tModLoader never opening after command prompt closes, I can open or play the game. Please help.
For like 2 weeks whenever I open tModLoader, and the command prompt does its thing, it closes as soon as it gets to the second prompt, and never says anything past that. It shows that tmod had a cloud issue for a fraction of a second that gets instantly fixed by the time the console closes. Terraria opens entirely fine.
I managed to open tMod yesterday, by opening the snipping tool and clicking the X on the command prompt like twice, which made the command prompt stop and wait for me to press enter, and the second prompt loaded all its text finally. But, today it went back to doing the exact same thing. (this was a very random fix)
I have tried disabling mods, I have tried reinstalling, I have tried deleting the game folder and reinstalling, I have verified the integrity of the game files, I have installed the newest version of .NET, I have opened several individual start up option for tMod, I reinstalled Terraria itself, I've deleted both the files for Terraria & tMod and reinstalled them, I also tried opening tMod while Terraria was open, and none of this worked. I also attempted to really random snipping tool fix again, which also failed.
If you want to see footage of the event, I will try and record it.
Please help.

The blank console prompt is what happens right before it closes

If the information in the pinned thread does not solve your issue, please post all log files by dragging and dropping them into this chat. In Steam right click on tModLoader in the library, then hover over Manage and click on Browse local files. In the folder that appears find tModLoader-Logs and open that folder. Inside that folder are the logs files. Select them all except the Old folder and drag them into this chat. If you need a visual guide to this process watch this: https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/assets/4522492/3f4efa43-753f-4733-b630-ba85e711340c

(Steam Instructions) Follow these steps to get a fresh install of your game files:
Terraria Instructions:
1) Delete the
Terraria
folder in C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common
. If you're on a non-Windows computer or have Steam installed elsewhere, type .findinstall
in #botworld to get to the tModLoader
folder, then just go back one folder to end up in the common
folder mentioned earlier.
2) Uninstall, then reinstall Terraria in Steam.
tModLoader Instructions:
1) Delete the tModLoader
folder in C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common
. If you're on a non-Windows computer or have Steam installed elsewhere, type .findinstall
in #botworld to get to this folder.
2) Uninstall, then reinstall tModLoader in Steam.
(Note: your player and world saves are stored in a completely separate folder than the ones mentioned above. If you delete any other folders, we are not responsible for you losing any of your saves.)ambitious-aquaOP•15mo ago
