The game constantly crashes when using preserve jars and some other actions cause it to crash as well. The only repeatable one I can say for sure is preserve jars but there are other things that caused crashes as well. Please fix

Verified reproducible on kegs and preserves jars. Statues of perfection and blessings as well as crystalariums work.

Similar issue here. Just got an update (Dec 24, 2024)
Loaded game and it prompted for an update. No way to not update if you want to play on XBOX. After it finished updating it loaded as expected. Did my daily stuff, but when going to sleep the game goes black and then my Xbox home screen appears and the game has terminated. Reboot, try again, rinse and repeat terminal spiral. It never gives the text about saving the game when going to sleep.

If I load a different save I dont seem to experience the crash. Although, I did not play for any length on my alt games. But they did not crash on sleep/save.

Since the save game text doesnt come up before it crashes, I tried putting something to sell in the box, as that comes up before the save, but it did not show any sale info and crashed anyway.

AFTER THE UPDATE:
Version: 1.6.9.41
Platform: xbox
Mods:No


I suspect the save was in quickload/memory and the game updated while the running game was loaded to the previous version and when the game tries to save it is a mismatch and crashes. Whatever version checks are in place during save, not sure to be able to confirm this.
Anyway, this will be a game stopper for me if this doesnt have a workaround or fix.

If the issue turns out to be that, there should be some check/validation prior to any installation of an update which is to check for whether or not the application is running ( whether actively running, or if memory file saves exist (indicating the memory write for the quickload) If yes, end application, verify no running application then proceed to install and update.

Working on an emergency patch fix according to Twitter account. Glad I got a 10hr Twitch stream out of the way before it happened. Hope it's fixed soon. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄❤ to all. Hope your day is relaxing & beautiful. I was gonna stream some Stardew but there goes that lol. Hope everyone has good food & hot cocoa to wake up to tomorrow 😋 😘 ❤

Yea, I finally loaded up Stardew valley and preserve jars are also bugged. I can't go anywhere near them without the whole game crashed.

I'm on day 10, spring year 1, Xbox One, new save, only version gives to me at load screen is 1.6. I can confirm that it's also crashing with fish smokers. I have had 3 crashes now but I did clear my cache thinking that would help. SDV is so stable that I thought it had to be my Xbox acting crazy. The 3rd crash I moved the smoker outside of the cabin to see if that helped but it still crashed. I feel bad for reporting on Christmas Eve but you have asked players to do so, so here I am.

Wishing all of you Happy Holidays, whatever that looks like to you. Thank you so much for your hard work and this amazing game!

I came here with the exact same issue. Guaranteed crash every time you harvest from preserve jars. Hopefully this is fixed soon. We’re in good hands with concernedape

Sad, I finally have some time to play and now they broke it. I was literally playing it and having fun on Christmas eve and it cut to black and said I have to update...like the grinch who stole Christmas. Hope it's fixed soon.

Another patch was released. I tested it myself, seems like all the crashes and bugs were fixed.
