I have never played Terraria on PC before and bought it after the 1.4 patch dropped. Whenever I launch it through Steam it shows it as running for a few secs, then it stops, without error messages. It never even shows up on task manager, but Event Viewer reports the following errors:
Faulting application name: Terraria.exe, version: 1.4.0.0, time stamp: 0x5ec07b7e
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.18362.815, time stamp: 0x67005c2a
Exception code: 0xe0434352
Fault offset: 0x00114402
Faulting process id: 0x452c
Faulting application start time: 0x01d62daa25b7787f
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Terraria\Terraria.exe
Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNELBASE.dll
Report Id: 0ec0d9fd-cb09-4431-9974-017319a77599
Faulting package full name:
Faulting package-relative application ID:
Application: Terraria.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.IO.FileLoadException
at Terraria.Program.LaunchGame(System.String[], Boolean)
at Terraria.WindowsLaunch.Main(System.String[])
Solutions I have tried so far:
- Verifying files
- Uninstalling
- Deleting the terraria folder, then reinstalling
- Deleting the terraria folder, then verifying files
- Clearing steam cache
- Uninstalling steam
- Running terraria from the EXE in its directory
- Running steam and terraria in admin mode
- Running steam and terraria in compatibility mode
- Disabling fullscreen optimizations
- Disabling windows defender
- Disabling firewall
- Reinstalling XNA
- Reinstalling DirectX
- Using the .NET repair tool
- Disabling most .NET components
- Disabling .NET, then forcing it to update (my version was 4.8 before and after this)
- Messing with the DLL files in the .NET folders multiple times, as suggested by many posters who had the same error: but replacing both mscoree.dll, msvcp.dll and msvcr.dll (yes, I made sure to put them in the right folders) corrupted my whole NET runtime and sometimes my pc as a whole, forcing me to do a system restore both times.
- Reset Windows to its factory state
- Restoring Windows 10
I might be forgetting some of the simpler ones.
Any help is appreciated. I emailed the Terraria support 3 days ago and while I do understand they are swamped and can't respond, it's getting a little disheartening to know not even a whole windows reinstall can't fix this. Terraria is also the only app I've ever seen do anything like this on steam.
