I have steam running, I have checked compatibility with my OS, ran as administrator, verified my files, deleted and re-acquired the tModLoader.exe file as well as redownloaded tModLoader and Terraria.

If there are any other suggestions I would be glad to take them.

  2. Error may pop up.

Additional Information

Nothing else except I was able to run the app last night though I couldn't access the Mod Browser from the app.

We've never been able to track down any reason for this issue over the years, it usually goes away with time or a restart. Sorry.

keskokavero commented 2 years ago

you don't own Terraria on your steam account. i guess it's shared from another account (i had same issue)

EldritchCrow commented 2 years ago

I have the same issue, and I own my copy of Terraria. It persisted after a restart.

there is a steam_api.dll file above the tmodloader, I deleted it and I managed to enter tmodloader

nyazexs commented 2 years ago

bro all you have to do to fix this is copy and paste the tmod files to the terraria folder and have steam launched

Chicken-Bones commented 2 years ago

tModLoader for 1.3 is no longer supported. You can try asking in the tModLoader Discord for #support, but the best thing you can do is make sure your Terraria is up to date, and do a fresh re-install of Terraria and tModLoader.

So i had TModLoader on desktop, then i moved it in the Terraria folder. The game launched, so i entered my world. Almost every item had the same texture (item unkown) so i went in the workshop and installed all my previous mods (they got deleted). Now the game runs perfectly fine.
