Solved [Solved] Save Backup crash & emergency save not working

[BoiledNoodle]

I have several issues with v1.6.14.7 build 24334.

1. Crash on tapping 'Save Backup'.
2. Emergency saves not created when the game went background.

Background: I once transfer my save to PC and play it a little then transfer back to my phone. Stardew PC version: v1.6.14 build 24317

A couple questions:
1. Does the save backup crash occur on a completely fresh save?
2. Can you share the save? I'm not able to get the crash to happen myself, so I'm wondering if it's related to the specific save file

nvm, I figured out the cause. I was using ADB to pull and push my saves and messed up directory permission on my phone.

details:
I push entire directory of my saves from PC and the saves directory owner becomes 'shell' inside my phone. It prevents Stardew Valley to create new file inside the directory, resulting crash when using Save Backup and screenshot feature, also it can't create an emergency save.

Thanks for the support though!

Good to know! Thanks for the info, I'll mark this as solved

Hi! How did you fix it? I did the same thing and have no idea how to grant permission again

The easiest way:

1. run adb shell or adb shell -s <your_phone_adb_id>
2. then chmod 777 /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.chucklefish.stardewvalley/files/Saves/<your_save_directory>
3. once then, Stardew app should have access to your save game directory

note:

• I'm not sure if every android phones always has same directory structure for internal storage (in my case it's /storage/emulated/0/).
• If you are planning to transfer saves between PC and Android back and forth in the future, keep in mind that you just need to transfer the save file (yourfarmname_numbers and SaveGameInfo), not the entire save directory. That way, you won't have to fix the permission again.
