Hi,

So i have had issues getting my Xbox Series 2 Elite Controller to work, after following some instructions from this forum i replaced the libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib file with one i found. This makes the controller work but now i get no sound. I get the following error:

If i verify the game files then the sound works but the controller doesn't. So i can either play with a controller and no sound or with sound and no controller.

I'm on MacOS Ventura 13.0.

Any help is appreciated, i can provide any other logs if necessary.

Many thanks,

Hi there! I have the same controller and problem: with the SDL2 files here I couldn't get it to work together. I found another file that worked for me (Mac OS Sonoma M1).
I took it from here ( ares-v135/ares.app/Contents/Frameworks/libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib )

How would one install this? this is my last hope :(

Sweet. This one works with the new SDV 1.6 on a mac M1 with Sonoma 14.4. I got Stardew Valley from GOG.

For those needing help installing try this:
1. Open Finder
2. Navigate to Applications and find Stardew Valley in there
3. Right click on it and select 'Show Package Contents'
4. In the new Finder window that opened navigate to Contents/MacOS/
5. Find a file called libSDL-2.0.0.dylib
6. Right click on it to rename it to libSDL-2.0.0.dylib.orig. If it all goes badly, rename this file back to its original name to restore things
7. Copy the linked file here that you downloaded into this location
8. Run SDV as normal

That's it!

Hi all, wondered if you may be able to help...I've navigated into Contents > MacOS, but the only file is "run.sh". Does this fix only work if you got Stardew Valley from GOG? Mine is from Steam. Thank you!

For Steam, the location is:
/Users/[YOUR USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS

I just confirmed this fix works for SVD on Steam with a wireless Xbox One controller.

I've just done it and it worked! I used this file and here's how I did it:

(for reference, I have a 2020 macbook air with sonoma 14.0, and an xbox series x controller)

1. download the file in the linked message (open the zip folder to download)
2. Open steam>library>stardew valley> settings>properties>installed files>browse>contents>macOS
3. Look for file "libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib" - if you have one exactly called this, great, if you see one that looks nearly identical, change the name so it is exactly identical to the name of the downloaded file. If the names aren't exactly the same this will not work.
4. Transfer the downloaded file into this folder, you should get a warning message saying there is a file with the same name - make sure you click replace file so the original file gets deleted and replaced with the new file
5. Open stardew valley and it should work!

Hope this helps! happy farming!

Hi everyone! Confirming that this fixed all my controller issues using Nintendo Joy-cons left right pair on my MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 macOS Ventura 13.6.6.

You can access the hidden library on mac by opening finder and clicking GO on the navbar at the top of the screen and then pressing the option key.

Then paste the file into /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS

Mate, you've got no bloody idea how long I've been searching for a fix to this; I've just started playing SDV for the first time and love playing modded on my work Mac. Got the controller working a while back but had no sound. Decided to refresh the Mods and get sound working and this fix is the first one I've found that worked absolutely perfectly. Thank you so much!
Sincerely, a 34yo Aussie lass who was ready to chuck the Mac out the window <3
