Yeah, I tried deleting config.dat, then I deleted the Characters and Worlds folders, and it's still not. I guess I'll just have to wait.

[Shadowlord]

Wait no now the fix listed in the website (deleting config.dat) I linked turned out not to have worked. So... the question still stands.

Spoiler: ??? (click to show/hide)

what does it all MEAN?

So what kind of video card do you have? And what resolution are you trying to run Terraria on?

[Flying Dice]

I'm not having any issues with the lighting; playing on colored with an Intel intergrated graphics chip on my laptop with the same FPS as before.

Though I'd have a lot more fun if my game would let me connect to Kael's server D:

Mine is working, though its quieted down quite a bit from earlier.

I'd love to, if I knew the url or could find the thread that mentions it.

I'm pressing F7, but all that does is bring up some technical-looking data about how the game is running. Isn't that supposed to switch color modes?

[Rhodan]

Nope, it's F9, according to the patch notes.

[Sirus]

Nope, it's F9, according to the patch notes.

Terraria now has smooth, colored lighting! You can toggle between the four lighting modes: Color, White, Retro, and Trippy in the Options Menu or by pressing F7.

That's what I'm reading. I guess they typoed.

[nenjin]

Any idea what the second patch was for?

[Shadowlord]

The thing is, the new lighting engine runs 4 lighting points per block instead of 1. It's smoother, but it'll fuck up your FPS if you're not running a next-gen computer.

Maybe if you're from th future you'll be able to run Color lighting.

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite game in the Citadel, which is to say, I must be from the future because I can run Color lighting.

(I have color lighting on, have it running at 1980x1020, quality is on high, vsync is forced on with the NVidia control panel, and frameskip is disabled (which bumped my framerate up from ~40 to 60 on Auto quality before I switched it to high and it stayed there - on a world just after creation. We'll see if I have to change the quality back to auto later or not, but so far it's running perfectly. I have an EVGA GTX 460 1 GB EE, and my CPU is an i5-750.)

[SirAaronIII]

So what kind of video card do you have? And what resolution are you trying to run Terraria on?

Before I deleted config.dat, I was on 800x600, but after that it went back to default settings, so 640x480 I think. The lowest.
My graphics card is an Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated, so it's not very good. It was able to run Terraria before 1.1, though.

To Flying Dice:

96.228.44.6, default 7777 port.

Someone should probably keep track of this. Or remember it. Or something.

I just tried to connect to that and no go.  Going to play SP a bit to get my bearings, until it comes back up or Kael's server is updated.

[Shadowlord]

I think 800x600 is the default, it's what it started me at. You may want to complain if Terraria suddenly won't start, when it would before. In the meantime... I just saved a config with low graphics quality and retro color, and 800x600 fullscreen resolution (that's as low as it would let me go), and the default controls. Maybe it will work if you replace your config.dat with it, if Terraria is defaulting to Color and Auto and dying because of that, if it's trying a texture resolution which is too big for your integrated GPU (and it doesn't appear to be handling the failure gracefully). http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26452959/terraria%20config%20low%20quality%20retro%20color.zip

Good luck.

[Repulsion]

Dear god, this is frustrating. So I have Terraria on my other account, but whenever I attempt to log into the account, I get a "Computer Authorization Required" window... which sends me an email that IS COMPLETELY INVISIBLE. Unless it is sending it to some random email account that I have no idea about, which is a possibility that leaves me at the end of an alley, something is wrong.

Grrahhsh i just want to play terraria.

[umiman]

Just fought the new boss...

Ow...

Thanks, I'll try that. Aaaaaaaand........
It works! Thanks for helping me out.

[Sirus]

I can run color, at least a little, and I'm on a laptop with an integrated Intel graphics card. Sure, it's only a month old, but it's hardly a supercomputer. I can't even run Magicka.
