Bug/Issue Game Crashes while Saving right after the Intro

Hi,

I just bought and downloaded the game off of steam yesterday. The game starts fine and I am able to make a character but after going through the into. The game tries to save and then crashes. Giving a "Stardew Valley has stopped working" message.
When I start up the game again there are no saves. And if I make a new game it does the same thing.

I'm on a Asus laptop:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.4GHz
RAM: 8 GB
Dedicated NIVIDIA Geforce GTX 850M Graphics Card

I tried:
- Turning off steam cloud sync
- Verifying files with steam
- running steam as administrator
- Reinstalling dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe (because that was suggested on other forms)

It didn't install though instead game me the below message
​

- Reinstalled xnafx40_redist.msi, that seemed to work
- Restarting my computer

​

I don't know if there is a log somewhere of this incident, if there is I don't know were to find it.

I would really apreciate any help so I can actually play this game which seems pretty cool.

 

Oh, I found the log file:
Message: The type initializer for 'StardewValley.SaveGame' threw an exception.
InnerException: System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to generate a temporary class (result=1).

I didn't see if you mentioned this, do you have any mods?

 

No I don't have any mods

 

I found the a fix: I realize I was only running steam as an administrator and not the game. So when I went to C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley and ran Stardew Valley.exe as an administrator it worked!!

 

I'm very glad! Enjoy stardew, its really great!

 

Starting the game as administrator is a very bad solution.
And this solution does not even work for linux. Starting as root gives the same error.
