How to fix Ancient Processor Blueprint not spawning in Disney Dreamlight Valley Does Not Compute

Even if you’ve found most of EVE’s ancient artifacts, you can stumble on a roadblock that forbids mission progression. Specifically, the Ancient Processor Blueprint won’t spawn during the Does Not Compute mission. I, amongst many players, have encountered this issue, but fortunately, there’s a way to fix it. 

DDV Ancient Processor Blueprint not spawning solution

Restart your game or start another mission to fix the Ancient Processor not spawning issue in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Many players have found that a simple restart can do the trick. However, if it’s still causing you trouble, the second option might be your best bet. 

Deactivate the Does Not Compute quest and start another mission. While this other quest is active, return to The Docks and use the Hourglass. Remember that the item must be claimed inside EVE’s hideout, marked with the star icon on the map below, as other objects will appear outside its boundaries. Once I did this, the Ancient Processor Blueprint finally decided to show up. You can then reactivate Does Not Compute to progress further. 

In my experience, non-quest-related items can sometimes restrict the ancient artifact’s spawn. You may also encounter the ‘There is no more treasure in this area. Look elsewhere’ notification when looking for it. Thus, if you run into these problems, use one of the solutions above to refresh it.

Some players have encountered this issue with other Does Not Compute items, including the Ancient Slate. Luckily, the fixes💛 here work for these objects, too.
