Same here - no NPCs are spawning at all - any types (which use custom models and standard ones). In our game they are inactive on game start and are enabled and spawned when player enters a volume. At the same time the creatures are spawning without issues and few guards were spawned…

I tested on xbox and PC - both in private and public with other players - broken everywhere
Just tested - they are also broken in UEFN in Test Session.
