Nov 10, 2020 Can't connect to another player in multiplayer. Check that Stardew Valley is up to date and your save is loaded in co-op mode. Make sure you have enough cabins built for the number of players. Make sure everyone launches the game through Steam or GOG Galaxy (not a separate shortcut). Make sure the server is set to online in the game options.
If you are having technical problems with Stardew Valley on PC, please check the following list for your issue. If you can’t find a solution to the problem, please send an email to [email protected]
My save file is no longer showing up in the Load Game Menu

Stardew Valley is not launching on PC
Here are a few things to try:
Stardew Valley is not launching on Mac
Run the Terminal application (if you’re not sure how, click the magnifying glass in the top right, type Terminal, and select the first result). In the window that appears, paste in the following line (CHANGE “USER” to your username) and press enter:
sudo chown -v “$USER” ~/.config
This should correct the ownership of a folder that Stardew Valley needs to write under.
You’ll probably be prompted for your password by the above command, and then it’ll output something like /Users/yournamehere/.config. Try running Stardew Valley again, and hopefully it’ll work this time.
Can’t find friends’ farms in multiplayer, or the “Enter Invite Code” button not showing up.
This will happen if you’re not running from Steam or GOG (i.e. you’re running a standalone version of the game). To fix this, make sure you’re running the game from Steam or GOG.
This can also happen if you’re behind a firewall that is specifically blocking connections to gaming addresses. Check your firewall settings to ensure that Stardew Valley, or gaming services like Steam or GOG are not being blocked. Check the settings on any internet security products you are using, like OpenDNS, as well.

There’s no sound
Please make sure that you have an audio device plugged in and enabled. If you’re on Windows, right click on the speaker icon in the system tray in the bottom right corner of the screen, and select “open volume mixer”. Make sure that Stardew Valley is not muted and is within an audible volume range.
