PC [HELP] Game Not Launching - Since Update 1.5.5

[spaghooter]

I can't launch Stardew since the update. It won't start :(
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Forgot to add -

I've uninstalled Microsoft XNA framework, reset my pc and downloaded the most recent version of Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0 and still no luck.

The compatibility beta version for 32-bit systems is still working, albeit lagging loads.

Can you try installing .NET 5.0 from here - https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0/runtime

I am also having this same problem! I was playing just fine until the update the other day. Now the game will not even launch and I have the same error log. I have reviewed the different fixes on the forum and thus far have had no luck. Here are lists of my attempts to fix, error logs and system info. I hope posting within this same thread is ok, this is my first time posting an issue and I thought since they are the same problem it would be helpful. If I need to create my own thread please let me know.

Things I have Tried (includes computer restarts after each attempt):
- Backing up my gamefiles, then uninstalling and reinstalling the game from Steam.
- Verifying my gamefiles in Steam.
- Trying to run as admin.
- Downloaded and installed (well repaired because it was already installed) Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0.
- Downloaded and installed the .NET 5.0 framework.
- Ensured I have a current version of DirectX installed (as you can see below it is DirectX 12)
- Downloaded the most updated chipset and graphics drivers (my system is pretty old and I have integrated graphics with my Intel processor)

My System Info:

My Error Log:

How do you get acess to the 32 system version? Wanna try it on mine, even though it´s 64bit, since nothing has worked so far

From the blogpost-

If, for any reason, you want to play on the “legacy” 32-bit version, it’s still available on Steam (right click Stardew > properties > betas > select “Compatibility” version).

I'm having the same issue, I click on it and it doesn't show me on my screen or in my Taskbar but on steam it says it's running, also another issue is after some time after it opens and i enter my world I get stuck on the loading screen.. any idea what could I do regarding to that? I updated my windows version for it..:(

Thanks!

@Bonina
Did you follow the instruction given by liquidcat?
Did it work?

 

[chefgee]

Did anyone find a solution to this? I have the same error log. I just bought the game and can't run it.

I have the same problem like you T-T do you solve it?

 

[Tom]

Same problem. But here's a clue. It happened after I reinstalled Windows. So maybe a driver is missing now. The problem is I cannot find what I need to do so that Monogame works again with my on-board old IntelHD graphics.

Steam (right click Stardew > properties > betas > select “Compatibility” version) did work for me.

 

[YEORIMI]

Hi, I solved this problem.
I updated the graphic driver.
1. Check the installed graphic card. (my graphic card is AMD Radeon (TM) ...)
2. Go to the your graphic card site. ( I logged in to the https://www.amd.com/ko/support )
3. download Intall update and run it.
4. computer Restart.

 

[Tom]

I updated the graphic driver.

I think this is the right answer. I only wish I could find a way to update my i3 330M Intel HD driver. Anyway, I am buying a new laptop to replace that old one. I guess computers don't stay current forever. Software moves on.

 

[Tom]

I found a sketchy driver that fixed the problem for my old i3 330M OpenGL 2.1. See these posts.

 

[Tumbleweed]

I'm having the same problem and I have absolutely no clue what to do about it;;

 

[annanae]

steam says it's running but it doesnt show on the screen or on the taskbar, i don't even hear the game's sound
I tried literally every tutorial I've seen, I updated EVERYTHING & it just doesnt work :((

[Califa710]

I have the same problem with I5 - 3210M CPU and HD Graph 4000. Windows 10, Drivers updated. Minecraft sketchy patch doesnt work too. I tried everything i found, and the only way the game opens is on linux T.T

Inside Steam, go to game properties, and in the BETAS tab, use the compatibility mode. Worked for me with my Intel HD Graphics 3000.
