Stardew Valley Switch Patch Update

Summary

• ConcernedApe is addressing the divorce crash and raccoon shop glitches in Stardew Valley's Nintendo Switch version.
• A Nintendo Switch patch resolving these issues is coming "as soon as possible."
• These problems are already fixed on PC, console, and mobile platforms.

Stardew Valley developer, ConcernedApe, recently announced on social media that a Nintendo Switch patch addressing the game-breaking divorce crash and raccoon shop bugs is on its way. While these issues have been resolved on PC, mobile, and other consoles, the Switch update is still under development.

Since its 2016 release, Stardew Valley has received numerous updates, consistently adding new content and squashing bugs reported by its dedicated community. This latest patch addresses persistent problems that emerged after a major update.

ConcernedApe confirmed on Twitter that the patch fixing the divorce crash and raccoon shop issues is "still coming," though no specific release date has been given. The developer assures players it will be released as soon as possible. These issues, among others, appeared after the launch of update 1.6, and while resolved on other platforms, the Switch version's fix has been in development for nearly 20 days.

Stardew Valley Switch Patch: Fixing Divorce Crash and Raccoon Shop

Stardew Valley's substantial update 1.6, released on PC in March, introduced a wealth of new content, including personalized gift reactions from NPCs, the Meadowlands Farm, and new festivals and events. Visual improvements, such as enhanced waterfalls, holiday decorations, and seasonal map variations, were also included.

However, subsequent patches unintentionally introduced new problems. While update 1.6 reached consoles and mobile in November, several issues, including game-breaking bugs, were quickly reported. A swift emergency patch addressed mobile issues on November 15th, while fixes for other platforms continued.

The Stardew Valley community appreciates ConcernedApe's transparent communication and rapid response to player concerns. Although the Switch patch for the divorce crash and raccoon shop isn't yet available, the developer's commitment to a timely release offers reassurance.
