A significant bug impacting the Xbox version of Stardew Valley has emerged, causing widespread game crashes on Christmas Eve. Developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has confirmed the issue and is working on an urgent fix. The problem, linked to the recently added Fish Smokers in Update 1.6, triggers a complete game crash upon interaction.
Released in 2016, Stardew Valley is a beloved farming simulator. Update 1.6, launched on PC in March and on consoles/mobile in November, introduced substantial new content including endgame features, dialogue, mechanics, and items. However, a subsequent patch intended for minor bug fixes inadvertently introduced this critical flaw for Xbox users.
Reports on Reddit pinpoint the Fish Smoker, a feature introduced in Update 1.6, as the culprit. Interacting with a placed Fish Smoker causes an immediate and complete game crash, rendering the game unplayable for affected players.
ConcernedApe's reputation for swiftly addressing bugs is well-established. His prompt acknowledgment and promise of an emergency patch have been met with gratitude from the community. This follows a pattern of rapid bug fixes for other unusual glitches in Update 1.6. He has previously committed to ongoing updates for Stardew Valley, including quality-of-life improvements, bug fixes, and new content.
The community's appreciation for ConcernedApe's transparent communication and dedication to providing free updates is evident. Players are patiently awaiting the upcoming patch to resolve the Xbox Fish Smoker issue and any other accompanying improvements. Fans are encouraged to stay informed for further updates regarding the patch release.
