I’m having this issue as well, audio started distorting after about a minute of game play and had some frame drops. Changing the priority to high and turning off cpu0 worked for like ten or fifteen minutes but then it happened again, this time way worse than before- I could barely get into bed to save my progress for that day because of the extreme frame drops (I don’t know how to find out how many it was). I do have a lot mods running and my laptop is ten years old, this is the first time I’ve booted it up in years. I used to play vanilla Stardew on it in like 2017 but I don’t remember if I had any issues with it then. I really wanted to try some cool mods that I can’t have on my ps4. I tried to do the integrated graphics card thing but I only have one graphics card listed under display adapters? Is my laptop just too old for that fix?
I’ve also tried the Microsoft XNA thing but when I click on repair I get a message saying “The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package ‘xnafx40_redist.msi’ in the box below.” The box below auto fills in with a file from a random game I have on steam, I tried clicking okay to try again and it tried to use that file but it did not work, saying the file can’t be found. I checked the game files for Stardew but there’s nothing in the XNA redist folder. I found an article that talked about someone on Reddit that uploaded a file that you can use instead if it’s absent, but I can’t figure out how to install it or if it’s gonna change my save files. Does anyone know about this?
This is everything I could find on my computer about its processors and stuff. I’m not very tech savvy so I’m not sure what is relevant or not
AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1.90 GHz. 64-bit OS, x64-based processor. Windows 8.1. Graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 7640G. 6GB RAM (5.47GB usable)
EDIT: just noticed this thread is in the non-modded section, my apologies if this isn’t the right place for this, I’m completely new to the forum
