Terrarian
a few days ago i was playing with a new character, but my game crashed. i tried restarting my PC, my steam, my terraria. but nothing worked I tried to reinstall terraria, but that crashed my Steam, and now that wont work, tried reinstalling steam , but nothings working, please help, terraria is my favorite game, and m being forced to play MINECRAFT!!!!!!
 
If your steam is working, try going to terraria > Properties > Local files > Verify integrity of game cache > Wait.
This will make steam check if your game has corrupted or missing files on terraria, and if it finds any of the two it will replace them with functioning ones.
I hope this works for you!

You will get basic information about your Processor and RAM. If you wish to get a full detailed list, you can use third party software to determine your specifications or salvage the information from the Device Manager (Advanced Users). You may also use the available and recommended Third Party Software to gain your full system specifications for our technicians.

NOTE: If you are using an illegal copy of the game, you will receive no support, this process determines if you are using a legal copy.

Troubleshooting Your Problem with TerrariaServer.exe
In order to figure out what your problem is with the game, we require that you run the Terraria Server Client (TerrariaServer.exe). This will display any errors or successes on launch. Should there be any errors from the program itself, use the command prompt and copy the error to display it here.
  1. Right click within the Command Prompt.
  2. In the drop-down menu, select Mark.
  3. Once you made a selection, Right Click or Press Enter to copy.
  4. Paste your results in your thread.
If you have trouble with the above instructions, your system might be showing "Not Responding" or your System may need to be rebooted to start clean.

Before proceeding any further, please delete the config.dat file located in your Terraria Folder under My Documents/My Games. Then start Terraria again, this may fix some unexplained issues, but we wish to make sure you are running a nice and clean installation:
  1. Locate My Documents Folder.
  2. Open My Games Folder.
  3. Open Terraria Folder.
  4. Delete Config.dat file from this location.
Verify Terraria's Steam Cache
If your game is unresponsive at times it is recommended you do a Verify Steam Cache with the game provided for Steam (This does not include GOG Version).
  1. Goto My Library on Steam.
  2. Right-Click Terraria and Select Properties.
  3. Goto Local Files Tab.
  4. Now Select Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
If you have trouble with the above instructions, you may be using a different provider or retailer.
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My world has corrupted somehow and will not load properly, what can I do?
A: You may have corrupted the world by using modded clients, computer shutdown before the world could complete the save, or system failure within Terraria that caused the problem. You can try attempting to load your world using TEdit (Download).

Q: My game is not launching, or I get errors regarding XNA/.NET Framework!
A: You can attempt to make sure you have all Game Dependencies first, then try attempting this solution:

If you don't feel like sifting through all that, it's basically to do with the framework permissions.

This is how you change the right to use Framework/XNA:
  1. Right-Click the specific directory (Listed Below).
  2. Select Properties.
  3. Select the Security Tab
  4. Click on Advanced Option
  5. Select the Owner Tab
  6. Click on the bottom button to Edit.
  7. On this window select the Administrator in the row and make sure to select the Checkboxes below.
  8. Hit Apply and close all the windows.
  9. Try running the game again.
Do the above for all of the following FOLDERS:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32:
Microsoft.Xna.Framework\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Xact\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL:
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Avatar\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GamerServices\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input.Touch\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Net\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Storage\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Video\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553

Q: Steam has reported that one (1) file has failed verification and was downloaded?
A: This file is known as the serverconfig.txt file. Originally this file shouldn't be packed with the game as Terraria should create this file automatically on launch if it is missing or out of date. Due to it being changed and updated by server owners, the file will constantly fail the verification process. This has no effect on playing the game, and can be ignored.
 
Damn, we wouldn't want you playing Minecraft, poor soul. ;)

Try this:

- Start services.msc in run.
- Find "Application Experience", enable it, start the service, and set it to automatic start.
- Uninstall steam from control panel and use CCleaner to clean out its registry entries.
- Start installing steam again.

(Stolen from a help forum that worked for some people).

Here's another solution I copypasta'd from ultradude25 you might try:

First, do a clean uninstall and reinstall Steam as usual,
Make sure to move your SteamApps folder and Serverbrowser.vdf (In the Config folder), if you want to keep your games and server Favourites list,
Now wait until it gets to the error about Steam.exe still being there,
Go to your Steam folder and delete SteamTmp.exe and SteamNew.exe.
You'll not be able to delete Steam.exe because it doesn't actually exist, Windows just believes it does. Just wait a few minutes, make a Coffee or something.
Once Steam.exe has gone, go to the Control Panel and do a repair,
Now restart your computer in Safe Mode with Networking (Spam F8 before it boots Windows).
Go to the Steam folder and run Steam.exe with Admin privileges.
Steam should download and update properly now,
Don't log in yet,
Stick SteamApps folder and Serverbrowser.vdf back in,
Log in, set your usual settings and you're done.
You can now reboot Windows normally and use your games.
