Solved Game Crashes When Loading Save After Transfering from Android to Steam [Windows]

[AneskaDeth]

Hi,

I have transferred my save from android to steam using the instructions on the wiki. However, it loads and then crashes my game with:

Message: There is an error in XML document (1, 2983152).
InnerException: System.ArgumentException: Requested value 'Mill' was not found.

Hello, AneskaDeth! I don't know if you've already solved this problem, but here's the suggestion that solved it for me.

My advanced save was initially started on my iPad. Later, I tried to transfer the save to my Windows 10 computer, which has the most up-to-date version of Stardew Valley on Steam. Whenever I tried to play with this save on the computer, it crashed when loading. At first I thought it was because of the version of the save, as all mobile devices are still on version 1.5, unlike the computer version, which is already on 1.6.6.

For the "InnerException: System.ArgumentException: Requested value 'Mill' was not found" error that appears in the ErrorLogs folder, here's a solution: before trying to move the save from mobile to PC, you first need to demolish the Mill building on your farm. It's a bit obvious haha, but for me, who doesn't have English as main language, it was a mind explosion. I understand that if you can't run the game on any device, this makes any action complicated. But here's a suggestion for those of you who can still run the game on a mobile device before trying it on PC.

I hope this works and helps you!

Hi! Mill chests on mobile have a <specialChestType>Mill</specialChestType> value, which doesn't exist on other platforms. That's fixed in the upcoming Stardew Valley 1.6.9.

In the meantime, you can edit your save file and delete that line to let it load on PC.
