Hi everyone, I just downloaded and installed Stardew Valley on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. I used the wizard, which worked, and changed permissions on start.sh to be able to run it.

When I run start.sh (or game/StardewValley), it says "running Stardew Valley" but then encounters a fatal error before anything gets displayed. Here is the error message:
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Console' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.ConsoleDriver' threw an exception. ---> System.Exception: Magic number is wrong: 542

Anyone here knows what is missing or what I should do? Thank you very much for any help :)

Hello,

I had exactly the same issue on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
To get the game running, type this command in the terminal:

export TERM=xterm && ~/GOG\ Games/Stardew\ Valley/start.sh

Cant even remember where i found this tweak, but this should work ! ;-)

I had a similar issue with Stardew Valley segfaulting ( Linux, stardew_valley_1_5_5_1860937376_52037 ).

I have Japanese IME installed (fcitx+anthy) which somehow causes Stardew Valley 1.5.5 to segfault (1.5.4 was fine). Disabling IME (unsetting environment variables GTK_IM_MODULE, QT_IM_MODULE, XMODIFIERS) for Stardew Valley helped.

No other issues so far.

If you run the game using Lutris just go into System Options and change locale to English US UTF8 and the problem will be solved
