[2020] Terraria Switch Launch Megathread

Yep, same thing has happened on two of my sons medium worlds. Tried deleting the game and reinstalling which didnt work and tried docking it while loading up the world and nothing.

Let me offer another data point. My son’s small world will no longer load. After selecting the world, the “loading world data” progress bar cycles to 100% and then . . . nothing. The Terraria logo continues to bounces along, and the background animation continues to cycle, but nothing else occurs.

Just had a really weird crash, I loaded up the game, placed a solidifier, crafted a Slime Lantern, saved and exited,then the game crashed. When I went back, the solidifier and lantern were gone form both the world and my inventory.

When the game is working it's great, however i have run into the problem where on my main world (large, expert, end of pre-hardmode) will never load up, it'll hit loading world resources and after it hits 100% everything besides the terraria logo and background disappear and nothing happens (I've let it sit for over an hour)

Forgive me for the formatting of this post since I am in mobile. Dunno where to report but I have been having some problems: some items aren't displayed when asking for what crafting recipes uses an item. So far I find lightning boots only displaying specter boots and not showing the aglet and the other requirement. Auto save freezes the game (thankfully so far doesn't crash it!). Holding ZL to buy/craft multiple on the menus will stop the music and will only play the sound effect. I don't know if luck/bad luck but world generation is being weird because of huge missing lands. I know chasms are common in corruptions but this seems to be too much lost land. Cannot find a single of any of the double jump bottles.

The price is kind of high but I don't mind supporting the Devs efforts to bring the game to switch and the free updates over the years.

It does crash a lot though, my large world crashes and I can't load into the first medium world I created because it always gets stuck at 72% on settling liquids. Names popping up each time you see an enemy/animal up close is very annoying as well. Maybe give an option to disable names once you've encountered something once and tapped on the creature?

I love the use of touch controls and otherwise its fantastic but these issues really need sorting.

The port's fine, except for a few frame rate issues here and there which also affected the PS Vita version.

Also it crashes a bunch specifically on the title screen, which is very mildly annoying.

Yikes. Started playing a large world in handheld, solo, walked to a giant tree and the game completely froze. Frame rate wasn't great either. Large world's seem to be too much with this port at the moment. Pretty disappointing.

thats what caused it? i wanted my enchanted sword that carried me through pre-hardmode to be on display, didnt think it would be the reason i cant load the world
