PC [BUG] Stardew Valley bug - Can't start first morning

[Sales]

I installed Stardew Valley the other day because it is free on xbox game pass (I am playing on pc). I can start the game normally edit my character and watch the inicial cutscenes. The problem occurs when I am supposed to play. I can read something of the likes : "your progress has sucessfully been saved" and hear the rooster crowing and then, instead of the screen lighting up in a new day, it stays black. I don't think the game crashes because if i click in "T" the chat pops up and I can write in it but it stays stuck there in the black screenoes anyone have a solution?

PS: To quit the game I have to alt+ F4 and when I go to "load game" it says that I don't have any games saved. As you can see in the pic below i can write in chat but it is all black.

Couldn't.

I recently fixed it by reinstalling it. Before I had the problem like you and I didn't know why it happened. I also got my SMAPI installed before playing I think that caused it so I open it with normal exe and it's still black. I just simply reinstall it and it works. Try installing mods and it still worked. Over all, the problem is the your name, name of farm, favorite thing is not in English. Mine is Thai that's why it blacked out.

Yeah, on the Installing SMAPI (Windows) instructions in the Mods section of the Wiki, the first step is

1. Run the game without SMAPI at least once (so it can do first-time setup).

I still can't play solo, the only time i could play was a CO:OP with a friend, besides that it always blacks out. I don't think I have the SMAPI installed (I had just installed the game from xbox game pass). Reinstalling doesn't work, either.
