hello:) this is my first time posting anything here, so please excuse me if i make any mistakes. english isn't my first language either, so please bear with me. ive been playing stradew for a while now, also modded, but recently i keep getting this warning: "[game] An error occurred in the base update loop: FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format." it never used to happen before, but now it does every time i play. nothing changes in game when it happens. my game doesnt freeze or crash or anything, its first when looking through the "game log" (thats what i think its called) that i see the warning. can anyone help? i have linked the log, let me know if there is any problems, thank you in advance:)

Thanks for the log.

Seems to be an issue related to the bus stop; of which you have quite a few mods affecting it:

But, it does reference "BusLocations" in the error.
Can you try temporarily removing the "BusLocations" mod first, and see if that works?

hi, thanks for the quick reply:)
ive removed the "buslocation" mod, the "east scrap bus stop" mod and the "train station bus stop" mod.
i am still getting a warning, except it looks like this now: "[game] An error occurred in the base update loop: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." again, i cant tell a difference when playing the game, all i can say is that the warning first showed up, after going to bed and waking up the next day.
ive put the link to my log down below, please let me know if there is any problem. thank you in advance:)

Thanks for the new log.

It looks like the bus location error is gone; which is good.
In terms of the new error it looks like some schedule error relating to an NPC that potentially visits the farmer.

Code:

Though, I'm not too sure which as it's vague on the mod in question.
You could try temporarily removing a few mods at a time, til you find it cleared. And, then re-add stuff back til you narrow it down.

hi:) so i did as you suggested and removed some mods, which helped. then i added the mods again, one at a time, to try to figure out which one was causing the warning. ive now added all the mods i removed, but im not getting the warning anymore, so idk what i did or what changed but im not getting the warning at all. so thank you for your help, if the warning comes back, i'll be back again:)

Ah, that's odd. Just out of curiosity; did you play a day or more when the mods were removed?
It may only occur on certain days.

2Lwaterbottlelover · Mar 23, 2023

i played a few days without the mods, and im playing right now with all the mods added again, and so far nothing, but i will let you know if it happens again:)

2Lwaterbottlelover · Mar 24, 2023

hello hello:) it happen again :sweat:

but as far as i can tell it only happens after going to bed on sundays.

edit: and ive been thinking, i didnt download any new mods or anything before it happened, i was just playing like normal, so could it be that i have to update some mods? but the black box thing doesnt say i have any updates. just a thought:)

So, another user has the same error: https://forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/game-keeps-glitching.19328
You mentioned Sundays, and they tried removing a few mods.
Removing EastScarpe seemed to help.

Your log shows the mods up to date. This would be more some bug in the current data.

ive now been playing without east scarp for a week, in game, and so far nothing. so that must have been the problem:) thank you for the help:)
