Hi @Gamma Sandwich, sorry, I think my alerts derped and I’m just now seeing this.Im am on android. I try to open Terraria and its on a black screen with a thorn chakra spinning. Has anyone come across this? Is there a fix? @Unit One, have you heard of this? Thank you for any help.
Hi @Xeden, sorry to hear your game is doing the black screen. Here’s some more info:Hi, I'm also experiencing this exact same problem on android, just a black screen with the spinning thorn chakra when starting up the game. It just started happening out of the blue. Unfortunately, I don't have any cloud saves :/ Could someone more experienced please explain:
A: Why this just spontaneously happened?
B: How to back up local saves?
or/and
C: How to restore the game from the spinning thorn chakra on a black screen state on startup, to a normally functioning game?
I don't have any issues navigating the file system, or if I need to root my device.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

It sucks to have to restart but the reinstall does fix the issue just saving to cloud more often now
The exact messages I get on my device when starting up the game is... (whilst wifi is active)
"Connecting to Server"
followed shortly by...
"Failed download/install"
All of these appear in the black starup screen with the spinning thorn chakram. Would these provide any clues? Point to any specific issues?
Btw:- Just for the record, the mobile backup instructions mentioned in the fourth post in this thread, only work if you're able to actually start the game and get into the main menu where the backup options are.
Losing the saves isn't the greatest, but not being able to play is worse I think.I bet it would work if I deleted it and did a reinstallation, but then of course I'd lose the elusive saves
The text looks like it might be from the os itself, I replaced the default samsung os with lineageos. It helps to speed up the phone quite a bit, an its updated regularly. I'm thinking maybe something happened during an update? Just a guess tho.
If I try the same thing with no wifi on, I just get a message on that screen saying "Network not available".
Well, I faced up and deleted my whole game completely off my device. Including my saves. Did a fresh install, sure enough Terraria started up ok and I was able to play. Played for a while, saved my game then quit out. ....
Then a few days later, I started the game up again to be met with the same spinning green thorn chakram stuck on the black screen. I had played once.
So, as it stands, I currently have a paid for, full version on my mobile, which I can’t play. Support, anyone?
