Testing the same setup as popstarfreas/Dimensions-TerrariaServer#5, something done right before switching was sometimes missing in the next world. The switch destroys the connection to the previous world right away, so whatever it hadn't read yet is dropped, and with bots changing their inventory just before switching about 3.5% of those changes were lost.

This ends the connection first and destroys it 300ms later, like disconnect already does with the client, so the previous world reads what it was sent before noticing the leave. What that world sends meanwhile isn't passed on to the client anymore. The loss went down to about 0.6%, and switching takes those 300ms longer.

It was only tested with bots, so it still needs testing with real players.

What does "changing their inventory just before switching" mean exactly? How much time between sending an inventory packet and switching are we talking? Most players would need to open chat (and thus stop what they are doing) and type out the command to switch. In that time period I wouldn't expect any inventory changes other than incidental item pickups, so is there a particular scenario that you are trying to solve that can be tested against? Perhaps a player has reported something or you noticed something in your set-up?
