What does F8 mean in Terraria/Tmoadloader and what can we do to solve our issue with server lag?
Hi,
Im new in this server and dont know if this is the correct way. If it is, please delete it and tell me where to head.
Me and some friends are playing Tmodloader and are playing on a world loaded on a server. It is a modded world. sometimes we experience major lag and we can't do anything. we discovered when we press F8 in game, we get something that looks like a perfomance list (according to our own internet searches). We noticed that Magic storage takes a lot but also number 55 in the list. We have absolutely 0 clue what the list means and what number 55 in the list is. Is there maybe someone that can help us more along? We are playing with 5 people and 3 of us are also studying coding but we can't seem to find an issue to our problem.

That looks a bit high, possibly suspect, but if you want to figure out what exactly is causing that amount of data being sent, you'll either need to do some testing in multiplayer to see what actions cause that value to go up rapidly or do some tests with half your mods at a time to narrow down the mod that is at fault.
It's also possible that is an expected value, if your weapons are applying a lot of buffs, but it's hard to know without comparing with a gameplay session where things are more "normal"

Yeahh, we 4 use a decent amount of buffs and we use a mod that keeps the buffs or potions active if you have a stack of 30. With 4 people, that for sure will be a lot. We disabled some calamity mods and 54 went down a bit an others went up. Somehow magic storage also takes a lot to send and recieve. But how can you tell that 54 is game syncing? We have looked everywhere and we could find what entry meant what
