They teleport back to you because they can't go to far away from the servers host (you)

if you are on the center know it cant be fixed. Host your own server or avoid water.

You have to up the host tether on your server. The BASE max I believe is 3.0. If you go passed 3.0 your game can become corrupted so use at your own risk!

nope its not that, did you ever play the center with a friend and go in water? it teleports regardless of distance. and tether doesnt corrupt anything unless you put 10 million

I have never tried the center with other fellas, that's odd thought I wonder why they do that

The Center (mod map first) made the oceans different zones.

Nothing to fix, it is intended this way. On single player/non-dedicated servers, in order to reduce the load on the host's computer, areas of the map which are considered a different zone are unloaded from memory when the host moves to another area. So if the host enters a cave, the surface of the map ceases to exist, and if any player remained up there, they would fall through the floor to their death. It's done for performance reasons.

The only way to avoid it is to play your games on a dedicated server instead, since in this case the server loads all the map separately and the client does not have to do it itself. You can set up a locally hosted dedicated server on the same computer as the client, so long as you have a decent amount of RAM available. I would recommend doing this for single player games anyway, not just multiplayer, because it also avoids a number of other long-term bugs which the devs never bothered to fix too.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
