When you do an infested quest there is a bug that is causing a difference with spawned zombies based on game stage between the host player and clients in multiplayer games. I don't play on dedicated servers so I am not sure if it happens on them but I think it may as everyone would be seen as a client and the bug is with the client not the host. I brought it up in the discussion section, but no one commented with helpful comments to know if it is there also.
When you activate an infested quest rally point, all players get the double zombies as expected and the new game stages are calculated for the players and is visible on the players page for both host and clients correctly, although only the actual player can see their new game stage, no one else can(others still show original game stage)
But when spawning the zombies from the sleeperHordeStageGSxxx in entitygorups.xml the game always uses the newly calculated game stage for the host player but only the original game stage for the clients.
so when the host does a solo quest without sharing he gets the zombies from the correct list, but the client only get the zombies from the lower list of there original game stage.
If they share the quest, it also uses the incorrect value of the client, so it sees the host as highest and uses their modified game stage, but then only uses half of the clients un-modified game stage.
In the image bellow you can see in image 1 that both players are normally game stage 14 and in image 2 and 3 that they are being calculated at the higher game stage while in the quest. but from the supplied log files you can see that the host is spawning correctly from sleeperHordeStageGS52 (52-57) but the client is only spawning from his original game stage sleeperHordeStageGS14 (14-17)
in the log file:
2026-05-06T18:51:26 to 2026-05-06T18:51:44 host did infested quest and shows group 'sleeperHordeStageGS52'
2026-05-06T18:58:59 to 2026-05-06T18:59:01 client did infested quest and shows group 'sleeperHordeStageGS14'
PS the discussion page I posted how i test this is:
