PC Terraria won't start

[jmvl]

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:

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?

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.

It works now, thanks for the super quick fix!

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?
