    I've played Stardew Valley for 2 years now but suddenly this happened
    I have tried:
    >Reinstall the game
    >Verify integrity
    >Delete all Stardew Valley files in %appdata% and steamapp
    >Install XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0
    >Failed attempt to install XNA game studio 4.0 (bootstrapper.exe)
    >Cannot use SMAPI anymore (errors)
    >Currently have no mods

    Here is the error log

    Message: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

    I have uploaded an image for what the error looks like

      Update: >I have also tried installing .NET Framework 4.0 but didn't work

      AND A MIRACLE HAPPENED, STEAM HAS FIXED IT FOR ME!
      After failed attempt to Verify integrity on Steam, it finally says "1955 files failed to validate and will be reacquired".
      A folder named "Steamwork Shared" has popped up today.
      Steam has downloaded necessary files and repaired the game.
