Issue Help, cannot create any games nor save

[bravenewworldd]

Hi,
I've been getting this problem constantly when I try to save or start new game, where the game just goes black screen and just freezes. I'd greatly appreciate it if there is a solution present, as I've tried everything I could find on the internet but without success. It's the same for every save/ creation of a new game and also for the vanilla game without mods. Here is a part of the error log, if it helps:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the log.

This looks similar to the old errors from users running XNB mods, and placing them in the wrong folder. Especially, if it's also happening on vanilla Stardew as you mention.

You may want to try to verify your game files:

Steam Support :: Verify Integrity of Game Files

help.steampowered.com

Or a full uninstall, then reinstall. You'd need to reinstall the mods, but it should clear up the error.
