Stardew Valley's Xbox Version Hit by Game-Crashing Bug
A significant bug impacting the Xbox version of Stardew Valley emerged on Christmas Eve, causing widespread game crashes. Developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has confirmed the issue and assured players 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 new 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 introduced an unexpected consequence.
The culprit appears to be the Fish Smoker, a feature added in Update 1.6. According to Reddit reports, interacting with a placed Fish Smoker in the latest Xbox version triggers a complete game crash. ConcernedApe has acknowledged the issue and is prioritizing an emergency fix.
