The workaround does work on multiplayer, as long as both players have taken the steps above. My friend and I are playing on the "Better Vanilla" mod and haven't had any issues like we did before, and I'm playing on vanilla.

Okay... Here's what I ended up having to do: I deleted my Prefabs folder (again). Validated it through Steam (again), and this time Steam said that some files couldn't be validated. I tried again, and the files were validated. This part didn't happen when I tried to delete the Prefabs folder the first time. I started a new game (which really sucked). I'm only doing Tier 1 quests without issues. In my previous single-player game, I was already seeing zombies not spawning correctly for clear quests on Tier 1. I still think that it's a bug, but it's one that has a workaround. Maybe it will work with a saved game, but don't hold your breath because it didn't work for me on a saved game. Also, my friend and I haven't played together after I figured out the workaround, so I don't know if it'll work on multiplayer games.

Thanks, I'll give your ideas a try.

Deleting the Data/Prefabs folder and validating didn't work either. We're now noticing that even on the lower tier fetch quests, the zombies aren't completely loading in. I'm guessing that the issue is related to all quests because we can raid and clear a poi, reset it for a quest, and zombies aren't appearing as they should.

My friend and I have similar issues with clears, at least for tier 2, 3, and 4 quests. We clear the poi and the quest isn't updated to reflect that. We go through the poi multiple times to look for rooms/areas that we've missed, and the quest still isn't updated. Last night, I think we were down to one zombie and the yellow marker showed the zombie above us in the underground area but below us up top. I think it might have gotten stuck in limbo between two areas. I tried digging to find the zombie, but to no avail. We've noticed in the past two weeks that the zombies spawn in late when doing clear quests; like, after we've walked through and looted several rooms, we have a multitude of zombies appear in the rooms that we just walked through. We can run the same poi as a fetch quest and don't have any issues with zombies loading, the issue only happens with clears or fetch/clears. So, it appears that this phenomenon only occurs when the player has to clear the poi; whether it is a fetch/clear or a straight up clear. Whenever possible, my friend and I choose buried supplies or fetch quests over clears because of this issue; however, the clear quests are unavoidable in the higher tiers. The command, "sleeperreset" seems to work; however, it resets sleepers everywhere, including our home bases. I know I read a new thread somewhere in which a person encountered a similar issue. They deleted the Data/Prefabs folder and validated the files, but it didn't work. They were also advised to use the "chunkreset cr" command, which didn't work for them or for us. We will try deleting Data/Prefabs folder and let Steam reload it and validate, and let you know how it works for us. The same/similar bug has been reported and I think that I read somewhere that it was "under review."
