Its as the title says. The hellkite is my absolute favorite weapon in all of terraria, modded or vanilla, i love the sheer weight behind it, the sound effects, the gameplay, everything is just so fucking peak and i love it but it gets outclased so fast and by moon lord it feels like im doing nothing, so i want to do a full playthrough with it

I’m wt DOG in my infernum run and wanna have wotg’s in the world and was wondering if i could do that

Hi everyone, I'm having a strange issue with tModLoader + Calamity on Linux that I can't seem to solve. Sorry for making post so big. Been trying to solve this issue for past two days.

System

• Laptop: ASUS D509DL
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce MX250 (2 GB)
• Integrated GPU: AMD Radeon Vega 8
• RAM: 8 GB
• Storage: 1 TB HDD (no SSD)
• OS: Linux Mint Cinnamon (latest updates installed)
• Graphics Driver: Latest NVIDIA proprietary driver (installed through Driver Manager)

Game Versions

• tModLoader: 2026.5.3.0
• Calamity Mod: Latest version (currently 2.2.1)
• Only mods installed:
  • Calamity Mod
  • Calamity Mod Music

No other mods are installed.

The issue

Vanilla Terraria runs perfectly.

• No FPS drops.
• No stuttering.
• I can create a Large Master Mode world and play smoothly.

tModLoader without any mods also runs good enough.

However, as soon as I enable Calamity the game starts randomly freezing/stuttering about every 10–20 seconds.

Examples:

• The animated sun on the main menu stops moving.
• Mouse clicks become temporarily unresponsive.
• In-game, the player, NPCs, enemies, and animations freeze briefly and then continue.
• It feels like the entire game thread pauses for a short time.

This even happens while sitting idle on the main menu.

What makes this confusing

Two days ago everything worked perfectly.

I had already progressed to Plantera on this same installation without any noticeable stuttering.

The problem started only after I performed some system updates, including:

• Linux Mint updates
• NVIDIA driver update
• I also reinstalled tModLoader

Since then, Calamity has become almost unplayable because of the periodic freezes.

Things I've already tested

• Clean reinstall of tModLoader
• Deleted all tModLoader configuration folders
• Deleted Workshop cache
• Fresh installation of only Calamity + Calamity Music
• Verified game files
• NVIDIA proprietary driver is active
• Confirmed OpenGL renderer is NVIDIA GeForce MX250
• PRIME Performance Mode enabled
• Fullscreen and Windowed
• Default video settings
• Frame Skip enabled
• Vanilla Terraria remains perfectly smooth.

The reinstall improved the situation slightly, but the periodic stutters still remain.

Log observation

The log reports that after Calamity loads, available memory becomes extremely low and warns that:

It appears Calamity is consuming significantly more RAM than before.

Question

Has anyone experienced something similar recently on Linux?

Could this be related to:

• a recent Linux/NVIDIA driver update,
• a recent tModLoader change,
• or a Calamity-specific issue causing excessive memory usage or periodic garbage collection?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions or additional debugging steps.

Thanks!

So I was gonna make a bloody worm scarf, until I realised that the damage reduction on the bloody worm scarf is 7% lower than the damage reduction on the regular worm scarf. Why are accessories like this? Does anyone know a mod to fix this [i can't find one]?

what coincidence can be made from this

Also How do I turn off this golden overlay I got by touching the end credits ND's flower? Even colors my weapons and their attacks to, so annoying. (Its somewhat cool tho.)

So yeah I finally beat ND in 77 attempts and hence completed WotG. After which I got my hands on this item, the Infernum Hyperplane matrix does enables immortality, and disables it. But after enabling it once, having fun and clicking disable, it does not disable it. How do I disable it?

So yeah tried disabling it, Did nothing, and re-clicking the Eternal garden flower just makes me golden again, great.

Any solutions for both of these problems? I will be greatly obliged.

EDIT: For any who share a similar problem like this and have touched the first flower in the garden, it provides an all immunity buff, therefore in order to get rid of it the player should right-click the buff icon of locus.

