tmodloader 1.3 won't start

This is a pretty common thing as far as I've seen, but I've tried everything I could find, I've downloaded new and old versions of dotnet, I've deleted and reinstalled my entire tmod file, and ive messed around with my audio settings, nothing is working. heres my logs

I did recently get a new pc on windows 11 could that affect it?

jopojelly•5/20/25, 8:55 PM

None of these logs relate to 1.3

jopojelly•5/20/25, 8:56 PM

I think 1.3 logs are in the saves folder, not the install folder

hm, the logs just end with no hint about why they are failing. Not sure what is up with that. Since 1.3 is old it might be hard to diagnose anyway.

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 5:29 AM

So what can I do to fix it? is it because Im on windows 11?

jopojelly•5/21/25, 5:36 AM

I dunno, like I said it's old and common issues from way back then are not remembered very well anymore. I imagine it should be fine on windows 11, so I don't know what the issue is. Luckily most mods are on regular tmod so most people don't find it necessary to use 1.3

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 5:44 AM

the main mod I'm trying to play is elements unleashed, or whichever mod is the one with the blushiemagic fight

Ddead-brown I dunno, like I said it's old and common issues from way back then are not remem...

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 5:45 AM

would it help if I disabled all my mods on 1.4?

jopojelly•5/21/25, 5:46 AM

No, that is unrelated

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 5:49 AM

Is there a way to disable my mods in 1.3 without opening the game?

jopojelly•5/21/25, 5:50 AM

They are in My Games\Terraria\ModLoader\Mods

jopojelly•5/21/25, 5:50 AM

There is an enabled.json file that says which mods are enabled

jopojelly•5/21/25, 5:51 AM

If you want to be absolutely sure a mod isn't messing things up, you can just rename that folder from Mods to ModsBackup

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 5:51 AM

Alright

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 5:52 AM

If it’s not the mods then what could it be?

jopojelly•5/21/25, 5:53 AM

I don't really know, your logs didn't mention anything I recognize

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 5:54 AM

I’m hoping it is then cause that’s all I can think of other than my game is just broke

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 5:59 AM

I’ll see if it works

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 6:25 AM

I changed it to mods backup and it still wont even open

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 6:49 AM

now what can I do

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 6:51 AM

would it help to uninstall and reinstall the game

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 7:27 AM

is there any chance its because my icloud is low on storage

jopojelly•5/21/25, 5:47 PM

icloud? This is windows right?

jopojelly•5/21/25, 5:49 PM

if you mean onedrive...it could be possible, but I'm not positive.

Ddead-brown if you mean onedrive...it could be possible, but I'm not positive.

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 5:57 PM

I believe so

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 5:57 PM

yea one drive

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 8:36 PM

how could I fix it?

jopojelly•5/21/25, 8:47 PM

onedrive? I don't know, I don't think you should move your documents or anything. I don't think it's onedrive personally, so I don't want to suggest you do anything

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 9:02 PM

so am I just cooked

jopojelly•5/21/25, 9:20 PM

Can you try opening a command prompt in the install folder and then running tModLoader.exetModLoader.exe? There might be more clues if I see that output

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 9:39 PM

How do I open a command prompt

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 9:39 PM

Or do any of that

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 9:39 PM

I’m not good with files

jopojelly•5/21/25, 9:55 PM

One way is to navigate to the install folder, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\tModLoader, then click the address bar and type cmdcmd and press enter, that'll open the command prompt

jopojelly•5/21/25, 9:56 PM

Then you can type tModLoader.exetModLoader.exe there and press enter, see what happens

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 10:02 PM

Alright I’ll try that asap

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 10:02 PM

Ddead-brown One way is to navigate to the install folder, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam...

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 10:04 PM

The address bar is where everything is right like the C:\program files etc

jopojelly•5/21/25, 10:09 PM

yes

efficient-indigoOP•5/21/25, 10:13 PM

Ddead-brown Then you can type `tModLoader.exe` there and press enter, see what happens

efficient-indigoOP•5/22/25, 12:50 AM

nothing happened

efficient-indigoOP•5/22/25, 12:55 AM

my mod folder has 73 files and some mods are from 1.4

efficient-indigoOP•5/22/25, 12:55 AM

could that be a problem?

efficient-indigoOP•5/22/25, 12:56 AM

I already tried renaming the folder so I don't know

jopojelly•5/22/25, 12:57 AM

Nope, if you renamed the folder it has nothing to do with anything

jopojelly•5/22/25, 12:58 AM

You can try installing the https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/Basic-tModLoader-Usage-FAQ#systemdllnotfoundexception-unable-to-load-dll-vcruntime140dll-or-one-of-its-dependencies-the-specified-module-could-not-be-found-0x8007007e Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, that has helped people in the past with weird issues

efficient-indigoOP•5/22/25, 1:10 AM

apparently I have a newer version installed already

efficient-indigoOP•5/22/25, 1:11 AM

ok Im trying 64 now
