| + | ===Nothing happens when you launch the game=== |
| + | When you launch the game, Steam shows 'running' for a few seconds (if you use Steam) but the game doesn't open. Here are some common fixes: |
| + | # Restart your computer, and make sure you have speakers or headphones plugged in. (They can be muted, but the game needs a working audio device.) |
| + | # If it still happens: |
| + | ## If you installed SMAPI, blank the Steam launch options so it runs the game without SMAPI. |
| + | ## [[Modding:Player Guide/Getting Started#Find your game folder|Open your game folder]]. |
| + | ## Open the <code>_CommonRedist</code> folder, then <code>XNA</code> inside that, then <code>4.0</code>. |
| + | ## Run the <code>xnafx40_redist.msi</code> file. |
| + | ## Restart your computer. |
| + | ## Launch the game. |
| + | ## If that worked, you can reinstall SMAPI now if you want it. |
| + | # If it still doesn't work: |
| + | ## [[Modding:Installing SMAPI on Windows|Install SMAPI]] (if you don't already have it). |
| + | ## Launch the game. |

− | ===Steam: nothing happens when you launch the game (Windows only)===
| |
− | Symptom: you launch the game, Steam shows 'running' for a few seconds, but the game doesn't open. You can usually fix that by doing this:
| |
− | # If you've already installed SMAPI, blank the Steam launch options so it runs the game without SMAPI.
| |
− | # [[Modding:Player Guide/Getting Started#Find your game folder|Open your game folder]].
| |
− | # Open the <code>_CommonRedist</code> folder, then <code>XNA</code> inside that, then <code>4.0</code>.
| |
− | # Run the <code>xnafx40_redist.msi</code> file.
| |
− | # Restart your computer.
| |
− | # Launch the game.
| |
− |
| |
− | If that works, you're done! (If you removed SMAPI in step one, you can reinstall it now.)
| |
− |
| |
− | If it still doesn't work:
| |
− | # [[Modding:Installing SMAPI on Windows|Install SMAPI]] (if you don't already have it).
| |
− | # Launch the game.
| |
− | # [[#Ask for help|Ask for help and attach your SMAPI log]].
