Switch Update 1.6 causing crash on Switch for split screen

[SakuraMiru]

My crash is more of if I get Clint to open the gold octogon treasure box. I was so upset

The game has these bugs/crashes for these actions for split screen multiplayer-

1. When a bomb is placed, the game crashes.
2. When player is in the mines, sometimes, the animations in the mines will freeze (rocks will freeze when broken and enemies won't move) , forcing the player to exit the mines.
3. Game will crash at the end of the day (this has occured the most for us)
4. 1x, player 2 opened their journal and the game crashed.

Over the course of 7hrs of playing split screen co-op, the game probably crashed 1x per hour. Now, there's always been a little bit of lag in split screen co-op, but it's never bothered me or my partner. Just wanted to bring this to Concerned Apes attention so he knew what was going on :-) despite the crashing, I still am obsessed with Stardew and will continue playing! I know it'll eventually be fixed! :-)

This was happening to me and I tried switching game data from memory card to the switch and it didn't happen since then.

Hi, I have had similar issues with crashing. I’m also playing on Switch. This is more frequent when playing split co-op with my partner. Hope they come out with a fix soon. It’s so frustrating to reset a day because of a crash. This happened more than 10 times already

Did you managed to resolve the issue with the inconsistent money at the end of the day? Me and my fiancee had to gave up our Y4 farm because of all of this. The money issue, the mine rocks bug, all of it. Recently I got a NS2 and we decided to restart a new farm on it, now I'm afraid of having those issues again on our new save.

Writing to update on a few things.

By the end of Y2 and into Y3, we noticed:
- lag/performance dips increased steadily and happen frequently. We have a pretty robust farm with lots of things going on, and I'm guessing that's driving some of this.
- Crashes now happen at variable points in the day, so it's been a constant concern and frustration we have had to work with.
- We also noticed that our money totals at the end of the day are different even though we have a shared everything and aren't splitting funds, etc. I'm not sure if that's due to us taking different skill level bonuses but neither of us could recall seeing different money totals before.
- Our pets disappeared completely, as discussed here: https://forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/pets-missing.34262/

My wife and I noticed this as well. We’re pretty sure it’s because we were selling through the mini shipping bin from the quality crops bundle from Pierre. We think if you sell through the mini bin it only applies to the person who received that specific bin through their mailbox. I hope this helps.

Playing split screen we are experiencing lags when game loads a new zone and occasional crushes on switch too.

Also we played the game split screen till year 3 on PS4 with no crashes, but some lag in volcano cave when there is a lot of going on.

Will try relaunching the game every few days, thanks for the suggestion
