Greetings Terrarians!
We have a fresh batch of fixes and tweaks out today for our friends on Xbox and PlayStation! Take a look, and please keep your feedback coming!
Patch Notes for v1.4.0.5.6
New!
- Move the Sun! You can now control the sun and the moon on the frontend menu by holding RT/R2 + right stick. Give it a whirl!
- It's back! It is again possible to use the Touch Pad on the PS4 Dualshock Controller to zoom in and out of the world and transition between the world and map!
- In Settings >> Controller >> Pinch Zoom World and Pinch Zoom Map are now available
Improved!
- Based on player feedback we've fixed the hotbar navigation when a Dynamic Hotbar item is bound to a hotbar slot, making it easier to jump through the Hotbar
- Improved mouse & keyboard support across the board. Keyboard bindings for inventory management are now closer to PC
- Use Shift/Ctrl/Alt + click to quick deposit/sell, quick trash and favorite items
- Press Alt + left click to toggle the vanity visibility on equipment (this differs from PC, pressing Alt changes the cursor to an eye and you can click anywhere in the slot)
- In Settings >> Keyboard & Mouse >> Quick Trash can be set to Shift + click or Ctrl + click
- Improved world creation speed!
- Improved boot up time, the game now starts a little bit quicker!

If you have worlds where you cannot get your friend to join them, and you're able to access your files on PS4, please send us the world file so we can investigate further Upload your PS4 game files to the devs
- Please let us know if you experience a crash by reporting it in the forums and including as much detail as possible!
And many more fixes!
- Fixed the issue where some players were unable to unlock Pet Collector achievement. Please let us know if you still are having an issue by raising a bug in the forums!

this is a harder fix to add as it's not supported by the Xbox's default text input system
- Sorry Xbox players
- Fixed a bug where the frame rate would drop when the housing menu was open and you had a lot of NPCs
- Fixed the issue where the summons tag on enemies could disappear if you got too far away from the enemy, making it hard to know who your summons were targeted on

- Fixed a missing controller prompt on tutorial dialog boxes

Fantastic work by DR Studios again. These additions and fixes are great, I’m hoping the console players enjoy this latest patch of goodness.

Have the "encumbering stone" and "eaters bone" bugs been fixed yet? I have killed over 100 eater of worlds and opened over 100 sandstone chests and still haven't been able to get those items so I'm guessing its a glitch and the Terraria Wikis wrong. My friends who also play on console haven't been able to get those items too. If I'm wrong and the encumbering stones in the game could somebody give me a world seed with one in it or show proof that they've got these items in their 1.4 worlds because I haven't seen anybody with them on the PS4 version.

Does this patch add split screen online back? If not, do we have an update on when it's coming back?

I kinda liked being able to pick items up from halfway across the screen. It came in handy during invasions and blood moons.

Not in this patch. No timeline yet. Definitely remains on the list.

90%+ of the time, “I did X a lot of times and didn’t get <drop>“ is just bad luck in regards to RNG.
Independent probability is like that.
Drop rate on eaters bone is only 5%. On 100 rolls, that means a 0.6% chance of not getting one. Unlucky sure, but not insane (I’ve had WAY worse in my gaming life haha).
Chest drops are always a bit harder to gauge.
I’m sure we can have the team look - but just saying, based on 10.5 years of such reports, it’s almost always just “bad RNG luck”.

Gahh, was really hoping an auto select + smart cursor fix would be in this one. Any chance to get more visibility on it outside of making a bug report? Made one a month ago but it didn't get much attention.

I've got it detailed here:What, precisely is the issue? Just making sure its known.

PS4 - Auto Select is unable to use Smart Cursor
While holding the Auto Select (AS) button, Smart Cursor (SC) will not toggle. Having SC on before holding AS will toggle SC off until AS is released. Video Examples: Toggling SC while AS is held SC turning off when AS is held

Is there an issue with the Autosave option? I have it Off so I can quit out of the game (xbox) without any changes to my maps, inventory, etc. While testing Moon Lord summons today, I quit out and returned to the game, only to find out it saved during gameplay. I did not perform Save & Exit at all, and had to do this process twice to make sure I wasn't mistaken. Does the game Autosave regardless when the player dies? I would prefer the game wouldn't save at all, thus Autosave off. Any suggestions?

Amazing! It works just like it did pre-JE update. Many thanks to the team!Improved!
- Based on player feedback we've fixed the hotbar navigation when a Dynamic Hotbar item is bound to a hotbar slot, making it easier to jump through the Hotbar

What exactly changed? I don't immediately notice any difference.And many more fixes!
- Fixed! The housing menu should be easier to navigate/query/assign npcs now!
Curious to what these were!
- Fixed a number of UI visual and graphical issues
Bit unrelated, but will we ever get an option to disable the lock-on arrow, for example if we don't use lock-on at all? I really want enemies to just appear as enemies without the yellow arrows telling me they can be locked on, even though I don't even use the function.
- Fixed issue where sometimes when using a crafting station items could appear at a locked-on enemy's location

is there a way to add back the built in keyboard added in 1.3, instead of using the console's keyboard? It can interrupt the other players in split-screen.
