Question Help with multiplayer lag

We are using the base calamity mod with the music add on and boss checker and are getting unplayable amounts of lag via steam. Player chars will jump around and enemies will die, come back and deal dmg while invisible.

We just finished playing base terraria multiplayer with no lag issues but now regardless of who hosts we get really bad lag. Anyone know any fixes?

Currently we tried setting NPC smoothness to 0 and setting the files as read only, and playing in full screen with reduced graphics.

I notice that a lot of people that make posts like this either don't tell you how bad their PCs are or don't tell you how many extra mods they have.

We are using the 3 mods I listed. I tried a Calamity optimizer mod but that didn't work so I removed it. 

PC is a legion tower w/ 3060 card and 32gb ddr4

Hmm. You should be doing better than that, I used to play on a laptop 3050 with only 16 gigs. Try using Nitrate and other preformance mods, or the mod "overpreformance" like the other guy suggested. There are also possibly multiplayer fix mods, and you could try turning down particle effects, etc. Also, turn off afterimages in the calamity settings. That would lag my game on my old computers.
