Horrible Desync

me and my friend have been trying to play together, but out of nowhere, whoever isn't the host suddenly experience insane desync and lag; enemies become unkillable and they start teleporting all over the place. what really confuses me is that i'll restart my pc or the game and like 3 times out of 10 it'll fix it for an hour and it comes back. me posting here is my last resort, as ive done literally fucking everything to try and fix this, here's a list of all I've tried. -reading the FAQ -disabling every single mod, it still happens if im vanilla in tmodloader, not on just normal vanilla terraria though. -restarting PC and the game -switching who hosts the world, whoever joins experiences the same problems. -verifying file integrity -deleting & reinstalling -switching wifi networks, i'm neighbors with my cousin and I used theirs, still had the same issue. I will use this opportunity though to point out that me and my friend have gigabit internet with a high upload -fucking factory resetting my PC -enabling port forwarding via our routers -following this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2923672646 literally NONE of these worked, ive never had an issue as persistent as this and id really appreciate yall's help with this as i just wanna play calamity with my friend. modlist incase it somehow helps: [ "CoolerItemVisualEffect", "LogSpiralLibrary", "ColoredDamageTypes", "BetterZoom", "SubworldLibrary", "Fargowiltas", "CalamityMod", "BossChecklist", "OreExcavator", "WMITF", "RecipeBrowser", "BossBagInventoryGlow", "MagicStorage", "SerousCommonLib", "AlchemistNPCLite", "SummonsUI", "DPSExtreme", "InfernumMode", "CalamityModMusic", "ClamExtraMusic" ]

Welcome to #support-forum. Before someone helps you, please first consult the information in #TML Troubleshooting Guide and try all the suggestions that might fit your particular issue, especially in the linked FAQ page. If the information in the pinned thread does not solve your issue, please post all log files by dragging and dropping them into this chat. In Steam right click on tModLoader in the library, then hover over Manage and click on Browse local files. In the folder that appears find tModLoader-Logs and open that folder. Inside that folder are the logs files. Select them all except the Old folder and drag them into this chat. If you need a visual guide to this process watch this: https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/assets/4522492/3f4efa43-753f-4733-b630-ba85e711340c

Can you post your logs along with your PC specs? Are you hosting the server locally?

these are from a session where I was host and my friend had insane desync like ~2 minutes ago.

does this occur with no mods? and could you try without magic storage, disabling autosave?

it'll happen with no mods installed, literally vanilla tmodloader, i havent tried no autosave though
Michaelsoftman
So you are hosting but it's your friend experiencing horrible desync even with base TML? Does the same happen in vanilla Terraria as well?

Do this for both - if it remains busted then I'm not sure what might be causing the desync.
