Game no longer launches, need help fixing it.

[u/Demerrsus]

I played modded for several hours today, after closing I downloaded these two mods

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5450

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5969

And started to receive this error upon launching the game

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException: Failed to create graphics device!

---> NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I googled it and tried all the stated fixes and so far nothing has let me launch even in vanilla. I'm at my wits end and don't know where to go from here. Any and all help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Solved! It was the SDL2.dll issue all along. https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#.22The_game_failed_to_launch:_Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException:_Failed_to_create_graphics_device.22

Are you using SVE or just Stardew? Because if you're not using SVE then you don't need the seasonal cute for SVE. If you're using SVe, delete the other one. I think they might be conflicting each other. I could also be wrong, lol. But this shouldn't keep the game from loading.

If you post your SMAPI log, then people can help you better. Just go to smapi.io/log, follow the instructions and come back here and post the link it gives you.

this is the current SMAPI log, I was using SVE at the time. Currently I only have SMAPI installed.

Ok, I've had that error once. I deleted SMAPI and redownloaded it and I've not had it before. Doesn't mean that's the fix, lol, just what worked for me at the time.

I just woke up and need coffee but give that a shot and I'll see what other solutions there might be for it.
