Bug/Issue Game will not launch

My game will not launch. I even reinstalled the game

 

Can you post your error logs?

The file locations:
Windows: %AppData%\StardewValley\ErrorLogs
OSX: /Users/yourusername/.config/StardewValley/ErrorLogs
Linux: ~/.config/StardewValley/ErrorLogs

 

I am having the SAME problem! I've played 100+ hours on this game but suddenly it stopped working!

 

Hina0126, could you upload one of the files here. Or open up one of those text files, and copy/paste everything inside the file over here.

Thanks. First off make sure XNA is still installed.

Instructions:
Right click Stardew Valley in your Steam Library.
Then select 'Properties' from the popup.
After that a new 'Properties' window should show up.
Go to the 3rd tab, 'Local Files', and select; "Browse Local Files".

It should open up a window to your game files. One of the folders in there should be named "_CommonRedist".

Go into that folder, and follow the folders down into the XNA one until you find the xna installer; "xnafx40_redist.msi"
Reinstall that first, then give it a try.

You might also want to try 'verifying the game files' in that same 'Properties' window while you're there. But, definitely try the XNA stuff first.

 

OH MY GOD YOU SWEET LOVELY AWESOME DUDE THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!

I reinstalled it and it works!!! 8D

 

Hey
Just got the game today, but i cant start it.
When i click play on steam nothing happens.
I have fixed my XNA file, reinstalled it. Vertefied the files, reinstalled the game, restarted my computer, but nothing seems to work.
I tried to look for the error log but i cant find it. Can only find Stardew Valley inn steamapps.
Help plz ^^

 

The %AppData% is a reference to a hidden path. Make sure you have files & folders that are hidden set to viewable. Or try pasting in %AppData% in the search window on Windows, and see if it takes you there directly. The steamapps stuff has the gamefiles; but not the saves or error logs.

The path would look something like this when typed out literally; just subsittute your user account name below:
C:\Users\-your user name-\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\ErrorLogs
