I must say, I was a little surprised seeing that date
not that there are no old-school diners left, but I expected like a 1995-ish kind of date
judging from the newspapers, the diner incident was only shortly after the camp and high school incident as the papers suggested those would resolve and re-open soon, instead of becoming permanent deathtraps
then again, it's a registry, so it's possible the diner has been abandoned for one or two decades and the internal clock has just been ticking
I don't think they'll add an exorcism mode anytime soon
oh dang, ngl this challenge is too hard for me lol
wishes example
see the ghost - hunts after 5 seconds
trap the ghost - also traps yourself if not used in a hallway
sanity - sets every player to 50% and increases future drain + moves the ghost
wish for knowledge - crosses out a false evidence but leaves the player blind
ohh kk
Is there going to be a Christmas event this year?
I have no reason to believe not
halloween was REALLY early, so maybe as soon as next week?
but I think the base map rework was also due for this year, so maybe they'll focus to push out either and then the other?
hard to guess, just keep an eye on the news
Thanks!

hey guys, what's the fastest way to trigger a hunt in amateur or intermediate?
Cursed item
I will gather my courage to practice hunts :')
thank you
oh if I find a monkey paw, is it possible to ask for death or hunt or stuff?
would death literally kill me instantly?
Wish to see the ghost causes a hunt, you can see all wishes and what they do on the cheat sheet
At what point should I start trying to do bigger maps and higher lvls?
And does map size matter in the exp?
Idk why is it when I launch ghost busters song on max volume when I'm playing instantly I get into the house-place the ghost starts huntin
still no update on winter Jest release
If you are asking do bigger maps give more money/xp the answer is yes
Whenever you unlock larger maps go try them out! And as long as you are having fun, keep increasing difficulty. I find Professional to be a good sweet spot to learn for harder difficulties. Less wait time for the ghost to do things, and all evidence provided while you learn how the ghost acts
If I was to do apocalypse 3 should I just reset till I get a deo?
i mean hunts arent that scary once you get them and loop the ghost like 2 - 3 times lol
Is there currently a bug with ghost throwing stuff in lit rooms? In multiple games on several maps, I've had ghosts being in a room (motion sensored) and throwing things in a room where the lights are on (such as the basement on Tanglewood) and the ghost was NOT a poltergeist or Mimic.
I even made sure to light all adjacent room lights just to guarantee it wasn't throwing or interacting from nearby rooms in spite of the motion sensors.
In one case the ghost was a Deogen and in another it was an Oni.
Is this something you have noticed? I'm fairly certain ghosts aren't able to throw items in lit rooms, unless it's a Polti using its ability.
idk what happened to me but i used to play this game like a year ago and i was even scared of amateur, but i came back to it a week ago and i am not scared at all. my first instinct whenever i play the game is to immediately start a hunt lol
I pray the same happens to me 
I had a yokai and a banshee throw things in the room while the lights were on
like what are you scared of when you play the game lol
It's a real factor lol (help I'm scared too)
I recommend watching a lot of content on youtube. I learned most of what i know from Insym and Jojo
Christmas event when? Does anyone know? I can't find any information about it.
The fact that I will be chased and that I'm aware of that fact π
we got this
i always beg for a hunt lol
Lmfao I'm literally watching an Insym video right now 
I love watching insym
i even have the balls to always stand up around the kitchen islands when the ghost is chasing me lol
Can a mimic mimic a drogen while youre bellow level 30
Some people just have significantly stronger immersive ability and it's going to be spooky for them . Analytical people tend to not be scared and get more focused on the gameplay.
no
I was playing intermediate with my new friend and for some reason the banshee was hiding uv like i tried salt 5 times and it turned off a light and breaker with nothing on them
A mimic can mimic any ghost no matter the level
Because it just happen to me
If you are prestiged and under level 30 it can, but if not prestiged my understanding is that it cannot
Ohhhh i had previous levels before update so i started at prestige 1 when the leveling update came out i had no idea that was a thing
Are you 100% sure it was mimicking a Deo? It wasn't another ghost type with similar behaviour? If you just bought it, I suspect you're not super experienced and getting speeds wrong is easy even for experienced folks
π€
So you are pretty new to the game, what makes you think it mimiced a deo?
but fr though as long as you find a hiding place or a looping spot you are completely fine. if you want you can even use reshade or nvidia filters to completely brighten up the dark areas where there is no light
I'm just level 14 and
And then there are freaks like me who are both and get immersed in the analysis
I just found tarot card, it'll be my first time using it for a hunt π
gosh I'm terrified if only I had someone with me
buuuuut it'll be a nice experience ig
If you weren't already in the contract the plea for help would be more effective lol
I was playing sunny meadows and I got tarot cards and I got death like three times and left after locking in demon
Problem with Reshade is it doesn't play nice with multiplayer, for me at least.
i can play with you if your that scared lol
imagine getting the hanged man card
rip
I run to use the tarot immediately because somehow in 600 hours almost i dont have the high priestess card in my lobby caseπ
I just want to get friendly ghost mode
There is you can make a custom and turn on friendly ghost!
Tarot may just be the most YOLO cursed item. But also funny. Just wish they were more useful. But at least they aren't the voodoo doll.
the only thing that scares me in phasmo is literally dying and losing money lol
Im missing moon and the hanged man
Yeah I'm saying I just want to unlock it
But the grind is so long just spamming tanglewood perfects
if i had infinite money boy will i be running that no evidence, no sanity, no hiding places 24/7
Stick to amateur. You barely ever lose anything even if you die.
Do all videos and pictures have to be unique for a perfect?
im lvl 58 lol
I checked the phasmo wiki for my own learning and knowledge. Yes a mimic can copy a deo before level 30 prestige 0. Though the evidence would be pointing you to a mimic.
Can't forget about recordings too
Exposure therapy cured me. I set it to 0 sanity and just practiced looping. I already expected the ghost to hunt, and just looping them over and over got me used to dying.
And? The fact is still true π
Whenever I play with my friend we take turns with the tarot cards if we get them, they donβt know that hanged man is a possibility bcs I havenβt told them
Awwwwww......... π₯
Also, you can hold 3 smudges now if you're just practicing looping. That's usually long enough to keep the ghost away until it despawns.
i mean you are not wrong lol but i am the type of idiot that plays no sanity no evidence lol
I'm 80ish somewhere and I enjoy the challenge of 0-evi/0-sanity but with friends I usually play way more chill modes π
It IS fun though, right? π
i mean i hate public lobbies, 90% of times i get kicked almost insantly lol
i love it
a game of begging the ghost isnt a wraith or a banshee or the ghost room being in the kitchen
π
I got INSANE luck and landed in a lobby of guys who gave me the Nell's easter egg card
I had a basement Mare on Tanglewood.. I hated my existence.
hoΔ±w many cards are there π π
Too many...
