They announced technical issues in general chat
so summoning circle thing
i lit 4 candles then returned to van got my sanity to 100 and when i lit the final candle ghost broke free instantly instead standing still for 3s as it usually does, random glitch or i did something wrong?
I had that happen yesterday with a jinn. Got sanity up, lit the candles and ghost immediately hunted and killed me
sounds like a glitch to me unless the chance of ghost not breaking free is random
ik placing a t3 cruci guarantees that but it also stops the hunt which is bad when media hunting
The only #known-issues is that the ghost straight up won't appear sometimes
If you were using T1-2 sanity meds, they take a a bit to take effect. The only "normal" explanation I can think of is your sanity was still in hunting range at some point in the house, the ghost started hunting, and you summoned the hunting ghost to the circle.
Failing that, it does sound screwy.
that would explain for me since I currently just on T2 and took a bunch beforehand then headed inside. Shouldve waited to make sure
Anyone else having server issues at this time?
is there a big difference if i play with someone on NA serves (im on EU)
Latency, mostly
Yeah
Crossplay issues again
Yup :/
Unable to join/have anyone join
It should be fine. I did that yesterday and we didnt have much issues
But it may also depend on where in NA
Yeah
Are servers down again?
I think so… can’t join my friends


Yeah me and my friends are having troubles with cross play but we on the same console
Are there still server issues?
Yes
We don’t know that for sure yet. A few people can be coincidental. Usually chat is flying with people having the issue.
If the servers are having issues.
what ghost can you predict with parabolic mic?
Like identify?
yea
-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.
Pretty much anything that's off-speed. Though Obambo vs Twins is now tricky
my friend and i have been in the dark the same amount of time but i have 15% less sanity, who does that?
no ghost events
Yurei is the first that comes to mind, if you got hit w/ the ability and your friend didn't
we got orbs as well so thats possible
can the mimic copy other ghosts special abilities like deogen's spirit box response?
This bot has sent this message 3073 times
Hey @analog widget's not a bot
Yes! so long as it's part of evidence it already has (UV, Spirit Box)
I wonder how many times those were me
okay thank yuo
699
nah I think its closer to 420
Van how many days till you think the road map will release
24
Personally I think it'll be within the next few weeks
I kinda just picked a number, but that would be Monday, February 9, which was almost exactly when we got the 2025 one
I just think since they are recapping the latest dev preview then that means they are preparing us for the roadmap
did you know that 6 *9 + 6 + 9 = 69?
Bit of a weird question but is anyone else experiencing inverted hearing throughout their games? My headphones are on correctly, had a ghost hunt from the Tanglewood Garage and the audio came from my right earmuff rather than my left (was facing towards the living room in the kitchen)
does anyone know the record for beating sunny meadow's on insanity mode?
Learned something new today; UV Fingerprints, UV footsteps, and Obake Handprint count towards 3 unique photos within a round, and allow perfect investigation bonus
but they do not count to three unique UV photos regarding the weekly challenge
weekly task or contract objective?
weekly task (10 unique UV photos)
oh that's not as bad
I was at 7/10, so when my first evidence was an obake handprint I thought nice, I'd clear it in one match
but after the match I had 9/10 on the unique UV photos
still sounds reportable
so my first thought was if I messed up on the match itself, but checking the review I had the perfect investigation bonus, so the match itself was fine with the 3 UV photos
on the one hand, it's just a weekly, and one more match, it's not exactly gamebreaking or anything
hello everyone
hello [???]pee'p
if you had a perfect bonus, you'd have had 5 unique photos, not 3
yea
but I mean that if any of the three UV photos weren't unique, I wouldn't have had the bonus
Obake handprint, footprints, and a normal handprint
I just had a tier 3 braintfart
I got my third evidence and thought "wait, I haven't checked DOTS, yet"
and I honest to goodness spend almost 5 minutes checking DOTS before I realised I already had 3 evidences
Can anyone help me level up
Im so broke in the game and I'm trying to leave the camp woodwind method
is there again server problems ? (PS5)
Rodniki wanna play
Woah thats crazy!!
Is there server issues again? Can't seem to join my friend on ps5
Haven’t seen enough reports to indicate that yet
Update: made a new lobby and it worked
okay, i have this Problem in Singleplayer and Multiplayer on PS5 : Server problem: Failed to Unlocked the Badge, Please play a new Round.
