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.

Terraria For Linux Is Making Great Progress
11 Aug 2015 at 8:11 pm UTC

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.

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.

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. :)

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]
