Hi, I just bought Stardew Valley for PC yesterday, after enjoying it on mobile for almost a month. I haven't been able to launch the game from GoG, Steam or otherwise. I have also checked online for possible solutions and tried almost everything that I could find and understant. I am not very tech savvy, so maybe there is something I should try that I just don't know.

Here is the message I got from SMAPI.

SMAPI failed to initialize: System.BadImageFormatException: No se puede cargar el archivo o ensamblado 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.dll' ni una de sus dependencias. no es una aplicación Win32 válida. (Excepción de HRESULT: 0x800700C1)

en StardewModdingAPI.Program.Main(String[] args) en C:\source\_Stardew\SMAPI\src\SMAPI\Program.cs:línea 30
Game has ended. Press any key to exit.


Thank you very much for your help!

If you haven't already, please try the steps here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch
If none of those steps solve the issue, could you upload a log? See https://smapi.io/log for instructions.

Hi, I tried all the steps in the link, but it didn't solve the issue. I followed the instructions in the SMAPI log website, but I have no Stardew Valley folder in %appdata%\. I apologize if my issue is due to some dumb mistake of mine or if there is something wrong with my PC. I really don't know what else to do about this. Thanks for your help!

Did you install the game somewhere else after you bought it? Perhaps on a different hard drive?

Nope, I installed the game on my laptop through GOG. I have no additional hard drives. I really have no clue about what is going wrong and the only thing I have is the SMAPI message I posted before, but I don't understand a word of what it says.

Three times, I've also restarted my PC 4 times. I could try again to see if it does anything.

If you've tried it once and it didn't do anything that's plenty, additional times shouldn't suddenly fix something (unfortunately).

I guess so. Is there something else I could do? I really want to play the game on my computer and this issue has been a little frustrating for me.

Hold up, and slow down. I know that for me to find the Stardew folder that I had to set my computer to show hidden files.

Yeah, my computer shows hidden files already, but the only Stardew folder I have is the one with the game in the GoG folder.
