"animation glitch; when one player was in the mines on floor 1, the sword swipe, pickaxe hit and rock breaking animations froze on the screen, meaning the action markers would not disappear. It also did not count the rock as breaking, so no material was gathered. This was a one time issue we havent been able to replicate."

I have come across this multiple times while playing split screen co-op with my GF. No idea what is causing it but, Sometimes when I enter the mine, either from the ladder or using the elevator, the level is bugged out and you can hit rocks that break but the materials do not drop and the pickaxe and sword swings leave partial frozen animations. Leaving the mine or changing levels has fixed the issue for myself.

Bugs I've encountered so far in split screen co-op:
Placing bombs crashes the game.
Some floors in the mine are glitching, where no animations other than the farmer can finish. So monsters don't move, when you swing your sword, the "swoosh" stays. Breaking rocks replaces the rock with stone you can't pick up, same with ores. I noticed it seemed to happen on floors where there was already a ladder to the next floor from the get go. Happens a lot between 70-80
I would occasionally get lag spikes/freezes on switch in the previous version, maybe once a day, but now it's multiple times a day.

My wife and I have also experienced a lot of the bugs described here doing local co-op on the switch:
  • Placing a bomb causing the game to crash, regardless of area it was placed in. This only happens when doing split-screen; if only one person is playing it doesn't happen
  • Annoying fishing grinding noise
  • All volcano levels broken, but only for second player; no enemies appear in any level and all levels match the layout of the entrance area
  • Vertical line of leaves in fall
  • Animation glitches in the mines
We've also seen some that I don't think have been mentioned already:
  • Using the monster musk item also caused the game to crash
  • When inside the house, spouses/children will sometimes clip through the walls/floor (this may have also happened before the update, can't remember now)

Bug: Color Customization Option Blocked for Mini-Fridge on Switch (v1.6)


After the 1.6 update on Stardew Valley for Nintendo Switch, attempting to change the color of the mini-fridge results in a “locked” symbol appearing over the color selection options. This prevents customization and affect all color choices, except the standard "no color". The mini-fridge cannot be customized as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place a mini-fridge in the farmhouse or other location.
2. Interact with the mini-fridge and attempt to change its color.
3. Notice that after picking a color, the fridge symbol shows a glitched "lock" symbol over it.

Expected Result: After the color selection, the fridge should have changed its color.

Actual Result: The fridge doesn't change its color and a glitched symbol appears at the right of the color selection.

Device: Nintendo Switch

Game Version: 1.6.9.36

Bugs during Year 1 Spring
  • Right after the game saved, the game closes and the message, "An unexpected error occurred" appears on the screen.
  • The pet cat disappears and the water bowl stays filled forever without refilling.
  • Mining in the cave sometimes results in the rock breaking, the loot appearing, but the character cannot pick up the loot. Exiting the floor seems to resolve the issue.
  • While player two submits an item to the community center, player one is checking inventory for items to donate to the community center. This results in player one's text to show what player two is looking at in the community center. Example, player two looks at pantry while player one looks at fishing. The text descriptions shown on player one's screen reflects pantry bundles.
  • If one player uses a weapon's secondary action, the other player's weapon will go into cool down too.
Game system details:
  • Nintendo Switch
  • English language;
  • Multiplayer co-op split screen
  • Controller
  • Version 1.6.9.36

My SO and I experienced the mine glitch as well where the sword swings and pickaxe swings don't disappear and we need to leave the mine level and come back.

Also, the cutscene where Mayor Lewis explains the ticket prize machine isn't centered right and Mayor Lewis is cut off (also in co-op split screen).

  • No hats on animals

i'm not sure if it's a bug but the thing i found out is that some save files don't have rain in spring which is like super annoying. i'm one of those players who wants specific bundles and one of the most important to me is the garden bundle (don't ask me why :D i just enjoy it bc it's super easy). so when i am starting a new game i'm looking for a specific seed. since the 4th i played like i believe 3 or 4 different save files with the garden bundle and every single one of them didn't have rain in spring (except the first wednesday which is always rainy). i know rainy days are random but i am playing sv for years and i never had this issue. it just sucks bc you can't catch all the fish and can't upgrade your watering can :(
Edit: I tested it. The bundles don't matter. I slept through spring in dozens of save files and idk like 20-30% of playthroughs didn't have a rainy day in spring (except the first wednesday)!

Same issues with multiplayer and bombs/mines as already listed.
Issues my partner and I are experiencing that I cannot see listed:
  • Partner gets yellow text to say they are hitting Adventure Guild monster goals, but have not been officially invited to the guild nor are able to enter
  • Partner has held cloth but has not had the Emily cutscene and unable to use sewing machine or dye vats in Emily's house
  • Various mail fetch quests seem to get sent only to me (the host) and not my partner, whereas in previous multiplayer saves on 1.5 we both got the quests
  • Island Trader does not have golden coconuts to trade even after opening multiple golden coconuts and waiting a day

I'm on the first week of Summer and the only rains I've had were the scripted day in the beginning of Spring, and the green rain in the summer. Surely with so many of us having this issue, it can't just be RNG?

Playing on Switch, vanilla, 1.6.9, multiplayer split-screen couch co-op 2 players, one wireless controller and one wired, Meadowlands farm, and are now on Day 25 of Fall, year 1. No hats on animals, not even on the players as I have read hats somehow cause bugs now...I have encountered most of the bugs listed here. Namely:

- Game crashes when placing any bomb
- Pet disappeared (was one of the new dogs) and bowl now eternally filled with water.
- Occasional random crashes (once when breaking a big log, once when completing two bundles at the community center, once while trying to enter house to go to bed...really frustrating)
- Sprites animation freezing in the mines (for host player, exiting the level resets things to normal)
- Weird fishing noises while charging to throw the line
- I have noticed also some nit-picky things like we can't plant any trees anywhere in the town anymore (I used to plant some to the right of the river north of Joja mart for timber and can't anymore) or we used to be able to seed them on the edges of brown soil and can't anymore. (edit: apparently this is intentional and was in the patch notes)
- Vertical line of flower petals in the Spring, same glitch as the one described here with the leaves in Fall
- cut-scene of mayor Lewis explaining the reward ticket machine thing cuts Lewis, the machine and the player from the screen.
- Frequent lags (not fun when fishing...)
- The audio programming seems to have changed so that now all songs start with a fade-in? I have a gut feeling this causes problems in the loading times and triggering of the music and there are now very long moments when the music just goes away (always had moments without music but for example, going into town would always trigger the music during the day, it doesn't always anymore)


Loving all the new content though!

I'm not 100 % sure but I think in this one big patch note from months ago (the 1.6 one for pc) I read that you can't plant trees in town anymore for whatever reasons idk. so i am pretty sure it is intentional. but I have the same issues with the petals. I mean I don't mind bc the game became even more beautiful in 1.6 but yeah i noticed it too!

Anyone else have an issue when you put a hat on your pet and then the game lags/hiccups every 3 or 4 seconds? My wife and I started playing a new save co-op split screen with the new update and we would normally get lag/hiccups every so often, but the 3-4 second between them is really rough! We did fix the main issue by buying a new hat and taking the hat off the pet completely. Just wanted to bring the "fix" it to others attention, since I'm sure it's not just us its happening to.

Do we have a means to fix any of these yet from the player end, or are we going to have to wait for CA to put out a patch? Any suitable workarounds in the meantime?

My husband and I are having all of the same problems. We’re in Summer of year 2 in our split screen world and just played the new update for the first time last night. Everything described in this post and comments has been happening for us. We eventually gave up playing… hopefully these issues are fixed soon!
