I am playing a multi-player game and am not the host. There are 4 of us, we are on year 4, the game has worked great for the past 3 months since we started, and then all of a sudden, a few days ago, I was unable to put things in the machines, though periodically it would work. I am the only one having a problem. I can pick up items that are ready but not place items in mayo machines, kegs, dehydrators, etc. Also, the item I'm holding to place in the machine disappears from my hands immediately upon trying to place in machine, however the item is still there, highlighted in my inventory and then the machine bumps/thuds as though I put something in but nothing has been loaded. I've tried moving the machines, changing the items, moving them in my inventory to see if that works, all to no avail. Other players come in and can load the machines just fine so it is not machine placement or wrong items, etc. Today I started having issues with placing a path down outside, so it seems like it is getting worse. We are not running any mods. We are playing on Steam on Windows computers. The host is in the same home, so on the same LAN. The other two players are in another state. I have a second game that I host and there are no issues in that game with me or the other players. I have gone in and out of the game multiple times, have shut off everything including resetting the internet, have checked for updates on Steam, Stardew, OS and checked to be sure I'm on the same version with the host.
This severely limits my gameplay and since it is not a global issue, meaning not everyone is having the same issue, or all of the non-hosting players, it is very perplexing. Also, because the other farm I created is working fine it is obviously not an update or setting issue, especially since the two games were created within 2 weeks of each other. Please someone help me fix this. I play with my kids at college and it's a great way for us to connect when everyone is so far away but we can't play like this!
I saw a similar post from a few years ago so it seems like this isn't just me but I would like to fix this so we can resume playing. There was no resolution listed but I'm obviously not the only one who has faced this bug!
