Xbox Volcano cave loop bug

[credmaxing]

Hi, currently experiencing an issue when playing local co-op where by the second player is unable to progress through the volcano cave on ginger island. It loops the first area several times before reaching a zone containing blue larva that isn't crossable. I can see it's overlapping the dwarf area of the cave where you buy items.

I've noticed that if player 1 first progresses through the cave, the levels load fine for the second player. The same looping issue occurs if you skip to the forge room as the second player and work backwards through the cave.

Kind regards

- Xbox - v1.6
- Local Co-op

Blue larvae or lava?? Either way that’s weird. If you can replicate it could you send a screenshot or a video? (for Xbox you can also send a link to the video or shot using the app)

Hi, I'm having the same issue on switch.

So on ginger island in the volcano the second player loops through the same cave map for every level (the entrance map) with less monsters, level 5 has an uncrossable lake and the dwarf is inside the wall.

Restarting the game and the switch did not help.

If there's any more info you need, just tell me. :)
Kind regards!

Does anyone have a fix for this yet? I’m having the same issue and it’s making me want to avoid ginger island altogether on the new patch. If there’s any insight please let me know! (Playing on PS5 now, had no issues with 1.6 on PC)

Having the same issue on Switch 1.6, local multiplayer!

I’m having the same issue with a local co-op on PS5 (v 1.6). As the secondary player, the volcano floors loop through the first floor until I reach floor 5, at which point there is a blue river I cannot cross.

Same issue on switch. Tested it last night, works fine if player 1 goes through the doors first but if player 2 goes first the game crashes or loops (both happened last night). It crashed when player 2 entered the volcano without player 1 (I was on the island but they beat me to the volcano entrance), as well when they went through level 8 door first. It looped once when they went through the level 4 door first but corrected when they came back and I went through.

Same issue on Switch local co op as well. Tried both going forwards and backwards (start at forge, go backwards). Same exact level , even from backwards direction the dwarf from lvl 5 is unreachable. Hope it's patched soon, I need stuff in the cave :')

I’m having this issue too - exact same, second player unable to proceed unless first player goes through in front. On Xbox, version 1.6. Anyone found a fix?

Hello - I just want to chime in to continue traction on this post. I'm having this same issue on xbox. I'm player 2 and no matter if I go in through the front entrance or forge entrance I have looping levels. Then I hit a river that's blue instead of lava too. If my partner and I go in at the same time it has made the exits break for me.

Having this issue as well on Xbox. It's frustrating that all dungeons (mines, volcano and skull cavern) are all broken in one way or another. Pretty much ruins the game.

Yes, this is starting to become very frustrating. I bought it (again) on Switch to play split screen multiplayer, and the game has been literally unplayable for months now. I understand it is a single developer (except maybe console porting?) and I'm not saying we need a fix for this today or yesterday, but I have yet to see it acknowledged at all. It's not listed as a known bug and I've heard no mention of it even being looked at?

As I understand it, the bug is known and it has already been fixed on PC with the patches. They are at 1.6.15 and Xbox is still at 1.6.9. Those annoying bugs will likely be fixed when ConcernedApe and his team (he has other developers helping with the ports) are able to rolled out the patches for consoles to catch up with the PC patches.
His latest tweets on the subject, december 20th : https://x.com/ConcernedApe/status/1870177483942965637. So it can be very frustrating at the moment, but all we can do is be patient.

Stardew Valley 1.6.15 is now available on PC, Android, and iOS. Patches will continue to roll out to consoles as soon as possible until they are in sync with 1.6.15 PC.
Just to clarify for console players, there are additional console-specific issues that are not listed here, but will be fixed in upcoming console patches. For example, the raccoon shop bug and the divorce crash.
