ConcernedApe posted on Twitter to update fans that the Stardew Valley patch tackling the divorce crash and raccoon shop is "still in the pipeline." Although no exact release date was given for the Switch update, the developer confirmed it will be out as soon as possible. After the 1.6 update went live, several players encountered these and other problems, which were later fixed on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Around Christmas, ConcernedApe tweeted that the Switch patch was being developed, and now, nearly three weeks later, it seems almost ready.
Nintendo Switch Patch for Stardew Valley Fixing Divorce Crash and Raccoon Shop Is Arriving Soon
Stardew Valley's major 1.6 update launched for PC in March, introducing a wealth of new features. The update expanded NPC dialogue with unique gift reactions, added a new farm type called Meadowlands Farm, and brought in additional festivals and events. Visual refinements were also part of the update, including waterfalls, festive decorations, and seasonal map changes.
While update 1.6 fixed numerous gameplay glitches, later patches inadvertently caused new ones. The console and mobile versions received update 1.6 in November, but players soon spotted various issues, including some major crashes. An emergency fix was deployed for the mobile version on November 15, as the developer continued addressing problems on other platforms.
The Stardew Valley community appreciates ConcernedApe's transparent communication and quick action in responding to player feedback. Although the Switch patch that resolves the divorce crash and raccoon shop isn't live yet, players can trust that the developer is pushing to release it promptly.
