PC Terraria won't start

Terrarian
I recently built a new PC and installed Terraria (from Steam) to try the latest updates. Unfortunately the game won't start at all. I get the following error:

Code:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Terraria.IO.ResourcePackList.CreatePackEntryListFromJson(JArray serializedState)
   at Terraria.IO.ResourcePackList.CreatePacksFromSavedJson(JArray serializedState, IServiceProvider services, String searchPath, List`1 resourcePacks)
   at Terraria.IO.ResourcePackList.FromJson(JArray serializedState, IServiceProvider services, String searchPath)
   at Terraria.Main.LoadContent()
   at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game.Initialize()
   at Terraria.Main.Initialize()
   at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game.RunGame(Boolean useBlockingRun)
   at Terraria.Program.RunGame()

I tried:
-Reinstalling XNA framework
-Reinstalling .net framework
-Reinstalling the game
-Deleting config files in /My Games/Terraria
-Using admin / win8 compatibility (I'm on win11)

My drivers are up to date and other games work fine.
I currently don't have any save games, mods or anything else installed - it's a fresh vanilla install.
Any ideas?
 
Leinfors has mentioned that Re-Logic are aware of the issue - there is a hotfix incoming.

Thanks for the quick response - and my bad, didn't find that post using the search.
 
This should already be fixed as specified in the other thread; restart Steam if needed to jumpstart an update. :)

Unfortunately we can't help you if you pirated the game. I'm sorry to hear that you can't afford it, the mobile version is a bit cheaper AFAIK so maybe try saving up for that one?
