Eric Barone, also known as ConcernedApe, has been hard at work on supporting Stardew Valley with updates. The game is still receiving new content on all platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, even though the game originally released 9 years ago. In fact, the Switch version of the game was recently updated to version 1.6.
A week ago, it was even updated to version 1.6.15.1. Unfortunately though, that small patch ended up causing garbled text and some crashes whenever you would interact with artifact troves. However, as of yesterday, that is no longer the case. ConcernedApe has confirmed that “the switch patch to fix the last switch patch is available now”. You can see ConceredApe’s social media announcement post about the matter down below.
