I was hoping PA would be more like StarCraft 1 Brood War. Unfortunately it was not and the camera was hanky - you would spin it and it would stick in a unnatural way.

After seeing so many PA updates on GOL I hope they improve because I would like to try again someday.

RTC 2 was fantastic - if this is like that money will surely fly out my wallet and fun will be at hand!

Fantastic to see Terraria make such swift progress on their Linux version.

To mess around with items try the online Terraria Inventory / Character editor here:

I'm particularly waiting for TEdit to catchup with the 1.3.x update so I can terraform our Linux World as we like to build Giant Metroid Statues, and Dungeons in the Sky and in hell

Great to know that a binary version exists DRM free favoring the user/players.

Of course anyone interested in the fast measure of content in Terraria can checkout the thousands of items and blocks at the wiki and learn how to craft them.

Quoting: vultureflash required? guess i'll wait for recording, there is no way in hell i'm installing that crap

Simply watch on Chrome/Chromium instead as they have a custom flash called Pepper thats part of their browser?

Works for me. Netflix, Flash, etc...

Installing Flash into my package manager - ew.

My friends and me are already playing Terraria on 5 Linux PCs since the launch of the Linux Beta.

Saves have been moved to ~/.local/share/Terraria.

I think I played something like 6 sessions this week and it truely is a fantastic game, Terraria is in a class of its own in terms of building, exploring, and collecting all sorts of items.

Thanks guys, now I have no idea where Terraria is saving to as ~/My Games is nowhere to be found upon reinstalling Terraria Beta.

I can't edit my characters or worlds in the cloud or out the cloud - I seriously have not the slightest hint as to where my saves are now hidden away to :(

I accidently bought the non-linux version a while ago and every time it goes on sale I'm broke.

I would have loved to have started playing this by now.

QuoteWe are working very hard to address all issues with the 1.3 Updates. Please keep reporting any issues that you find. Please report 1.3 Technical Problems (crashes, installation problems) HERE. Please report 1.3 Game Issues and Bugs HERE.
An Open Beta for Mac/Linux has been released on Steam; for more details and bug reporting, please join the Mac/Linux Beta Test Social Group

I would say in the case of the XDG issue - go and report it as a bug - the squeeky wheel gets the oil.

Great! This will be a fun play.

I can confirm that the FPS seem to be capped as we get 60 FPS on both a GTX 970 and a GTX 750 Ti SC.

We've built dungenous and giant Metroid Statues among many other awesome things of variety in our various Terraria Maps. Maybe I can share some screenshots when I copy that world file over.

I think the data wasn't meant to go into ~/My Games/ - and that is infact simply a undesired mistake in the code.

The game seems to crash for clients when I host a server when they enter certain parts of the world probably due to problematic objects that have minor bugs.

Terraria is addictive, especially with friends - you have been warned. :)
