can't open steam version

double click it or use right click on steam icon and it wont start.

says "running" then quickly "synchronizing" doesnt even open a black window or anything.

used steam steam://flushconfig and
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\bin\SteamService.exe" /repair

and restarted the computer. it still wont start.

 

i am having this same issue. it sounds very similar. ive been playing everyday and played last night. tonight i came home and can not launch the game. i don't know what to do!

 

C:\Users\%PC Account Name%\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley

Upload the files in the \ErrorLogs and \Saves folders. To prepare the files for upload to this forum, select the files, right-click, select Send to and click Compressed (zipped) folder. If you are using Steam, use the Verify Cache feature. If not, back up your save files and try reinstalling the game.

Press Windows Key + R, type dxdiag, click the Save all information button on the bottom right and upload the text file.

 

Never mind lol I reread it silly me.

 

Did anyone else computers have updates before the game stopped launching??

 

how do i get to the cache in steam? im having the same problem. it says running for a few seconds and steam pops up for a second with preparing to launch and it never launches. im going to do the reinstallin gnow though.

 

This happened to me, but I found the game started properly from the source folder, so what I did was clear the .acf manifest files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps (I put a .old on the end of the existing ones in case something went wrong). I imagine you just need to clear the file that is responsible for launching Stardew but I didn't feel like looking through them all. After that I was able to launch it from Steam again.

 

When viewing your library, right click the game and select properties. The 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache' is located under the 'Local Files' tab.
