Unknown World

[Eudoxical]

I tried loading my world today and the game quit on me and now when I start up the game my world says 'unknown world' instead of expert and crashes the game when I try to load it.

What happened to my world? :(

[Archvile]

Its corrupt it happend to me....

[Eudoxical]

Is there any way to save it? :( I've been playing on it since July

Do you have a bak. file?

[Archvile]

It should be in documents, My games, terraria

From what I've experienced if you create a world via tEdit and the like it will come up as unknown.

It doesn't look like I do :( Just the .wld file

I haven't used any world editors, I didn't know they existed.

1. Go to your My Documents/My Games/Terraria folder, and enter the Players or Worlds folder depending on which one is corrupt.

2. Make a backup of the entire folder just in case.

3. Delete the corrupt .plr or .wld file. DO NOT delete the accompanying .plr.bak or .wld.bak file; you will need this. Be aware that your OS may omit some file extensions, depending on how you have it set. The file type of the file you delete should be "PLR File" or "Terraria World File".

4. Copy the .plr.bak or .wld.bak file with the same filename somewhere else, then remove the .bak extension. Again, be aware that it may not be shown, in which case you might have to go into your control panel to change that. It should now be a .plr or .wld file identical to the one you deleted.

5. Move the new .plr or .wld file back to your Players or Worlds folder.

6. Run the game. You should now be able to access your character or world. It might be an older version, but it's better than starting from scratch.
