Terraria Console Update Results in Bugged Saves

Following the recent release of the 1.2 update for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and Xbox 360 versions of Terraria, many players have been reporting problems with their existing game worlds following the patch’s application.

Publishers 505 Games have acknowledged the issues on the Terraria Online official forums and have announced that they are currently working on a patch to resolve issues.

We apologize for any issues that may have arisen from this weeks console update. Rest assured, it is an absolute priority for both Engine and 505 Games to push out a new patch to correct this as soon as we possibly can.

The patch for these issues is in the works and we hope to have a release date ASAP. However, we are doing our best to not rush it out in an effort to give us an opportunity to address as many issues as possible without causing further issues.

Despite efforts being made to solve the problems caused by the update, 505 Games have stated that they are unsure as to whether corrupted save files can be restored.

My understanding is that if the world has not been loaded since the update, there should be no issue once we issue a new patch. However, if the world has been opened and it autosaved, or manually been saved, it will have overwritten the good save with bad data. I am not sure if this can be corrected at this moment, I hope to have some more details soon as the patch progresses.

If any players are experiencing problems following the 1.2 update 505 has encouraged them to contact the publishers at www.505games.com/contact
