Key points

TERA is a free to play title in the US, Europe, and Korea.
Hot-pluggable, well-designed in-game controller support with appropriate icons for both controllers and keyboard/mouse input.
Heavy CPU usage due to poor optimization, UI included, and the limitation of 2 core usage results in a GPU bottleneck.[1][2][3][4]

Essential improvements

Skip intro videos

Skip intro videos[citation needed]

Modifications

Editing INI Files And Terms Of Service (Europe)

The terms of service forbids the modification of the ini files (amongst other things) and can result in the suspension of one's game account.[6] However, a community manager has stated that "for the sake of clarification, you won't get banned for changing a line in a .ini file".[7]

Field of view (FOV)

Field of view (FOV)[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open S1Input.ini.
  3. Go to the following line:
bEnableMouseSmoothing=true

Underneath this line, add a new line with the following: 

Bindings=(Name="x",Command="fov N")

Where 'N' is the desired FOV value - note that 100 is a reasonable value to set this to. Also note that there should be no semi-colon at the beginning of this line unlike the lines which follow it. A visual representation of the change in FOV value can be seen here. 

press "x" to activate ingame

Notes

The game natively supports UI rescaling, so for different resolutions/FOVs you can adjust the size of the UI via the 'UI Setting' tab in the in-game options menu.

High frame rate

Frame rate cap can be removed by editing S1Engine.ini.
Remove frame rate cap[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open S1Engine.ini.
  3. Go to the line:
    bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE
  4. Change this line to the following: 
    bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE

Issues fixed

Launcher gets stuck on "Applying Patch"

Launcher gets stuck on "Applying Patch"[citation needed]

This issue is usually solved by doing the following:

  1. Delete the file "gl.version", or "gl_v2.version".
  2. Start "TERA-Launcher.exe".
  3. Now the launcher updates itself.
  4. After patching, you are able to use the play button.

If it doesn't work, disable your Anti-Virus. Panda Cloud Anti-Virus, for example, causes this problem.


Or try downloading the patch manually here and then extracting the game.version into your Tera folder. You will need to extract the top level archive first and then extract the game.version from the second archive.

Unable to Login to Launcher

Login fixes[citation needed]

There are several reasons this issue may occur, and it is usually characterised by the login page on the launcher constantly refreshing.

  • Ensure you have javascript enabled, as this will affect your login on the launcher and on the website.
  • Several anti-virus programs appear to interfere with the TERA login; and as of yet this has not been fixed. Try disabling or reducing the stringency of your anti-virus before logging in, or (if you anti-virus software supports it) try setting the TERA launcher executable as an exception within the software.
  • If you have modified your Windows host file then this may be the cause; reset your hosts file using the Microsoft Fix it wizard.

Notes

  1. ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. ↑ File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/323370/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (323370) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
