Unfortunately, games have flaws: stutters, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not so minor errors. Often problems begin even before the game starts, when it does not install, does not load, or does not even download. And the computer itself sometimes does weird things, and then in Terraria there’s a black screen instead of a picture, the controls don’t work, you can’t hear the sound or anything else.

What to do first

1. Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download via direct link) - this is a program that will clean your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
2. Update all drivers on the system using the program Driver Updater (download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
3. Install the program WinOptimizer(download via direct link) and include it in it game mode, which will end useless background processes while running games and improve in-game performance.

The second thing to do if you encounter any problems with Terraria is to check the system requirements. In a good way, you need to do this before purchasing, so as not to regret the money spent.

Terraria minimum system requirements:

Windows XP, C clock frequency 1.6 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 200 MB HDD, Shader support 1.1 128 MB

Every gamer should have at least a little understanding of components, know why a video card, processor and other things are needed system unit.

Files, drivers and libraries

Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that provide correct work computer.

You should start with the drivers for your video card. Modern graphic cards are produced only by two large companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product drives the coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the latest driver package:

A prerequisite for the successful functioning of Terraria is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to easily and quickly download the latest drivers and install them with one click:

If Terraria does not start, we recommend that you try disabling your antivirus or putting the game in antivirus exceptions, and also check compliance again system requirements and if something from your assembly does not match, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful components.

Terraria has a black screen, a white screen, and a color screen. Solution

Problems with screens of different colors can be divided into 2 categories.

Firstly, they often involve using two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has a built-in video card, but you are playing on a discrete one, then Terraria may be launched for the first time on the built-in one, but you will not see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.

Secondly, color screens occur when there are problems with displaying images on the screen. This can happen for various reasons. For example, Terraria cannot work through an outdated driver or does not support the video card. Also black/ white screen may be displayed when running at resolutions that are not supported by the game.

Terraria crashes. At a specific or random moment. Solution

You play for yourself, play and then - bam! - everything goes out, and now you have a desktop in front of you without any hint of a game. Why is this happening? To solve the problem, you should try to figure out what the nature of the problem is.

If a crash occurs at a random moment in time without any pattern, then with a 99% probability we can say that this is a bug of the game itself. In this case, it is very difficult to fix something, and the best thing to do is just put Terraria aside and wait for the patch.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash. In addition, you can download the Terraria save and bypass the departure location.

Terraria freezes. The picture freezes. Solution

The situation is approximately the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather to the developer’s mistake when creating it. However, often a frozen picture can become a starting point for investigating the deplorable state of a video card or processor.

So if the picture freezes in Terraria, then use programs to display statistics on component loading. Perhaps your video card has long exhausted its working life or the processor is heating up to dangerous temperatures?

The easiest way to check the load and temperatures for the video card and processors is in the MSI Afterburner program. If you wish, you can even display these and many other parameters on top of the Terraria image.

What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and video cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. For processors it is slightly lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the condition of the thermal paste. It may have already dried out and needs to be replaced.

If the video card is heating up, then you should use a driver or an official utility from the manufacturer. It is necessary to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and check whether the operating temperature decreases.

Terraria is slow. Low FPS. Frame rate drops. Solution

If there are slowdowns and low frame rates in Terraria, the first thing to do is lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are many of them, so before reducing everything, it’s worth finding out exactly how certain settings affect performance.

Screen resolution. In short, this is the number of points that make up the game picture. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is insignificant, so you should reduce the screen resolution only as a last resort, when everything else no longer helps.

Texture quality. Typically, this setting determines the resolution of texture files. You should reduce the texture quality if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if you are using a very old one. hard drive, whose spindle speed is less than 7200.

Model quality(sometimes just detailing). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more processing power from the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), which means this parameter should be reduced on video cards with low core or memory frequencies.

Shadows. They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are calculated in real time at every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. For optimization purposes, developers often abandon full rendering and add pre-rendered shadows to the game. They are static, because essentially they are just textures overlaid on top of the main textures, which means they load memory, and not the video card core.