Eight, right? With the Tower being bugged.
i once got a yokai that pretended to be a yurei lol
And also any individual deck only has a total of ten cards in it
i was so confused when the match ended and it said it was a yokai lol
I hate basements and I almost refused to do tanglewood basement ghost room lmao
I got no death, one hanged man but it was fool
same i just go back to the truck and leave and try again lol
What's worse is that in 40 minutes, it didn't even change rooms. I was crying xD I just couldn't get it to do ANYTHING unique.
Anybody else here know all the tarots because of the binding of isaac?
My new thing is Nightmare on 50 sanity on Willow Street. Hide in the front room and see if I can tell what it is by sound, then just bump sanity back up and do the rest. But I STILL hate the basement somehow.
my gooood it was a revenanttt I'm so lucky I didn't get death
Quick temperature check. "Oh, you're downstairs? Kbye"
There's ten cards with chances with it
Tower is bugged and doesn't do anything atm. It's supposed to increase activity for two minutes.
Hermit locks the ghost to the ghost room for one minute
ohhhh I see
one minute??? i thought it was longer π
so if I get death after hermit, then the ghost is free again yeah?
(I don't remember exactly, but I think it's just a minute)
also after 205+ hours in phasmo is it the right time to say why the hell do people almost insantly kick you when you join public lobbies lol
Where you got 2 minutes from?
This is one of those "You're gonna have to test it" things. I don't know which one overrides the other, but it's probably safe to assume a latter card overrides an earlier.
Brainfart. Remembered the 2,. Got confused with the next card I was thinking of and made a doodoo.
20 seconds!
hooo I see
I barely ever use tarot so I'm not super comfy with remembering all the effect details.
guess i will never know π
So imma post this again in hope of someone knowing more than me.
Is there currently a bug with ghost throwing stuff in lit rooms? In multiple games on several maps, I've had ghosts being in a room (motion sensored) and throwing things in a room where the lights are on (such as the basement on Tanglewood) and the ghost was NOT a poltergeist or Mimic.
I even made sure to light all adjacent room lights just to guarantee it wasn't throwing or interacting from nearby rooms in spite of the motion sensors.
In one case the ghost was a Deogen and in another it was an Oni.
Is this something you have noticed? I'm fairly certain ghosts aren't able to throw items in lit rooms, unless it's a Polti using its ability.
I never join public lobbies, but I hear this comment a lot so I doubt I ever will.
idk i never consider if the light is on or off when the ghost throws an item lol its just something in the back of my mind but ive seen a lot of ghosts throw items in the light
I believe the technical thing is that ghosts can only do EMF 2 interactions in the light (outside of events) and a throw is EMF 3.
like they are posting a PUBLIC lobby you want people to join why kick almost everyone that joins lol
I have been seeing it more and more lately which is why I'm asking if something is bugged, has changed or if the wiki and content creators are wrong π
Can only imagine that the motion sensor might not be reacting properly, sometimes I notice it goes off even if you can't video it
2 seconds after the door opens a dude uses the cursed item and someone dies
~~ i def havent done that before lol ~~
lemme guess was it tarot cards
yes
knew it
anything but a high priest
I personally like to play hide and seek π good luck to everyone else lol
i demand a ghost hunt at the cost of my teammates death lol
Then where is it throwing from? All nearby rooms were also lit, just to check if something was wonky. Only twins would be able to throw from far enough away, and none of the ghosts were Twins.
i need to know if the ghost speeds up with LOS and if it dosent its basically jackpot for me
Its so ridiculously slow when im near him
Like it took forever too just cross a short distance and is slower than a warm hantu
Did you have LOS? Otherwise it could be a Rev.
Also, do you have T3 salt down?
Or T2 smudge?
Without a video I can't really say, it's possible that certain throws are excluded - they've recently added levitation and then throws.
Yes i am standing in front of him and it still took forever
Either way, I'd say throw in a bug report
#bug-reports if you have evidence that'll help Kinetic nail it down
was it fast from really far away?
Thanks. Until this is confirmed, I'll be a lot less confident in saying Polti on lit room throws.
I'm gonna have to test more to cover edge-cases and such. But I'll get a bug report in once I have some more data.
is this the right time to ask how do i report someone cheating

_ _
I dont heard it but as soon as i got close it immediately slow down
idk could have been a bug honestly
i do not trust unity and c# lol
okay what do i say in mod mails dms
Assuming You've reported in game, any additional evidence would be helpful, e.g. video of the cheater
i didnt report in game but i do have video evidence of his name and him speed hacking
Report in game first , should still be in your recent players list, then give the evidence
he isnt in my recent player list but i do have him on my block list but idk if there is a way to report him from there
Hey
Hey does anyone know if theres a giveaways channel or a server that does phasmo drops? Its on sale right now and Iβm trying to see if any communities usually run stuff during sales
There isnβt.
sad.. okay thanks
The game itself has drops that are Twitch drops for badges in the game but not normally anything else
Oh, and I assume the Ouija Board bug has been reported already. It's not in the "Known issues" list, so I just wanna make sure.
oh not exactly ingame drops i meant like giveaways that gift the actual game on sales time
I just wanted to make sure and clarify
Not sure what the bug is.
If it isnβt in #known-issues and it is a bug then it would need to be reported.
The one where numbers are not reported at all (Such as age answers, class room numbers etc)
I've seen people say "Oh yeah, that's a known bug!" but it's not in the known issues list so...not sure if I should report or not.
Yeah that's known
NELL'S DINER KNOWN ISSUES
- Occasional culling issues when looking through break room doorway
- Obake handprints on double doors when not an Obake or Mimic
- Cannot take photos of handprints on double doors
- Ouija board not responding with numbered responses
- Stuck spot near the garbage bin in the hallway and police car door
I thought those were MAP specific issues, not Nell's Diner as in the release. facepalm
Ignore me. I'm teh dumbs.
Thank you π
I used to think so, but I believe it's very intentional. Mainly to get people comfortable with all the mechanics.
DISCLAIMER: My own opinion and theory below:
Same reason you won't get a Deo before 30.
If custom was too low, you'd have people basically just playing "Friendly ghost" or "Lose nothing" endlessly and never really get to know the game and learn.
And while that's on the line of player agency, it's also robbing said player of the intended game mechanics.
Imo I think 30 would be nice
Since at 30 you get deos
30 is fine too
im phasmoing it
but by 25 / 30 you know almost all mechanics anyway tbh, at least that's what I'd think
I do wish there was some "easier" 2 and 1 evi presets though. Nightmare and Insanity make everything harder, in addition to taking away evidence. It would be nice to have a more gentle difficulty curve into no-evi mode than that
unlocks all maps too
but I think it's wise to encourage the players to play however they want early on as well, like 25-30
i would personally say around 35~ but id say by lvl 20 - 25 you would basically know all the ghosts but i do agree that 50 is too high
see for example I'd love friendly ghost because I enjoy doing detective work, and when I want hunts I could just go for it too
yeah 50 is just too much
-trello
Kinetic Games has a Trello Board! There you can see potential upcoming updates, features, and fixes. You can find the Trello @ https://trello.com/b/9QrnqQ1j/phasmophobia.
