Troubleshooting

Check the Log File​

TEdit writes error logs to:

%AppData%\TEdit\Logs

Open this path in Explorer to find log.txt. You can also access it from the menu: Help > View Log.

tip

If log.txt is large, upload it to a paste site (like pastebin) when asking for help.

TEdit won't start​

  • Make sure .NET 10 Desktop Runtime is installed: Download
  • Check that your GPU supports DirectX 11
  • Update your graphics drivers to the latest stable version
  • Try running TEdit as administrator
  • Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and check if TEdit.exe appears in the process list

No sprite textures / blank tiles​

Terraria must be installed for sprite rendering. If it's installed but textures are missing:

  1. Open Settings and check the Terraria Path setting
  2. Make sure it points to Terraria\Content (the folder with Images/)
  3. Steam default: Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Terraria\Content

World won't open​

  • Make sure it's an unmodded .wld file — TEdit doesn't support tModLoader or TConfig worlds
  • Try opening a different world to confirm TEdit works
  • Check if the file is corrupted — see Corrupted World Recovery

Crashes or freezing​

  • Very large worlds may take time to load — be patient
  • Check the log file at %AppData%\TEdit\Logs\log.txt for error details
  • Try closing other memory-intensive applications
  • Update to the latest TEdit version

Performance is slow​

  • Zoom out — rendering many textures up close is GPU-intensive
  • Adjust Texture Visibility Zoom Level in Settings to reduce texture rendering at close zoom
  • Reduce Sprite Thumbnail Size in Settings
  • Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date

Reset TEdit​

If nothing else works, try clearing TEdit's cached data:

  1. Delete the cache folder: %AppData%\TEdit
  2. Delete the settings folder: %LocalAppData%\TEdit
  3. Reinstall TEdit from a fresh download
