Processor: i7 7700K RAM: 20GB (2x 8GB, 1x 4GB) Motherboard: Asus Prime B250M-A Graphic Card: GTX 1060 3GB Storage: SSD 240GB, HD 1TB OS: Windows 10 21h1 Displays: One 1920x1080 60hz and one 1920x1080 144hz
Hey everyone, my friend is having a REALLY stressful bug that is driving both of us crazy. We tried a lot of different ways of fixing this but nothing succeeded, so our last hope is the community. I tried contacting a Dev through discord, but I think they're probably too busy to help us out. Anyway, here is the bug.
You can see some black bars suddendly appearing and disappearing at his screen
Here you can see how frequent the lines and bars can be
The bug started about a week ago, we were playing normally when these black bars/rectangles/lines started showing up randomly on his screen, at first I thought it could be his Graphic Drivers that weren't updated, but as soon as we realized that this was not the case, everything started to get strange. Even when the black bars stop for a bit, the game crashes after a few minutes playing. Right now, the game isn't even launching properly, most of the times crashing on startup. Here is a list of ALL the things we have tried so far:
[Software] is for troubleshooting his OS (dealing with files, drivers, anything OS related).
[Hardware] is for any troubleshooting in his PC (changing components, switching cables, etc).
[In-Game] is for any changes done inside the game, such as the settings.
- [Software]Updating his Graphic Card Drivers
- [Software]Clean Graphic Card Driver Reinstall
- [Software]Deleting and Re-Installing XNA Framework 4.0
- [Hardware]Changing Monitors
- [Hardware]Changing HDMI and Display Port cables
- [Software]Verifying Steam Files Integrity
- [Software]Deleting config.json and re-acquiring on steam
- [Software]Re-Installing the game in another Hard drive (SSD and HD)
- [In-game]Setting Parallax to 0
- [Software]Changing the monitor's refresh rate to 144hz and to 60hz (Not so fun fact: The game won't even open if the monitor is running in 144hz)
- [In-game]Changing frame skip to Subtle/Off/On
- [In-game]Swapping between Fullscreen/Windowed/Borderless Window On/Off
- [Software]Changing display and resolution settings in config.json
- [Hardware]Formatting his entire drive (SSD and HD)
- [Software]Checking other games to see if they were faulty as well (I started thinking it was his Graphic Card, but Forza Horizon 4, Final Fantasy XIV, League of Legends and Astroneer were doing just fine)
- [Hardware]Switching to Onboard instead of his Graphic Card
- [Software]Setting Terraria properties to open in admin, with compatibility mode and with reduced colors
- [Software]Changing monitor's native resolution
- [Software]Running Terraria Server to see if there were any crash logs (There weren't, the server opens just fine)
- [In-game]Making a Portal Gun Launch to see if the problem was the background and his speed (Big thanks to AydenTheFox_15 for the help)
- [Software]Disabling NVidia Geforce Experience
- [Hardware]Checking his SSD/HD health
- [Software]Unsubscribing from all his Steam Workshop mods (There were 3, Calamity Texture Pack, Doom Music and Storage World)
I've been playing this game since 2012 and I've never seen this in my whole life, we are almost giving up hope that terraria will work again for him. Feel free to ask for dump logs or any sort of files that could help us solve this problem.
Thank you all!
