Windows Update Crashed My PC and Now Stardew Valley Mods Won't Load - Game Crashes on Save Load

[knusperpopkorn666]

Hi everyone,

I'm in a bit of a pickle and could really use your collective wisdom. Before a recent Windows update, my Stardew Valley game was heavily modded and everything was running smoothly. However, after the update, my computer crashed and, as a result, all my mods were wiped out. I've tried to reinstall them, this time using Vortex for better mod management, but now the game won't even load my saves. Every attempt to start the game and load a save file results in an immediate crash. This has been quite disheartening as I deeply love playing Stardew Valley, and now I can't access my farms or continue my progress.

Here's what I've done so far:

• Reinstalled all my mods through Vortex, ensuring they're the same ones I used before. Maybe I missed some but I got the "big ones", like Stardew Valley Expanded who could make problems when removed

• Attempted to start the game with only a few mods to pinpoint if a specific mod is causing the issue, but no luck. The game is also not working if I try to run it without mods

I'm reaching out to see if anyone has experienced something similar or has any insights on how to resolve this problem. Any advice on troubleshooting steps or specific settings in Vortex that I might need to adjust would be incredibly appreciated.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide!
