Yup, unfortunately. Seems like with every new BUGfix, there are more BUGS to FiX... Irony much?
Lol, I was just testing out the new bugfix when I ran into THAT.
Yeah, but the development team has a literal 'heap' of problems, as stated by the new update post.
It just doesn't help my confidence in playing, since not only is my main character in an unknown state (deleted/corrupted or recoverable?), but it does nothing to reassure that another character or world locking glitch won't happen again.
The Heap issue does explain a few things. If the data system gives erroneous values to things, due to a system operations error, one of which being the version number, (or in your case, the wrong block ID# for spawned Ore) then it is only a matter of time before it strikes again and corrupts something else.
...
But I need to review my Comp Sci on Heap data types, since I'm sure I'm forgetting some key points about it.
@mech4warden , if you read the OP instead of assuming, it was just talking about changing the time, not save locations. I was trying to help by giving as much details as possible and not make snottish comments like yourself.
I did read it. They wanted data connectivity as well as being able to change the device's time.
And at some point a person has to assume things, since it is hard for someone to fully describ a problem they don't fully understand. I didn't know why they needed to connect to the LTE network, but I knew they likely had some good reasons to (like iCloud access).
I'm sorry that my comments seem 'snottish', but I was doing the same thing you were, explaining things as best as possible with what I knew.
You were wrong on your assumptions, and I was wrong with the wording of my corrections when I knew better. I was lazy, despite my gut feeling saying I shouldn't have said it that way.
OK , just updated, first, who do I rage against with this current update ? I bought terraria MOBILE on September 16 2013 for my nexus 7 2012 device, game/app was young but not rife with as many problems as today, jump to August 2015 my N7 2012 devices' screen breaks so i bought a N7 2013, an improvement to the previous N7 slightly, before this current update I could not play the version i payed for without turning on the wifi it reverts back to trial/demo version, now this current update is the same, no play the version I BOUGHT with out turning on wifi, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON !!?? whats the deal codeglue/505games? no more play of your game without being connected to the net(wifi) ? 505game developers need find new coders to code the game properly, I bought terraria MOBILE not terraria PC or terraria CONSOLE, so I DON'T HAVE TO BE TETHERED(CONNECTED) TO THE NET/WIFI ! (end of rant)
Sounds like several problems are happening at once.
First off, I should point out that the trial version of Terraria and the full version
have the same name. Even if you bought the game, the trial version will always say to buy the full version (one of my several gripes I have with how things work). You might need to uninstall the trial version just so there isn't any confusion.
This assumes there isn't any weird purchase verification issue with whatever app store you have, in which case I can't offer much help until there is more info.
I'm confused by the Wi-Fi issue you stated. I do know that some app stores are setup to warn you about downloading very large files, with Terraria being 100+ megabytes, it is one of those large apps. The app store would give a pop up asking if you want to download when on Wi-Fi, so not to mess with any data plan limitations.
Plus, the game needs to download things after being installed, which could also need a Wi-Fi connection.
With that confusing mess with Wi-Fi, and the trial and full version games being named the same, it is very easy to have something mess up somewhere along the line.
I'd first try to make sure the right kind of game is installed and go from there. From my experience, the trial is always the trial game, and the full version operates as the full version. I have both installed, so I can give some info as to what to look for to spot the difference.
And EVERYONE needs to be online. I'd have to test that out later. Unless someone else can verify things.