Insanity I fully agree, Nightmare is mostly fine - I actually made myself an Insanity custom that makes a bit more sense
maybe we can recommend it or smth
id also even say that waiting for lvl 30 for professional is too high. same with waiting for lvl 20 for intermediate
intermediate is lvl 10
ohhhh
i dont really remember but i think its lvl 10 or 20
def not 20
could be 10 then
professional is 20
nightmare 30, insanity 40, custom 50
so yeah if devs think prof + nightmare is 20-30, custom can def be 25-30
@wispy ore yeah intermediate is lvl 10
yep very early on
I think intermediate is okay
very few changes from amateur
I feel comfy in it as an amateur player
yeah but personally after a while i got really sick of it lol
and speedran it till i got prof

i mean tbh i love playing multiplayer its super fun especially with new players but the chance of me getting into a public lobby is as high as me guessing a ghost during a no evidence no sanity run, which is basically 0
Ah also another question, for some reason, when we play together (me and my friends) our mic just cuts off completely after a while and we can't hear each other, but it goes back to normal once we get to the menu. Is there a way to fix this? It happens very often so it's quite problematic
i mean personally i cannot get the in game mic to work without a vpn for some reason, so id say you guys try again but both of you use a vpn like windscribe and see if it goes away
oh that's very interesting
because since discord is banned in my country, I have to use a vpn to have access
same
then maybe I can try disabling it
every time i get into the multiplayer section of the game, it gives me this error: "Failed to connect to voice server" and in game i cannot hear anyone and no one can hear me
BUT even with a paid vpn i still get that error lol
but for some reason windsctibe fixes it. i have no idea why. so thats why im saying you guys try windscribe and see if it goes away
sure yeah, last option we use dc vc
Anybody else only periodically feel the emotional strength to play?
I periodically feel the need to munch on a glowstick
I don't think that has to do with Phas
Lmaoooooo no way Insym is actually in this server
ofc he is, he's a KG partner
i get the urge to always start a cursed hunt as soon as everyone gets in the house lol
apparently he's been playing phasmo since the beginning too
I started watching him like a week or two ago, but loving him so far
@wispy ore also is it the right time to ask do you sometimes think that a ghost event is a hunt like me lol
for me its sometimes so hard to tell if its actually hunting or eventing π
I think it's easy to confuse it but it makes itself apparent just a second later
yea
Surprisingly enough I'm not afraid of events
until the ghost events literally on top of you and ruptures your ear drums lol
i play on max volume in the game and on my headphone because i must. hear. footsteps!
I mistook a hunt for an event in Nell's (left-side hallway ghost room)
I died a little inside that day
even when an event happens i run lol
Me and my brother play way to much nightmare
When that happens I tweak and instantly throw my smudge at the ghost event, he spends the next 3 min making fun of meπ
i mean i sometimes also accidently burn a smudge when an event happens lol
well, only if the event is the one that the ghost follows you
It's kind of insane how few people who've bought the game have actually gotten ghost guesses right
Sub-20% is crazy
the hell do the rest aka 80% do? π
they must be doing that getting the ghost wrong every time challenge
ignore the percentage, the game did not have Achievements for quite awhile so for years people played the game and they haven't come back
Achievements came out years after game launched on steam
Console ironically has more accurate achievement percentages cause they had them at launch.
Cross platform progression yet?
no, and not planned
Ugh
What Vand said
Is the game still in early access?
yes
Yes
Thatβs tuff
-trello has (most of) the stuff they're planning to get done by 1.0
Kinetic Games has a Trello Board! There you can see potential upcoming updates, features, and fixes. You can find the Trello @ https://trello.com/b/9QrnqQ1j/phasmophobia.
anyone wanna vc
Is there a drop for the phas stream ?
Good question
Nothing has been advertised for that as yet (it at all)
That would certainly make sense, maybe they'll do it down the line since it's going to be a regular thing.
I miss Lavender's streams π
my guess is there will be drops with the winters jest update
Think they meant the newly announced dev streams: #discord-announcements
but yeah wouldn't be surprised from a Winter's Jest drop too
i keep disconnected today
π€
OMG
Does DOTS count for a "photo of the ghost"?
Yes
congrats
Good job!
Oh hell yeah lesgo
thank you π
@wispy ore are your hands shaking lol
I used the music box and when I tried to put it down I accidentally threw it but even tho it was a second it halved my sanity and triggered it, or does it always trigger the hunt?
surprisingly, no... 
maybe because I was expecting it
Dropping a playing music box triggers a hunt
did you find out what the ghost was?
nope, just practicing atm, focusing on hunts only and not type
π€
it was a jinn tho
are you doing it on custom difficulty with losing items on false or are you actually doing it in a normal game lol
LESGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
normal
First wraith found
nice!
the ghost that i died to the most is the wraith π
And with less than 10% sanity lost!
I've died most to onryo iirc
onryo is so hard to find during a hunt lol
Just don't die to them then
Mb
yeah you can't get Onryo during hunts
My wraith was dedicated to turning off my breaker lol, made ruling out UV a snap
I was able to get onryo ONCE during a 14.47x
i mean its probably because i am an idiot and dont ever have crucifixes and candles in my truck lol. just incense and lighter π
yeah you should bring those things
And a bunch of mares?
as i said the only thing i fear in phasmo is dying and loosing 500$ worth of items π
That fear factor passed a long time ago, I wish I could go back tbh
Avoiding dying is a good instinct, but not at the cost of not bringing essential items.
i mean i am also dumb enough to not crouch a majority of the time during hunts near kitchen island lol
well, if you're that risk-averse in dying you should just be hiding from the ghost, not trying to loop it
but i do it to see if its a thay and the other 4 ghosts that dont speed up with LOS lol
Preparation is key with 0 sanity games
Only need to loop around the kitchen counter once or twice to see that sorta thing. Then dip to a hiding spot
Smudges can also differentiate rev/moroi/thaye, even the t3
Gonna try and finish up my 12x games this evening
You usually don't need to actually let any of those ghosts see you though: Thaye, Hantu, Deo, and Rev can all be figured out just by hearing the speeds (and Deo is more obvious ofc)
I've been in the habit of counting smudge timer and seeing how long it stays immobilised
I always die to dang Obake
I want to find a way to have multiple livesplits open, I want a firelight and a smudge timer
okay nevermind maybe i am actually dumb lol
idk why it took that long for me to realize lol
6 finger chicken combo
It's a learning game, really, and there's a lot to learn. π«‘
i am lvl 59... π
i was prestiege 1 lvl 59 like a year ago before i quit and reset my profile lol
that's fine
Hey
πͺ€
π§
π
can the ghost see us when we're behind it?
360 vision
Yes, it has a 360 degree vision and can basically see you from any distance
How can a ghost hide orb?!?
