Those of you who want to know how to get rid of the "[mac-and-linux-open-beta]" text from the game name in Steam, follow these steps: (note that this text is harmless and you're not still stuck on the beta, if that's what you thought. This is just for those who find the text annoying)
1. Navigate to the "steamapps" directory for your system.
Mac: ~/Libraray/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/
Linux: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/ (I'm pretty sure, but haven't installed on linux myself)
2. In this directory is a file that begins with "appmanifest". Mine was named "appmanifest_105600.acf". If you have multiple of these, open them until you find one with "name" set to "Terraria".
3. Once you have the right appmanifest open, you'll find part way down under a "UserConfig" section that there is a property called "betakey" and it is set to "mac-and-linux-open-beta". Simply remove that entire property.
If you're still confused, make this:
Code:
"AppState"
{
"appid" "105600"
"Universe" "1"
"name" "Terraria"
"StateFlags" "4"
"installdir" "Terraria"
"LastUpdated" "1439441918"
"UpdateResult" "0"
"SizeOnDisk" "264511890"
"buildid" "727610"
"LastOwner" "76561198005539474"
"BytesToDownload" "2713440"
"BytesDownloaded" "2713440"
"AutoUpdateBehavior" "0"
"AllowOtherDownloadsWhileRunning" "0"
"UserConfig"
{
"language" "english"
"betakey" "mac-and-linux-open-beta"
}
"MountedDepots"
{
"105603" "4052311285910024095"
}
}
look like this:
Code:
"AppState"
{
"appid" "105600"
"Universe" "1"
"name" "Terraria"
"StateFlags" "4"
"installdir" "Terraria"
"LastUpdated" "1439441918"
"UpdateResult" "0"
"SizeOnDisk" "264511890"
"buildid" "727610"
"LastOwner" "76561198005539474"
"BytesToDownload" "2713440"
"BytesDownloaded" "2713440"
"AutoUpdateBehavior" "0"
"AllowOtherDownloadsWhileRunning" "0"
"UserConfig"
{
"language" "english"
}
"MountedDepots"
{
"105603" "4052311285910024095"
}
}
Then just save the file, restart steam, and you're done.
Normally you'd right-click the game, go to "properties", and click the "betas" tab. However, if the game in question has no active betas then this tab is hidden. Even though Terraria has no betas registered on steam anymore, the betakey text still sticks there and you can't change it because the tab is hidden. That's how this minor steam bug happens. Rest assured though, you're not in the beta even though it says that. With no betas registered, there's only one game install for Steam to run: the full stable version.
Here's proof that the text is harmless:
I simply modified the text to whatever I wanted. The game still runs exactly the same
