POTENTIAL SOLUTION -  

i had a problem where i had both of these - 

 XNA Redistributable installed

.NET Framework 4.5 installed

but it still wouldent open, and came up with an error code - 

Ver 1.3.1.2

if u look it seems like it cant find a monocle or something, i had 3 different folders with celeste stuff in each, stuff like the application, error log and whatever fmod is in one, then i had two different files called backups and content. because it said file not found i tried making its job easier and basically just chucked all the Celeste stuff on my computer in one folder and it works fine, the application opens and it had  my previous save.

i dont know if what i did actually fixed it or if it just fixed itself, but it worked for me.
