Stardew Valley Suffering From Major Problem on Xbox

Stardew Valley's Xbox Version Hit by Critical Crash Bug; Emergency Patch Incoming

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. This element was introduced in Update 1.6. The recent minor patch, designed to address other issues, appears to be the source of this new problem.
