Gaming Why the fuck does terraria keep crashing?

[WeedZ]

I tried playing it on my o3ds a while ago. At first it ran fine, but after a while it would lock up and force close every 30 mins or so. I figured my floating castle was just too dank for the o3ds's limited ram with all the on screen objects. So I just got a n3ds the other day, fired up terraria today, and assumed all was going well. Got a skull mask which has a drop rate of something like .06%. Then the fucker locked up and forced closed, deleting my mask. Anyone know whats causing this or how I can fix it? I havent destroyed a game system out of frustration in a long time, but I'm about to relapse.

Terraria for the 3DS is rather unstable, there's not much you can do about it, I think the next update is supposed to help address these issues.

Let's not try to ensure our products are reliable or anything. Oh well, not like I paid for it. If it crashes after the next update I'm gunna be pissed though.

@WeedZ Terraria is quite a demanding game, the fact they managed to get it running well on 3DS or n3DS is actually rather technically impressive, even considering the several technical sacrifices they had to make. I don't experience too many crashes with the game in it's current state, it may be possible you got a bad world gen or something and it's causing the game to crash.

If you can figure out what was causing the crash, you could also report it to codeglue and 505 on the Terraria Community Forums in this section.

Word of advice: Save often. It may be annoying but it's worth the effort.

I did some digging around. Seems the issue has been reported alot. I've been hitting save everytime the reminder pops up. Would be cool if it had auto save like minecraft. I would just set that to every 5 mins. Still makes multiplayer impossible though, so I'm still crossing my fingers for a fix.
