Terraria randomly crashes, usually within an hour of playing the game, both when started via the .desktop shortcut and through Steam itself. The screen freezes but the audio continues for a bit. I've tried both the Flatpak and Snap packages and the issue happens with both.

In the Gnome Problem Reporting app, it shows up as "steamwebhelper quit unexpectedly" - I'm not sure if this is a consequence of the crash or the cause of it. I'm unable to file a report there, it says "Reporting is disabled because the generated backtrace has low informational value". It also only showed up twice in the Problem Reporting app, the game still crashes but it doesn't create an entry there anymore.

I am also using 2 displays: the first one is my built-in laptop display, 2880 x 1800 120hz, 175% scale. This is the display the game is actually running on. The second display is an external monitor connected via DisplayPort: 3440 x 1440 75hz, 100% scale. The external monitor is set as the primary display. Terraria for some reason is not able to correctly determine the size of the external monitor, I am not sure if that is related.

Here's the output from Help > System Information. Note that it seems to get the display resolution wrong.

Hello @rdong8, this issue should be reported to the game's dev(s).

Rrdong8 2025-03-18 github

Makes sense, just wanted to report it here as well since the display resolution issue is showing up in Steam itself

PpotatoOisin 2026-01-04 github

Was there any update or fix you found because i am experiencing an almost identical issue on arch linux?

There were some suggestions here but I did not end up finding a fix
