PC [HELP] Game Crash while saving

[Terramine]

I am helping a friend, so can't be too descriptive
The game has been crashing while entering the bed and saving. Seems like the crash is not constant and can be delayed by, for example, going to bed right in the morning
The crash has occured both through 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 and on different farms without corrupting the saves
I have a feeling that it's not the game's issue specifically, but still need help understanding the error logs
Here's the said log:

Have you tried out doing these things -

• Delete the startup_preferences file in %AppData%/StardewValley
• Go into the game file directly (you can find this by right clicking game in steam library > properties > local files > browse local files...) and then into the folder titled “_CommonRedist”, then “XNA”, then “4.0”, then “xnafx40_redist” installer. Once there, run the installer and hit repair.
• If you don’t have SMAPI installed, right-click on Stardew Valley in Steam, then go to Properties > Set Launch Options, and make sure it is empty.
• If you are running the software "RivaTuner", exit out of it completely before running the game
• Go to Device Manager > System Devices and check if there is something called "FrescoLogic Display Adapter". this can cause incompatiblity issues.

Hopefully one of them will work!

I've had the same error twice. The first time, I just had to redo the day and it kept going. Seems to me like it was going to trigger an overnight event, but then it just crashes to desktop before getting to the sold screen and saving the game. I've also noticed I've had very few overnight events this game, aside from the ones triggered by the community center. I think the only one's I've gotten are the witch and the owl and I'm already in 3rd spring, quite a bit fewer than previous runs.

Given when it's happening and my uninformed guess from the stack trace, maybe some texture for something used in an event cutscene is bugging out?

• I'm going to try deleting my startup_preferences file, but this crash seems to be happening quite rarely, as I suspect it's only on certain overnight events for me.
• I don't have anything in "\Stardew Valley\_CommonRedist\XNA\4.0" at all, even with options enabled to show hidden and system files/folders.
• The last 3 suggestions don't seem to apply to me.

>> I've tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling/fixing XNA, and deleting startup_preferences. I dont have any Mods or whatsoever, it started happening after the version 1.5.4 update, wonder if it could have anything to do with the actualization? Please if anyone has found the fix for this let me know ;(((

I have the same issue. It happened once, I redid everything again and the game didn't crash. The day after, it crashed again :(

Everything is the same.
About 1 am, farm house, going asleep, crash to desktop before summing up the results of the day. Save file stays intact from previous day.

Also, most importantly could you play as admin from your Steam?
I noticed that you need to download and install the Microsoft XNA.
Could you download the latest XNA and DirectX?

XNA

Download Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0 Refresh from Official Microsoft Download Center

The XNA Framework Redistributable download provides game developers with the XNA Framework run-time libraries they can include with their product for redistribution on the Windows platform.

www.microsoft.com

I have provided for you the latest Direct X

Download DirectX 11 Technology Update from Official Microsoft Download Center

Presentation from Gamefest 2010

Please report back, if it works or not.

I have a GOG version.

I've already got the latest.

It was a single crash. As somebody supposed, the cause may be in some of "Random Events". All events already happened on my farm except The Witch and Wild animal attack. Maybe one of them is incorrectly managed in some circumstances.
