Added troubleshooting steps for launching with SteamLink
Line 407: Line 407:     
You probably have a pet named the same thing as an NPC in the game, most likely a modded NPC (both reported instances have been Stardew Valley Expanded NPC names). Save editing to remove your pet may help, but is tricky and difficult. Narrowing down the cause of this issue has been somewhat difficult. You can try naming the pet something other than the name of an NPC, or rejecting the pet, and see if that helps, but you may end up with multiple pets.

==Game screen is frozen when launched via SteamLink or other Steam RemotePlay==

; solution - from PC
 +
# Launch SDV via SMAPI's StardewModdingAPI
 +
# The cmd will open and show logging information about loading... and then it will launch SDV
 +
# Once SDV is launched you need to [alt]+[tab] out of it. It should go to cmd once you do, but if it doesn't immediately select cmd, simple select that window
 +
# Click the minimize button [-] on cmd to minimize it
 +
# With cmd now minimized, you can refocus SDV by clicking the window and it should now be unfrozen!
 +
 +
; solution - from controller connected to SteamLink
 +
# Launch SDV via SMAPI's StardewModdingAPI
 +
# The cmd will open and show logging information about loading... and then it will launch SDV
 +
# Once SDV is launched, the screen will appear frozen. Hold down the left "options-like" button on your controller to open the SteamLink quick menu.
 +
#* On an Xbox controller, this is the "Back" button
 +
#* On a PlayStation controller, this is the "Share" button
 +
#* On a Steam controller, this is the "Left Arrow" button
 +
# In this menu, select the "Virtual Keyboard" option to reveal an onscreen keyboard
 +
# Select the `[alt]` key and then the `[tab]` key. This will Alt-Tab you out of the frozen SDV screen and auto-focus the cmd window.
 +
# With the cmd now revealed and focused, on the still visible "Virtual Keyboard" select the "Windows" key and then the "down arrow" key. This should minimize the cmd window
 +
#* The "Windows" key is in the bottom-left side of the keyboard and looks like it has 4 arrows/triangle icons on it.
 +
# When cmd minimizes SDV should automatically be refocused and should now be unfrozen!
