Stardew Valley Hotfix 1.6.10: ConcernedApe Quickly Resolves Crashes and Bugs After Major Update

Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has released a hotfix to address several unexpected issues that emerged with the launch of Stardew Valley's Update 1.6.9. The highly anticipated Update 1.6 was recently made available for consoles and mobile devices, and version 1.6.9 was simultaneously rolled out across all platforms. However, players soon encountered unusual bugs, including crashes, prompting ConcernedApe to swiftly release a 1.6.10 hotfix to resolve these issues.

Originally launched in 2016, Stardew Valley has become a beloved farming life-simulation game, achieving massive popularity. The Update 1.6 release on PC in March boosted the game’s player count significantly. However, as the major content updates were launched for consoles and mobile, some players encountered unfortunate issues following the 1.6.9 patch. ConcernedApe has promptly reassured fans by addressing these errors with a quick patch.

ConcernedApe has confirmed that the hotfix for Update 1.6.9, specifically patch 1.6.10, will fix multiple crash issues and a problem causing chickens to disappear. Shortly after the release of Update 1.6.9, ConcernedApe acknowledged a recurring issue with the Meadowlands chicken coop and shared that he was actively working on a solution, gathering further feedback from fans. Hotfix 1.6.10 addresses the chicken coop glitch, stabilizes random crashes, and includes localization improvements for French and russian translations. Additionally, certain changes to modding from 1.6.9 have been reverted. Update 1.6.10 is currently live for PC on Steam and GOG, with other platforms expected to receive the patch “very soon.”

Fans have praised ConcernedApe’s quick response, allowing players to enjoy the new content with minimal disruption. Many have commended the effort required to deploy hotfixes across multiple platforms, especially as patch 1.6.10 arrived the same day Update 1.6 became available on consoles and mobile. ConcernedApe has assured fans he will continue to monitor feedback and release further updates as needed, and players are encouraged to stay tuned for more future fixes.

Stardew Valley remains a staple of the life-simulation genre, and its reputation as one of the best indie games of all time is well-earned. Between significant content expansions and quick bug resolutions, players continue to find plenty to enjoy in Stardew Valley.
