Issue The game won't launch

[Porah_ju]

I tried to start Stardew but this appeared in the smapi log. I'm not sure what this means or what I can do to fix it. If anyone has any ideas pls help.

[game] The game failed to launch: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException: Failed to create graphics device!
---> PlatformNotSupportedException: MonoGame requires either ARB_framebuffer_object or EXT_framebuffer_object.Try updating your graphics drivers.

also, to add, I haven't played Stardew in awhile so everything needed to be updated, including Smapi. idk if I did something wrong while doing so or if that has anything to do with it.

I have been able to fix this problem by reinstalling my graphics driver.

I tried to figure it out myself and it didn't go too well, if you have any info on how that would be greatly appreciated!

What brand of graphic card do you have? Like MSI, Nvidia, etc etc. I could help you.
