Got it sorted out. It’s the FNIX outposts. The more are active (under FNIX control) the worse everything gets (ticks, gnomes, uninteractable things, etc.).
I had 17 active tier 3 outposts 
I destroyed every FNIX outpost, and about at 7-8 left active everything went back to normal… even Hagaboda!
Even the toughest machines FNIX has to offer can’t stand the might of the infinite tick spawns. They can quite quickly overwhelm a FNIX tank.
I claimed 10 outposts (4 forest + 6 farmland) of those 17, and I have on average only 1 or 2 FNIX bases taken control off by FNIX.
The more FNIX have, the worse it gets. As we said was the case with the forest region re: hunting gnomes. But this issue has been here since the dawn of time; long before FNIX bases were a thing, and it used to happen mainly in Haga for me.
It definitely seems related to game performance. It used to be a great indicator of gnomes, which leads me to believe that the gnomes were some kind of debug prank / indicator by a dev and were never meant to be seen.
They don’t even have to spawn from a dead machine. Here we have a tank spawning and then attacking their own ticks.
Had the same thing happen but my guy got flipped and flopped around by the angry little buggers!
Nope. I’m Marksman. My friend is Vanguard. I’m MAKING an Engineer, but it happened on Himjfall the other night while I was in the bunker outside the “town with two grocery stores” and during the quest chain there got backed into the bunker by Apocalypse class Hunters who dropped infinite Apocalypse class Ticks. Kinda annoying, kinda want it fixed after I get Pest Control.
Oh your ‘New Dawn Update’ you mentioned in the ‘know bug’ section, that there was a but that happens around Ostivik. Well, I got news for ya! I just watched for over 15 min. (after sniping a hunter until he exploded to death) continue to spawn continuously large groups of Ticks. The ticks were constantly attacking the other Hunters and walkers in the area. I was perched on a rise just outside my safe house at map cord. -2348.219, 3423.430 (a small island) and killed the Hunter on a small peninsula that is just East of Stenungsnas (in the Southern Region, far from Ostivik)
You’re right. I’ve moved this to the current thread covering the issue and adjusted the title.
//Mod
Sometimes it’s not a bug but a really useful “feature”…
At least it made the daily assignment “Kill 20 Ticks” a few days ago fairly easy to complete… 
That was near Klinte btw
Have all the issues mentoned and ive also seen missles freeze in the air sometimes and rocket launchers rockets go through the map and it tends to be anoyying ive also had problems with the lynx balls floating in the air and sometimes when i jump on a dead lynx it does damage too me ir i can not loot machines sometimes wich is anoying ever since they did the dawn update ive encountered so many bugs 
I hope they fix this 
This is a known issue. Moved to main thread.

…it is not possible to reduce the number of FNIX bases.
Every time you try to destroy an FNIX base, the game crashes just before the base is destroyed.

I hope they fix this pretty soon because it’s impossible to play the game !
How many fnix bases do you already have?
There is another topic to this issue where a dev asked some questions regarding this.
Feel free to write it down there, too… And to participate at the poll.
Sadly, if you got at the point that you’re not able to destroy a base because of the crashes, even after multiple tries, you have to wait for the update on 23rd and hope that it fixes this issue.
… does anyone know what that is???
I see the first time…
…is this a bug too ?
It’s a bug if it happened just when going there.
I had this once, too.
Normally the fireworks just appear if you finish a base defense.
Yeah, a bug related to too many FNIX bases. But it seems to not lead into a crash to desktop or at least not as much as the distorted sound when approaching a base, etc.
First time I noticed that I was somewhat astonished to see that it’s fireworks. 
…I ask myself every day why so many FNIX bases spawn on the map?
A limitation would be an advantage here.
Not every player is interested in conquering every FNIX base.
How many FNIX baese will spawn if I don’t capture any?
Although I keep conquering new spawning bases, new ones still appear.
I currently have 13 fully equipped FNIX bases on the map.
It’s too much and more are coming.
Should be all, 20 at the moment, 24 after the next update.