Often developers add additional settings related to shadows:

• Shadow Resolution - Determines how detailed the shadow cast by an object will be. If the game has dynamic shadows, it loads the video card core, and if a pre-created render is used, then it “eats” the video memory.
• Soft shadows - smooths out unevenness in the shadows themselves, usually this option is given along with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.

Smoothing. Allows you to get rid of ugly corners on the edges of objects through the use of a special algorithm, the essence of which usually comes down to generating several images at once and comparing them, calculating the most “smooth” picture. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms that differ in their level of impact on Terraria performance.

For example, MSAA works head-on, creating 2, 4 or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4 or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms like FXAA and TAA work a little differently, achieving a smooth image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. Thanks to this, they do not reduce performance as much.

Lighting. As with anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. They all use video card resources, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on “green” ones. HDAO, on the contrary, is optimized for video cards from AMD. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so if it's slow in Terraria, it's worth switching to it.

What to reduce first? Shadows, anti-aliasing and lighting effects tend to take the most work, so it's best to start there.

Gamers often have to do the optimization of Terraria themselves. Almost all major releases have various related forums where users share their ways to improve productivity.

One of them is a special program called WinOptimizer. It is made specifically for those who do not want to manually clean the computer of various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. WinOptimizer will do this itself and also analyze your computer to identify ways to improve performance in applications and games.

Terraria lags. Large delay when playing. Solution

Many people confuse “brakes” with “lags,” but these problems have completely various reasons. Terraria slows down when the frame rate at which the image is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the delay when accessing the server or any other host is too high.

This is why lags can only occur in online games. The reasons are different: bad network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low Internet connection speed.

However, the latter happens least often. In online games, communication between client and server occurs through the exchange of relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough.

There is no sound in Terraria. I can't hear anything. Solution

Terraria works, but for some reason it doesn't sound - this is another problem that gamers face. Of course, you can play like this, but it’s still better to figure out what’s going on.

First you need to determine the scale of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or even on the computer? If only in a game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.

If there is no sound at all, then the problem is definitely in the computer settings. Drivers may not be installed correctly sound card, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error in our beloved Windows OS.

Controls don't work in Terraria. Terraria does not recognize mouse, keyboard or gamepad. Solution

How to play if it is impossible to control the process? Problems with supporting specific devices are inappropriate here, because we are talking about familiar devices - a keyboard, mouse and controller.

Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded; the problem is almost always on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but, one way or another, you will have to contact the driver. Usually, when you connect a new device, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice and gamepads are incompatible with them.

Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find its driver. Devices from well-known gaming brands often come with their own software packages, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot ensure the correct operation of all functions of a particular device.

If you don’t want to search for drivers for all devices separately, you can use the program Driver Updater. It is intended for automatic search drivers, so you just need to wait for the scan results and download necessary drivers in the program interface.

Often, Terraria brakes can be caused by viruses. In this case, it makes no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can scan your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32. The antivirus has proven itself to be the best and has been approved by millions of users around the world.

ZoneAlarm is suitable for both personal use and small businesses, capable of protecting your computer with operating system Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP from any attacks: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats. New users are given a 30-day free trial.

Nod32 is an antivirus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to security development. Versions of antivirus programs are available on the developer’s website for both PCs and mobile devices, a 30-day trial is provided. There are special conditions for business.

Terraria downloaded from a torrent does not work. Solution

If the game distribution was downloaded via torrent, then in principle there can be no guarantees of operation. Torrents and repacks are almost never updated through official applications and do not work over the network, because in the process of hacking, hackers cut out all network functions from games, which are often used to verify the license.

Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files in them have been changed. For example, to bypass protection, pirates modify the EXE file. At the same time, no one knows what else they do with it. Perhaps they are building in a self-executing software. For example, when the game is first launched, it will integrate into the system and use its resources to ensure the well-being of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees here and cannot be.

In addition, the use of pirated versions is, in the opinion of our publication, theft. The developers spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own money in the hope that their brainchild would pay off. And every work must be paid.

