A significant game-breaking bug has emerged in the Xbox version of Stardew Valley, impacting players on Christmas Eve. Developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has confirmed the issue and assured fans a swift fix is underway. The problem stems from a recent patch intended to support the console and mobile release of Update 1.6.
Released in 2016, Stardew Valley is a beloved farming simulator where players cultivate a life in Pelican Town. Update 1.6, launched in November for consoles and mobile, introduced substantial new content, including endgame features, dialogue, mechanics, and items. However, a subsequent patch inadvertently introduced a critical flaw.
Reports on Reddit pinpoint the culprit: Fish Smokers. Interacting with a placed Fish Smoker in the latest Xbox version triggers a game crash, rendering the game unplayable.
