Multiplayer progression ruined my save

[Popcorn]

This is gonna be a long one, but as it is quite game breaking, i needed to fully explain how the problem occured.

So me and a friend has been playing through the game, where he has joined me with shared progression every time. We had come so far as to give the umbral book to dunmire, follow him to skeen, and was supposed to go to mothers lull, which required me to have 50 umbral scouring to get the umbral clump. but i didn't have enough, and my friend did.

So we decided for the first time to make me join his session instead so he could buy the clump. oddly enough, in his world, he was lacking several vestiges in-between areas, even though we have been taking all vestiges and every boss together the entire time... anyways, he bought the clump, which granted me the clump aswell, and since he was lacking several vestiges including the one closest to harrower dervla, we decided to hop back into my session, which should have had everything unlocked.

At this point, my session which should have been fully fleshed out with all the vestiges, all the questline stuff and everything, apparently copied his save instead, and i lost a lot of my vestige points,, we decided to rush down to the harrower arena, insert the clump and teleport to mothers lull where Dunmire was waiting.

Only when i talked to him now, he was requesting the umbral book which i had already given him, locking us out of the entire quest we had used a lot of time progressing....

So the shared progression system that has been implemented seems to have a massive flaw, in that not only does the friend that joined, not get everything unlocked for some reason, but joining someone who has less progression than yourself results in a lot of quests and quest items and vestiges that have previously been delivered, unlocked and progressed, gets completely broken, basically destroying the entire save of the person that had the most progress..... THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT HAS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND FIXED ASAP.

It works by copying their save. You have his save. Get the book again.