Therefore, if any problems arise with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using one or another means, you should immediately remove the pirated version, clean your computer with an antivirus and a licensed copy of the game. This will not only protect you from dubious software, but will also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.

Terraria gives an error about a missing DLL file. Solution

As a rule, problems associated with missing DLLs arise when starting Terraria, but sometimes the game can access certain DLLs during the process and, not finding them, crash in the most blatant manner.

To fix this error, you need to find the necessary DLL and install it on the system. The easiest way to do this is using the program DLL-fixer, which scans the system and helps quickly find missing libraries.

If your problem turns out to be more specific or the method outlined in this article did not help, then you can ask other users in our “” section. They will help you quickly!

Thank you for your attention!

Due to the development computer technology and the development of new software, there are often cases when drivers installed on a computer conflict with games already available on it. This causes some of them to stop running. Today we will look at the question of why Terraria does not start and what to do about it.

On the computer

There are two versions of the game in question - computer and mobile. Let's start to figure out why with the first option. A common situation that users encounter is that the game appears on Steam as running, but no windows open. After a few seconds, the process ends without launching the application. There are several options why Terraria does not start on PC.

• Computer system requirements do not meet.
• Lack of necessary software.
• Conflict with installed drivers and other utilities.

Based on these reasons, you need to look for a solution to the problem. But we'll talk about this a little lower.

On Android

Mobile device users also often encounter problems installing games. Why doesn't Terraria launch on Android? The reasons are similar to those we gave in the previous part. However, it is also worth adding a few points to them.

• Insufficient memory on the device.
• Gadget cache is full.
• The game was not installed correctly.

These are the main reasons why Terraria does not run on any computer.

Problem Solving

Having figured out why “Terraria” does not start, you can begin to solve the problem that has arisen. Remember all the changes you made; you may have to roll back the changes. Download any software only from official websites. Otherwise, no one will be able to guarantee the security of your computer. Let's start with the computer version.

• Go to the folder with the installed game. You should be interested in the Redist directory. It contains all the necessary additional software. Install the xnafx40.msi file from it.
• If the previous step did not help or the installation process was interrupted by an error, then run the manager installed programs and remove all versions from your computer. NET Framework. After this, try the operation again.
• Try disabling your antivirus when starting and installing the game.
• Running the game in compatibility mode and as an administrator occasionally helps solve the problem.
• Update all available drivers. Also make sure you have installed latest version MS Visual C++.

Things are no better with Android. If your game won't launch, make sure you know what you're doing. Otherwise, your device can easily turn into a useless “brick”.

• Free up space on your memory card.
• Clear the cache in all Google services and reinstall the game.
• Use only licensed version, downloaded from the Market. If you take a risk by using a pirated version, carefully follow the instructions indicated on the resource from which the game was downloaded.

There are times when Terraria refuses to start for unknown reasons. In most cases, the launch problem occurs after downloading a pirated version, the release of updates, or simply due to some kind of internal error. But what to do if Terraria won't start?

We fix the simplest mistakes

A new player needs to make sure that the system requirements of the device, be it a PC or an Android smartphone, meet the minimum system requirements of the game. Then you need to update to the latest version of the driver for the video card. And make sure that there are no Russian letters on the path to the game.

Downloading files for launch

If, after checking and updating the system, Terraria does not start, then you need to download a couple of files for manual configuration, namely:

• .NET Cleanup Tool
• .NET Framework 4
• .NET Verifier Tool
• XNA Framework 4.0

All files can be downloaded completely free of charge from the official Microsoft website, or you can download them from us.

Removing unnecessary things

After all the files have been downloaded, first of all you need to go to the “Control Panel” and open all the controls, then select the “Programs and Features” item. In this section, you need to remove all elements of the Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable and .NET Framework. Then you need to run the pre-loaded .NET CleanupTool (dotnetfx_cleanup_tool) which will remove all elements of the .NET Framework.

