Solved Can't Load Game

[Cpizzle]

I decided to boot up Stardew to see the 1.5 content, but I can't load.

From Steam, I push play, and it says 'running' for a few seconds before it stops. I've rebooted, reinstalled, tried a proletariat copy and nothing works. I run without mods, so it can't be that.

Here is the normal checklist of things to try when Stardew won't launch:

• 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.

Legend.

The second one got it. But for some reason, that was in: Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared rather than the game folders.

I have tried all of these and still can’t load the game. I press play in steam, it says running and then nothing.
