Stardew Valley News

Hi everyone,

The beta for French, Turkish, Italian, Hungarian and Korean is here. If you speak any of those languages, and want to help me find bugs, typos, or even just give feedback on the new text, it would be a big favor and I'd really appreciate it!

To access the current beta version of Stardew Valley:

• Right click on Stardew Valley in your games library and select "Properties"
  
• Click the "Betas" tab
  
• Click the drop down menu and select "beta" (no password is necessary)
  
• Steam will download the beta version. Stardew Valley should now have a [beta] tag in your library.
  

While it's very unlikely that playing the beta version will threaten your save files, I recommend backing them up anyway. Your save files can be found in the "%appdata%/StardewValley/Saves" folder (on PC).

If you have any feedback or bug reports, please use this thread on the Stardew Valley Subreddit.


Patch notes for v1.3.35 (beta):

• Added French, Turkish, Italian, and Korean languages
  
• Added a new Credits menu to replace the "About" menu on the title screen
  
• Removed the /credits command from the chat box
  
• Removed unnecessary map files
  

Update on Feb 2nd:

• Added Hungarian language
  
• Trying out a different font for Korean
  

Thanks for your help & thanks for playing Stardew Valley!

Hi everyone,

There's a very small patch going live today, which fixes a couple of bugs and improves performance in certain situations:

Changes:
*Improved performance in locations with lots of light sources (e.g. torches).
*Improved performance on farms with lots of animals.
*Tweaked new "H" health icon.

Bug fixes:
*Fixed multiplayer visual glitch when another player uses a tool and then starts moving in a new direction.
*Fixed "fishing stance" visual glitches in multiplayer.

Just wanted to let you know. There will also be a beta for the new languages (French, Korean, Turkish, Italian, and possibly one more) soon. I'm also working on a new free content update (1.4) as well, which should be ready some time in the next few months.

Thanks for playing Stardew Valley!
