Question about IP server

I know that with steam servers, the host must have the game running for other people to join. Is this also the case with IP servers? If I want both players to be able to join the server without the other online, do I need to rent a server? And lastly, if that is the case, can anyone vouch for server hosts that work with tModLoader?

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.

Yes, even if they connect by IP, if you are hosting, you must be online. If you want a persistant online server, it's best to look at a host and rent one
