Issue SMAPI Freezing and Not Launching Game

[PhoenixTsukino]

Ever since I updated SMAPI, it won't load the game. It gets to a certain point and then just sits there doing nothing. With the previous version, I had 117 mods including SVE, and the game launched in no more than 2 minutes.

Here's my log: https://smapi.io/log/ddcc0e80fc2b4ceeb322bb1782edf6c2

I get no errors.

What I've already tried:
uninstalling and reinstalling SMAPI multiple times = no change
uninstalling and reinstalling the game = no change
removed 19 mods = no change
tried to launch the game without SVE = no change

I have tried for 3 hours every day since the update to figure out how to fix it and have gotten nowhere. Please help!


Edit: After one last attempt for the day, I waited 25 minutes and got this:

src\steamnetworkingsockets\clientlib\steamnetworkingsockets_lowlevel.cpp (1873) : Assertion Failed: SteamnetworkingSockets service thread waited 92ms for lock! This directly adds to network latency! It could be a bug, but it's usually caused by general performance problem such as thread starvation or a debug output handler taking too long.

Did you ever find a fix for this? I just encountered the same issue...

Looks like a possibly corrupted steam folder, possibly a processor issue, or a network error made from a windows defender exception. What os do you guys have?

For future reference for players who might go thru the same issue: I FINALLY solved the infamous "Thread Starvation" / "Steam Networking Sockets" issue! 🥹

Steps:
1) Access your Steam settings and turn OFF those two configs:
- The "Beta Steam testing"
- The Steam overlay during gaming

2) For Linux players specifically (not sure if applicable on Windows too, perhaps yes):
- Go to your Stardew Valley game page on your Library in Steam. Search for the engine icon > Properties, and activate the proton stuff (the most recent excluding the top newest).

3) Use a mod called SPRITEMASTER (available at Nexus) to make your loading screens load faster and diminish lags.

And voìla! No more "thread starvation" issue.
