PC [HELP] Game crashes on startup

Seeyoun8er

Greenhorn
I hadn't played the game in a bit so I decided to play it again but the game never launched. And there was never an error message that popped up. I checked the event viewer and see this. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game, verifying the game file integrity, and deleting the save files but to no avail. The crash info is below.

16 GB Ram

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

More stuff I have tried:

Resetting windows but maintain files
Resetting windows without files
Repeating all previous steps
Turned off Steam overlay
Verified integrity of game files
Added permissions to the 4.0 folder
Uninstalled again
Reinstalled via GOG
Disabling all audio devices and trying multiple types, USB, Surround Sound, PC, TV, and headphones
Checking different resolutions
Using only laptop screen
Hitting F12 while launching from folder and steam and GOG

Are you still seeing this issue on 1.5.3? If so, can you share your most recent error log? (Crashes don't always produce an error log, so you may not see any in the folder).
  • On Windows, press the windows key + R and enter %appdata%/stardewvalley/errorlogs.
  • On Mac, from your desktop click Go in the menubar (in the top right), then "Go to folder..." at the bottom of that menu. Enter ~/.config/StardewValley/ErrorLogs/.
If you have SMAPI installed, the best way to share a log is via https://smapi.io/log. Thanks!

Open elevated command prompt
Run:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
That command followed by sfc /scannow in elevated command prompt followed by a reboot fixed it


Finally. My work is finished. At last I rest.

help I'm an idiot and don't know what these things are how do i open a command prompt.
I´ll assume you use one of the latest Windows versions.

  • First - Press the Windows Button to open the Start Menu and type on your keyboard directly CMD.
  • Second - Your Startmenu should now hover above "Command Prompt", rightclick on it with your mouse to open the Menu
  • Third - choose "Run as Administrator" with a click, accept Admin Rights (assuming you have admin rights)

Tada - you got your command prompt as administrator.
I would recommend to google what DSIM is first and do a bit own research: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/what-is-dism (specially if you get 'dsim.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.)
