We 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 [External Link]. Please report 1.3 Game Issues and Bugs HERE [External Link].
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 [External Link]

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. :)

I Use AntiMicro [External Link] when I need to bypass keybindings for Xbox 360 Mappings.

You'll need to opt into the beta on the properties tab of Terraria before downloading the game.

You might want to embolden that info - the opt in is [mac-and-linux-open-beta]

Quoting: MamboTerraria was first; but Starbound was multiplatform from the start.
Aside from the fact that Starbound is in early access and very active development, which one should I play?

I can tell you which one I recommend playing - I have 457 hours of Terraria and 27 hours of Starbound.

Additionally - Starbound has 1.9 million owners whereas Terraria has 6.3 million owners.

Starbound has 2,600 players online right now whereas Terraria has 67,000 players online.

Even though Starbound was started by the Ex-Terraria Spriter, it plays nothing like Terraria when it comes to building towers, homes, etc... Terraria is a excellent team LAN game and will continue to be in my top 10. I'm so happy! :)

Quoting: ZekThePenguinLooks like Starbound skinned for high fantasy. First, we see a bunch of Minecraft knock-offs, now people are doing the same thing in 2d? WHY?

Terraria was actually released before many sandbox games, it's been in the top sellers on the Steam Sale year after year. Just like Wine and WOW - it now has the advantage of 4 years of content since the initial release.

That's great news. I'll have to pick it up when I get some cash.

I tried playing SWTOR Online via WINE a couple months ago - StarWars games on SteamOS/Linux will really be something to get my back into the franchise after George Lucas butchered Films 1 - 3.

But hey I drank a cup of bleach and forgot most of the StarWars prequels so I think I'm ready to go, the books and games have always been much more fun.

I kindof always saw GamingOnLinux as the next evolutionary transcendence of LinuxGames and Linux Game Tome.

Those sites earned their place in history.

They should pass the Torch as that is the GPL way - but sadly interior politics will likely prevail and some domain snatcher will pick it up and want $10,000 for it later.
