PC [BUG] Game crash every time bluetooth earbuds/headset disconnects

[Misadventure]

I thought it was just a coincidence, but the game freezes every single time my Bluetooth earbuds disconnect (when the battery dies, for example) when I'm playing the game.

I can't ALT + F4. I can't ALT + TAB to a different program, even the task manager will stay in the background. The only solution is to literally shut down my PC and restart.

There's no error message, the game freezes and becomes completely unresponsive.

• Game version: 1.5.4
• In-game language: English
• Single-player

Anybody else encounter this issue?

Please let me know if you need more information.

It's a known issue. It also happens when you use regular headphones and disconnect the cable.

This happened to me, but with a different game. I don't know it it's something ConcernedApe could fix.

I wasn't aware it was a known issue, thanks for letting me know! It's especially frustrating because I don't get a warning when the battery gets low, it just dies and disconnects.

Oh that's interesting. I didn't know it happened with other games too. Maybe I should report it through Steam instead.

First off, welcome to the forum, Misadventure!

I ran into this bug soon after v1.5 dropped and soon found out that this is a longstanding bug which, if I recall correctly, is either not fixable without a complete game rewrite (!), or nearly that to where it's just not worth the effort. And it's not a Steam bug as I play the GOG version and it's extant there as well.

Thanks for the warm welcome! :)

That's odd because someone else just mentioned that it happened with a different game, so then I started thinking it might be a Steam issue. Thanks for your input and letting me know it's a longstanding bug. I guess I should just suck it up and use my wired headset instead of using Bluetooth earbuds lol.

It's possible that the other game (which, if you're curious, was terraria, which was on steam) happened to have the same issue, despite them not being related to each other.

That's more than likely what is going on. I never thought about it affecting other games since I just recently started playing Stardew Valley again and haven't been playing anything else, haha.

Also, Terraria is amazing and it's my second most played game on Steam, after Stardew Valley, of course. :)

I had a another somewhat similar issue with minecraft, although the effects were much less severe, in that it only cut out the sound.

Also, why is it that so many people seem to play both terraria and stardew valley? There's both great games, don't get me wrong, but it's just surprising.
