Known Bugs (Console)

As we find bugs on the Console Version(s), this page will be updated. Feel free to edit this page and add or remove bugs as more are discovered and some are updated.

As we have almost no one testing on the Playstation 3™ port, all the bugs NOT marked with the PS3 sign needs confirmation to the Ps3. If you are able to test them, please contribute to the wiki by testing and editing the page and adding the sign to the bug confirmated, or simply tell us in the comments. We'll appreciate it.

Known Bugs (General)

 * Sometimes, when making a hole in the bottom of a large quantity of water, the water drains but the water level does not get lower - duplicating itself infinitely.
 * Sometimes, even when you have enough materials to craft an item, the item will not show in the crafting menu. This can be bypassed by talking to The Guide and showing him the materials or simply dropping the required items and picking them back up.
 * If you ask the guide about crafting with a certain material you will be forced to craft the first item that pulls up in his crafting guide if you have the required materials.
 * The automatic mode has a higher range of breaking and placing blocks than the manual mode. (7 blocks for the automatic mode, the manual mode reaches only 6 blocks)
 * In some worlds, Hellforges can't be found anywhere in the Underworld, though they do spawn and can be located in the Stone Layer, near the Underworld. Because of this, Hellforges can rarely be found in Dungeons.
 * When at the edge of the world, there is a rare chance the game will crash. Along with this; sometimes the game will crash if you get too close to the bottom of the world on a large map.
 * If you hit a chest with the ice rod, it will split into two chests. Every time you form an ice block on it after that, it automatically makes two chests. Along with the duplication, it forms a graphical glitch in which the ice that you formed on the chest will have made that part of the chest disappear.
 * If you get a speed changing prefix on your weapon, the prefix will read backwards. Ex. Slow says +speed, and agile says -speed. Also, if you get a mana cost changing prefix, the color will be inverted. Ex. -mana cost will be in red (like it was bad, though it is a good change).
 * Often Vilethorn does not function as intended, either using mana but having no effect whatsoever or placing a flickering image of a small segment of the extended Vilethorn at the location of the player, which lingers in place for a short amount of time and will damage enemies that walk over it.
 * Sometimes when you use a Magic Mirror while in a Meteor Biome (at least 50 meteorite blocks are nearby) and a Meteor Head is approaching you, the Meteor Head will keep following you and/or other players on your world, even if you or they are far from the Meteor.
 * In some worlds, it is impossible to relocate NPCs, even if you're inside a vacant suitable house.
 * It is possible that when a new world is generated, all or most of the Golden Chests will spawn with the same treasure item. As this can be very annoying for some players, you can know this will happen if you get the same item from at least three golden chests, then create a new world if it is your case.
 * Sometimes when fighting the Twins near your home, when you instantly respawn one of the twins will have disappeared.
 * When traveling in the Underworld it is possible to find Heart Crystals halfway drowned in lava (Where only the top half of the Heart is shown), draining the pool of lava that the Heart is currently in will result in displaying only half a Heart, having it cut off where the lava level was. The same applies to pots.
 * Sometimes after spawning the Wall of Flesh the player is grabbed by the Tongue and pulled in front of the wall, quickly noticing it's moving the wrong way. You can spawn him being furthest east, and still have WoF moving east even though he was supposed to move west. Although there is no guaranteed fix to this yet, it can be subverted by summoning him near the center of the Underworld.
 * When you use the ice rod on a tree it won't destroy the whole tree but only will destory the part that you use it on, the other tree will stay floating and the ice block will stay there, when you exit the world and come back it the ice block is gone and the floating tree will remain.
 * Dungeon Bricks can't be broken like in the PC Version, it is unknown if it is intentional or not.
 * Occasionally the Leaderboards will not update your own stats.
 * In some worlds, every Shadow Orb broken after the second one will drop an Orb Of Light. The only known way to fix this is by creating a new world.
 * Often, broken pots don't drop anything.
 * The Light Disc can be thrown multiple times regardless of how many are in the stack.
 * Holy Water has a space in the itembox where the damage should be, it also has a -5% (negative) critical strike chance.
 * Sometimes the Spike Balls in the Dungeon are not aligned with the core of the chain so the ball will not spin in a perfect circle. A possible fix for this have not yet been found, but you can avoid it simply by running away. It is not known if it is intentional or not.
 * Clay Pots can only be placed on top of Wood Platforms.
 *  Sometimes. when asking the nurse to heal you, she will have some weird text in pararenthesis such as "Unable to connect to Playstation servers" or "Reforge".
 * Most of the time, after asking The Guide about crafting, you will no longer see your equipped helmet on your character. You can fix this by placing the helmet in the Vanity slot, then re-equiping it.
 * If you take a Music Box to the Ocean biome to record the song then place it on a table in your home it will drop a fully functioning Hamdrax. Different songs have different affects.
 * It is possible to wear all accessories in the vanity slots, they do not give off their respective bonuses if they are placed in the slots.
 * Activating long circuits causes the game to crash.
 * If you stack more than 100[[File:PlatinumCoin_Small.png]] in a Piggy Bank, the stack will disappear and a Fallen Star will replace it, and your money will be lost.
 * When asking the Guide for a crafting recipe, sometimes you automatically (and accidentally) craft the first item that shows up in the list of craftable items (provided you have the items to craft it). This can be subverted by having the 'Show All' setting active when talking to the guide (you will craft the first item shown - a Workbench - provided you have 10 wood).
 * Killing a large amount of goblins that are gathered so close that they overlap (trapped them in a small pit) during a Goblin Invasion causes the game to crash.
 * It is possible to place blocks where you are standing. If you stand at the edge of the block, you can place a block where you are standing and be able to walk through it.
 * When talking to NPCs, they can sometimes get your name wrong. For example, the Wizard may call you by the Guide's name, or the Nurse may call you by the Demolitionist's name.
 * When fighting any boss, more often WoF, one or more players (excluding host) won't be able to see the boss or fight it, resulting in the players who can see it left to fight it.

Known Bugs (Multiplayer)

 * Sometimes, when the guest player in an online game tries to go far to one side of the world (right, left, below, or above) they will not be able to go past a certain area, as if the world has ended. This does not affect the host player. One way to know that this will happen is setting a spawn point in or just above the Underworld, and when you join the game, if you do not spawn at that spawn point, then this bug is active. This bug can be solved  by leaving and rejoining the game.
 * Using the Magic Missle / Flamelash / Rainbow Rod while playing online can cause the host player to crash. When the host uses one of these items, it will crash everyone playing, discluding the host themselves.
 * When two players interact with a door at the same time, it duplicates the door every time you open it (As it seems, this can seriously damage your world, so avoid doing it).
 * When a boss is defeated, all the players that didn't create the world freeze and have to restart the system.
 * There is a rare glitch that can happen if you are in a friend's world and you disconnect / are disconnected from Xbox Live. After you are kicked from the world if you go into Single Player and join one of your worlds the world will be a clear cut copy of your friend's world and the majority of the world will never generate. The change appears to be irreversable. There is currently no known fix.
 * Sometimes, microphones won't work properly (need confirmation as it can be due to NAT issues not related to the game).
 * When someone besides the host goes down to the bottom of the Hell Houses it will crash your game and take you to the My Games page. (the host will be fine going to the bottom)
 * When activating complex traps, the world will crash everyone playing. (Needs Confirmation)
 * When playing in a friends map, you open it up for viewing. After leaving his world and returning the map is no longer opened up.
 * When playing in a friends map, using the magic mirror frequently in short periods of time will crash everyone except the user and host.
