I installed the new 1.5.5 update and ever since then, my game is ever so slightly stuttering when moving around, especially when there's a lot of stuff happening on the screen. The game itself isn't particularly resource intensive, so not sure what's going on with it?

If anyone here can give me as much info as possible about your hardware, that would be helpful. Are you playing on a desktop? A laptop? What kind of Graphics hardware (GPU) do you have?

also, please try this and let me know if it helps:

1) In the windows search bar, type in "device manager". open it

2) expand the "display adapters" section

3) If there are two devices listed, identify if one is the "integrated graphics unit", and the other a dedicated graphics card. Integrated graphics will often be called something like "Intel UHD Graphics", whereas a dedicated card will be called something like "NVidia Geforce RTX etc.", but it will vary depending on your set up. You may have to do a little research online to verify.

NOTE: If there's only one device listed, then these instructions aren't applicable to you.

4) If you've identified the integrated graphics, right click it and select "disable device". The screen may go black for a moment. Now Re-enable the integrated graphics by right clicking and selecting "enable device".

5) Try Stardew again and see if it helps at all. If it didn't, you can try NOT re-enabling the integrated graphics unit, but just keep in mind you might want to re-enable it again at some point after you're done playing.

Unfortunately, this update broke mouse input completely for me. I can't see the mouse ingame. If I open the inventory, the mouse shows up, but if I close it again, the mouse keeps moving to the top left corner of the screen, even leaving the screen because I have multiple monitors. Switching between item slots with the mouse wheel no longers work. Scrolling in the menus with mouse wheel and with the scrollbars does not work, as it keeps scrolling up all the time.

You can also no longer skip the intro with escape. And you can no longer trigger the easter egg by clicking the ConcernedApe logo, as the mouse cannot be moved during that time.

I'm on Windows 10 64 Bit, no mods.

Hey, if you could give me a little more information about your set up, that would be helpful. Are you using multiple monitors? Do you have a game pad plugged into the computer?

One thing you can try is going into options and turning game pad mode to "off". See if that helps. Thanks!
