I did not get any replies the first time I posted something so hopefully someone sees this and can help me.

Hello, I think this is my last hope in terms of getting stardew to work without needing to get my computer checked out by a computer person thing.

I have been struggling and have sought out support from reddit, twice, here and here. I have also posted on Discord twice, posted on the stardew forums things, and here will be my last cry for help, so hopefully someone can help me out. Taking a look at the comments on those reddit posts will probably be the best thing to see what all I have tried, but I shall give a brief summary of the things and all the things.

Issue: with mods installed, every time I launch the game it wont let me get past the title screen/character creation part before my computer freezes and forces a restart or I need to manually restart.
what we tried in order of operations.

  • launching stardew from steam only, not the shortcut on my desktop (worked for 3 seconds, started a new world, cleared some brush, attempted to plant ONE seed and then it crashed again) (log: https://smapi.io/log/e9222029577d4add8f83ad141e446541)
  • ctrl-alt-delete when things start to freeze (only worked once, was able to get into the world with ridgside characters listed)
  • changing the gpu to high performance or whatever, did not work.
  • tried playing offline twice, didn't work (log: https://smapi.io/log/5d8a4ce457114f1183ec4a98dac21e1f)
  • removing just ridgeside mod, didn't work (https://smapi.io/log/a94c1e343d324ae694e403fd5ab14091)
  • Tried removing one of the mods, didn't work (log: https://smapi.io/log/eedc1198bd944d56a120dd299673f3d4)
  • tried turning my firewall off and running, didn't work (log: https://smapi.io/log/09a5cc24f4ec4fcd9c144ee605e42fae)
  • validated my files, many times, nothing changed, everything was always fine but anytime i tried to open a world or make a new world it would crash somehow (log: https://smapi.io/log/66caa077d2f343318f702dcc84cfffb3)
  • removed all mods and smapi, just vanilla, didn't work, crashes continued
  • uninstalled and reinstalled stardew, vanilla (no smapi or mods) everything was fine, i could play and plant seeds.
  • reinstalled JUST smapi, no other mods, didn't work. (log: https://smapi.io/log/764547683a8644cf8b4c9c3ec78c8ed5)
  • tried to run vanilla stardew with smapi still installed (opened the file in the actual file thing) and it froze, I had gotten to the point where I clicked create a person and it froze just the stardew window and then the entire window on the loading screen, I needed to do a forced restart and I had no mods installed and was not running smapi.
  • this morning I tried running stardew with smapi again and it did not let me get past the loading screen for the character selection. I clicked the create a new file button my computer crashed. the entire screen went black and i had to restart. here is the log for that https://smapi.io/log/f410fe5d5ec94a2cb7c5b9727abe1e60
  • I did a memory diagnostic this morning as well and it restarted my computer. I opened stardew and created two new profiles with JUST SMAPI running, no mods, and I was able to get into the world and move around, in one I was even able to plant seeds. Then I added just the content patcher mod and tried again to open a new world and it did not let me get past character selection. https://smapi.io/log/28863f008a604c36bba48a3fb0a54758
Other things to note
- I do not have any mod managers
- my system is new, it has had more than enough power to use mods with stardew. I’ve already play stardew with expanded and multiple other mods and had zero problem. I also have recently played Minecraft with multiple mods and a shader and resource packs with no issue.
- I download my stardew mods from nexus, and my minecraft mods from curseforge
- i do manual installs for all of the mods (stardew and minecrast) and I manually unzip/extract them.
- someone kept mentioning GOG as a concerning thing in my log, I have never made a GOG account, I had never heard of them until this saga has occurred, I do not know why it is in my log but i have done EVERYTHING in my power to locate anything GOG related in my computer (as seen in the second reddit post) and nothing has worked to find it...

can anyone please help me? and if not, can anyone suggest what I might say about my laptop to a computer professional regarding what is wrong with it?
