Cool, thanks.
Now I can show the world me attempting to milk a sheep.
Great news. This is huge for me. After playing it on PS4 it was awful how much more time it took to save on Switch.

I might be going crazy but I only had rumble using my

Who here also owned this on PC prior to Switch? I stopped playing on Steam after maybe 15 hours. Didn't really hook me long term but thinking maybe the portable nature of the game might be better. Any thoughts?
Been debating on picking this up for a while and looks like now might be a good time.

They had a large patch fix update a few weeks ago which addressed a good amount of glitches including the shrinking man glitch.

Does this patch fix the audio glitch?
Here's the Stardew Valley OT:

Maybe the patch added rumble in handheld mode, however there has been rumble in the docked mode since release. The different horse footfalls dependent on terrain and fishing rumble were highlights.

Yeah, I only play in handheld.
The horse riding didn't have the rumble before now playing that way.
Thanks for clearing that up.
There's a lot of stuff to save. The state of the world doesn't get reset periodically and you can change the state of a ton of tiles. That's more information to write than most games need to in order to save progress.
Hopefully they've fixed the crash at the end of days. Ruined hours of gameplay to me as I'd have to repeat the same groundhog day several times.
It was a holdover from the previous console releases as a counter to a save glitch. The glitch no longer exists and the loading time for saving was left over. Now it's lessened.
yup. But that one was easily avoidable and a non-issue once you had all of your tools fully upgraded
i just recently went back to playing the game, just completed the community center. full hearts with every villager except for Kent, It's almost Winter, year 2 and i'm starting to get super rich.
Definitely going for all the ingame achievements.
None of the fixes really affect me. I play with the sound off, never had lock-ups, wasn't bothered by the save times and avoided the fridge bug. But it's good they're all ironed out now.
Wasn't it more like one minute though? I remember it being quite long but not THAT long.
Anyway, bad timing for me to return to the game with XC2 releasing but good news for whenever I have the time for it.
Edit: yay for fixing the audio issue! I was playing with the music off because it dramatically reduced the crackling.
Uhm, for me it was like 30 seconds.
Which is admittedly long for "saving" (long enough that you might wonder if your system locked up - hence the tooltip on the bottom telling you not to turn off your system), but certainly nowhere close to one or even 20 minutes :/
just checked a let's play
saving starts:
saving done:
I get random skips and stutters in this game so I hope this fixes it. It scared me at first cause I thought it was my actual eyesight fucking up.
I get that, but we're talking about the "loading" (saving, actually) times you get once per ingame day - each of which lasts 13 real time minutes, that is if you don't spend ANY time in menus / your inventory (which pauses the ingame timer). So realistically, we're looking at 20 seconds every 15 minutes, which yes - was certainly 'needlessly' long (compared to other platforms) - but this ain't no Bloodborne, either.
Though it would certainly get more bothersome once you enter the late game, where some tend to just get up, do some farm business, go back to bed, because any other activities (friendships, community center, 'dungeons') have been completed.
