Terraria old version

[Bucket]

I think my Terraria is stuck on an older version, im currently using version 1.3.5.2
If its the case, how can I update to the latest version?

I had this issue once, and it just resolved itself.
I'll look around and see if I can find anything.

Have you tried going to the local files of Terraria, and deleting the game folder,
then re-installing? That could potentially fix it.
Also try restarting Steam, and your PC (could be a problem with cache files that steam needs to access).

I have moded terraria so, maybe its the case? Thanks for your answer

So , i deleted everything, and it still says im on 1.3.5.2 , i think its the tmodloader that is stuck to 1.3.5.2, i tried to install it again, and im still on that version.

[Rocky]

Ohh, I forgot about Tmodloader.
Hmm actually, I don't believe Tmodloader has been released for 1.3.5.3,
So in order to use 1.3.5.3 you'll have to remove the mods.
I remember doing this back when I had the same problem,
Mods: I run with Tmodloader, on 1.3.5.2
No Mods: I run on 1.3.5.3.

I see, thanks, but why does some youtubers can play modded and have a newer version?
Like, chippy playing and have the water effect, i dont, or new background, is it from 1.3.5.3?

I'll check when I get home, but likely there's an updated version of Tmodloader now.
(It's been a long time since I've played.)

The big reason for them not updating the mod loader is it would break support
for many mods, (the majority of them). But, you can try installing this from below.
The first thing I would do, is download the latest version of tModloader. (Link below)

I'm actually quite surprised I'm the only one on here XD

Yeah, thanks for your time :) . For the Tmodloader, i dowloaded it from this site. I guess im stuck with 1.3.5.2. Sad , maybe someday they'll update it, when the newer version of Terraria will be released

You're welcome.
Hopefully someday they'll update it, hopefully XD.

Completely off-topic, but I'd like to recommend a mod if you haven't tried it.
Terraria: Overhaul. That is by far my favourite mod.
You've probably tried it, but if not it's worth a shot.

Best of luck,

Rocky.

If u want to revert to vanilla Terraria and the newest version just go into the folder you have Terraria installed and rename it to something else e.g. "_Terraria" then launch then game and it should make a new Terraria file which is the original game, whenever you want to swap back just rename your vanila Terraria to something else e.g "__Terraria" and rename your modded Terraria to just Terraria

This is the same method I used about a year ago.
Honestly, would have thought they'd have made a new version of tModloader by now XD.

Yeah, I tried Overhaul, but it was making my game to crash, and my cpu to lag, i had to remove it, but i did a whole playtrhough of it tho

TL:DR

If you have any mods installed and you try to reinstall - which was I imagine one of the things you tried to do to fix this issue - your game will not reinstall properly. I do think you may be able to fix this if you reinstall Terraria but you will want to uninstall or delete any mod files in order to do so. Terraria might not even be able to update properly when you have mods installed because in order to use a mod you need to replace the executable.

In any case, I recommend uninstalling Terraria and then going into Windows Explorer and deleting the entire Terraris folder within your Steam folder. Then try reinstalling Terraria from Steam. See if that works.

EDIT: This shouldn't affect the Terraria files you have in your Documents folder but just in case you can make copies of your Players and Worlds folders, then paste them elsewhere, and you should be good.
