Help with regular Launching

[skylerbio]

I had modded Stardew Valley with a couple of friends of mine, and just recently found out that my account had been hacked, and had restored it. Now, however, trying to launch Stardew Valley with the new settings caused SMAPI to take over an hour to attempt to launch the game with the mods, but that at this moment is not the concern.

What IS the concern is that, after removing the reroute to the SMAPI engine completely, the game cannot launch, but still says that I am playing the game. I want to know if this is a reroute issue that I can solve via re-applying the original route, or if this was caused by the hack, and that I may have to redownload the Steam Client manually to fix it.

This question is more the generic type; it doesn't matter that the game I'm trying to launch is Stardew Valley, because I tried another game and it launched very quickly, as what I was used to.
An update to this; It takes about 5-15 minutes to see that I actually connect to Stardew. It's not near-instantaneous like it used to be.

UPDATE PART 2: I timed the launch time and it was just about 3 1/2 minutes. Not 5 minutes like I erroneously said before, but it's still not near-instant like it used to be.

So if other games work fine and that one doesn't it is a game issue? What the hell is an SMAPI? Certainly not a Steam thing nor a Windows thing.

SMAPI is part of the whole Stardew thing that I'll look into another time, My question isn't in that category. I apologize, I should've phrased this whole scenario better.

Bottom line is-
One game takes forever to put me into the game, while others work fine. Another added misfortune is that the game crashes when looking at saves. I was asking if changing the reroute command to a blank was what happened, or if it had something to do with my account getting hacked that caused that specific game to be affected somehow.

You should take matters to the game forum. Alternatively, we can indulge in more generic troubleshooting here.
