How to fix Stardew Valley's funky frame-rate issues

Stardew Valley is a superb indie game that caters to a vibrant community of virtual farmers and dungeon explorers.

The game revolves around you inheriting and building up a neglected farm. Unfortunately, there's an issue you may encounter that causes slight Frame-Per-Second (FPS) drops at seemingly random intervals. But fear not. There's an easy fix that will get you back to your crops in no time.

Reinstall XNA

The problem has been narrowed down to Microsoft's XNA framework. You can reinstall the suite to see if that solves the issue and gets gameplay back to smooth levels. Here's how.

1. Hit Windows Key + Q to bring up Cortana.
2. Search "Add or Remove Programs".
3. Choose the top result. (It should match your query.)

4. Scroll down to the "Microsoft XNA" listing.

   

5. Select the program.
6. Hit "Modify".
7. Select the "Repair" option in the wizard.

Relaunch Stardew Valley and see if that solved your problem. If not, try to import a working configuration for XNA.
