PC [HELP] Game crashes before saving at night

[Knerd]

Just about every other night, the game will crash when my character goes to sleep. Right before the game calculates my gold and saves the day, the screen will freeze and the entire game crashes.

There are no error logs created for this. I'm playing through Steam. I don't use any mods and this never happened before the update.

 

[ConcernedApe]

Okay, so you've checked %appdata%/StardewValley/ErrorLogs and there is nothing?
What language are you playing in, what OS are you on, and have you ever used mods in the past?

 

[Knerd]

Correct, no error logs.

I am playing in English on PC/Windows 10 through Steam. I've never used mods.

ayo i'm having the same issue - english, windows 10/laptop and no error logs. just curious are u per chance having issues when u tab out of the game with it refusing to reopen? just tryna figure out if this is something to do with my laptop or not. just for more information, my game has never had any issues till the recent update - am v excited to play again when i can get this sorted

I had the same issue with crashing at sleep. Existing save from before the update. Windows 10/English/Steam. No mods ever. Started playing on Spring 2 (Year 7), crash happened sleeping at the end of Spring 8. Error log attached. Was able to restart the game and replay the day then sleep fine.

Yes - I switched to WIndowed mode to see if that helped, and navigating away from the game causes it to freeze and crash.

This happens on new save files.

Solved!

With the update, Steam automatically changed my settings to start storing all game saves in the Steam Cloud. Once I untoggled that option, all of my freezing and crashing issues disappeared. The game has now saved five days in a row for me without issue. :)

Where can I find that setting on the Steam client? Thanks.

In your Steam library, right click on Stardew Valley and choose Properties. Under the General tab, there is then an option to save games in the Steam Cloud. Un-tic that box.

ayy it works beautifully again! thank u very much

How I seem to have fixed - crashing with similar occurance as above ^ - differently:

<!-- Please note I had not restarted my computer in several days, and had not restarted since installing 1.5 fresh on a recently reformatted computer, through steam. -->

Fix: I exited steam and all programs fully, restarted my computer, installed SMAPI to try to gain error logs to report [which were not being produced by the crashes], opened Stardew through SMAPI and my crashing in LAN Co-op seems to have been fixed, and still saving to the cloud - I think?

I will update if it returns. Thanks to @Odin for the SMAPI recommendation in another bug post. :)

Same thing happened to me, on the 26th of Spring year one, new file created after the update. Playing through steam. Two events I found related to stardew in Windows 10 Event Viewer are in spoiler below. Will try recommended above fixes and report back if error reoccurs.

Thank you!

I would like some help with this please. I have tried to find a crash report and cannot. I have also stopped the cloud saving and my game is still crashing before save. It is freezing to the point where I cannot do anything but restart my computer.

I just had another crash when trying to sleep. It's not very common; I've played through a year and this was only the second time it's happened. Error log attached.

This seems unlikely, but this is the second time a train has come through town -- maybe the first time was the other crash I had? I can't remember. It stood out this time because I finally got lephrechaun shoes which was one of the only pre-1.5 items I didn't have, so it's a shame to lose them.
