Bug/Issue Game Wont Start

Using Steam to try and play but whenever I start the game up with the desktop icon I get a small pop up stating the game is being prepared but it only stays for a few seconds then disappears. When I start in the steam library "Running" appears to the right of Stardew Valley in the list, then it disappears and nothing happens. When I go into the Steam file for Stardew and try to run "Stardew Valley.application" and install it i get an error message saying that its incomplete and to contact the producer


I have been able to run the game twice but thats it, i have verified the content via steam, deleted all the content and then made sure it was gone many many times so yes I have done that, if anyone has had the same issue or knows how to fix it your help would be greatly appreciated!

 

I have the exact issue on Mac. I haven't been able to get it to launch except to about 5 seconds before it crashes without any error messages! Frustrated.

 

Try this: In Steam, in the Library, rt click on Stardew Valley. Click on Properties. Then click on Local Files and then click on Verify Integrity of Game Cache. Let it finish, then attempt to start Stardew Valley. If it errors again, go to %appdata%/roaming/StardewValley/errorlogs and attach the file in there to a post here. That pic you attached is hard to read, but it looked like you are missing game files. The verify integrity will compare your files to what should be there and correct them.

 

I verified and it says "all files successfully validated", will that app data work on Mac?

 

Please help xD

 

I have no idea how the mac file system works or where it stores personel stardew valley files.

 

shoot..

 

okay i saw another post about having a working audio source so i plugged in a pair of headphones and now it works no idea why
thank you for the help though! once this isnt the fix ill be back lol. i have unplugged the headphones and it wouldnt start but when i put them back in it was fine so it fixes it for now
