If it has extra periods, remove them and keep the extension. If you don't see the extension, then just remove all the extra periods at the end of it. |

If it ain't there or in your My Documents location, download any file recovery software (I have had luck with Recuva) and point it to the Steam cloud temporary location. With luck, it's recoverable. (This can happen when no valid files are present in the Documents location, so go to cloud, local, then cloud.) If you have more than one set of files, go for the most recent set (the one with more periods or the last modified date is the latest) and remember that each is saved per world your character has visited. |

Ports
| Protocol | Port(s) and/or port range(s) |

- Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support status is unknown.
Issues unresolved
German version
- The German (Steam) version of Terraria currently has lots of bugs and crashes (for example, social slot items); the only fix is to set the language to English.[citation needed]
Issues fixed
Game running slowly/low frame rate
| Change Frame Skip and Lighting Settings[citation needed] |
|---|
|
This usually happens when the game is running on an older PC. In Settings, make sure Frame Skip is set to "On" and Lighting is set to "Retro". This should increase performance. |
| OS X and Linux versions, update FNA to newer version[citation needed] |
|---|
|
The OS X and Linux versions of the game use older versions of FNA. Updating to a newer version makes the game faster.[4] Copy and run a script to update FNA. |
Game will not start
| You may be missing required components[citation needed] |
|---|
|
Download and install the following: This should fix the problem. |
Steam Overlay doesn't work
Use the -gameoverlayinject command line argument
|
|---|
XNA/.NET Installation Issues
- Make sure to install .NET 4 before installing XNA 4. If that does not solve the issue, try uninstalling both of these and installing a clean copy of both.
| Download them from their official websites[citation needed] |
|---|
|
If you're having issues downloading either XNA or .NET try to install the files manually via their websites: |
Teleporting mob lag in multiplayer
| Limit FPS to 30[5] |
|---|
|
Graphics Cards Issues
| Make sure you have the most recent updates to your system[citation needed] |
|---|
|
Check to make sure you have the most recent updates to your graphics card. You can do this through Steam (in Windows) by pressing (in the top right corner) 'Steam' > 'Check for Video Driver Updates...'. Notes
|
Control Configuration Issues (non-Steam)
- Some users are reporting that they have blanked all their controls and are unable to set them again.
| Delete config.dat[citation needed] |
|---|
|
Hosting Issues
| Firewall/Network Access[citation needed] |
|---|
|
Make sure your Firewall is off or that it allows Terraria Network Access. View this forum thread to get information on giving Terraria Network Access. |
| Port forwarding[citation needed] |
|---|
|
Look up port forwarding if you are trying to host behind a router. |
| Use Hamachi[citation needed] |
|---|
|
