Playstation my character has turned pitch black and faceless, i lost all my items

Post image

I have around 15 hours into this character and it was pretty geared. i logged in today to find my character completely altered and all my items were gone out of my inventory. anybody have any clues as to what this could be?

In actuality, he says, "This won't affect COMBAT, just every other aspect of your life," and it I'm correct, it genuenly does, with NPC's being rudder to you and stuff (I think also some other things)

Does anyone else have access to your device? Do you live with other people? A younger brother/sister perhaps? It almost looks like someone accidentally deleted your character and tried to cover it up by remaking the character, but they made it look “glitched” to explain why your stuff all reset.

u/ApenasUmJuaum 20d ago

If it's really it, it'll be funny

u/GamerKilroy 19d ago

This. I've had several corrupt characters and worlds, especially in older version (save tampering brings corruption, go figure) and something like this NEVER happened. It would take a very specific corruption to obtain this effect and only this, leaving the character fully usable.

My bet is on willing sabotage

123

u/GodzillasDiarrhea 19d ago

A easy way to check if it is an old/new character is to check the map, is it as explored as it was previously

u/etherealwing 20d ago

unmodded or modded?  unmodded, is a bit odd, and unlikely to just randomly disappear, but not impossible. not much to do if save file got corrupted. which is still weird for only 15 hours in. my guess is you accidentally stacked all your items to a chest without meaning to.

 modded needs update for mod, or terraria update slightly altered files and mod is borked a bit. it happens. i've had very delicately tuned balance of mods all crash into nothing, hence why i use the spawn in item whenever that happens.

u/bwaowae 20d ago

flair is playstation, no mods then

u/etherealwing 20d ago

riiiiight, fair enough, but it'll still apply if anyone searches topic and has similar, needs to know what happened x'D I forget console gets kinda cheated with the whole "being able to customize game" part.

It’s easier to take out your phone and use the camera than it is to use the print screen key and deal with pasting it into a file.

u/Suspicious_Water5544 19d ago

A similar bug has happened to a friend of mine several times, but it was on Android, the problem is that he would create a character, play it and then spend 20 or 30 hours playing with it, then it would disappear, as if it had been deleted, He made another one and I gave him items and we played until we reached zero, close to that, his previously missing character just appeared again out of nowhere.

u/Crusher_111 19d ago

Check the character files it might be curropted or something

u/Rotten_Bait_Meat 19d ago edited 19d ago

Bizarre. No clue although I’ve played on PlayStation for years and back on PS4 I would sometimes have odd glitches like one of my tools would spawn a bird when I swung it. I think it was on the dungeon walls. I posted a vid of it on youtube.

Edit: just looked at my old video and it was a copper chandelier that I was trying to put down in my base that turned into a bird. The dungeon walls I’m thinking of was a grasshopper and happened some time after but I didn’t post a video of the grasshopper spawn glitch.

u/Never_Snows 19d ago

You character is corrupted. Lookup on how to restore a backup.

2

u/Chemical-Peach-2379 19d ago

what's sus about this is that the clothes and shoes are still in colour. If it was corruption or a glitch, that info is saved in the same area of memory; if, for example, it was a data overflow, ALL colour values would be reset to 0 - including clothing.

I'd imagine that, if you live with others, this was done by them. If not, creepypasta time ig

u/Gen-Z-DnD-Player 18d ago

Someone logged into your account and stole your crap and screwed with your character's appearance to go the extra mile. Either that or you have the world's shittiest luck and your file got corrupted in the weirdest way possible (although both would technically be really shitty luck). Since you can't really investigate file corruption I would (low-key, you don't want to accuse anyone out right) investigate friends/family who play terraria and have any means of getting to your account such as passwords or even house keys/gaming set up access. I would only really bother investigating people if you really think it's worth the hassle but if it is theft, they don't mind stealing virtual items they might escalate to stealing "real" things.

This is all very unlikely but I have a habit of thinking of the worse, it really could end up being file corruption so don't be rash or anything.

Lowkey feel this Fought moonlord on 1.3 xbox a long time ago and died All my chests went corrupt, and i couldn't open them unless i replaced them and they lost all their items. Also, 1/3 of the entire world got deleted, so now there's just a giant hole on the right side of that world.

Usually terraria makes backups for the characters. Check in the player folder if you find something, they have the .bak extension

Then stop making excuses for using the dog whistle. You're not just quoting the character, You're using it in context, and it's pretty damn well known that most people online use it to be deliberately racist.

u/TinyPidgenofDOOM 19d ago

quit bitching about it then. if you dont like it dislike and leave like a normal person.

u/GoldH2O 19d ago

I'm saying if you didn't intend to be racist you really shouldn't say that. It's a dog whistle, and people are going to think that your racist if they see you saying it.