(Normal difficulty, should have all three evidence available)
in 0-2ev games when it's not a Mimic
probably in a wall or something
My Hantu had a secret orb and now I'm pissed I lost a contract because of it
so is the diner map any fun i havenβt loaded up phas since the halloween event ngl
Yes
type shi
where is the cheat sheet
Pinned in #fan-creations
Christmas update is when
Donβt know
Hey
Heheheheheheeeeeeee
Thanks for the last second writing right in front of my vidcam, moroi!
(Third evidence)
I'm feeling way more confident now!
Although I still have some wicked anxiety when I'm looking for the stupid bone and I know my prep time is running out 
When is phas Christmas update
They havenβt announced a date.
Damn
Halloween was only announced 2 days before it dropped
I am now not confident on the Tuesday release
Turn the krampus trophy into a meatball
π
We will make it it's own meme item lol.
Crimson meatball just has a better sound than winter meatball or meatball jest
I just got jumpscared so hard I have the clip
Have a quick question for folks. I looked in the known issue area, and I see others saying they are missing troph[es, but not my exact situation.
I just reset my save to start over, and I am now missing my Halloween 22 trophy, or whatever the Pumpkin one was.
I have a vid showing it in the case before I hit reset, to prove I had it from my stream earlier, just curious if anyone knows.
I did get out of game and come back in, still missing. I have not done a file check yet.
Thanks
Yeah those are original trophies aren't tied to unity save so you delete your original save it is gone
To correct save file or badge issues, send a DM to @violet nova when you are available to have your issue resolved with a staff member. Instructions on what to provide will be given in the ticket.
All the other trophies are there, only thing you lose when you reset is money, gear, prestige badges and bones and cursed items in cases. Everything else you keep. This is my second time resetting, and my 3rd time to Prestige 20
I think my message was as clear as I can make it
except your wrong
Yes the other stuff is there the original trophy is not tied in the same
No I'm right the original trophy like I just said is not tied into the same save
Really? I wonder why they made the change with all the other original trophies then
The unity server badges and trophies started after that they had to change everything
and not the Pumpkin one
But you see the bot message after my message you can try contacting them
Stone is correct
The Halloween trophy was added before they started saving everything in the cloud
Hmm, sorry for the wrong then, thought it was weird since everything else was fine, even the trophy that came out 2 months after the Halloween one
my bad
You're good. I understand the confusion
Hii
I'm not scared anymore yayyy
A random hunt happened and I got stuck to the table and died but I did loop it around nicely
I am still terrified but breaker flips are more of an inconvenience to me now (and easy UV evidence!)

How long should breaker be off for a reliable Hantu test?
The ghost room was well below freezing (It was the only room the ghost was active in), I turned off the breaker but the ghost still seemed normal speed
I assumed it was a Jinn because it wasn't hunting frequently like the Demon
But I ended up guessing incorrectly. It was between a Demon, Jinn and Hantu. I chose Jinn but it ended up being a Hantu.
I think it's interesting that mostly everybody got the free pfp border that fits them best (I LOVE PLANTS YES YES THANK YOU)
What difficulty are you playing?
Nightmare. I've just started playing Nightmare to try to get better at determining what the ghost is based off behaviors and hunts.
You should try to identify/rule out hantu by the breath in the hunt
I... actually didn't think about that
Its the best, most consistent test
I personally like the puzzle of having the potential for 3evi but also having quirks to help educated guesses if I just cannot get the third evidence
But how well will I be able to see in the dark? I'm thinking about the Flashlight flickering and allat
Firelights, dots, filters. Even in the complete dark the breath should still be visible
(Actually I want to know if this is valid or frowned upon)
I mean, playing with 3evi is still fun, I just want to learn to get better at making accurate guesses via hunts or behaviors
Theres no wrong way to play besides cheats/hacks
Do u have good firelights? This helps me a lot if im trying to run away from the ghost, if u are talking about the breath tho it is very visible in the dark
Not sure how good it's considered, but I got all tier 2 items
Plus tier 3 Flashlight, if that helps
Level 52, if that makes any difference in judgment
Prison was not my ideal start today
Yeah Bring a couple firelights for when the breaker is off and set them in areas u think u will be hunted in or around a spot u can loop
Tier 1 firelight not even worth it but tier 2 is good
They donβt blow out the fire during a hunt
Alternatively, loop the hantu with breaker on and lights on. It wont speed up in los
Yes they can
Ok nvm
Ok
Cuz I'm pretty sure not every single ghost does but yes they still can
What tier do u have
Tier three
Every ghost can blow out candles.
Shade can not do it if it is in the same room as you.
So....
Assuming I get the same scenario:
Demon = normal speed the entire time (minus LOS)
Jinn = fast speed until it gets close
Hantu = never change speed?
Unless the room gets colder or hotter for Hantu
We have a couple of places to learn about ghosts and abilities.
First we have #1254568921110024254 for ghost info and more!
Also
Check out the cheat sheet to help learn ghost info, speeds, map info and more! Click this part of the message!
Demon can be a lil fast at times but usually spawn on u, a rev is slow when it don't see u but if it does than it runs very fast, a jinn is correct lol
But theyre still slow usually but not slow slow
I canβt speak for everyone but I use firelights constantly because it helps me identify ghosts while theyβre hunting
When I do no evidence runs yes very helpful I do, salt, Firelight, smudge, n sum times night vision depends on location tho
Yea also I donβt wanna turn brightness up all the way cuz of the immersion factor
The huntless heroooooo
I have identified four ghosts total without hunts
How come u use night vision is it worth it?
what the heeeck
why does it say my most played map is sunny meadows restricted even though I never played it
(I'm level 14)
I use it in meadows
Sleep gaming
A bug, any map you play on Multiplayer, it counts as Restricted for some reason
But turn it off when it hunts
Wait no I have five huntless ghosts! Woooo!
ohhh interesting
πΏ
Cell block ghost, lovely
Typically, what does dirty water mean?
Water that is dirty
nothing in particular
Ty
Ohhhh ποΈ
Its a bug, thats p much everyones right now
I love dirty water
Unless you play solo β
Are there any specific ghosts that are more-of known to break lightbulbs or is that random for all
Any can do it, Mares are more likely to
Just don't bet the house and automatically guess Mare
Yeah, consider it a VERY soft tell for Mare
Understood
is reading the t2 thermo the same as reading the t1 thermo? (finding ghost room/freezing)
Nope
t2 is far better at reading accurate temps immediately
easier, I'd say, how do you mean
nevermind i might be tripping
T1-2 have the same +3C variation, but T1 moves super slow, T2 updates every couple seconds
umm how does t1 crucifix work? I placed it on the ground but the ghost still hunted me 
all crucis have a range. If the ghost attempts to hunt inside that range it burns the cruci instead of hunting.
you can see the range if you place (not drop) it on the ground. But in terms of effectiveness it doesn't matter which you do.
that's interesting... because I indeed didn't drop it and placed it (like saw the crucifix symbol on the ground, so def placed it) and I was standing right on top of it but it still killed me
Cursed hunt (from cursed object), fast twin, or it was just outside the range
map was riverwood or smth btw, right next to the table
By that wording it sounds like you expected the crucifix to save you from death if the ghost is already hunting it will not stop it from killing you
ohhhh the could be, because I did use a cursed object, but survived the first hunt, this one was just normal sanity dropped one, then the ghost turned out to be twins so maybe it was the fast one indeed
Ghosts are constantly roaming they can easily walk out of the range of the crucifix and start a hunt The only way to be protected in a hunt is to wish to leave with the monkey paw or for five seconds with a incense
The deal with Twins is that it's a single ghost, but it can spawn to hunt from the location of its last ranged ability, when it does this, it only checks for cruci where the ghost physically is, so it can appear on top of a cruci to hunt as fast twin.
