Quest Progression Sandbox Setting Not Working Correctly on Dedicated Servers

Version
3.0 dedicated server
Platform
Windows
Environment: Dedicated Server


Summary​


Quest Progression settings appear to work correctly in single-player but do not correctly apply to trader quest tiers on dedicated servers.

Observed Behavior​


With Quest Progression set to 5:


  • Opening Trade Routes unlocks after the configured number of completed quests.
  • The quest menu reports progression based on the configured value.
  • However, actual trader quest tiers remain locked behind the default quest point thresholds.
  • Example: Tier 3 jobs did not unlock until reaching 31/30 quest points, despite progression being set to 5.

With Quest Progression set to None (-1):


  • The quest menu updates and displays progression as unlocked (31/0 points, Tier 4 displayed in my test).
  • Traders still do not offer all quest tiers.
  • Advancing time, changing days, resetting trader quests through admin options, and using progression-related admin commands did not update available quest tiers.

Single Player Comparison​


On a fresh single-player 3.0 Experimental world:


  • Quest Progression was set to None (-1).
  • The quest menu displayed Tier 6 with 0/0 points.
  • After completing the initial trader introduction quest, the trader immediately offered all quest tiers as expected.

This suggests the Quest Progression setting is functioning correctly in single-player but is not being fully applied on dedicated servers.


Additional Testing​


  • givequest quest_tierXcomplete commands did not update displayed quest points or available quest tiers on the dedicated server.
  • Giving XP also had no effect on trader quest tier progression.
  • Actual tier unlocks continued to occur at the default quest point thresholds.

Expected Behavior​


Dedicated servers should apply Quest Progression settings the same way single-player worlds do. If progression is set to None (-1), all quest tiers should be immediately available after trader access is unlocked. If progression is set to a custom value, trader quest tiers should unlock according to that configured value rather than the default quest point thresholds.
 
Reproduction Steps

Reproduction​


  1. Create a dedicated server.
  2. Set Quest Progression to a custom value (tested with 5) or set it to None (-1).
  3. Start a new world and new character.
  4. Complete trader quests.
