Issue with tModLoader Startup

Photos will he included. I havent found any fixes for this specifically and am unsure of what to do now.

A "LaunchUtils/busybox64.exe" command prompt box appears saying

"You are on platform: "Windows_NT" arch: "x86_6x"
rm: remove 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/tModLoader/tModLoader-Logs/Launch.log'?

I have searched hundreds of forums trying ti find a fix including things not related to terraria at all, but nothing has worked. This is hour 8. I should also preface, I do not have a dotnet folder in my launch utils area at all. I have seen folks using that to fix issues but I just DONT have one at all.

Any advice or know-how would be wonderful! Thanks folks!

To preface, I don't really know how to read or understand any issues these logs may show, but I am out of ideas.

The client.log you sent shows launching the game, is your issue different now? The dotnet folder is not in the launchutils folder, it's the folder above that

jopojelly•6/13/25, 5:40 AM

I would suggest deleteing the logs folder, since you might have some old logs still, then look for the dotnet folder, delete that if you find it, then try again, send new logs after trying that once.

What folder would the dotnet folder be in? I cannot find it for the life of me. The "Empty Steam depot" folder is, well, empty. The only folder I can find labeled anything close to "dotnet" is dotnetzip in the libraries folder (photo included), but that has no real effect on anything as far as I am aware.

I just deleted the dotnetzip folder and the logs folder, the screen stopped showing the original message, but then it showed up with the same black background white text with a bunch of new stuff, the screen went away, and nothing happened.

This is the photo showing exactly what I see when I hit play.

Ok, you weren't supposed to delete the dotnetzip thing

jopojelly•6/14/25, 7:04 AM

verify game integrity to get it back

jopojelly•6/14/25, 7:05 AM

(in steam properties)

jopojelly•6/14/25, 7:05 AM

The dotnet folder I was talking about is located at C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/tModLoader/dotnetC:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/tModLoader/dotnet

jopojelly•6/14/25, 7:05 AM

it should be there, your launch.log says it's successfully launching the game using it

rubber-blueOP•6/14/25, 7:13 AM

Alright I am validating/verifying the files, the first photo sent shows that there was no dotnet folder, now there is one. Should I delete that folder now that it is actually there?

rubber-blueOP•6/14/25, 7:15 AM

NEVERMIND!! - I didnt do anything, no deleting but the file is there this time and the game JUST booted up for some odd reason
