No...I don't mean running the dedicated server client...i mean.. an actual Dedicated Server as in one that we pay for... It is nothing that has to do with internet speed or bandwidth...
*EDIT* Quotes got goofy on me...

I'm a friend of him and we used a dedicated server, I rent for a few days. The problem remained, hope thats clear enough.

Ahh okay. Well, i suppose its good to know that it isn't just the company we host our server through...though, at this point i almost wish it was.

I have tested this on many different OS, and the issue is not in Terraria, it is faulty setup in your computer. Including but not limited to:
Drivers of Graphic Cards (Betas can be unstable at times)
Settings of Control Panel on Graphics (turning on VSync ON/OFF can sometimes fix this issue depending on your power house)
Using application controlled settings is bad, and best to use the graphic's settings instead.
Running other applications such as OBS can lag FPS for no apparent reason (still unsolved)
I would recommend checking this first for NVidia Users, AMD users would need to check your own control panel:
Q: I am experiencing low frame rate for Terraria, but the machine passes as recommended?
A: If you are using nVidia Control Panel, you can select Terraria.exe process and change the specifications on how your graphic card handles the game. Follow these instructions:

What about the dozens of people with shit laptops that have Intel cards?

As said, if you would read. I did that allready, also this does often only work on Pcs with like 3,2 ghz Dual Core or 2,4 Quad Core.
Also, the guys with Intel cant do that.
Note: You cant Select Terraria // you cant select anything with Amd Control Panel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My world has corrupted somehow and will not load properly, what can I do?
A: You may have corrupted the world by using modded clients, computer shutdown before the world could complete the save, or system failure within Terraria that caused the problem. You can try attempting to load your world using TEdit (Download).
Q: My game is not launching, or I get errors regarding XNA/.NET Framework!
A: You can attempt to make sure you have all Game Dependencies first, then try attempting this solution:
If you don't feel like sifting through all that, it's basically to do with the framework permissions.
This is how you change the right to use Framework/XNA:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32:
Microsoft.Xna.Framework\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Video\v4.0_4.0.0.0__842cf8be1de50553
Q: Steam has reported that one (1) file has failed verification and was downloaded?
A: This file is known as the serverconfig.txt file. Originally this file shouldn't be packed with the game as Terraria should create this file automatically on launch if it is missing or out of date. Due to it being changed and updated by server owners, the file will constantly fail the verification process. This has no effect on playing the game, and can be ignored.
Q: I am experiencing low frame rate for Terraria, but the machine passes as recommended?
A: If you are using nVidia Control Panel, you can select Terraria.exe process and change the specifications on how your graphic card handles the game. Follow these instructions:

SORRY FOR BAD ENGLANDO (Bad English, i'm from south america and i want to give my details about this problem)
Hello, well i have the same problem and i am very sad because i can't play with my friends, i believe this is going to fix.
Let's start, first of all, i finished terraria 1.2.4.1, amazing game and i had no problems with FPS, just only few lag spikes because of my pc, my pc isnt amazing but i had 40-45 fps on Terraria 1.2.4.1 SINGLEPLAYER and MULTIPLAYER, now in this Terraria 1.3, i have 40-45 FPS just in SINGLEPLAYER, in this case, multiplayers is unplayable, 2-3 FPS, it's just impossible that is mine's pc problem, because my pc works nicely in SINGLEPLAYER, i already did everything you guys asked me to do ( Multicore Lighting: OFF, My drivers are uptaded, V-Sync OFF, etc ).
Here i will let my PC details from DxDiag, hope it will help because this game, this game is just wonderful and i want to give 120 hours of my life playing it like a boss!
My steam username is adipekz98_ by the way if you want to see if i have a legal copy of it, how could i not buy this game.

Hate to burst your bubble there Marcus while I do agree more info should be given other then same here on the issue. Given the fact that a lot more threads on multiplayer lag/ frame rate drops have occurred since 1.3 you cannot say 100% its not something related to the game. Yes something could have changed in the game that requires additional settings that is true but to outright say "I can't reproduce it its not terraria" when you only go into details on nvida shows there might be more.
Also having this issue and the system specs are:
AMD A8-3800 APU with radeon hd graphics 2.4ghz
AMD Radeon r7 200 series graphics card
8gb ram
windows 8.1 64 bit
Like others posting single player is fine multi not so much frame skip on, multicore off (both were set there to begin with), etc, etc tried everything listed in the multiple threads on this issue.
Steam names the same as this account feel free to verify my copy is legitimate

"It is your faulty setup in your computer" that is a very interesting thesis, which is complete bull
in my view. There are a way too many people, who got this issue and a huge majority did with me a complete workaround from updating drivers to reinstalling etc.. Also the typical "Hey, use vsync and use tbuffering helps!" No, I mean yes there are situations in which it can help, but normally doing that results in huge input lag and is not recommended for high spec PC's (yes, also those ppl are having this issue). It seems like you are just focusing on this thread, because there are hundered ones, who opened threads with their specs, with pictures, with a lot of information. Also the Frameskip thing is NOT good, it results in slow motion for a lot of players (especially in multiplayer).

You think it would be that easy to instantly do an update? They need to check every code that has to do something with Multiplayer and that takes a while...
