Might be 1 of 2 things....

1. Reinstall (or install) XNA from the game's directory
2. Do you have a non-standard My Docs location?

Many thanks for your reply.

I've tried reinstalling the game (4 times), verifying the cache, reinstalling .NET4 then XNA, setting differing compatibility modes for the .exe, and updating my video drivers to the latest version (Nvidia) - all to no avail.

Had the same problem. After trying lots of things, i finally read the following solution somewhere, and it works. It looks like a bit of a hassle, but it comes down to just renaming a few dll's that wont update, and copying in the dll's that are updated. Apparently, if your windows isnt updated to the latest version, then installing framework 4 wont update a few dll's. So this fixes that:

================================================== ==
0. Make sure you have installed the framework 4.0

1. Check out the version of mscoree.dll in c:\windows\system32. If it's 2.0.50727.4927, then continue (i had a sligtly different version than the number mentioned here, doesnt really matter)

2. Fiddle with permissions of this dll (Properties>>Security>>Advanced>>Change permissions>>Add>>$$Your user name$$>>OK>>OK>>OK (i skipped this step, wasnt really necessary)
3. Rename it to mscoree.dll.old

(If you have a 64bit version of windows then do the same in 1-3 ALSO with c:\windows\syswow64\mscoree.dll)

4. Open the file dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe (download here -> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e...f-b21f31ab88b7 ) with any extractor and extract it to any folder. You can open it with winzip or winrar.

5. Open the folder

6. Find the file netfx_Core.mzz and rename it with netfx_Core.zip and open with extractor

7. Extract the file _003_mscoree_dll_x86 (and if you have a 64bit windows, ALSO the _003_mscoree_dll_amd64)

8a. If u have a 64 bit version of windows: Rename _003_mscoree_dll_amd64 to mscoree.dll and copy it to c:\windows\system32

8b. If u have x86 version: Rename _003_mscoree_dll_x86 to mscoree.dll and copy it to c:\windows\system32

9a. If u have a 64bit of windows: Rename _003_mscoree_dll_x86 to mscoree.dll and copy it to c:\windows\syswow64

10. No restart needed. Just install the x64 prereqs and next visual studio as it was ment to be.

11. Profit
================================================== ========

So if u have a 64bit version of windows, do step 8a and 9a. If u dont, do step 8b. It works for vista and windows 7, wouldnt surprise me if it works for XP as well. I was hesitant to mess with dll's in my windows folder, but eventually i took the risk, just wanted to play terraria. And its great. However, i also read somewhere that in the future when you want to update your windows again, or when new versions of framework need to be installed, it MAY cause a problem. But ive long given up trying to update my stupid vista, and framework wasnt installing properly anyway, so who cares. Im playing and i get no errors whatsoever.

Firstly - wow thank you so much for taking the time to reply with all this :-o I very much appreciate it.

Sadly it didn't work =(

Weirdly, for starters, the 'dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe' file in Terraria's Steam directory didn't contain a file named 'netfx_Core.mzz' for some weird reason. I even deleted it and validated with Steam so it re-downloaded, but still nothing.
So i downloaded the file from Microsoft and there it was.

I then renamed the old .dll, and copied over the new one from my fresh MS download, restarted even, and Terraria's still giving the same error.

Really scratching my head now.. :S

What windows do you have, 32 or 64bit? If 64, you need to do the trick with 2 dll's in 2 different folders.

And did you go thru all the steps?

Oh and youre right, the dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe file in the terraria folder isnt the full installation file, its one that downloads the full installation file. So ill edit the steps a bit.

Hey, I had the same problem a while back for a full week, but managed to get it working by doing allll that, plus going to All Programs, then Windows Updates, and doing every possible update I possibly could, AFTER renaming the one file to old and copying an up-to-date one from my fiance's laptop. It took a good half hour to an hour to do all the updates, but I have no .NET issues at all anymore.
Dungeons was another game with the same issue, if that helps anyone, also.

[sambonz]

Thank you both again for your replies.
(I run Vista 32bit btw)

Sadly it's still not working. Bizarrely, now the error msg doesn't show up - so that's 'progress'? hehe
I run the game and it thinks for a bit, then just vanishes without popping an error.

I'll keep plugging away - I mean i have over 100 Steam games and they all work just fine. :S

[guilliamx]

I run XP 32 and I get the same issues, none of the solutions seem to work. Very very annoying for a game I payed for today

[Zombinejerry]

They might fix it soon but untill then just make a new guy and a new map that still works everyones files might be corrupt Or something but you guys will have to wait till they fix your older maps and chars just make new ones and wait

Mine drops at startup too. Wish I knew before I bought it that it required framework 4. So does Bit.runner and I already fought with this same problem before to no avail. Framework 4 is a major headache. Oh well 2 duds out of 96 games ain't too bad.

Same problem here..just bought it and it doesnt run...damn..wasted 5 bucks..also have the same problem with Dungeons and Bit trip runner

[spazbomb]

Ok, so after 4 aggrivating days I've fixed my problem. I'm running Windows 7 64bit and the TRUE issue was my 'Windows Update' was broken. It hasn't been updating for a long time and trying to launch it freezes my pc.

I learned you can't play Terraria without Framework 4 .Net, and Framework 4 won't work unless you have Windows 7 Service pack 1 (at least). Otherwise it just takes a dump in your DLL files and fails.

If your windows update is broken like mine I used this guide to stop it, delete the corruption, and repair: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...9-ba914c78983b
Killing windows update was tricky, I had to switch it to manual and kill it after reboot. And I recommend running the .bat file with both programs Stopped. After that with Update running I could update my W7, took about 12 hours to run through 10 updates one at a time, including the service pack and framework. But now Terraria works and so do the Bit.runner games.

PS: I've also learned Framework 4 can fail install if you've got thumbdrives or ghostdrives on your pc. And be sure to have a couple gigs of free space for all the updates or they will fail as well.
