Stardew Valley Update 1.6.5: What's New?

Highlights

  • Stardew Valley's 1.6.5 update addresses crashes in the mines and NPC issues caused by mods, enhancing player experience.
  • Continued support from ConcernedApe ensures ongoing bug fixes and updates for Stardew Valley, paving the way for future console and mobile releases.
  • While the multiplayer expansion remains exclusive to PC, other features from the 1.6 update will be accessible across all platforms.

Stardew Valley has rolled out the 1.6.5 update, accompanied by detailed patch notes highlighting the recent changes. This update follows a series of game enhancements introduced since the major 1.6 content update in March.

The 1.6 update for Stardew Valley was substantial, introducing fresh content, events, dialogues, and more to the beloved farming simulation. Despite fans eagerly anticipating ConcernedApe's upcoming title, Haunted Chocolatier, the developer remains dedicated to refining Stardew Valley by addressing bugs and introducing new elements.

Unlike previous updates that surprised players with additional content like new mine layouts, the focus of this update is rectifying bugs in both the original and modded versions of the game.

Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone announced the latest update on Steam, outlining the fixes implemented in the 1.6.5 patch. This patch resolves issues in the game's mines that previously caused crashes when loading certain dark levels. Furthermore, it addresses a persistent problem from the 1.6.4 update where modded game versions would crash or fail to load saves due to corrupted villager NPCs. To fix this, the patch removes the broken NPCs until they are reintegrated into the game's data.

Given the scale of the 1.6 update, encountering glitches and bugs is somewhat expected. These patches not only ensure a seamless gaming experience but also set the foundation for forthcoming console and mobile updates. While the release dates for these updates remain undisclosed, the developer has assured players of ongoing development efforts and prompt releases. Resolving these issues on the PC version proactively mitigates potential problems when players on platforms like PlayStation and Switch receive the 1.6 Stardew Valley update.

For eager players awaiting the update on other platforms, it's important to note that one significant feature from the PC release will be absent. The multiplayer expansion in version 1.6, enabling up to eight players to join concurrently, will not be included in the console and mobile updates. However, all other enhancements from the update are expected to be available across all platforms.
