My brother-in-law just got a new computer and was excited that he again has a device functional enough to play Stardew, so we just started a new farm. This is the third farm I’ve played with him and we’ve never yet made it to Winter year 1 (together) as differing schedules always eventually get in the way. Going back to the beginning is grindy, but also a nice change of pace.
If it’s their original thought, or I’m including their comment on the thing they shared, then I include the username.
If they’ve just reposted an image with no extra commentary, I only share the image and not where I found it. Since “where I found it” is not the original source, no attribution is necessary imho.
I was having a similar problem with another game, and I had a similar desire to learn general troubleshooting rather than have someone give me a specific fix. That said, I don’t know if I can help because for me it’s basically butt my head against a wall until I poke something enough that it works - usually I don’t know enough to understand why the thing works.
I was installing my games onto a secondary drive. The problem turned out to be that that drive had been formatted by Windows back when my computer was set up to dual-boot. Some games still ran fine in Linux, but this particular game nothing would happen when I clicked Play. On a whim I tried installing it on the primary drive with the OS, and it worked first time. So there was something about that game that didn’t work with the drive formatting.
(I’ve since reformatted the second hard drive so that everything should now play nice with Linux, now that I no longer have Windows. Game is fine now.)
Thanks!
Speed and luck are definitely stats I often overlook. I’ll try to make use of them.
I just picked up my old farm on Switch, now that Switch has the 1.6 update. Always takes me a while to get back into the swing of a farm when I haven’t looked at it for a while.
Need to grit my teeth and dive to the bottom of the Skull Cavern. I’ve never made it in any of my farms. Any tips?
