Player sprite turning into black rectangle after loading save

[Jmarc96]

Im using Stardew Valley v1.31 and SMAPI 0.8.8. Playing this on an Honor 8x. No problem starting and loading mods but whenever i exit the game and load my saves the player sprite will always turn into a black rectangle or just a mess of random tiles. Changing maps or sleeping to the next day won't fix it.

Loading the saves on the original game has no problems. Only when i load it with the SMAPI version that it happens.

This is a bizarre error that is related to Huawei and Honor Phones with a notch. If you have the notch set to "hidden" try to unhide it and see if that fixes the problem.

I thought I might've fixed it in 0.8.8 but I guess not!

I don't hide the notch on my phone but i did try to play with and without the notch and the bug is there. I did find a workaround to the problem tho.

I downloaded the kisekae mod from Nexus Mods and it fixed the bug for me.

Oh interesting, that mod shouldn't work. Weird how it fixes it. I'm going to leave this issue open until I can track down this issue and fix it.
