no game for me :(

[Mr.Whit3y]

Hello,

The game doesn't want to start for me and I get the following error message: "An error occurred when starting the executable file."

Installation size is only 633 mb and when I go to troubleshoot it says that all 4181 files have been checked successfully.

I play 3 mods that have all been updated.
1. Smapi 4.0
2. NPC Map locations 3.0
3. Farm Extended 2.0

Can anyone help me please?
I had already tried installing and uninstalling etc

Kind regards

Mr. Whit3y

It's the same symptom as me, but,
I've never used a mod.
However, I can't play the game because the executable is missing.

[Mr.Whit3y]

yes i´m not alone maby there is hope

As it should.
Check if you have latest SMAPI, without "alpha" - 4.0.1 is latest one
Check if there is nothing weird in launch properties. For my drive it is:
"D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

Launch game from original exe in game folder and see what happens.

4.0.1 i have it

the game starts with the original .exe and it is good but without mods
if i start the game with:
"D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

need i a new code or ?

[aY227]

what code?
Wait... how are you launching game? And what gives that error message?

If you use SMAPI shortcut try to run it as admin.
I f you want to launch via steam with achievements set it up like that:

but use path to your game folder

[Mr.Whit3y]

also my code should be
"D:\nexus\mods\SMAPI 4.0.1-2400-4-0-1-1710915545\StardewmoddingAPI.exe" %command%

now it starts and end the programm direkt
if i change the prog. in
D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods
the thesy said onle fail by start

try it but nothing (the same)

then i delete the launchcode it´s start but without mods

[Horuta]

Do a complete uninstall of the game (manually remove the game files, be sure to back up your save if you want to) then reinstall

[Mr.Whit3y]

i try it all with the deinstallbutton and manuel removing the folders

nothing will work

After downloading smapi you should run a .bat file there - and install it.
Than it goes to steam folder together with game.
Download it manually and unzip.

[Mr.Whit3y]

ok i have all mods manuel install
smapi said this, the game startet but without mods

Well, for one, it's telling you that you don't have the Farm Extended prerequisite mods in there (Content Patcher). Farm Type Manager has an update that you can get as your current version is not compatible, so it might be crashing things. Fix those things first, then try again, although some mods will take a bit to get up to 1.6

[aY227]

it informed you about everything - even gave links

[Cyflan]

Yeah, all the info you need is in the console text you posted.
Download Content Patcher, update Farm Type Manager, and delete the SMAPI installer(or move it out of the mods folder)

[Mr.Whit3y]

nice is good now thank you

Smapi dos not belong in your mod folder.
You download it, unpack somewhere on your computer, (in downloads is fine) Open the map and run the installer for your system. It will install itself where it belongs.
