Terrarian
Terraria is using a very outdated version of FNA. It is possible to update FNA to get massive performance improvements on Mac and Linux.
FNA outdated bug filed here
Ethan Lee the FNA developer wrote a script to update FNA
Original FNA update script (not working)
It is currently no longer working as the Terraria developers need to fix or update SDL2.
I updated the FNA update script to get it working on the most current version of Terraria
Use this script to get the most current version of FNA (not tested on Mac)
FNA update script
Linux Guide:
Place this file fnaUpdate.sh in your Terraria folder
Open your Terraria folder in terminal and run these two commands
chmod +x fnaUpdate.sh
./fnaUpdate.sh -autoarch
Add a Non-Steam game and select Terraria.bin.x86_64 in your Terraria folder
Use this to run Terraria (Steam will still see you running the regular version of Terraria with all Steam features working)
Alternative: Use this script to update FNA to the less current version 1707 (latest version to work with 32bit)
