Problem with Server Desync | Project Zomboid | Page 1

Hallo,

I am playing PZ in a server created in my own PC (rtx3070, ryzen 5800x and 32gb ram).
I have dedicated 12gb to the server.
I have a good ethernet connection 100mb/s upload/download.

Both my friend and me are playing in the same house, just the 2 of us.

I have a ping of 1ms and my friend a ping of 2ms

Last build, no mods.

The problem is that I see some desync between our characters. Sometimes I see my friend outside the house when he went inside some seconds ago. Or I even see him going through walls suddenly.

Is there any way to fix it?

Kind Regards

Do you perhaps have any video showcasing that? And how is the server installed exactly?

#

I create the server inside the game, without using the external program for dedicated server

#

I have no video sadly

#

When I create the server everything is by default, I just increased the ram server to 12gb

#

And how often does that happen? Does it just happen specifically around the house?

#

No other desyncs?

#

It may happens anywhere as soon as my friend and I are close to each other

I would recommend hosting a dedicated server instead, since the in game server creation is mainly used for Steam friends which can be invited, while the dedicated server is more general purpose, meaning it would have a better connection especially on local networks:

I have migrated the server to a LAN server using this guide

Dedicated Server

#

I run the game and server with the -nosteam command

#

Also I opened the ports 16261 and 16262 in firewall and router

#

And connected both computers by cable to the router

#

Yesterday I was playing and we had 0 ping both of us

#

No Desync problems for the moment with this new configuration

#

The Guide I shared is really good, we kept out characters and map
