[HELP] Can't open stardew either w/ or w/out smapi

[HeartSprout]

I have googled up and down trying to find a solution, and tried almost every technique for when stardew won't launch, but nothing has helped

 

here is what smapi says when it refuses to open, and i don't know enough about coding to know what to do

 

[i have tried to reinstall the xna framework thing as it mentions that a bunch but no wheels have been greased apparently]

I was having the same issue. Go to Steam and right click on the game in your library. Go to Properties > Local Files, and click Verify integrity of game files. Mine found 372 files were invalid.

This solved my issue!
