Hello! This is an issue that I've been searching around for quite a long time but have found no proper solutions for it yet!

First of all, this issue is not on Re-Logic's fault! Well, partially since the ARM processors Apple made has some issues handling the game, and Terraria is not quite compatible for it YET.... hopefully!

I was wondering if the developers are get working to make the game compatible with the M1/2 chipsets OR planning on to in the future..

Little bit of unnecessary comments but Terraria means a lot to me and was with me for my whole childhood, it still now is. I'm sincerely hoping for a good news regarding the compatibility for the game with M1/2 processor!

Kind regards,

Arm support will probably never be available

A guy developped a mod for Terraria to run natively on mac. It does work pretty well but I have no music or sound anymore (apparently I'm the only one). GitHub - Candygoblen123/TerrariaArmMac: A set of files and instructions to make Terraria run natively on Apple Silicon

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

How the performance of the late game events goes; if it runs smooth
ex. pillars, moon lord, etc.

Oh I'm not there yet. I can load an end game world tomorrow and see how it runs.

I just tried out on my 15 inch m2 air, it runs alright! It kind of lags on a heavily decorated houses but it's more than bearable. Thanks for letting me know tho!
