Switch 1.6 Switch Multiplayer Crashing

[beesandstars]

My wife and I play Stardew a lot on multiplayer splitscreen on the Switch, but since the update (which we've loved a lot of) we've found it increasingly difficult to continue playing. Every other day, with seemingly no rhyme or reason, it just crashes at the end of the day and doesn't save so we have to do it over again. The only thing that seems to be the same is that it's always after we've finished a quest/found a rare item ;w;

there also seems to be a glitch with the mines where when I go down there sometimes random levels freeze and I have to leave that level quickly otherwise the whole day crashes. Like, I will swing my pickaxe and the swing sprit will stay there along with the stone sprite. Enemies dont move but I still get attacked etc.

The update has been really amazing, we've loved so much of it, but the crashes are making it nearly impossible since it's becoming more frequent. If there's anything I can do to fix it I'd love to know!!

My wife and I also play split screen co op on switch, and it crashes quite frequently. Today we were on floor 90 of skull cavern when it crashed, obviously frustrating. Crashes seem to be triggered when there's a lot going on (rapid entering/exiting screens), or when a cut scene starts.

There is no motivation to continue playing like we have until this is fixed. Really hope they're working on it.

PC and mobile have already received fixes. Hopefully a patch for those of us on consoles isn't too far away. It would suck to be left behind for months yet again

We have been having the same issue, we eventually find a way down but we miss out an all the items on that floor which sucks. Sometimes when we finish a day it crashed but it seemed to save so annoying but not then end of the world.

Would be great to have fixed soon as we just started a new game with the update!

Try having the player who is not the host entire the floors first. That has worked for us for this issue.
