Hi @The-Sonnys
Are you using mods or custom content in your game? If so, move your Mods folder to the desktop and try to open the game again.
If withouth the mods folder the game starts, then you have at least one mod that it's incompatible with the new version of the game. You have to find which.
If you don't have too much content in your Mods folder, then you can try one by one. It's more likely the cause to be a mod than custom content.
If you have a lot of mods, I suggest you to try the 50/50 method.
Once you have found the problem, let's say it is a mod. You have to look in the creator's site if they have updated the mod. If there is a new version of the mod compatible with the newest version of the game (1.9.83 right now), it will work.
You should know that this week a new patch will be released, so you may want to wait.