I see... sooo the hunt needs to exactly happen inside the crucifix, if it happened outside the range, it will kill me always right?
yep
idk about "always", but crucis have no effect when a hunt has already started.
Crucifixes are best when used to block the ghost from blocking your escape such as you can put them in the doorways or outside the doorways so if the ghost is roaming outside the room you don't get trapped inside a room with no way to hide
I placed it before the hunt but maybe that's why it didn't work
Again inside the hunt does not matter crucifix does not help
If your ghost was actually Twins, I'm gonna say it was a fast/ranged twin issue
wthhhhhh
You can't hold it up and yell be gone demon you can't throw it at them when it's hunting already you're dead If you try that

what happened exactly was, I placed the crucifix down, waited for the ghost to hunt me so I could take a picture of the burnt crucifix, yelled out slurs and names, and like 5-10 mins later it hunted and like two seconds later it killed me, basically it
maybe it was too angry
there is no "anger" mechanic in the game, and yelling at the ghost doesn't make it hunt
that'll happen
π
closest thing is talking in the same room as a Yokai raises its hunt threshold from 50% to 80%
oh jesus that's quite a lot
yeah they can be nasty
and not even the spirit box yeah? just normal talking
Yeah either one
gotta look out for it then
That's one of the reasons I wish the Deo breathing in Spirit Box was on Yokai. It'd be so cool to get that, know it was a Yokai that you're right on top of, and that you just gave it an 80% hunt threshold.
yoo any1 wanna play phasmo?
Lesgoooooooooooooooo finally my quiet-with-me-in-the-room ghost was a shade
Yet another win for the huntless wonder
2 raijus in a row lol
I had a moroi act like a shade, then twins
are you being mimic'd
anyone playing on console noticing that the virtual cursor speed setting doesnt apply?
Nope it was a Maroi I thought it was a mimic but it wasnβt
If you change it in game during an investigation it wonβt work you have to return to lobby for it to work
yeah idk ive tried everything i can think of, changing it in a hunt, back at lobby, it just keeps resetting to 6.0
Did you press the apply button?
yes, i hot apply and i reopen it to check cursor still moving at default speed and its reset itself back to 6.0
Rng is many things. There are absolutes though to base things off of.
Literally 
If your cursor settings (or player colors) are not saving in the game after clicking APPLY - and you have the βoptimize game automaticallyβ option in NVIDIA turned off - load into a contract and adjust them there. Please also make sure to report this issue in #bug-reports - thank you!
If you're on console, the Nvidia part wouldn't apply
I think im gonna xp grind for the sole reason of reaching 2k hours
save the grind for event lol
Does anyone know if yelling curses and the ghosts name makes it mad on ps5 version?
grinding with the jingle bell footsteps is π
not on any version
Dont even remind me..
You sit in darkness until you hit the correct sanity for that type of ghost you have or you use a cursed item
Use a cursed object to start a cursed hunt. Stay in the dark until your sanity is below 50%
So I canβt just yell absurdities at the ghost?
I could have sworn I heard something about you can do that
no.
Unless itβs a yokai
Only yokai is affected at all by voice to raise its rate to 80% thats it
Thatβs what it was
and that still dont mean it WILL hunt
Can you ask how many pickles question on ps5?
You don't it's not a question it just hears how many on system voice from Windows and gets confused
Itβs reluctant on responding to the spirit box every time I get that ghost. Itβs really annoying I had to just end up using burnt cruci audio for media
So what questions can you ask the Luigi board?
Set the Voice recognization to text pick up the Ouija board and look at the different questions that's what you can ask pretty much. there's no special questions about pickles.

Time to get reminded
:(
if you talk while in a hiding spot without speaking through the global stuff, will the ghost still end you?
You don't need to speak with global chat, no, it can still attract the ghost if you press the button.
Got it
I was stupid enough to speak while a Shade was right outside π€£
Ask it what type of ghost it is
Dude I havenβt played in like 5 months
Why am I hearing a baby
And whatβs with the wierd media tab
Free photo/video money
You may want to read some patch notes
The dam baby is laughing
Also why does chat get active the moment I look away from it
Shade chat π
This game is actually scary now

How do you upload a Steam Recording to #videos ?
I'd like to get some opinions on the hunt footage
Does anyone know why when i want to play phasmo vr the screen stays double whatever i do
Backrooms X Phasmophobia doesn't make sense. Phasmophobia all about Ghosts but how Backrooms been part of it. There's legitly no Ghosts and Demons there just entities.
It would make more sense if it's The Ring since The Ring has an Onryo or The Nun that she legitly a Demon.
Has the holiday event started yet?
Not yet, no
In [here](#videos message) I posted a bit of footage of the latest Hunt, can anyone help me determine what it is? I'm thinking of maybe going in with a smudge and see if I can see any difference

Legitly how to ruin Phasmophobia Game. Let's collab Backrooms.
It just seems to be a steam bundle, where are you seeing a full collab?
From Feed
"Two scares are better than one.
We've partnered with wearesecretmode
on the #Phasmophobia X Escape the Backrooms Steam bundle."
So they made their own backrooms game?
I legitly thought it would actually be Backroom map in Phasmophobia
Oh okay
What ghost has their ability that they wonβt change rooms even if the game settings they could
Goryo
Im doing apoc 3 and the ghost hasnβt changed rooms at all yet
Either the wings room or downstairs
ah ok, then ok
the GOAT
Checked the right wing. Nothing going downstairs now
Itβs either the left side or I am loosing my mind
Oh hell no
That's annoying af to find on 0evi
(I get it if you're joking, btw)
Is bro ragebating atp?
nop
Goryo is indeed my favourite ghost
and the easiest for me to find on 0ev
πΌ i put all my stats into ID-ing a goryo
do i have to do all the optional objectives too for a perfect game?
I'm on Nightmare rn
The ghost is a toss-up between Wraith, Oni and Raiju
That's pretty easy, right?
all pretty easy ghosts afaik
Nvm, toss-up between Oni and Raiju
Just eliminated Wraith - it stepped in salt
I think I'll just set up a bunch of electronics in ghost room
That should let me know if it's a Raiju or an Oni when it hunts, right?
u could either do speed near electronics or a blink test
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
does apoc 1 only have emf, spitirbox, book, dots, cameram thermo, uv as equipment
thats just the default loadout u get
add ur own stuff too
Found the ghost room
Does Raiju has LOS speed?
