PC [Help] Game Won't Launch on Steam

Hello! Been trying to go through the various steps on both steam and here to correct the game not launching issue.

So far I have:

-Ensured that an active audio device is enabled
-Verified Game File Integrity on Steam
-Uninstalled and Re-installed Stardew Valley
-Updated Graphics card to latest drivers
-Uninstalled and reinstall Microsoft XNA 4.0 and rebooted.
-Re-installed .Net framework
-Checked Visual C++ Redistributables. Currently have 2010-2019 installed. Links to previous versions are all dead, at least on the threads that I have checked
-Installed latest version of SMAPI and attempted to run with SMAPI exe with admin permissions

My system:
Intel CORE i7-2600
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Nvidia GTX 770

Here's the latest crash error from SMAPI:

SMAPI failed to initialize: System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.dll' or one of its dependencies. is not a valid Win32 application. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700C1)

Interestingly enough, there is no crashlog under C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley . Also, when I download Stardew Valley from steam there is no “_CommonRedist” in the install directory. Anyone still encountering this issue?

It sounds like you may not be able to, but if possible could you upload a full SMAPI log? See https://smapi.io/log for instructions.

Following. I am having this same issue since November. Discord hasn't been able to help me come to answer.
