Friend is playing Terraria instead of Tmoloader, very annoying error
Hello, I have an error that is happening to me quite often and I don't know how to solve it. The error is the following: when I play through a friend's Steam server, out of nowhere it kicks me out of the server and tells me connection lost. So I want to join again, but what happens? It tells me that my friend is playing Terraria and not Tmoloader and it won't let me join unless my friend closes the game and starts it again. But what happens? The same thing happens again and it's really tiring. Is there a solution?

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-ba85e711340cplain-purpleOP•4mo ago
You can launch only tModLoader using the
start-tModLoader.bat located in the tModLoader installation directory. This will not count hours for Terraria, though.Tag: paths (Owner: jopojelly#0000)
Here are some useful default paths:
Windows Saves:
%UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\Terraria\tModLoader (This is typically found in C:\Documents\)
Linux Saves: ~/.local/share/Terraria/tModLoader/ or $XDG_DATA_HOME/Terraria/tModLoader/
Mac Saves: ~/Library/Application support/Terraria/tModLoader/
Windows Install: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\tModLoader
Linux Install: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/tModLoader or ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/tModLoader
Mac Install: Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/tModLoader/tModLoader.app/Contents/MacOS
Mod Path: Your manually installed mods are stored in a subfolder of the Saves folder called /Mods. Workshop mods are stored in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1281930, but you shouldn't touch the folder and instead unsubscribe in steam.
Logs Path: The Logs are found in a subfolder of the Install folder called /tModLoader-Logs.plain-purpleOP•4mo ago
Thanks but to solve the problem of lost connection that appears from time to time
Likely a mod that is causing that.

How do I find out which mod is causing this?
Check the logs or disable mods until it stops.

That
To start the game, yes

So that will fix it so that when he kicks me out of the server I can join again because he will say he is playing tmoloader instead of Terraria.
It could be due to the Wi-Fi connection, because I have good Wi-Fi, but my friend who hosts the server, I think not so much.
