So yeah I ended up getting Terraria via a gift from a friend and it's fun. However I made a Large world for my Single player file so I'd have plenty to do. Anyways while exploring I found a corrupted area of the game world and went to digging, however no matter WHAT i do down there eventually I crash if I'm in that part of the game, often with an out of memory error or something which I can't honestly fathom how that's happening.

It's ALWAYS in the corrupted area of the game....so anyone else having this issue? What is going on that's causing this?
