I play multiplayer with only me and the host. We use Steam multiplayer. I have a feeling that this might be the reason for this bug (some kind of desync or smthing with multiplayer) but I might be totally off.
I play summoner and my summons and mount (which I am on all the time to save space for summoning equipment instead of wings&boots) randomly sometimes despawn. I have had countless moments after using pylons or turning on buffs when I realize there are no summons out for me. Sometimes during events of boss fights (not only frost queens freezing attack) my mount (the Which's Broom) would just unmount and I have to mount it again. I didn't hit the R button accidentally since my fingers aren't that close to it. Summons either seem to disappear when buffing myself or during boss fights (might be only buffing tho since I do that at the start but a few times I've been sure that they were there just before the boss came). I rarely let the bewitching buff run out and even when it does I haven't observed my summons all disappearing after that (saw a thread about that from a month ago).
The most perfect example of this bug happened today. We were getting ready for moon lord and I started activating buffs. I don't remember if I used B (for the potions) before or after the items but I activated the items in this order: Ammo box, slice of cake, bewitching table, crystal ball. Note that I had some summons out while doing that (probably ~7 parts of the stardust dragon) and I was using the broom. When I activated the crystal ball the entire stardust dragon disappeared (I think I saw some small blue sparkles too). Then I used the staff to summon it back and when I summoned the first dragon part I got thrown off the broom. There were no enemies near me the entire time. After that I remounted and summoned the rest of the dragon and life went on as usual.
The summons disappearing happened also with terraprisma later. Once when we were doing all 3 mech bosses together. Before summoning I was all ready to fight, buffed ect. When the fight ended shortly after I saw that I had no terraprisma swords out. During the fight I just thought they were beating up something somewhere. But after the fight seeing they weren't even out I suspect they disappeared when the (or one of the 3) bosses were summoned. I had a few other times when I had to resummon them right after a boss spawned.
So basically summons despawn or I get knocked off my mount during buffing myself or when bosses are out/spawned and maybe when travelling using pylons.
The host didn't have these problems and the only time he was knocked off the mount was when Ice Queen froze him. His 2 summons never disappeared without him dying. Host has Windows 10, other specs are the same.
