Can't complete Poppy Field mission
Currently starting the game and after spending a stupid amount of time trying to get past the infinite "compiling shaders" loading screen I've encountered a few texture breaking bugs. I'm playing through the poppy field mission and the orthodox icon is just straight up not there so I can't pick it up and turn in the side quest. Has anyone else had the same issue?

I was able to complete the mission with no issues. Have you experienced others bugs ? Try to reload another save and see if the file was corrupted.

There's a hole in the ground in the field with a basement, and it's on a shelf, is that where you are? I know I spent a good bit looking around inside the houses first and that is not where it is.

There's someone in a house at the field who gives you another side mission. Complete that, he gives you the location for the icon. You can then choose to sell it to him or return it to the original mission giver

I talked to the guy, got the location and found the cellar. The idol just isn’t there and I looked up YouTube videos to see if maybe I was just in the wrong spot but I’m not. I tried reloading my save multiple times as well so I’m just really confused.

not on the shelf?

Maybe it's a bug? I just got thru that side-quest this past night, and once I dropped in the cellar the Icon was sitting on a shelf. The Icon is a portrait of what appears to be Jesus.

Perhaps try to load a saved game much earlier than your current one. It would mean having to replay some of the game but maybe that will fix the problem.

Its under the Ground, Happens with loot sometimes. Try loading a Save and look if its on the Shelf again.

I kinda powered through main quests and ignored most of the side quests, and as a result, a lot of the side quests seem to have failed themselves, including the Poppy Field one.

Just out of curiosity, what are the rewards from that quest? Without the quest, found an artifact called Weird Flower and it also was invisible to the detector.

Looking for the right thing? It's a painting on a shelf at the far end of the cellar, not some statue or anything, just a picture. Reward is credits

Oh, some artifacts can be found "in the wild", especialy beside the body of whoever was carrying it. If there's a a strange glow and your anomoly detector is going off, definitely have a look because it could be something dropped.

Outcome 1: You give the icon back to the quest giver for some coupons
Outcome 2: you give it to the guy that gives you directions to it in exchange for a modded AR with 10% durability
Outcome 3: You give it to the guy for the modded AR, kill him and take the icon back, then give it to the guy that gave you the quest for some coupons

I picked 3.

The reward from option 2 and 3 is hardly even worth it tbh

Yeah I just reloaded my save to check, replayed the mission and checked again. It's just not on the shelf, someone said it might be stuck under ground so I'm gonna see if there's a way to noclip or something.

Or you can sell it and and kill him and returning to the mission giver and you go plus on everything ;)

Kind of agree. The durability starting so low made me throw it in the stash thinking I was going to repair it later, but its still sitting in the stash at 10% dura 10 hours later.
