I don't know what actionable items could be taken by the devs on this, but I think reporting it here at least for future google searches would be a good idea.
I started playing Terraria after a year and a half of putting it down (since about March of 2022) and when I tried to launch the game it crashed, I set the -logerrors and -logfile launch options, and it logged the following error (excerpted from attached log):
Exception: System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

HResult: -2146233054
When I tried to uninstall and re-install the game through Steam, it still crashed. I then purged the game by uninstalling in Steam, deleting (or moving) the `...\Steam\steamapps\common\Terraria` folder and the `...\Documents\My Games\Terraria` folder. And when I re-installed the game, it launched fine.
I noticed that some files were left behind with the Steam uninstall, and so I moved those files back in one at a time and noticed that there was a ReLogic.dll file that was left behind and it caused the error indicated in the log file.
So not sure if this is something that the Devs can address for the Steam version, as I don't know how Steam updates work. But for the average user, it is worth double-checking the Steam install location and making sure everything is gone when doing an uninstall. Or just remove that DLL file from your folder tree IF you are getting crashing.
Another peculiarity I noticed is that TmodLoader worked fine, with this dll file in the tree. Not sure why. And I remember messing with plugins of some kind in the past so this file might be left over from that, but I have a suspicion it is more of a file not used by ReLogic anymore.
I am currently fine, and reporting this for future Terraria users and if the devs can address this issue of a potentially deprecated file not being removed properly.