What would be the most reliable test, though? Speed near electronics or blinks?
I have tier 2 equipments, they have good range, right?
it can, but if u place elctronics near it when it hunts, it'll uses its ability and speed up immediately, so it'll sound faster than a normal ghost
I feel pretty confident looping but I don't want to get violated for the 100th time this week
raiju doesnt care what tier of equipment u have, it all effects it the same
So should I place equipment in ghost room? Or just outside? What would be better?
u can place some in and out of the room or
place some in the room and none outside and listen if it slows down when it goes away from its room
Okay, based off temps, it seems to still be in the room I found it in
I'll try to use electronics test

Kinetic Games has a Trello Board! There you can see potential upcoming updates, features, and fixes. You can find the Trello @ https://trello.com/b/9QrnqQ1j/phasmophobia.
I don't feel like looping too much
Ok. Imma walk my dog Iβm gonna leave my game running Iβll check back if the room is the same place if so it is a goryo
Then the most annoying part is to get the objectives without getting butchered
Luckily I have:
- Video of ghost
- Pic of emf
- Blow out firelight
Then take a pic of ghost for apox but itβs so annoyingly hard to get it while itβs hunting
Just tested, it didn't seem to speed up
I think I'm dealing with an Oni here
Should I try looping it around the counter or something to check for blinks to make sure?
I'll say Oni
And I was correct
wanna duo? maybe we could get more people?

crack the glowstick ontop of a donut

whar
To get the Asylum Badge, does Friendly Ghost / Lose Items and Consumables Off count?
I was at 3, did another game and got the ghost right, now i'm at 3
or is this a bug?
Reload your lobby and check
Ah
It worked.
Fastest game I got once was 0 Seconds, Randomly guessed polti from truck, got it right
luck
1 in 24 chance
I can never get the ghost right,I got it right once and it was a hantu but itβs likeβ¦.everytime,the ghost refuses to give me any evidence no matter what ghost it is,it refuses to interact with any of the items I leave for it no matter where I place them,or no matter what other interactable items i put in the room,i canβt stay in the room either cause no matter how many i place the crucifixβs donβt seem to work even though I know the ghost is in range,only ghost I ever got right was hantu,anyone got advice?because this is seriously starting to upset me and ruin the fun.
:nevertellmetheodds:
Praying this sundays weekly is my last for re-doing completionist. Ugggh
Bit of a weird question but does anyone know if the game will ever get βrealisticβ ghost models instead of like zombies with bats ect?
What difficulty are you running?
There is a plan to change the ghost models, yes
Horror 2.0 next year
Are the cursed items bugged right now? Ouija board wonβt work for age check, monkey paw wish to see the ghost had the ghost do cursed hunt from somewhere else but did not curse me.
@willow rain intermediate,and yes I know where the ghost room is,usually by activity rates and tempature.
I hope it's just adding new ones, the old ones are fine lol
Horror 2.0 was said that they will likely get to changing ghost models and animations. So if ever it will be around then. Especially because a big goal of the devs is to remove all or most paid unity assets with the devs own custom ones.
Thats just hear-say of the devs. So grain of salt.
Thatβs perfect, I want to develop for them but i canβt texture so idk
I recommend getting more practice in amateur for a while, standing in as much light as possible, and run towards any noise, thrown objects, and apparitions with all of the relevant tools (particularly EMF and SBox)
But im extremely good with 3D modelling
also the ghost events will be more spooky and won't just be during a ghost event. It will be all the time (kinda)
From what I've heard the ghosts will stare at you from behind a wall or something
I feel like they should go for a more βrealisticβ approach like this, And make it so you can do actual investigations n stuff that would be pretty cool
@willow rain i did that,I always do,it still never works,and I canβt stand in the light on anything other than amateur cause half the time on intermediate or higher,the breaker is just missing from tangle wood from its usual place.
You can't get spirit box in the light though, so be aware of that!
There are only two breaker spawns on Tanglewood, in the basement and in the garage
@willow rain Iβll have to check the garage next time then for it,cause I thought that was weird that it wasnβt in the basement on tangle wood.
They should make you "be" the ghost
You get to choose when to do a ghost event, when to hunt (ofc with ghost limits like sanity and such) while other people are investigating for you)
Theres only two breaker spawns on tanglewood.
Yeahh that would be awesome, Like a seperate game mode or something
Make a hard left entering the garage and you'll see the panel! ^v^
They need a suggestions bit in the server
DBDphobia
They used to but they aren't taking suggestions.
@willow rain for example,likeβ¦I had a obake a few moments ago and I found the ghost room,so I had all my stuff that I check for first,the video camera,thermometer,and emf,wasnβt getting anything for 15 minutes,so I figured why not grab some stuff from the truck real quick,I went back,grabbed salt and a crucifix and a uv light,placed the crucifix down and stayed close to it just in case the ghost decided to be on top of me when it hunted,I placed down salt and waited for 10 minutes,it started the hunt on top of me and then I was dead,there were no other signs,stuff like this happens to me everytime and the tier 1 equipment depending on what gear it is does not help lmaoππ
Ah thatβs a shame, Do you know anything about getting into the development team? Iβm good at blender but not so much texturing.
You can check their website which has a careers page
Oh thatβs perfect, Thank you so much for your help
Thank youu!
Another tip, patience! Leave the vidcam in the ghost room facing a DOTS'd area, and then camp out in the van for a while!
You should get some bonus videos for money, a chance to get ghost orb, and DOTS!
And fun fact, the vidcam itself being thrown counts as a video!
There is ALOT of mechanics and information to learn in phasmo.
My suggestion if you are newer is to simply enjoy the game and be open to learning through failing. Maybe bring a friend that you can communicate information to learn.
If you have been playing a while and dont feel you are still learning, playing with someone who knows a little and can nudge you in the right direction for mechanics WITHOUT heavy handed taking over doing things for you might be good..
But if your only goal is to immediately know everything and not worry about fun.. best of luck.
@willow rain i do that most of the time but the issue is it refuses to ever give me more than 2 evidence,I even waited an hour for it to do something and it didnβt.
@willow rain like why they have to be so weird?π
Ahhh, then it's time to learn ghost quirks and behaviors to further narrow down ghosts! For example, Mares will never turn on lights!
Imo I think Training should bring you another menu where you can take the current Tutorial (Training), Advanced Tutorial (Like blinks and forced evidence) and then finally Practice (Lose items and consumables off, reg games (you cannot change games you can only choose current difficulties (including challenge) but you don't lose anything and you don't gain)
Tier 1 items have a smaller range so itβs harder to get evidence. Using a motion sensor is useful for things like spirit box. Use the spirit box on top of motion sensor when it goes off. And dots try to put both dots down to cover as much of the room as possible.

This is a game designed to learn through trial and failing. Thats why it goes from a horror game for new people to a puzzle solving gave for vets.
