Okay I have this same problem. All of my chests will not open and there is a giant wall of dirt on the edge of my world. I've read and you say there is no solution to this problem. I think that the makers of terraria should FIX THIS PROBLEM/BUG. I was just about ready to fight planters and this happens and I am really, really mad at the game makers of this game because of this bug, which had happened and was obviously, NEVER fixed. My NPCs also disappeared. This makes me furious because I really enjoyed this game and because no one can seem to fix it, I can't play it and lost EVERYTHING.
[DOUBLEPOST=1438287684,1438287407][/DOUBLEPOST]And since there is "no solution" I have to restart the whole game. Which really sucks and I completely blame this entirely on all the companies that made Terraria. Thank you so much for ruining my favorite game. You guys suck, a lot. :/
I'm probably going to quit playing my favorite game now...
[DOUBLEPOST=1438287993][/DOUBLEPOST]Also this forum helped me realize that the makers are idiots and worry more about making new problems than fixing the old ones. All the moderaters and others didn't help anything. I absolutely hate this whole game base until it's fixed. Which will probably be never.
