I bought stardew valley on pc steam yesterday but i Couldn't open it once

What I've tried:

1. Rebooting (after most changes as well)
2. Updating DirectX (12)
3. Installing oalinst.exe
4. Checking C++ (was up to date)
5. Running xnafx40_redist setup
6. Deleting the preferences file in the %appdata%
7. Deleting all stardew folders and re-installing
8. Removing both and then testing both versions of .Net
9. Changing audio devices
10. Plugging in headphones
11. Validating the exception in Windows Defender
12.installing SMAPI then smapi give me this issue : https://smapi.io/log/08ae54b862b84e3ca91fee6b00aa16fd

Try opening it through the file application. Go to Steam, and go to manage files. There you will see a logo for Stardew valley. Open that. That should work, as that’s how I solved my problem with is crashing. Although, what windows version are you on?

This type of error is kind of confusing to me, but do you remember if you happened to remove any files prior to reinstalling DirectX? There are a couple files you could try as a long shot: xinput1_3.dll, d3dx9_40.dll from both system32 and SysWow64, and hopefully it is the same brand of error :)

(okay refresh first after spending too long trying to hunt down an ancient thread :D )
