Terrarian
I don't know if I am putting this in the right place since the guidelines of this section and technical support both tell me to put this in the other, so I am gonna put it here and hope for the best, I apologize if I put it in the wrong spot.
So, it all started when I was playing Terraria with a friend, and after a few hours of playing, my computer's battery died, so I spent the next few minutes getting back into everything. So, after I was back on Terraria, I was kicked from the game, probably because my battery died and it took the internet connectivity with it, or some weird reason like that, I don't know why I am always kicked from servers when my battery dies, I just am. Anyway, after I get back on Terraria (note, I am only on the title screen) my computer freezes up, and I mean, completely, no mouse movement, no ctrl+alt+del, nothing. So I am left with only one option, perform a hard shutdown. After I restart and turn my computer back on, and get to the desktop, I decide to open Terraria back up. It opens after a minute or two, and I go to join my friends' game, but there's an issue, the character I have been using for the past few days is gone. So I look through to make sure Terraria isn't just pulling a trick on me and moved it, but sure enough, it's gone. I check the recycle bin to see if it's there, and sure enough, there is my character, Timothy the 1st (it's a long story about why I named it that). I think "hey, if I restore it, maybe it'll show back up", sure enough, it does go back to the folder, but every time I go to the character select screen, it's back in the Recycle Bin. Now, I never did delete the character, I couldn't have, since shortly after I got back on the Terraria title screen and pressed shift+tab to rejoin my friend, it froze. So, I started to wonder if it could've gotten corrupted or not, but I can also rule that out since I wasn't using the character when I had to turn off my computer, so that shouldn't be an issue either. After all of this wondering and confusion, I just decided to come here and post on the forums, since I have no other idea about why this could've happened, much less how to solve it. I will appreciate any advice given, since I don't wanna have to spend another 10 or more hours on a character. I posted a screenshot of the character in the recycle bin so I have some proof, I was thinking about showing it missing, but if it's in the recycle bin, it's pretty safe to assume it's not on the selection screen. I hope I can have this issue resolved soon, so I can go back to progressing in the game. Also, one more question, what armor do you recommend for Cthulu? I tried to fight it with tin and lead armor, and I had a tungsten bow and did a fair amount of damage to the boss, but that coupled with me not having any real healing potions other than the lesser ones, ended up with me being killed, and I had a friend helping me too.
Sorry in advance for the wall of text.
