Stardew Valley Won't Open or Install All The Way
Hey! I recently got the game, however I can't play it. When I open it on steam, it stops after a few seconds. When I look in the AppData folder, the only files inside of StardewValley is "Saves". People usually say to move the startup preferences file, but I don't even have it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times but it didn't work. When I open local files via steam, there's the usual files.
What I've tried: Downloading XNF 4.0, Updating driver, Running as administrator, Verifying Integrity of Game Files, Deleting AppData folder so it re-downloads them
Any ideas on how to help?

Saddly this didn't work :(

Try the compatibility/legacy mode for this game. It's a 32bit version of the game. You can find it under the beta tab in Steam.

With compatibility mode we can't use mods... this not resolve the problem '-'
