Anomalies refuse to spawn artifacts. Is there any fix?

[deciBelle]

I've been through the lesser zone and made my way to the slag heap and outside of the prologue slug, I've not been able to spawn a single artifact in reachable places.
My approach: Whip out my detector, approach the suspected location of the artifact, toss bolts while i'm closing in until it spawns. I see a white flash, and the artifact happens to spawn underground, inside rocks, inside walls or any other places that I cannot interact with.

I've tried changing graphic settings, restarting, reloading, you name it.
Nothing I've tried on my end seems to affect anything. Tossing bolts, shooting at geometry, throwing grenades in hopes of ragdolling the artifact or throwing a bunch of weapons on the ground to slide into rocks and push it out that way.

The brothers body anomaly field had an artifact that must have spawned inside a rock. Saw the white flash, looked around, found nothing but a boulder in my way.
The Pol Depot electrical anomaly field spawned an artifact but it was inside the silo and unreachable.
The Old Mill artifact (after completing the quest that guarantees a different spawn) is either trying to spawn inside the ceiling or not at all.
The flame anomaly field at the detention center seems to try and spawn an artifact inside the pipes/wall while I'm doing a fiery dance atop the grates with no way to reach it.

I've played nearly 20 hours in this game and have not acquired a single artifact for my own use. The game plays well for me otherwise, but playing Stalker with zero artifacts just isn't all that interesting to me.

Honestly, I keep getting artifacts spawning inside walls or cave ceilings too. trying to farm for a specific artifact by save scumming +200m away and then reloading if I don't get the one I'm looking for. But so many times it just spawns in a unreachable place

hmmm ive gone back and collected from the same location a few times, i think you need to wait for a couple before returning not just one

[Wafia]

Yeah, it's just easier to save scum it though, means you can just do it repeatedly. I've found plenty of artifacts so far, but I've been unable to get any radio protection ones. Which is why I'm save scumming it, because I want to finally be able to use some of the other ones I've found.

have the same problem with POL depot. I wold like to know if there is a way to fix it

DEV's already know of it they sometimes spawn under the map

I bet another huge fix list patch will be soon, gonna have players complaining of the download size of it too, if its a 100GB patch again, just uninstall the game and download it again its faster then updating the existing files
