Q: Terraria Closes Immediately (Terminated due to an Unhandled Exception)

Recently, I updated Terraria to the latest version. Suddenly, it stopped working. So soon as it starts, it terminates. I have tried reinstalling .NET and XNA, but to no avail. Could someone please help me? Here is the error I found in Event Viewer: Application: Terraria.exe Framework Version: v4...

> When an Asian giant hornet stings a human, they introduce venom so powerful, it can virtually dissolve flesh. By breaking chemical bonds and bursting cells, they unleash a torrent of cellular debris. The wreckage of destroyed blood and muscle cells enters the bloodstream, to circulate until the body’s filtering system - the kidneys - can remove the waste. Patients piss streams of black coffee and blood, the amount of foreign proteins (and possibly nephrotoxins) causing the kidneys to fail.

In slaughters directed at the popular target, the European honeybee, the attacking Asian giant hornets are rarely killed. The European honeybees are virtually defenseless; their home will be decimated, the surrounding area littered with decapitated heads and torn-off wings.

Il gatto domestico (Felis silvestris catus Schreber, 1775) è un mammifero carnivoro appartenente alla famiglia dei felidi. Si contano una cinquantina di razze differenti riconosciute con certificazioni. Essenzialmente territoriale e crepuscolare, il gatto è un predatore di piccoli animali, specialmente roditori. Per comunicare utilizza vari vocalizzi (più di 16), le fusa, le posizioni del corpo e produce dei feromoni. Può essere addestrato a obbedire a semplici comandi e può imparare da solo a manipolare semplici meccanismi come le maniglie delle porte. È il felino col più vasto areale...

@Coronus Actions cost action points, which regenerate every 10 minutes or so, and you can have a max of 10 action points stored up.

More action points cost money, which is where the F2P stuff comes in.

But the game is definitely meant to be played in short bursts.

@OrigamiRobot You embark on storylines, some of which require certain items, traits, or the right connections.

The Chinese love their cars and they have found that rubber makes more money than cocoa and at a much quicker pace. Cocoa farms are being chopped down and turned into rubber plantations because they get a better yield.

Michael Dunfield

@FEichinger What were they thinking?

;_;

FEichinger

Stop crying. That paragraph pretty much says "nothing is gonna happen".

If - as predicted - Asian consumption of chocolate rises, that means Asia will need to produce more chocolate themselves to keep the price low.

Which means they will use some of that space for cocoa just as well.

Michael Dunfield

Also they won't export as much

@FEichinger And price will naturally rise if demand goes up.

It's a balancing act on the free market.

@fbueckert Indeed. That's why they need to counteract it by producing for themselves, rather than importing with the price rising.

But if you are actually trying to provide a responsive site that uses progressive enhancement techniques, and then you have Google just deciding that you aren't competent enough to handle bad browsers.

Hmm, I guess I might of overreacted, but it still feels weird...

@RedRiderX I think the real problem here is that the "view site directly" link doesn't have an anchor for sites to use

As much as the W3C likes to deny it, backwards compatibility always trumps features.
