Eric “Concerned Ape” Barone announced the Stardew Valley 1.6.1. update is on the way and shared early patch notes for it. There is no new content in it, as it is all about fixing new issues that popped up.
Many of the issues stop the game either from crashing or not working as expected. For example, crashes tied to the Junimo harvester, farmhand, and animal page will stop happening. There will also be issues that went awry, like the egg quest text or telephone robin house upgrade, that will now work properly.
Here are the full patch notes for the upcoming Stardew Valley 1.6.1 update.
- Fixed botched German egg quest text (for new players going forward).
- Prevent animal page from crashing when clicking on the scroll bar when there are a low number of animals.
- Fix Junimo harvester in save crash.
- Fix Meadowlands farm quest persisting if the farm icon was selected, but then another farm was started.
- Fixed the telephone robin house upgrade question being malformed.
- Improved cases where the quest title would go off the edge of the quest log.
- Fixed eyebrow accessory looking weird when fishing.
- Don’t allow clipboard to be set to a null string.
- Fixed crash when farmhand re-connects to town during green rain (and potentially other related crashes).
- Fixed several map tile issues and places where forage could spawn out of bounds.
These complement the full patch notes for 1.6, which appeared on the day the update debuted. Those went over all the new items, new festivals, and new farm type.
Stardew Valley is available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PCs, mobile devices, and the PlayStation Vita. The 1.6.1 update is live for PCs.
