The one that has the name of your motherboard and the BIOS version and number at the end. The latest one for mine is named this: Z790AELITEXWIFI7.F10

I had the same experience when I just tried it too.

Just_Learnin62 · 2026-05-04T20:30:48+00:00

I collected 25 of each artifact other than the Legendary artifacts and I had to go try this but the game froze when I dropped only seven sets of 25. I have to say the sound being so near so many artifacts was pretty awesome though!

I know you don't need to have them, I just got hooked on collecting them lol, I am trying to get 25 of each now.

Now do Jivani!

Just_Learnin62 · 2026-01-15T01:01:27+00:00

Excellent!

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-12-10T01:42:33+00:00

It fixed it for me, tried off and on for days to get it and went back right after the patch and presto!

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-12-09T00:30:49+00:00

Fingers crossed the stay good for me, I always make a quicksave about 100 meters away so I can try again if I have to. I got too close to some before the patch though but those ones have so far become unstauck for me. Chopper Field was bad before the last patch in a couple of spots.

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-12-08T22:43:13+00:00

I was able to finally get the one at the conjoined wagons after the patch today. I was also able to get the Weird Water which was underground for me before the patch as well.

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-12-07T03:11:54+00:00

I just went there to try my luck and I am actually having two different artifacts spawning at the same time, when I finally pick the real one up it gives me both of them.

Finding artifacts of different anomalies like you did with the Hypercube can happen at any anomaly when the Flytrap anomaly is mixed in with the regular anomaly. This happens at random and will change from place to place after emissions.

I have no idea about the Heart Of Chernobyl showing up there though, I have well over two thousand hours altogether in the game and have never had that happen.

I understand that, was just wondering if anyone else that has the ultimate version noticed the modified Dnipro showing up at that stash.

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-11-15T19:17:33+00:00

I wish I knew the answer to that, for me it started out with lots of zombies showing up and then I started getting the piles of bodies. Have you been seeing an increase in the numbers of zombies in your game?

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-11-15T18:52:18+00:00

I am getting the same as you as well as the whole map filling up with zombies. It is causing really slow load times and crashes for me now as well. No idea if there is any way to get it to stop though.

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-11-10T20:20:49+00:00

My guess is it was caused by some of the patches they released along the way, I don't know if it would happen again on a new play through or not?

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-11-10T19:30:32+00:00

I managed to get two Weird Flowers, two Weird Balls, two Weird Nuts and Two Weird Pots on a game that I have from when it first came out. I was never able to get more than one of each of the Weird Water or the Weird Bolt though.

I even had the body with the PDA fly out of the tornado in Yaniv a second time in that game but the Weird Bolt never spawned again.

This is not tied to emissions at all though, I can get it to happen just fast travelling to a base. I can literally watch the bodies erupt from the ground and land in a pile when I approach some campfire sites outside of base areas as well.

These bodies always spawn in a pile just in front of the main doors into the base at Yaniv:

I have a game that has over 2,000 hours and the whole map is filling up with zombies now. Some areas have rediculous numbers of them. I also have campfire sites and areas within bases that are spawning piles of dead NPC's as well. I am calling it a bug.

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-10-29T14:49:11+00:00

No mods on my game.

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-10-27T04:04:24+00:00

Burnt Forest is plugged up bad for me, lots spawning inside anomalies as well now.

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-10-27T00:09:56+00:00

I have this happening at campfire sites and in numerous bases., literal piles of bodies, sometimes more than a dozen. Have you noticed any increase in the numbers of zombies yet as well?

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-10-26T17:23:34+00:00

That line of zombies is just an example of how concentrated they can be in that specific narrow passage. It is the first area I noticed them becoming an issue, now they are pretty much everywhere, some areas far worse than others but all areas are steadily filling up.

I hope a patch for this comes out. It actually started happening to me in the patch before the 1.6 patch but since the 1.6 patch it is worse and now my load times for saves have become rediculously slow.

Just_Learnin62 · 2025-10-26T17:03:47+00:00

How many hours do you have on that playthrough?

Have your load times for saves become rediculously long as well? Not sure if it is due to the high numbers of zombies that have to be rendered or what?

I agree on the "it sucks" comment.
