tmodloader closes on startup

My friend is having trouble with tmodloader. we've tried reinstalling terraria, reinstalling tmodloader, reinstalling/deleting the .net folder, verifying files, and just about every other thing we could think of. I've been looking through here, and online, and can't find a single person having this same issue. so i have NO idea what to do beyond what i've done. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also if i need to supply more info, please let me know!

A last resort is to launch the game manually in PowerShell.

Go to the tModLoader install directory. Hold shift and right click in the folder. Click "Open PowerShell window here".

Type

dotnet tModLoader.dll

dotnet tModLoader.dll

and press enter.

If the game did not launch, you likely have an issue with .NET; You can try installing the .NET 8 SDK from here https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0. Select Windows x64 and run the installer. After you have installed the .NET 8 SDK, you will need to delete your

dotnet

dotnet

folder in the tModLoader install directory.
