Platform: iOS – Stardew Valley Mobile
Device: Apple iPhone 12
iOS Version: 18
Game Version: Latest
Save Type: Local save (not transferred/modded)
Reproduction Rate: Intermittent (occurs after ~1 hour of gameplay)


Description:
I’ve been experiencing a recurring issue with the mobile version of Stardew Valley on my iPhone 12. After roughly one hour of continuous gameplay, the game crashes without any warning or specific action triggering it. This happens regardless of what I’m doing in-game—farming, mining, interacting with NPCs, etc.

The crash sends me straight back to my phone's home screen, and I have to reload the game from my last auto-save. There’s no error message or freeze; the game just closes instantly.

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Load any save file.
  2. Play normally for around 45–60 minutes.
  3. Game crashes unexpectedly, usually without performing any specific action
What I’ve Tried:
  • Restarting the device.
  • Closing background apps.
  • Playing on low brightness and no sound to minimize load.
  • Verifying there are no background updates running.
  • Making sure there are no mods or save file transfers.
Request:
Would love to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue and if there’s a workaround. Devs, if you need any logs or more details, I’m happy to provide them!
Thanks for all the amazing work on the mobile port—just hoping this issue can be resolved soon so I can enjoy the game without interruptions!