Next, we run the .NET Framework 4 installer, in the folder the file is signed as dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe for a 64-bit system or dotNetFx40_Full_x86.exe for a 32-bit system. Then you need to run the .NET VerifierTool (netfx_setupverifier_new) using this program we check the .NET Framework 4 packages for errors.

Installing XNA Framework 4.0

The next step is to install XNA Framework 4.0; to start the installation, open the xnafx40_redist.msi file.

After installation, you need to go to Steam, open the properties of Terraria, delete all local content and reinstall the game.

After this procedure, Terraria should work again.

What to do if Terraria pirate doesn't start?

Terraria is slow. Low FPS. Lags. Friezes. Freezes

First, install the latest drivers for your video card; this can significantly increase the FPS in the game. Also check your computer's load in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE). If before starting the game you see that some process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.

Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First of all, turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the post-processing settings. Many of them consume a lot of resources and disabling them will significantly improve performance without significantly affecting the quality of the picture.

Terraria crashes to desktop

If Terraria often crashes to your desktop slot, try to start solving the problem by reducing the quality of the graphics. It is possible that your computer simply does not have enough performance and the game cannot run correctly. It's also worth checking for updates - most modern games have a system for automatically installing new patches. Check if this option is disabled in the settings.

Black screen in Terraria

More often than not, the problem with a black screen is an issue with the GPU. Check if your video card meets the minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is a result of insufficient CPU performance.

If everything is fine with the hardware and it meets the minimum requirements, try switching to another window (ALT+TAB), and then returning to the game window.

Terraria won't install. Installation stuck

First of all, check if you have enough HDD space for installation. Remember that for the installation program to work correctly, the stated amount of space is required, plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system disk. In general, remember the rule - there should always be at least 2 gigabytes of free space on the system disk for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or may refuse to start at all.

The MaxiDisk program will help you remove temporary files that clog up your PC but are not needed for Windows and other applications. It will automatically scan your PC and offer a list of files to delete. After it works, you will most likely free up a lot of disk space that you didn’t even know you had.

Installation problems can also occur due to a lack of Internet connection or unstable operation. Also, do not forget to pause the antivirus while installing the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering them viruses.

Saves not working in Terraria

By analogy with the previous solution, check the availability of free space on the HDD - both on the one where the game is installed and on the system drive. Often save files are stored in a documents folder, which is located separately from the game itself.

Controls don't work in Terraria

Sometimes game controls do not work due to multiple input devices being connected at the same time. Try disabling the gamepad or, if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If your gamepad does not work, then remember that games are officially supported only by controllers defined as Xbox joysticks. If your controller is detected differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).

Sound does not work in Terraria

Check if the sound works in other programs. After that, check whether the sound is muted in the game settings and whether the sound playback device to which your speakers or headset is connected is selected there. Next, while the game is running, open the mixer and check if the sound there is muted.

If you are using an external one, check for new drivers on the manufacturer’s website.

If you are faced with the fact that Terraria slows down, crashes, Terraria does not start, Terraria does not install, controls do not work in Terraria, there is no sound, errors pop up, saves do not work in Terraria - we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.

First, check whether your PC's specifications meet the minimum system requirements:

• OS: Windows XP/Vista/7
• Processor: 1.6 GHz
• Memory: 512 MB
• Video: 128 MB
• HDD: 200 MB
• DirectX 9.0c

Be sure to update your video card drivers and other software

Before you remember the worst words and express them towards the developers, do not forget to go to the official website of the manufacturer of your video card and download the latest drivers. Often, drivers specially optimized for them are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing a later version of drivers if the problem is not solved by installing the current version.

It is important to remember that you should only download the final versions of video cards - try not to use beta versions, as they may have a large number of unfound and unfixed errors.

Do not forget that for stable operation of games, installation of the latest version of DirectX is often required, which can always be downloaded from the official Microsoft website.

Terraria won't start

Many problems with launching games occur due to incorrect installation. Check if there were any errors during installation, try uninstalling the game and running the installer again, after disabling the antivirus - often files necessary for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with the installed game should not contain Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.

It also doesn’t hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as Administrator in compatibility mode for different versions of Windows.
