Multiplayer Partner Crashing

Blue6erry · Mar 25, 2023

Hi, so my girlfriend and I are playing with a healthy amount of mods (me hosting) and she is having a lot of crashing issues. Sometimes (mostly in the mines) her game will freeze and she will have to exit the game. When this happens, her smapi log doesn't show any problems. I, unfortunately, do not have a log for this, but I am hoping with my modlist someone might know of an incompatibility. Her RAM/GPU/CPU are not maxing out, so that shouldn't be the issue either.

Second, she recently crashed when she was trying to go into the Secret Woods. I do have a log for that. https://smapi.io/log/3fbad7e8fae648d888ef2f372f48759a

Finally, when trying to rejoin, her game kept freezing as she was loading in (it said she joined on my end). https://smapi.io/log/ca1196a6f2aa4aff854302124093a453 and https://smapi.io/log/696e5208c0454e3d876f83fba3d4eee3

My only guess for the mines issue is maybe Custom Dungeon Floors, but I have absolutely no proof. As for the Secret Woods, I had just had Alecto's first cutscene trigger the day before and NPC map locations said that's where she is now, so maybe that is what caused that? Finally, it looks like me upgrading my Love of Cooking pan might be what is stopping her from being able to join the server. All of these are just guesses and I would very much appreciate any and all feedback from anyone who knows a bit more about compatibility and smapi logs.

PS: I have recently discovered Passable Crops, so we will be switching to that to replace Walk Through Trellis. Also, I also just discovered that Little NPCs is not multiplayer compatible, so we will be removing that and its related mods.

Thanks for the multiple logs.
I didn't see yours, but there's multiple different errors on hers.

Long snippet of relevant error messages under the spoiler.
The equals signs divide the errors by each log.

Overview:
Log 1:
There's seems to be a conflict between the mods Market Day, and Bigger Backpacks.
There's also a DeepWoods error; relating to an NPC schedule.

Log 2:
A Better Chests mod error.
And, then another DeepWoods error. But, there's also an error showing that she doesnt have the Alecto mod installed.
Make sure she installs that.

Log 3:
Lastly, definitely a save error for the upgrading of the Love of Cooking tool. The mod page even has a couple bug reports of this in multiplayer.
There's also some spamming of Minecart Patcher errors toward the end of the log.

--
Y'all may want to make sure you're both on the same versions of those mods. And, try experimenting with temporarily removing some of the mods I mentioned above.
Except for Alecto; that's definitely missing from her Mods directory, and is causing issues.

Blue6erry · Mar 26, 2023

Thank you so much for your help! We actually had a couple of mods that the other didn't have (still managed to have the same number of mods though somehow lol). Alecto is working fine now that she has the mod and we just trashed LoC and Market Day. With all of that being said, I still have a couple of questions for you that you might be able to help solve too.

When we tried to get on (after getting off from a couple of days of no issues), her game was freezing every time she would select her character. I assumed this was because of the SVE cutscene that triggers the night after you give Clint the materials to open up the Summit. I skipped a day and then she was able to log in without issue. Was there a different issue, or was I correct in my assumption?
My log that should cover everything in this post other than her being unable to connect: https://smapi.io/log/2ae48fe0146d4980a1c8a06e79707210
Her logs when trying to join: https://smapi.io/log/5c2bf15c49824bd9be0bab6fc3f8f21b and https://smapi.io/log/c7887027144b4358b44469e27d2c2379

Also, she crashed in the mines again once today https://smapi.io/log/bd9e2bc6c8b14f46948a291e49a9b8be

Thank you so much once again and I really appreciate you helping us out

No prob!

Glad, that fixed most of the issues. On her normal logs; nothing really stands out. It's all just loading up the many, many mods y'all have.
So, I'm not quite sure why it was freezing for her on character select; unless possibly a network issue.
Though it could be potentially be a SDV Expanded cutscene error; I didn't see anything logged for that.

The wiki has some info on chat commands:

Multiplayer - Stardew Valley Wiki

Multiplayer is an optional game mode in which 1–8 players can join the same world through split-screen, over LAN, or by IP address. Multiplayer is available on the PC (Linux/Mac/Windows) and console (PS4/Switch/Xbox One) versions, but not on mobile (iOS/Android) or PS Vita.

stardewvalleywiki.com

One of them being "ping" for a chat command. You can try testing the connection between you two during game.

But, as for your log. The only thing of note that I can tell so far; is I do see a mod called "Let me rest" sending some extra data to her each time she connects.
Nothing broken, but a bit odd.

Code:

17:35:45    TRACE    SMAPI    Received context for farmhand -7600928070256659395 running SMAPI 3.18.2 with 159 mods.

17:35:45    TRACE    Let Me Rest!    Sending important data to farmhand -7600928070256659395.

And, for her crash. It seems to be an issue with Better Chests again; crashing on the mines due to some ChestFinder code it uses.

Code:

Maybe have her try disabling the "Chest Finder" option in the "Better Chests" mod.
