Wow.
Okay... What the
hell just happened? zadum4ivii, you have some SERIOUS explaining to do.

This is a terrible screenshot, because it was taken in the middle of a panic, but...
Antlion Queen is bugged to hell.
We went to the desert and used the Antlion Doll, hoping to fight a cool new boss. A sandstorm started up and I could see its minimap icon - and then... Just...
Giant pixels. She was RIDICULOUSLY oversized - unable to even fit on the screen. Immediately I thought "UM... Okay... Switch to fullscreen minimap mode and I can use the boss icon as a target for where to shoot?!" Because... With how absurdly gargantuan the boss was, there's no way in hell I'd be able to hit it otherwise. So... I start to try and fight the boss as my screen is all messed up. Good, right...? It's just a visual, bug, right...?
Wrong.
In the midst of the confusing fight, the boss just...
Stuck to me. It was literally going everywhere I was, and it was impossible to get it off. I was constantly taking contact damage. There was no way I'd be able to survive unless the boss died first. Eventually I managed to run away and distance myself to the nearby desert, but my partner died, and I started getting hit by a whole bunch of invisible things. I died, too.
Is this where the torment ends?
Nope.
My partner respawned first, so they went to the desert to continue the fight... Since the boss didn't despawn. Suddenly, a MASSIVE RAIN OF SAND appeared out of nowhere - Sand Blocks were absolutely covering the land, the trees, everywhere. Everything was just completely bogged down in sand, and we had to mine through at least 300 blocks of it before our house (and the desert arena) were clear again. Why did this happen? It only proved to add a bigger annoyance to the horridly bugged fight. I am definitely not going to summon the boss again after that little escapade, and I'm also pretty terrified of summoning the Tower Keeper out of fear it'll bug out just the same.
As usual, I'll give some specs: Latest versions of Terraria and tmodloaderserver. Thorium, Antiaris, Boss Checklist, Recipe Browser, Magic Storage.
