game missing executables

[Lance Stroll]

so i had smapi for the game and i installed it with the game files and then smapi became outdated and i didnt bother to update it, so i went into my game files and deleted all my smapi stuff and i messed up like an idiot and now when i try to play the game it says its missing executables.

ill give money to someone who can solve this for me

thanks

I suggest you to firstly backup your save files and,
on the steam client, right click on the game, open properties.

• On the LOCAL FILES tab,
  
• select VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES...
  
• wait for the process to finish.

In case that didn't help, reinstall the game.

btw: If you start the SMAPI installer you can decide between install and uninstall. It's good to upgrade if needed.

Chill In so i did all that, un and re installed and then it took like 1 minute to reinstall and then said the same thing where im missing executables when i tried to play

Right-click on Stardew Valley on your Steam library, select "Properties", go to the "Local Files" tab and then click "Verify Integrity of Game Files".

That's only for the SMAPI application. You need to repair your game too.
Like choclce said. With this steam function. Or classic uninstall the game, clear the folder, install again.

Since SMAPI extracts the executable and libraries (dll files) inside the SDV directory, for your ease, I recommend you to uninstall the game, then, manually clear SDV's directory of any reminding files.
On windows, it's located at steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley, similar location should be for the Mac and Linux.
In the end, install of the game again.

The second way would be to try uninstalling SMAPI using it's install batch file as mentined by @Anna above, I have included a picture of how the setup files should like below,

wait, so i do ininstall and then go into steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley and clear all the files in it? because there is no Stardew Valley when i look in common

[HPop]

Make sure to check the other drives to see if you install Stardew Valley on a different location.
And if you didn't, install the game and follow up with the second way Anna mentioned and I sent a picture of it on the previous post.
