In connection with the development of computer technology and the development of new software, there have been frequent cases when the drivers installed on the computer conflict with the games already on it. This causes some of them to stop starting. Today we will examine the question of why Terraria does not start and what to do about it.
On the computer
There are two versions of the game in question - computer and mobile. We will begin to understand why the "Terraria" does not start, from the first option. The usual situation that users encounter is that the game is displayed in Steam as running, but no windows open. After a few seconds, the process ends without launching the application. There are several options why Terraria does not start on a PC.
- Inconsistency with the computer system requirements.
- Lack of necessary software.
- Conflict with installed drivers and other utilities.
Based on these reasons, you need to look for a solution to the problem. But we will talk about this a little lower.
On Android
Mobile users also often have problems installing games. Why doesn’t Terraria start on Android? The reasons are similar to those that we cited in the previous part. However, it is worth adding a few points to them.
- Out of memory on the device.
- Filled with gadget cache.
- The game was not installed correctly.
These are the main reasons why the Terraria does not run on any computer hardware.
Solution of problems
Having figured out why Terraria does not start, you can begin to solve the problem. Remember all the changes made, you may have to roll back the changes. Download any software only from official sites. Otherwise, no one can guarantee the security of your computer. Let's start with the computer version.
- Go to the folder with the installed game. You should be interested in the Redist directory. It contains all the necessary additional software. Install the xnafx40.msi file from it.
- If the previous paragraph did not help or the installation process was interrupted by an error, then run the installed program manager and remove all versions of the .NET Framework from the computer. Then try the operation again.
- Try disabling the antivirus when starting and installing the game.
- Running the game in compatibility mode and on behalf of the administrator occasionally helps to solve the problem.
- Update all available drivers. Also make sure you have the latest version of MS Visual C ++ installed.
With Android, things are no better. If your game does not start, make sure you know what you are doing. Otherwise, your device can easily turn into a useless "brick".
- Free up space on the memory card.
- Clear the cache on all Google services and reinstall the game.
- Use only the licensed version downloaded in the Market. If you risk using the pirated version, follow the instructions on the resource from which the game was downloaded.
