, 02:43, 19 December 2021→"The game failed to launch: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException: Failed to create graphics device": expand and provide instructions for suggested fixes
=="The game failed to launch: <samp>Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException</samp>: Failed to create graphics device"==
=="The game failed to launch: <samp>Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException</samp>: Failed to create graphics device"==
That means your graphics drivers aren't supported by the underlying game framework.
Common fixes:
<dl>
<dt>1. Update your graphics drivers:</dt>
<dd><ol>
<li>Install the app for your graphics card ([https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/ GeForce Experience] for NVIDIA or [https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/radeon-software Radeon Software] for AMD). If you're not sure, see [https://www.tomsguide.com/how-to/what-graphics-card-do-i-have-heres-how-to-tell how to check which graphics card you have].</li>
<li>Open the app.</li>
<li>Find the section that shows graphics driver info. Make sure it says you have the latest version, and install any updates if not.</li>
</ol></dd>
<dt>2. (''Windows only'') Run the game on your dedicated graphics card:</dt>
<dd>[[File:SMAPI dedicated GPU on Windows.png|thumbnail|The 'high performance' option described in the steps on the left.]]
Many computers have two options for running games: ''integrated graphics'' (part of the processor) and ''dedicated graphics'' (a separate graphics card by NVIDIA or AMD). Stardew Valley should be run on the dedicated graphics, but that's not always the default (especially on laptops). If you're not sure if this applies to your computer, it's safe to just try the instructions below anyway — they just won't do anything if it doesn't apply.
To fix this:
# From the start menu, search for ''Graphics Settings'' and open it.
# In the window that opens, click "Browse" near the top and choose <samp>StardewModdingAPI.exe</samp> in [[Modding:Game folder|your game folder]] (or <samp>Stardew Valley.exe</samp> if you play without mods).
# In the app list, click "Options" under <samp>StardewModdingAPI</samp> (or <samp>Stardew Valley</samp> if you play without mods).
# Change the Graphics preference to "High performance".
# Save.
# Check whether it launches fine now.
</dd>
<dt>3. Use the compatibility branch or an older version of Stardew Valley:</dt>
<dd>As an absolute last resort, you can...
* Use the [https://www.stardewvalley.net/compatibility/ Stardew Valley compatibility branch] (note that that [[#Known issues|mods don't work with that version]] currently);
* ''or'' [[#SMAPI doesn't work with compatibility branch|downgrade to Stardew Valley 1.5.4 or earlier]] (note that you'll need to use older versions of SMAPI and many mods).
