Windows Game Opens and then Crashes Right After ConcernedApe Startup Screen - PC

[CusTrain]

Friend is running into an issue where Stardew is opening for a brief moment and then closing during the ConcernedApe screen. It lags a little during the white transition and then abruptly closes. Originally we thought this could be an issue with the Xbox Gamepass version so he bought it through Steam hoping that he wouldn't have this issue. Oddly enough he's getting the same problem regardless of the download. I've looked through the forums and haven't seen exactly the issue he is having. Looking for any help anyone has to offer.

Thanks in advance!

Hey! This does sound like a pretty bad problem, can you see if he has an error log? The instructions to find it are in the pinned post (linked below for convenience)

I'm having same issue, no crash log generated. Clicking playbon steam will load game few seconds showing concernedape screen then closes. Only way to play is to launch the stardewvalley.exe directly from the game files folder. I've tried running in compatability mode version in betas, disabled steam controller override, steam overlay, removed gallaxy64 like.
