[2021] The Mac Multiplayer Issue Is Now Fixed

As many of you know, for the past couple of weeks there has been an issue with multiplayer on Mac. The issue was not a bug in Stardew Valley’s code (there hasn’t been a Stardew Valley update since early this year, so nothing could have changed), but instead was an “authentication” issue having to do with the PC platforms (Steam & GOG). This happened because of a strange and very specific issue with a recent software update on one of those platforms. Fortunately, we were in communication with them right away, and with their help, we’ve discovered a way to resolve the issue. If you notice an update on Steam, that’s what it is. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

As always, thanks for playing Stardew Valley.
