Game crashing after intro August 2017

System Specs:
Nvidia GEForce GTX 1080
2 Tb HDD % 256 Gb SSD
Intel Core i7 7th Gen

After taking a long break from stardew valley, I decided to start up again; Only to create my character and have the application stop working. The game stopped working shortly after I skipped the Intro. I saw my character for barely a second. I really want to get back into the game but I'm not able to.

Things I've tried:

1. Restart Stardew Valley
2. Restart Steam
3. Run Stardew Valley as Administrator
4. Run Steam as Administrator
5. Reinstall Stardew Valley
6. Reinstall 4.0 net
7. Reinstall XNA files
8. Delete Start-Up Preferences File
   
9. Delete Save folder found in %appdata%\roaming\StardewValley
10. Tried to find HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLogs (couldn't find it in my RegEdit)
11. Furiously Googling others problems and reading Forums.
12. Surrendering and creating a new Forum post because nothing has worked

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

You'll have better luck if you post this in the support subforum. Try to attach your save file so the awesome people there can look into it.
