…from Feb 2020 !?
We have August 2022 - no fix in this time… 
uuuups…
Why fixing a feature?
It’s the best stability and bug indicator I’ve ever seen.
The interesting thing to me about this tick bug is it is literally like an in-game contagious virus which ate its host. The bases multiply, and so do the ticks. Once they multiply enough times, the host (game) dies.
It’s actually kind of fascinating if you look at it from a virology point of view. Could be useful as a model for viruses somehow.
yes, you can loot tons of ticks
the bases spawn and level up within 15 minutes. You can’t destroy them anymore because the game crashes first
After the update, the ticks still infinitely spawn for me. The only difference this time is the game didn’t crash when I raided one of the bases.
…then you’re lucky, with me “everything” is like before the update…
look…
Eh, I spoke too soon. It crashed again when the ticks spawned endlessly and I accidentally fell into a pool of water. Guess I’ll just patrol the north shore until it’s fixed.
By the way, I also have those “unexploded” missiles you got towards the end (from the doggy while you behind the rock). A whole ton of them just land and stay there lit when one of the Russian Big Boys fire them at me.
Yeh me too, patched the Recon update when it arrived and was excited to see if the ticks were fixed as mentioned in the release notes, but they still happen. A lot.
Game also crashes whenever I’m close to a tick swarm or a FNIX base.
Plus saw some weird new behaviour where ticks were spawning from a Hunter corpse, but not fully ‘hatching’ into ticks, that is they’d just spawn continuously, spin around and then disappear. Fun to watch (and I’m not sure if you can make it out in this screener), but I don’t think that’s supposed to happen…

Video shows the ‘unhatched’ ticks better, not sure if this’ll work but here goes…

Yeah,
The game is unplayable if there are Fenix bases any where near me.
Ticks everywhere…

And there I was thinking it was fixed … I even filled in the vote thing somewhere saying ‘all good on the pc’ … D’OH!
5 minute video hopefully showing what the ticks are doing which might help de-bug them.

Hay so the tick bug was mentioned as fixed but we just found at least 2 of them again.
And somehow my rockets started dissappearing too when they got close to them.
Hope it’s filled out right.

This is a known issue. Moving to ye olde relevant thread.

Happened again early this morning 9/1/22 in another totally different place and still far from Ostivik! Me thinks it’s a system wide bug not just a certain area problem. Just like the constant dumps from the game, and soooooo many other bugs, like the color fazing in and out of loot that you can’t open or collect from.
It happens all over the map for me. I absolutely love grinding this game but yeah, it’s become unplayable for me as well. I can’t walk anywhere more than a few min without hearing exploding ticks then having a game crash. Plus the same problems of not being able to loot or interact with boxes, cars, dead bots exc. The only places it seems to not happen are the far northwest regions mainly with the Soviets but I don’t want to play this game having to be careful where I go and waiting for a crash.

More ‘unhatched’ ticks for me today. Shot up a bunch of cheeky Hunters that were raiding a nearby fuel station. Their corpses ended up spawning infinite ticks, but none of them ‘hatched’ and were completely harmless, though see my next post for what was pretty annoying. Enjoy…
Annoyed about this after farming the threat points until reaching level 22 and 7 rivals in the farmlands area to spawn the Reaper only for him to go critical and spawn infinite ticks after death so I couldn’t loot anything!.. #disappointed

One thing I’ve found is that ‘disposing’ of the machine bodies that are spawning the ticks can help. I did this near the FOA site on Himjfall. There was a Apoc. Tank and I used remote explosives to launch it into the ocean, the ticks also launched it a bit. I also encountered two more hunters, on disposed of, the other made my game crash before I could dispose the body
