The new Stardew Valley update brought a lot of exciting new content to the beloved farming simulator. However, along with the new content, crashes are also being encountered by certain players on the Stardew Valley 1.6.4 update. These crashes can happen due to outdated SMAPI, corrupted files, or outdated mods.
If you are facing game crashes, then this article could help you fix your Stardew Valley update 1.6.4 crashing issues by offering four possible solutions.
NOTE: The solutions to Stardew Valley update 1.6.4 crashing mentioned in this article need not necessarily work for everyone. However, it is worth trying until the developers release an official patch.
How to fix Stardew Valley update 1.6.4 crashing issues
1. Update SMAPI for Stardew Valley
If you use mods in Stardew Valley, you might have an outdated SMAPI version installed on your PC. This older version may be incompatible with the current Stardew Valley update, leading to crashes. Therefore, updating SMAPI can potentially fix these crashes.
Here's how to update SMAPI:
- Close Stardew Valley and exit Steam.
- Download the latest SMAPI version from the official website and navigate to the location where you have downloaded it.
- Extract the downloaded files into your Stardew Valley directory. You can access this directory by going to your Steam library, right-clicking on Stardew Valley, and selecting browse local files.
- After pasting the files, launch Stardew Valley as usual. SMAPI should automatically update itself.
- After updating SMAPI, try running Stardew Valley again to see if the crashes persist.
2. Remove mods from Stardew Valley
As mentioned earlier, incompatible mods for Stardew Valley 1.6.4 can cause the game to crash. If updating SMAPI doesn’t work, try running the game without any mods.
Here's how to remove mods:
- Navigate to your Stardew Valley directory. You can access this directory by going to your Steam library, right-clicking on Stardew Valley, and selecting browse local files.
- Locate the Mods folder within the Stardew Valley directory.
- Move the Mods folder to a different location on your computer or simply rename it. Doing so will create a backup in case you wish to use mods again.
- Now launch Stardew Valley.
If Stardew Valley runs without crashing after removing the mods, you can be certain a mod conflict was causing the issue. If that is the case, you'll need to wait for the mod author to provide an update before you can use the mod again.
3. Verify file integrity
If the above solutions don’t work, you can try verifying the integrity of your game files. This process checks for any missing or corrupted files and replaces them if issues are found.
Here's how to verify file integrity on Steam:
- Launch the Steam client and navigate to your Steam library.
- Right-click on Stardew Valley and select "Properties."
- Click on the "Local Files" tab.
- Select "Verify integrity of game files..." and Steam will automatically verify the files.
If the verification process fixes any corrupted files, launch Stardew Valley again and see if the issues are fixed.
3. Reinstall the game
The last resort can be to reinstall Stardew Valley. Do note that reinstalling might erase your saved data.
Here's how to reinstall Stardew Valley update 1.6.4:
- Head to your Steam library, right-click on Stardew Valley, then click manage, and simply click uninstall to remove Stardew Valley from your PC.
- After uninstalling, reinstall Stardew Valley from your Steam library by clicking install.
- After that, launch the game and see if the crashing issue has been resolved.
Hopefully, you’ll be able to fix Stardew Valley update 1.6.4 crashing issues with the methods mentioned above. However, if none of these solutions work, consider contacting Stardew Valley support or wait for a potential hotfix update by the developers.
