Hello,
So, I bought Stardew Valley yesterday for the first time and I played it for about an hour and a half without any issues. However, whenever I tried launching the game this morning, it just wouldn't start. Whenever I launched it through Steam, it would show the application starting up for a few seconds and then revert back to the "Play" button. The same behavior with the application not running would occur whenever I tried to open the .exe file directly.
When viewing the "StardewValley" folder under AppData, I noticed there was an "ErrorLogs" folder so I opened that and saw some files being created each time the game was run. I'll provide a screenshot of the error, but it seems to have something to do with my GPU.
Things I've tried:

Things I've tried:
- Verifying game files on Steam
- Re-installing Stardew Valley
- Re-installing GPU drivers (already on the latest version)
- Switching to the "compatibility" branch through Steam. This did work, but I'd like to avoid playing on that if possible.
- Temporarily downgrading GPU driver version
- Disabling integrated graphics
