Console and Mobile News: Windows Phone Fix Incoming and More!

Not open for further replies.
We have queries in the pipe regarding Window 10 mobile version, I honestly do not have an answer for that at the moment.

Is there a place where we can report bugs?
http://forums.terraria.org/index.php?forums/mobile-bug-reports.149/ and/or the 505Games Support link in my signature.

I immediately jumped into terraria to check if I could capitalize world and character names, and it wasn't fixed. Downloading it again to see if it works.
Kindle Fire 512 RAM
[doublepost=1465432192,1465431812][/doublepost]Opening game and creating a new world caused the 1.2 update message to pop up what it going on
512MB RAM? Is it a 1st-Gen Kindle Fire?
You might be out of luck there. You need Android 4.0.3 compatibility for this version, and according to this, 1st Gen Kindles only support up to Android 2.3.3
I don't know that for sure, but the warnings about having < 1GB RAM have been out for a while now.

Capitalization of world/player names does not appear to be fixed in this version, which is mildly annoying, I agree. Another update is in the works, they wanted to get something out now since it had been held up for so long with the cloud save/crashing issues.

So lumia and Amazon are confirmed, what about iOS/Apple?
Still pending, I do not know whether they've been submitted for certification yet or not. AFAIK, still on track with the estimates in the OP of this thread.
 
I just checked my lumia 930 at the store for terraria,it says terraria isn't available for windows 10 devices,oh well now we have to wait more or downgrade just to play it,or deal with the fact that we wasted some money on something we can't use
yes you have to search google for the official nokia recovery tool,but it will reset your phone to factory settings and to windows 8
 
okay so the amazon updaye isnt available for phones but it is available for kindle, i see a bit of a problem here
Same problem here. Not running the game on a kindle and there is no update. Anyone else with a similar issue?? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Edit: For clarification; the store shows the new build, new game icon and new release notes but is NOT giving me the option to update. Is it possible the update is not ready yet or is there some other issue? Again thanks for any help or information!

I am currently downgrading to windows 8.1. Hope this works and I can still reinstall Terraria because I already purchased it.

Again, we are checking with 505Games on the Win 10 issue. We were not given any indication that it wouldn't work on Win 10 Mobile.

You're certainly free to do as you wish with your device, but as of now we aren't recommending that as a fix.

Oh well I already did it and terraria works fine so thanks guys:)
 
Hello Terrarians!

We would like to share the latest on the Console and Mobile side of Terraria development. There is a lot of information to share today, including some GREAT news on the mobile side! We can't thank you enough for your patience and continued support while we work to bring fixes and new content to consoles and mobile devices.

3DS

As you know, the Frost Moon update launched a couple of weeks ago in Europe, but we identified a nasty multiplayer bug that we quickly fixed and resubmitted to both NOE and NOA. At the same time, we pulled the American update before it went out so that we limited exposure to that bug. Well, we have good news to report - Terraria 3DS v1.03 (Frost Moon Update + Multiplayer Bug Fix) is set to release in Europe on June 10, with the American release to follow soon after (we'll update as soon as we have confirmation on the American date). You can refer back to this post to see what is coming to 3DS along with more save slots!

MOBILE

iOS & Google Play

This update brings Extra Save Slots and a "Save Backup" Function to Mobile Terraria! Beyond doubling your existing number of save slots for worlds and characters, this long-desired feature will allow you to copy worlds and characters (like you can on PC, for example) - allowing you to create regular backups of your most important saves. We hope this will help lessen the sting in the event that you run into some nasty issue that messes up your worlds or characters! In addition, this new functionality will allow players to do things like moving save files from device A to device B using the cloud.

Save Slots
  • Characters: Players will now have access to 6 Local and 6 Cloud save slots
  • Worlds: Players will now have access to 6 Local and 3 Cloud save slots
  • These save slots are available for use with the new Backup Function and/or to create new Characters and Worlds - it will be entirely up to you in regards to how you choose to use them!

Backup Function
For further clarity, this will allow players to make a copy of any existing local or cloud file to any other open cloud or local save slot that they have. For example:
  • Local - Local
  • Local - Cloud
  • Cloud - Local

These will all now be possible for the file safety of our players and for their convenience when moving between devices.

The update is in the final stages of QA and if everything goes well, we will submit it this next week (or potentially 6/13, depending on any back and forth on minor issues).

Windows Phone
*UPDATE* The Windows Phone update is live as of June 8th

We have at long last resolved the universal crashing issue for Windows Phone – with a few exceptions noted below (please read)!