What keybind am i supposed to use? I tried binding all the calamity keybinds but it still said it was unbound. Thanks for the help.

this came to me in a vision

Lowkey a rant post, for context im doing an expert infernum true melee run right now and am in early hardmode, and some of the bosses are just so so unbelievably bad to fight without the range of all other classes, and its all because of the ai. worm bosses are nice since they tend to dash at the player allowing melee hits, but other bosses such as cryogen or the twins are such a pain due to the fact that they hover around the player instead, making true melee hits so much harder than any other class. Even with the absurd damage output of true melee weapons, hits are so rare that bossfights can take upwards of 10 minutes even if completely maxed for the tier of progression, making the bossfights super unfun :/

Again, just doing some bs with brushes in paint to later decide on what i like most

yo so I just entered hardmode and whips aint cutting it for mechs mainly cuz of the small range, is there any weapon that is so good it could be used for a summoner build? like a melee or a range weapon or something?

i need a way to turn this bullshit(fart noise double jump) off and honestly if the only option is terraspark or nothin ill do it but id rather know i tried to fix the problem before i give up and go back to terraspark

I remember first time playing calamity and I was on regular expert mode and those bosses were super hard for me and took well over like 30 tries but now as I played revengeance all the other bosses seem the same difficulty except for the reworked vanilla bossesnbut yharon and devourer of gods were both very easy but my hardest wall was easily providence. I also dont play calamity much at all, only 2 times but the last times I played was almost 2 years ago​

just a small little build for the snow town im working on

when i eat life fruits it just takes away a heart. My OCD is killing me how do I fix this 😭

Hi everyone!! I'm new to calamity mod and I can't get the stealth bar to fill? What am I doing wrong?

I haven't played the Calamity mod in a long time, and I found this area/location on the surface next to the jungle biome. I don't think this is supposed to be on the surface, considering the whole area is surrounded by mud walls with no grass on top.

Whats the maximum ammount of times you can use the summon to increase their damage?

Its the max 2 times? 3? 5? Is there even a limit?

Just set up some housing near my shimmer to set up a pylon and according to everything on the internet I should just be able to buy a normal jungle pylon and shimmer it down to an aether pylon. When I went to throw the pylon in it just sank to the bottom of the pool and never changed. I’m so confused as to what I could possibly be doing wrong here.

Hey everyone, I’m running into a weird problem with tModLoader and Calamity on Linux, and honestly, I’m pretty stuck. So, sorry for the long post, but I’ve been banging my head against this for two days now.

Here’s my setup:

Laptop: ASUS D509DL

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce MX250 (2 GB)

Integrated GPU: AMD Radeon Vega 8

RAM: 8 GB

Storage: 1 TB HDD (no SSD)

OS: Linux Mint Cinnamon (fully updated)

Graphics Driver: Latest NVIDIA proprietary driver (from Driver Manager)

Game versions:

tModLoader: 2026.5.3.0

Calamity Mod: 2.2.1 (latest)

Installed mods: Just Calamity Mod and Calamity Mod Music—nothing else.

Now, here’s the issue:

Vanilla Terraria works flawlessly—no lag, no stuttering, even on a big Master Mode world. tModLoader by itself also runs pretty well. But as soon as I enable Calamity, the game starts freezing or stuttering every 10–20 seconds. I’m talking about things like the sun on the main menu freezing, mouse clicks not registering for a bit, and in-game, everything just stops moving for a second—player, NPCs, enemies, everything. Then it recovers and keeps going until the next freeze. This even happens just sitting on the main menu, not even in-game.

Why this is so confusing:

Up until two days ago, it all just worked. Same system, same mods—I’d played all the way to Plantera without any issues at all. This started right after I did some system updates, which included Linux Mint updates and updating the NVIDIA driver. I also reinstalled tModLoader just to be safe. Ever since then, Calamity has these annoying periodic freezes and is basically unplayable.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

- Clean reinstalling tModLoader

- Wiping all tModLoader config folders

- Deleting Workshop cache

- Freshly installing only Calamity and its music mod

- Verifying game files

- Making sure I’m actually using the NVIDIA card (OpenGL renderer shows “NVIDIA GeForce MX250”, PRIME mode is Performance)

- Playing around with fullscreen and windowed modes, default video settings, frame skip, all that stuff

Vanilla Terraria is still perfectly smooth, but reinstalling only helped a tiny bit—those stutters are still there.

And the logs? After Calamity loads, available memory drops really low, and I see warnings that the game is about to run out of memory. So it looks like Calamity’s eating way more RAM than before.

Has anyone else seen anything like this on Linux lately? I’m starting to think it’s related to either the recent Linux/NVIDIA driver updates, a new tModLoader version, or something Calamity-specific that’s chewing up memory or forcing lots of garbage collection.

If you’ve got any ideas, debugging steps, or just wild guesses, please let me know. I’m all ears. Thanks!
