Weird Stardew Valley Glitch Makes Player’s House Disappear

A Stardew Valley player has experienced an extremely weird glitch that has made their entire home disappear. The odd moment maybe connected to a recent patch that was released for Stardew Valley.

While the majority of the game has remained playable and enjoyable, Stardew Valley has been experiencing some bugs in recent times. Developer ConcernedApe has been hard at work figuring out what’s behind the bugs and releasing patches to fix them, but some of the patches have also either caused or failed to fix some bugs in the game. This particular bug seems to have happened following installing a recent patch for Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley Meets Baldur’s Gate 3 in this New Mod

After several months of development, the Baldur’s Gate 3-inspired mod for Stardew Valley that adds themed content to the latter game is available.

Reddit user Chase2543 has shared their odd discovery that their house has vanished on their farm, with a blank black box taking up the space where it should be. Chase2543 is playing the Switch version of Stardew Valley, and notably updated the title just before this bug appeared. The house is actually still there, technically, but its visual appearance makes it look like a void has consumed it. Chase2543 explained that if they carefully skirt around the house, they can actually find the door and enter it, so thankfully, the necessary functionality in the game of going to sleep for the night isn’t completely gone. However, in addition to throwing off the appearance of their farm, it could make getting into the house difficult in a rush, like when one is hurrying back just before the 2 am nightly cut-off.

Stardew Valley Players Ponder Odd Visual Bug

Players seem to be in agreement that this bug likely has something to do with the recent Switch Stardew Valley patch that came out, but it doesn’t seem that many have experienced it. However, plenty of fans have taken the opportunity to make jokes about the scene. Some have mused that Mayor Lewis took the house since players don’t pay taxes, or that Pierre stole the house to sell it in his store. Others teased that the player must have done something to upset the spirits, while some joked that they had personally borrowed the player’s house.

For the moment, there doesn’t seem to be a known fix for this particular issue. Stardew Valley fans on the Nintendo Switch who haven’t updated the game yet might choose to put it off, but the most recent patch did fix some bugs that could crash the game. It’s ultimately up to the player, but the risk of facing a graphical glitch like this may be preferable to having to avoid parts of the game that aren’t working properly.
