Stardew Valley Dev Tracker

This will be fixed in 1.4

Hey, that tiny update was just to add in a couple of steam stats for today's steam summer sale event. I couldn't reveal that because the timing of the summer sale event is confidential, but now that it's out I can say it.

if you go to %appdata%/StardewValley/ErrorLogs are there any error logs there associated with the time you got the crash? If so, if you could send them to me or just paste the contents here I'd appreciate it and maybe can help

that's interesting, no error log suggests a different kind of issue internally which is also a useful piece of information. I think this will likely be fixed in the 1.4 update. Thanks!

The multiplayer update is a difficult thing to port, because under the hood it kind of completely changes the way stardew valley works. It's transparent to the player, but for the porting team it means a lot of work and extra problems that have to be solved, compared to a normal content update. That's why the actual porting work took so long.

Also, the XBOX/PS4 versions got started a little late because of some behind-the-scenes business "misunderstandings" (which I can't get into for legal reasons).

Working with consoles is just slow in general compared to PC.. Unlike something like Steam, you have to pass "certification" for each platform, which has specific technical requirements. So in order to do that you have to do a lot of back and forth QA, etc. in addition to the regular development time of the port itself.

So the main reasons why it's taking this long: 1) multiplayer update is a big change to the stardew valley code and difficult to port. Each ...

Hey everyone, XBOX and PS4 updates are in certification, which typically means that they could be out within the next couple of weeks, but I can't guarantee anything.

...the reason I haven't tweeted about this in a while is because, in the past, unless I had a concrete release date, it seemed to just frustrate people more than anything else. If I say "it's in cert now" then people will ask "What does that mean? How long is that?" and then I'll have to give some kind of estimate, which then, if it doesn't pan out (which can always happen if the game fails cert a couple times), people will be angry with me. It's complicated. I'm sorry about the radio silence. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place with this, and it's not always easy to know what to do.

Part of the problem is that the way the whole QA/cert cycle works, it's really really difficult to say "It will be out on X day" or even X month. It's also difficult because, as someone else mentioned here, I...

hey sorry about the crash... if you go to %appdata%/StardewValley/ErrorLogs is there an error log that you can associate with the time of this crash? If so, if you can send it to me or just post it here, that would be really helpful and hopefully it can be fixed for the 1.4 update.

Thanks for the reports. I'll pass this on to the mobile porting guys and hopefully they can get a fix out ASAP

Thanks for the report, I'll check it out. My goal is to fix any & every bug for the upcoming 1.4 update
