Copy everything from the start of that fragment to the very end of the file.Д¤. In the working save file, ctrl+f search for the fragment you just copied. You should find something like (вЂњJojaMartвЂќ could be something different, like вЂњTownвЂќ or вЂњFarmвЂќ). Press ctrl+f to bring up the search window. In your corrupt file, move the text cursor to the very bottom of the file.Дў. I highly recommend you make backups of both files before proceeding.ДЎ.

If the last text you find is not вЂњвЂќ, then your save file is partially missing. Therefore the problem must be a corrupt SaveGameInfo file (please skip ahead to the section labeled вЂњCorrupt SaveGameInfoвЂќ). If the last text in the file is вЂњвЂќ, then your save file is fully in-tact. If the file is not blank, then at least part of your save file is in-tact and therefore recoverable. Open your characterвЂ™s save file (File #1 above) in notepad (it might a few seconds to load). If that still doesnвЂ™t work, or youвЂ™d rather not lose one day of progress, proceed. If your characterвЂ™s save folder contains the two files with вЂњ_oldвЂќ at the end, and youвЂ™re okay with losing one day of progress, you can try removing вЂњ_oldвЂќ from the filenames and reloading your game. You can create a folder called вЂњbackupвЂќ in the StardewValley folder and place your backup in there. I recommend making a backup of your characterвЂ™s folder, because the next steps require you to make edits to the files. The backup save file is always one day behind the actual save file (in-game progress). Files 3 and 4 are backups made by the game in version 1.07 and later. File #2 (SaveGameInfo) is only used by the вЂњLoad GameвЂќ menu. It contains all the data that the game needs to load your character. (optional) A file named вЂњSaveGameInfoвЂќ with an вЂњ_oldвЂќ appended to the end.ДЇile #1 is your actual save file. (optional) A file with the same name as the folder, with an вЂњ_oldвЂќ appended to the end.ДЇile #4. A file with exactly the same name as the folder.ДЇile #3. Verify that the folder contains the following files:ДЇile #1. If the folder doesnвЂ™t exist, check the Recycling Bin or your antivirus softwareвЂ™s quarantine list.

Verify that a folder exists with your characterвЂ™s name (the folder will be called followed by an underscore and a bunch of random-looking numbers). Open File Explorer and navigate to the %appdata%/StardewValley/Saves folder. If it still doesnвЂ™t work, we need to dig a little deeper. Exit Steam ( File > Exit ) and relaunch as administrator (right-click the steam icon, select вЂњRun As AdministratorвЂќ). Or, continue with the guide and try the other fixes:Д¤. You can try taking a break from Stardew for one day and coming back to it. Sometimes, people report that their save file problems fix themselves after a day or so (it sounds odd, but there are logical explanations for this). If not, switch users and try loading your file again.Дў.