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR WINDOWS PHONE USERS
  • The Lumia 640 LTE still has a 100% crash bug that we have been trying to crack for literally months now, with no success. Until such point as that is resolved (if ever), we would advise anyone with a Lumia 640 LTE to not purchase the game.
  • UPDATE: Some overnight news for our WP players - we have continued working on a fix for the Lumia 640 LTE...and we think we finally had a breakthrough. We have tested it all morning long and are no longer experiencing the crashes we were before (which were easy to find, since they occurred on startup). As a result, we are removing the Lumia 640 LTE from our list of devices with known critical issues!
  • The update is working well on devices that have at least 1GB of RAM. The team is working to lower that threshold to 512MB currently, but we are definitely seeing performance issues below 1GB, so we cannot guarantee as to whether or not this will be possible on every 512MB device. Rest assured that we will try our best here – but we did want to share that note of caution.

All of that said, our current plan – barring any last minute critical issues – is to put this into final QA the rest of this week and then submit to Microsoft for approval next week. We know this has been a long and painful road for our WP players – one that has hopefully close to its conclusion.



*UPDATE* The Amazon update is live as of June 8th

We are in very final QA here on the update (literally waiting on a couple of people we know to have had issues in the past to loop back to us) and then we will be submitting the update to Amazon for approval!

This update will at long last bring the 1.2.3-4 content that other mobile users received at the end of 2015 to our Amazon players – along with all of the bug fixes that we have rolled out over the past few months AND expanded worlds. Once we have this build out and stable, we will get to work on bringing the extra saves and backup functionality to Amazon – we could have waited, but that would have required further delays to getting you guys the huge pile of content that you have been eagerly awaiting.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please Review THIS THREAD for previously-announced information regarding the need to migrate your Amazon cloud saves prior to the update (if you use cloud saving).

CONSOLE

About a month ago, we updated you on the forthcoming update for console Terraria, which will bring the game in line with PC 1.2.4, adding in the highly anticipated missing content. The good news is we’re coming to the end of this work. Per-platform updates as follows:

PS3, PS4, and Vita:

*UPDATE* The Playstation update is live as of June 9th

The patch candidates are in with QA, and are looking good. We’ve got no issues that would block submission currently, and if that’s still the case by Friday we’ll submit for Sony approval this week. Providing we don’t hit any last minute issues, we’ll be out by June 17th, or hopefully sooner. We’ll confirm the date once we’re Sony approved.

Xbox One and Xbox 360:

The Xbox versions are a couple of days behind the Sony ones, owing to a problem with the X360 to X1 save game transfer, which is now resolved. We’ll do our best to get this out the same time as the PlayStation patches, but it’s possible this will follow the week after. Again, we’re not able to confirm a date until Xbox approves the patch. Stay tuned!

Wii U:

The disc version will release on June 26th in Europe and June 28th for North America. The eShop digital version will release on June 16th. There will be a day 1 patch for both versions, of approximately 50mb. Not massive, but just a heads up. At launch, the Wii U version will be *slightly* behind the other console versions (it doesn’t have all of the content that’s added in the June patch on the other platforms) but we plan to issue a ‘catch-up’ patch in due course.

Thanks as always for your continued support and feedback! Stay tuned for updates and confirmations as each of these moves on the next/final steps. :)
OMG THE UPDATE CAME TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Anyone else having issue with not being able to update via the Amazon store on non-kindle devices?
Which device, specifically?

For anyone having trouble getting the update - PLEASE tell us what devices/OS versions/etc. you have. It helps us greatly to narrow down the source(s) of the issue. Thanks.
 
changing topics a little bit here. the PS4 update just came out, now, theoretically speaking, shouldn't that mean the PS3 update is out too? they can't let people on PS4 who have updated content play with PS3 players who don't have the updated content, it just doesn't work that way, unless they take away the multiplayer option completely away until the earlier Gen's get their update
[doublepost=1465481802,1465481604][/doublepost]i take that back, i am updating my ps3 as I type.
 
Hello everyone. We have an update on the “Incompatible Device” Issues that some users are experiencing:

WINDOWS PHONE:
· Terraria is a win8 app, but should run on Win10 devices.
· ‘The "incompatible" with Win10 devices issue is a backend system thing that is making win10 devices think they are incompatible when they should be able to run the game. We are looking into ways to get around that.


AMAZON:
· Non-Amazon devices running the Amazon version with at least 1GB of RAM and capable of running Android 4.02+ should be able to be "compatible" soon - we are just making sure that things are stable on mainline Amazon devices at the same tier first before introducing more variables.
· First Gen Kindles will unfortunately not be compatible with this update as they cannot support the needed OS and Hardware Specs
· Second Gen Kindles (those that meet the 1gb and 4.02+ OS requirements) should have their compatibility restored at the same time as the non-Amazon devices do.

Sincerely sorry for the confusion and the added wait for some of you - we will be working as hard as possible to clear out the last remaining obstacles and get this update in your hands ASAP.

Stay tuned!

PS: A HUGE thanks to @Tunnel King for his support of everyone on this - and everything else. :cool:
 
WOOOH Update!!!! Thank you so much, guys <3 Split Spectre headpieces, good thing I got all my Fishron pieces before the update :dryadwink:
