Hi Wistariagold,
Thank you for shareing this detailed information (and the other information you shared in other posts too!)
The team are investigating the issues you described, I believe desync between players to may be causing trickle down effect for players.
Because you experience both desyncs and disconnects, I think the team would greatly benefit in having a look at a copy of your saves - I know you said one was overwritten, but if you have any at all that you are able to share that would be fantastic. The team can’t fix and return individual saves but they would use them in investigations and testing fixes so updates can be released for a community as a whole. If you’re happy to share your save files the details on how to do so can be found here: [Save File Request]
If you notice anything else occuring in your save with items or other multiplayer issues please do not hesitate to let me know and I will pass them onto the team. I can also flag any saves sent for followup issues if you experience them in the same save.
