My tml keeps crashing when I boot it

[ben]

Everytime I start the tml (tmodloader) it gets past the Re-Logic screen and then crashes with this error being the only thing it tells me. I have tried so many different things and I am ready to admit defeat. Could anyone help me out here?

[18:56:12.736] [Main Thread/FATAL] [tML]: Main engine crash

Tip: This is likely a mod's fault. Disable mods one by one and check if the issue persists

I have also tried checking the mods. I've even deleted them and unsubscribed. I am somewhat sure it can't be that.

[Gerry]

same problem, nothing works, terraria uninstalled, tml uninstalled, ALL game files deleted, pc restart, verify the files.

[Acid]

Same here, please if you find a fix let me know. its the same fatal error as you.

[DV]

have the same problem. tried all thungs above too

after trying earasing "terraria" folder from "Documents" folder i gain acces to creating player screen, but exporting or creating new player causes the same issue

[delish fish]

the same thing happened to me while opening tmodloader again after closing it a few minutes before

[Casual]

does it let the game load before it shows you the error?

[wootzy]

i deleted the "content" folder in tmodloader install folder, did a file check, it redownloaded the folder and now the game works again for me

[Criminauer]

Same here, there isnt any fixing method right now?

i have the same issue

[Bisent]

u know how to fix it ?

[Acid]

Someone found a Fix that worked. If you are running the steam client beta it will corrupt some files. If you go back to the old steam client it should fix TModLoader. it worked for me at least.

I would have never guessed that would work. Thank you:)
