It does. In fact, my game was perfect until 1.6, and then the lagging began :(

Why does the title say "Solved"? It is not solved at all!

Guys! Had the same problem. Have some 50+ mods. Automate does it. And it does it for a very specific reason for me. I have a huge serene house mod. when you enter serene house it is in fact a foresty arbour where i have placed some several hundreds of crystalariums to farm diamond. Also, all of them were connected to a single crate for the Automate mod to deploy and sort it out. And appearantly, there was no space left for the diamonds to be deployed and to many crystalariums were showing that they are ready to be harvested. removing automate solved the problem, but simply creating space for those diamonds to be deployed by taking some diamonds from the crate or placing another crate and allowing automate to do its business solved the problem. I believe Automate was constantly trying to do its job for over a vast number of machineries and being unable to execute its job and that seriously lagged in every two seconds or smt.
Thus, it might be about automate, or there might be too many machineries that are ready to be harvested by automate but somehow unable to be so.

Hey guys, I got it fixed.
On my Wife's computer, which is a real mish-mash of parts (AMD 8350 FX on a MSI 970, with a 3060Ti, older SSD and brand new PSU but ancient Case and older/used motherboard/CPU).
Fresh install of windows, only Steam, Stardew and a couple other games for testing on it.
All of the other suggestions helped in increments. It went from crashing/freezing to Stuttering bad.
Stuttering bad to stuttering a bit.
Stuttering a bit to only stuttering when I'm clearing out a large amount of crop(or fiber on a new farm).
One user suggested putting some code into the boot-up settings of Stardew, when going through steam(which I did do).
It all made a difference but I started to wonder if it's to do with compatibility issues- new Windows OS's have advanced, various visual settings you can set(For example, the toolbar on the bottom is see-through by default on W10). I didn't actually change the visual settings before I fixed it- it got me thinking:
Stardew isn't a demanding game, what if you just run it as/with earlier Windows versions?
TLDR:
---->Right click Stardew. Go to properties.
----> Go to compatibility.
---->Set to compatibility mode for Windows 8(If this doesn't work, you can try W7, or W10 if you're on W11, etc. etc.).
Done!
Other things I did:
- Set Power mode to performance(I've had strange issues with radically different games with this setting). Power-saving can often cause problems, and Balanced in rare cases do as well.
-Turned off Vsync(This has caused issues with previous windows/games combinations for me).
-Using the same method above, set Stardew to "Run as Administrator"(It's in the same menu, just lower down).
-Edit this post twice
This computer doesn't have an on-board that ConcernedApe mentioned could be turned off/on/Disabled, so I really think the issues lies somewhere in the realm of power/video/display adaptation.

Updates.
Still having issues... Primarily on creating a new farm(er) on the main menu. I think I am having a legitimate piece of hardware fail on me, however, as opposed to a problem specifically with Stardew. We'll see!
Bonus:
For everyone who is similarly annoyed with having to bring up Task manager, worry no more:
Install CPU lasso, set the affinity/priority through it, and as long as it is running, you won't have to deal with it anymore.

The solution in my case:
Update BIOS to the latest version.
I have GIGABYTE Z690 motherboard.
I updated BIOS version from F6 to F26.
Also I updated all the necessary drivers in AppCenter utility.
For those who deal with this problem at a lower hardware level:
This motherboard has issue also known as "coil whine". It's related with CPU voltage. I have Intel i5-12600K.
The voltage was lowered in some cases. As I understand it, it has stabilized in the new BIOS updates. But it is better to study this topic on the appropriate forums.
After updating BIOS and setting "Acoustic Noise Mitigation" feature to "Enabled" — both the coil whine and stuttering in the game are gone.

Okay, just created this account to share my experience as well, I'm playing on an older laptop (Lenovo Ideapad 330) while I don't have any issue when playing vanilla, I have this problem when I play with mods, mainly the SVE, which I presume due to how big the mod is and how much it expands the vanilla area, the unchecking of CP0 makes it so when it starts lagging, it'll go back to normal after a couple of seconds, Updating my BIOS makes everything smoother, but the problem still happen, tho less worse than before and it won't drop to 5fps, the only problem is, when it happens it distorted the audio, which will slowly go back to normal, still the audio is slightly distorted, blocking with the sword refreshes it, I guess the BIOS update kinda fixed it for me, I can play the game with only a slight problem of lag from time to time, otherwise much less than before... as long I block with my sword XD

Just registered to tell how i fixed the performance issues for me:
In my case my problems seems to be caused by a Multi Monitor Setup...Some games just hate it...
How i fixed my issues:
I hardset the max FPS of Stardew Valley near my monitor refresh rates: For me its 60Hz and 62FPS hardlimit from the NVIDIA driver worked best for me. I have a few microstutter here and there, but the 20-30s long drops to 5-10FPS are completely gone. Play around with the value to see which works best for you.
AMD should have similar options, maybe a AMD user can share where to find it in the driver?
Hope it helps to some of you,
Cheers!

I am having the same issue. I run a windows 11 64bit system, 16gb ram, rtx2050.
The game runs fine on the 32-bit version but as you can't mod that one, so I tried several ways to fix this issue.. and nothing helped.
All the things that did not work:
- Vertify my files, I even reinstalled the game a few times
- Set priority to high in task manager
- Remove the CPU 0 under affinity
- Update my windows
- Update my drivers
- DirectX 12 is installed already
- My laptop already runs on the newest bios version
- Use compatibility modus (7+8)
- Change the nvidia settings to high performance
I am frustrated at this point. I got this laptop around in january, and back then everything seemed to run fine.

It's now October and I'm having this issue to the extent that like many others, I made an account to ask. This post shouldn't even say solved because it's really not.
AMD Ryzen 7, Nvidia RTX 4060
My game crashed yesterday and hasn't been the same since. Tried everyones recommendations here but it hasn't fixed anything and I'm at a loss of what to do because I'm unable to find a proper fix and it's getting frustrating now. Please help because I'm struggling to continue enjoying the game. 436hrs of smooth gameplay broken down to one single crash that breaks everything

How do I do this? Having the same issue with freezing and lagging but I can't find where to set my priority. Could you walk me through it please?

Also I have experienced poor performance on a high spec PC.
I should also mention that the remote PC systems on Luna don't perform well.
At the end of the day this is on the developers. We should not have to chop and change system settings to make this game work properly.
Fix your product please.

I just wanted to say, I created an account just to profusely thank you for this!!! It helped so much! I was so frustrated from the constant stuttering and been looking for solutions! You rock! Seriously.

My Mom's game had this issue while mine did not. What fixed it was turning on Steam controller input. I already had mine on well before the lag became an issue on my Mom's computer. I never had an issue with lag, that I can recall. I hope that helps, and maybe @ConcernedApe this could help any future dev for the game. Why Steam not having access to a controller would lag the game, I don't know. Her controller is a wired Xbox controller.
