Month worth of progress loss when manually porting world data from 1.4.3 to 1.4.4.

Lost approximately a month's worth of progression in every single world after manually transferring all world files from a 1.4.3 version of tmodloader to 1.4.4. Character data and map data had no problems and were saved up to date.

If your world or player is failing to load, you can use the backups to roll back to an earlier working file. See https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/Basic-tModLoader-Usage-Guide#world-and-player-backups for more information.

Nothing to do with my issue.

you need to elaborate a bit then, when exactly did you "lose your progression", are you using cloud, are you using onedrive, what files did you manually transfer exactly? Any screenshots?

these files

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:22 PM

just to clarify they were ported from an open source client that used tmodporter, not the steam one

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:23 PM

but i dont think that should've caused any issues and switching back to 1.4.3 legacy on steam should revert these problems but thats why im asking

Putan•8/24/23, 2:24 PM

tmodporter?

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:25 PM

you dont know what tmodporter is?

I do, but what does it have to do with your worlds

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:26 PM

you told me to elaborate

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:27 PM

probably has nothing to do with it but better to be safe than sorry

Putan•8/24/23, 2:27 PM

it shouldn't have anything to do with it

Putan•8/24/23, 2:27 PM

how did you make sure you were copying the right files?

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:28 PM

right files?

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:28 PM

they were the only ones i had

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:29 PM

the data wasnt stored anywhere else i triple checked

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:30 PM

i had a GOG folder with terraria and tmod but i checked and they contained absolutely nothing related to world data

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:31 PM

and all my player stuff was up to date so im pretty sure i copied the right things

Putan•8/24/23, 2:31 PM

and that loss of progression happened the moment you pasted the files and then launched steam tml?

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:31 PM

yup

Putan•8/24/23, 2:31 PM

where did you paste them to

Putan•8/24/23, 2:31 PM

screenshot the folder with the path visible

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:31 PM

could be a version parity problem i have no idea

Ssacred-rose where did you paste them to

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:31 PM

worlds folder

Putan•8/24/23, 2:31 PM

Putan•8/24/23, 2:34 PM

yea thats the right folder

Putan•8/24/23, 2:34 PM

and all your worlds, when copying, had exactly 4 files each? (sometimes 5 with bak2)?

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:37 PM

yes i took all files, copied them to a separate folder, uninstalled open source tmod, installed steam tmod, and pasted all files from my backups back into the steam version folders

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:37 PM

currently porting everything back to 1.4.3 to see if it resolves it

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:40 PM

no unfortunately

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:41 PM

does the date the world file was modified matter

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:42 PM

because i'd expect it would be modified whenever i save and quit a world but it's a month behind

conventional-blackOP•8/24/23, 2:42 PM

unless that's not how it works

Putan•8/24/23, 2:50 PM

idk, what you did is all correct

Putan•8/24/23, 2:50 PM

do you have the logs from the first time you launched tml steam?