Turn the light off in the room so it interacts more and also easier to see dots if lights are off. But then stay out of the room in a lit room
Iβll have to try that,but yeah,itβs just getting upsetting cause I canβt get better gear till I level up,but I canβt level up to higher tiers if I donβt really get the ghost right.
Hantu still was my favorite hunt though,gave me all the evidence,wasnβt terribly aggressive either.
Now every other ghost got a vengeance lmaoππ
Try to use candles to force emf but be careful that onryo will hunt if it blows out candle 3 times
Remember you cant fail in this game so long as you learn something new.
Donβt have candles or even a lighter,only level 10 rn.π
Learning is the progression. Not the items.
Then bring throwable items from other rooms and pile it up in the ghost room. Leave an emf turned ON next to it. It will help isolate all activities to that pile so easier to get emf
this is good outlook
tbh this game is just social activity for me and my friends, like going out to bar and hanging out
Iβll have to try it. : D
Also any sound you hear, like door movement, knock on the window, photo frame falling, take the emf and spirit box to it because ghost is most likely nearby!
This as well. IMO I MISS knowing NOTHING in this game and doing everything wrong but trying so hard while being scared with friends.
That was THE best part of the experience.
How do you tell if itβs emf 5 on the tier 1?I know how it looks on higher tiers but not on the first tier,so Iβve always been confused on that.
the needles goes to the edge of the screen
like it trying to break out
The needle will jump into the red box zone for emf 5 with no hesitation. If its barely before it its just 4
Does it matter how long or no?
No

Same lol. I miss being scared in the game and refusing to go inside the map. Now I just sit in the ghost room going βgimme a sign. you suck ghostβ 
EMF readers pickup activity for 20 seconds total per activity.
I used to cry if I had to do spirit box. By the time I had the courage to do it at all I still needed my friend or my BF outside the door for me
I think I might just do some runs for now with just base equipment,see what I get from the ghost,i donβt usually learn anything from doing that other than maybe new hiding spots or escape methods but thatβs fine,I just know that with hantu I talked a lot more and it helped it be more active.
Starting to wonder if me being constantly silent is what causing all this lmao
Now I just walk in, say "it smells like bish in here" circle bish in the journal and leave.
Saaaaame. And when its time for ghost hunt, I used to just throw the smudge at my friend and go βgood luckβ and run out of the house 
Lmaooo
I almost got the ghost right but it refuses to give me spirit box no matter what I did,so I likely wasnβt close enough T unfortunately but I thought βitβs fine,I didnβt die so I wonβt lose anythingβ and it proceeded to have spirit box as itβs evidence,the final thing I would of needed,I asked questions for 15 minutes in different areas in that house and nothing man,i just sat there like:
Has anyone heard of using an egg in Nells Diner and cracking it in the ghost room and it'll be black to know you have the right ghost room?
thuis from TT? sounds like it but all eggs are black in the dark winks and lol
I'm serious, I mean it turns moldy when it cracks in the ghost room. I'd wonder to test it if the room changes if that same room the egg is normal
Whatβs the science behind it ?
I just saw a reel of someone throwing an egg in any random room it's normal colored, but throwing it in the ghost room, it's black
I know itβs a silly question but this has happened to me, but is the game picking up your mic?
reads like bullshit but i dont play for cheats / lazy to test and still like a TT / YT click bait cause numbers mean something to people shrugs have fun!
@chilly jacinth not silly at all,no my mic is working just fine,I just think I donβt talk enough so it doesnβt really know where I am
@violet nova Was having an issue getting my cusour to display and restarted my game and laptop and now my level and prestige reset but I still have my steam achievements..
Are you asking the right questions? Try using the question selector in text mode instead of voice?
@chilly jacinth yes,it just has a very short rangeπ
They should make it so u can leave milk and cookies and the ghost will eat and drink it when ur not looking. Then it will reward u with a present under the Christmas tree π
You have to dm the bot.
Drinking milk and cookies will leave emf 4
unique UV on the glass
We should be getting krampus soon! I forgot!! :0

"thats a thaye all day" he said as he died to the thaye
Is it true that Yureiβs can NOT move doors? Like ghosts will touch them and sometimes close them. But can they only close doors?
- All ghosts can turn the breakers on except for the Hantu
- All ghosts can turn breakers off except for the Jinn (expection overloading the breaker with too many lights)
- All ghosts can turn lights on except for the Mare
- All ghosts can turn lights off
- All ghosts can fully close/open a door. The Yurei MUST do this they can not do a partial.
I always thought they could move doors aside from fully close/open doors, sorry didnβt know. A random content creator yelled at me bc I didnβt know even tho Iβve been playing since 2021, I still learn things to this day π€£π π₯²
There was a change to help identify or rather rule out the Yurei in a not too long ago update
With the door changes.
Ohh okay, mb, now I know!
Bro I need some friends
Has anyone else had a bad experience trying to work with Kinetic Games Support? I keep getting email reply's that look like its written by chat gpt, dont remember any previous replies and they even hallucinated game settings that do not exist (which was actually pretty funny).
Ugh. Thatβs frustrating. What is your game doing?
Yureis must always fully open/close doors, but they can still choose to slam it or move them gently.
The ability also extends to other things like the fireplace doors or specific cabinets (ex: Point Hope).
The lighting is broken in VR. has been for a few years and im pretty sure thats just how the game is in vr now. just way to dark, The new dinner map even has a interesting bug where the moon itself reflects off certain surfaces inside the freezer. so ironicly that makes it easy to see.
Thatβs so weird
#screenshots message I posted a screenshot comparing vr and non vr on that map
oh that embeded huh
lol
Yeah the support team is a joke, they donβt even know what theyβre talking about, generic tech support which just copy paste replies thay have no context to the problems I was having, ive just given up since the devs seem to just not care about any actual reports
It really sucks cause I wanna play the game, it was so fun early on
I tried telling support that im pretty sure this was a bug and id like to report it but they gave a odd response telling me I was already talking to the right team
There. Embeds done. But I remember seeing that once. I donβt know much about VR. Have you reported it as a bug possibly? I assume youβve tried all the different settings.
Ugh
Vr has been janky for a long time
I would post screenshots of some of the email replies but that might not be a relevant topic for that channel.
Yeah. I wish I knew more about VR to help.
I worked a similar email it support job so I know how it can be on the other end trying to give support. but in this case I feel like im talking to someone whos just copy pasting and not reading anything I send.
Can dead people see DOTS?
Having no clear communication for glitches or bugs like this kinda leaves a bad look imo, I know the game is pretty big in the indie space, but if games like CoD, Arc Raiders or Battlefield can help with IT issues, it just makes this team seem bad
No
last time I played I recall seeing them dead. but I was in vr.
oh huh.
It shouldnβt be impossible to get help with a game breaking issue lol
actually should mention when you die in vr the fog actually makes it so you can see around the map which is ironic.
Can The Twins kill people at the exact same time?
Me and my teammate died to The Twins at the exact same time.
can in nightmare mode
Was it VR that is way too bright?
