with each text box. I’ve also had this issue in the Octopath Traveller demo so I’m not sure if it’s my system or just these types of games, but it only seems to happen in these two games.

Edit: I’ve noticed that it also happens when I interact with things and as stated, only in dark areas.

 

"Had it softlock on me twice in a row when I attempting to donate a mineral to the museum. Each time when I tried to place it somewhere it seemed to succeed, update the journal, but then I couldn't leave the donate menu."

and:

"Get into an un-escapable menu if I try to turn in an earth crystal at the museum. Reproduced twice."

another one:

"I went into the “Stardew Valley Museum and Library” and tried to donate quartz. Was able to place one in there but after that I was unable to do anything else so was forced to close the game. Anyone else encountered this?"

"Found an awful bug: if you fish on the bottom left corner of the dock next to Willy’s store and it lands on the pillar, you can’t move or open menus other than your journal until your character passes out from exhaustion. How annoying."

similarly:

"When fishing, it’s possible to get your character stuck. Can’t open inventory or move. The big makes it look like the rod is sticking out of your right eye."

and:

"I attached bait to my fiberglass pole and then caught a fish. My character is now holding the fish (Red Mullet, 12in) and there is no way to get rid of the bubble. Time is still passing, but I can't find a way to get rid of the bubble."

"I haven't been able to replicate this bug but occasionally I can access a chest while I'm not even near it. I'll be farming or mining and out of nowhere the chest menu is open and I can interact with it as if it was there."

Possibly a bug, but when creating a new game and moving through the sliders with the stick the sliders are often "bumped" left or right a little so accidentally adjusting your carefully input settings. This could be put down to clumsy use of the stick, but wouldn't it be better if there was a very slight time delay for slider input, so making it difficult to accidentally "bump" them when moving up/down to the next slider?
