Stardew Valley's Nintendo Switch Update: Addressing Divorce Crash and Raccoon Shop Issues
ConcernedApe, the developer of Stardew Valley, has confirmed that a Nintendo Switch patch addressing critical bugs, specifically the game-breaking divorce crash and issues with the raccoon shop, is imminent. While these problems have already been resolved across PC, mobile, and other console platforms, the Switch version's patch is undergoing final development.
The highly anticipated patch follows the release of the substantial 1.6 update, which introduced a wealth of new content, including expanded NPC interactions, the Meadowlands Farm, and enhanced seasonal visuals. However, subsequent patches inadvertently introduced these new bugs. While a swift fix addressed mobile issues, the Switch version has required more extensive development.
ConcernedApe's recent social media posts reassure players that the patch is "coming as soon as possible," though a precise release date remains unannounced. The developer's transparent communication and rapid response to player concerns have been widely praised by the Stardew Valley community. Players can expect the resolution of the divorce crash and raccoon shop problems in the near future. The ongoing commitment to patching and improving the game across all platforms demonstrates ConcernedApe's dedication to the player base.
