Please note: It is very likely the steam release has some bugs, we will be releasing fix patches to address these issues.
v0.11.7 marks the release of tModLoader on Steam. As such, installation instructions have changed.
If you use steam, simply install tModLoader on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1281930/tModLoader/
If you use GOG, unzip the zip to a folder named tModLoader either nested within the Terraria install folder or placed in the same folder as the Terraria install folder. Do not merge the folders or install the files into the install folder, as that will no longer work since Terraria has updated to 1.4 and tModLoader is using 1.3.5 assets. (Note: GOG won't work unless you follow the workaround in #882)