I wish, thats a issue with playstations vr. The issue I have is there is no light. its like playing with a blindfold unless you turn all the room lights on or have a level 3 flashlight and even then its just a beam of light I feel.
Oh I think I know what to compare it to.
So VR is too dark and itβs PC VR.
You remember how the lighting worked when the new item system was implemented? before eye adaptation was added and stuff?
Mhm
VR mode is still using that version of the light system
Kinetic Games has a Trello Board! There you can see potential upcoming updates, features, and fixes. You can find the Trello @ https://trello.com/b/9QrnqQ1j/phasmophobia.
Nightmare only? Or Nightmare or higher?
Oh interesting I wonder when that will be
Still shouldnβt be to the point where someone can barely play or see at all
Q1 or 2 2026 I'd imagine
Some of the newer maps tend to be darker than unity based maps too, basically because of how the objects aren't reflective
I just find it odd theres essentially 3 different light systems. Desktop, pc VR and Ps Vr. And I feel like VR mode was just kinda forgoten since it has had this issue for years.
All maps are Iike this, I can confirm as well on PCVR
oh all the old maps have this issue. even the camp map that should have moonlight
Itβs just a black screen lol
Can't say I've had that experience with pc vr @lime token how about you?
aha I do see Eye Adaption VR Support under internal testing. July 16 2025. So maybe it is being worked on.
Either way, lighting is getting changes at some stage
Yeah. I think it is. Just sucks.
If you're playing Nightmare/Insanity/Custom mode then the ghost can kill multiple people at once, but they have to be grouped together.
Are you on about the brightness of pcvr? If so its quite dark compared to the desktop
Yeah wish the support team would have pointed out that info in the Trello but I dont think they even know about it lol. Glad I came here and asked then.
Hey! I need help getting apoc 3, can i screenshare my game and someone guide me? 
Oh, ok!
Yeah, vr is somewhat darker, can't say it's a black screen, but there are lighting issues
Would you happen to have any screenshots of what the game looks like for you in vr? Im interested to see the difference.
Ngl, after the main dev team expanded to needing community managers and such, communication between devs & community feels a lot more one sided.
Yeah defo not a black screen
I like your status
thanks.
Currently in bed, I frankly don't play vr much, so I'm going off if my own memory
ah, I havent seen much vr gameplay or screenshots that are recent. other then a few friends who have the same issue. seems like most people play in regular desktop mode.
Anyways thanks for the help all. Im just happy to know its being worked on internally, will just wait on that before going back to vr.
Np
cannot find the bone in willow ?
anyone know where any sneaky spots it can spawn are
I GOT A SECOND BLOODY BLOOD MOON WHEN TRYING TO DO THE APOC III THIS GAME HATES ME
Behind the chairs in the bedrooms
okay will check ty
They've had a pretty consistent schedule of 2-3 months between updates/maps recently. I've been following the trello pretty closely, and my guess is that we'll get the reworked Tanglewood sometime around early February and then the Unity 6/Player Character Overhaul update around May. Then Horror 2.0 probably in October, with another house rework in between
Give it a go. Might surprise yourself
Wait Reworked Tangle?
nope :(
Yeah theyβre intending to rework tanglewood
Might be another Myling (I have had like 5 Mylings today out of the 15 or so runs Ive did so far)
yup, Tangle is getting a rework early next year. They said it's the next update after Winter's Jest (don't worry it'll be a much lighter rework than the farmhouses)
I would imagine stuff thats under "Internal testing" would come sooner then a map rework and unity overhaul?
Uhhh have you checked bathrooms near the toilets? Laundry room? In between the shit in the garage and basement?
Do you have a t3 video cam?
Wtf
yes
yep
Uhhhh shit. Dining room?
I wish my luck would go to Deogens.
Unrelated from the unplayable vr issue thing, have they said when horror 2.0 is happening? I feel like theyve been saying itβs coming soon for the past few years lol
Look behind the wall to your right when you walk into the garage, then check IN the wall by the entrance door
The Unity 6 upgrade has been sitting in "internal testing" since April, cause I've heard that upgrading the engine of your game takes a ton of man hours
Hold up Iβm struggling to picture willow right now. Thatβs the one where when you walk in itβs that massive living room then you got the double french doors to the kitchen and dining area right?
I wish the game was scary again, and not Nancy drew with ghosts lol
(No offense to anyone that finds it scary currently)
Oh yeah and I'm pretty sure CJ said in a recent insym stream that unity 6 would come with the player character overhaul
Nancy Drew would personally curbstomp the ghosts out of the house.
I'm on PC with a friend and having some issues. Is anyone else having problems?
Here is what I'm seeing:
Blurry Text
Cameras(video and stillframe) not picking up media evidence
incense not working (for deterent or objective)
and probably some more I haven't noticed.
I'm not really looking for a fix, just trying to see if it's just us.
Vr or desktop?
The game still gets a startle out of me sometimes
desktop
Rev or Moroi give me a mini heart attack when Im ready to loop the ghost
Morois piss me off
ok thank you ill check
The fucking teddy bears also startle me all the time
The giggle?
okay dont think that was it
blurry text is that eye adaptation thing i believe or that other..hell if i can remember it's term in settings.
camera that's random and depending what you trying to picture.
incense has been hit or miss again, depending what the obj is or how close you are to ghost for deterent.
Yeah π
maybe im peeking through the wrong wall though>
eye adaptation is off, first thing I checked.
That bone has got to be whatever that stupid skinny ass bone is. I can almost never find it
be the other thing? I can't look it up but i know that the fix area has the answer / name of it. Occulation? hell i can't remember....
probably! report says it was in the kitchen ????
i asure you we both LOOKED.
Probably right near the damn island hidden by the shadow
Try turning off chroma aberration. I donβt know. if itβll help but you can try. Or turning up text resolution
I nearly always miss bones when theyβre near the island and hidden by the shadow tbf
Mezzo
i think i say occulation meaning aberration every damn time i try to help this question and i didn't wanna tag Mezzo knowing full well she knew what i was trying to say lol (just like every other time)
Hi
Iβll give it a whirl. Rn Iβm just restarting my entire desktop cause some other programs were bugging out too.
Hello
The cool thing about doing apoc 3 is that the bone location for Sunny Meadows is bugged rn I think
yes
And it always spawns just outside the chapel
outside the male wing to be technical π
Oh yeah that shit spawns in the same location
Please dont fix it π
I lucked out on my 7th try and had a raiju, thank goodness about the bone
Facts
My only trouble is that Im still just fucking up getting the ghost photo
I clear out all the other objectives, figure out the ghost, then just cant get that ghost photo
By text resolution do you mean texture resolution? If not where is it?
You wanted a challenge? You got it 
yeah the photo is tough, if you have a timer, time from the start of the hunt and just run at the ghost with 5 sec remaining
Yes. Texture resolution
Itβs maxed out and aberrations is off. No luck
Yeahh I know the set up and all I just can't time getting it properly yknow?
Like taking the photo while its blinking in
I thought you got a picture regardless of blink
I've never missed a ghost photo from the right distance