Did you just earn a badge?
no
Restarting the lobby may resolve the issue. If servers are having a larger issue chat is usually flying with people reporting it.
Okay Thank you
I do this all the time, specifically with ghost orbs. Ill walk into a place, see and record ghost orbs, then get the room setup, and then forget i found ghost orbs already
Has to update been done on tanglewood? X
not yet
Okayyy thank you I’ve been away so missed any updates
Anyone experiencing issues with crossplay atm?
I am. Me and my friend can't connect. Are the servers down again or is it just crossplay that's not working?
Do me a favour? First, check crossplay setting is still enabled. Restart the game completely and let me know if it still throws an error
I've seen a couple of reports but also several people who said a restart helped
me!
would changing like the region help? me n my friend are trying to play but we are struggling to get into the game
Absolutely
me and my friend have tried this and its still not working
Crossplay is not working at all
Hi everyone, I'm having a problem. I can't join a room with my friends. I'm on PS5, and their PCs are displaying the "Game not found" message. Check your region, code, and cross-play settings. Update the game. I've tried everything, but nothing works. Can you help?
For us it didn’t work
No my friend 😭
when i did load up my game it did show that there were rooms open in the EU
I have a question about the Onryo and candles. Does it count that you re-light one candle 3 times or do you need 3 different lights in the room at time. Will it light the crucifix or does that prevent the light method working. I feel like I've been trolled by this ghost too many times these couple times I've played.
There were some server issues yesterday and it might be a similar issue. Don't have any confirmation on the cause at the moment, but give it some time and thank you for your patience.
okayyy thank uu
You can do the 3 extinguish test with 1 firelight, but the 20 second trick is way more consistent
What is a 20 second trick?
i only bring one firelight it’s much more consistent and reliable for an onryo test
And just to be clear 3 fires extinguished even lighter.
I CANT PLAY PHAS WITH MY POOKIEEEUUUHHH
If it blows out the same firelight twice within 20 seconds, it's an onryo
Does it always do that?
I've finished work had a glass of wine ready and just wanted to Phas 🥺🥺
Not always, no
It's not guaranteed to do it, but it's pretty likely if ur low sanity
the servers were working for me yesterday n i was playing on pc w someone on ps5
I understand it's frustrating. Servers are funky things and unfortunately the issue isn't always in KG's side either
does single player work
Should do
hopefully this all gets sorted soon!
hey yall i have a question
🛜 Crossplay/Connection Issues 🛜
EDIT: The connection issues seem to be resolved.
You may try a game restart or different region to see if there’s a better connection for you there. Single player should work, as well!
Please be patient, grab a snack or drink and we will update when we have more info.
what’s up
i have played 174 games and have died 101 times. What is a good way to stop dying all the time?
Learning how to use smudge sticks, looping, and effectively hiding. Preventative measures like crucifixes and watching your sanity, keep lights on, etc
Play safer I suppose, try and locate hiding spots at the start of the game and keep an eye out on ur sanity. 99% of the time looping isn't worth it, especially if you're a new player
the smudges i have had no luck with unfortunately
thank yall for the advice
ill try that next game
what i like to do is after i find the ghost room i scan the area for any hiding spots to run to during a hunt. and i’ll keep a smudge on me in case i need more distance to run to hiding
when the ghost starts the hunt as soon as i see it, i use it
Putting firelights around helped me a lot to do less, also try to have a crucifix in an area that u want to run towards, not just where the ghost is
if ur having trouble with the smudge you can use it and then throw it at the ghost that works too
throw the smudge at the ghost?
yeah after you activate the smudge you can throw it which can stun it too
and then run to your hiding spot
The smudge has to be lit within the radius of the ghost, higher tiers have bigger ranges
Yeah the smudge works at any point during its animation
Not just when u press the button
hmmm never knew that
crucifix is helpful too
You'd also want to place crucis strategically and make sure they cover the most ground possible
one method i have been trying to find out if its a yokai or not, is ive been blasting music like a dj and walking around the map seeing if it chases lol

classic
where would one go to find someone to teach them to play better?
when there are walls to block line of sight, i use t3 parabolic to see how far the ghost is from me, and blast my radio when i know a normal ghost should be able to hear it (9m), from there i can continue using the t3 parabolic to see if the ghost has redirected its pathing to find me or not (when it's not already obvious)
He is legit the token dead guy of our games it's been hard ok we need some help.
Yesterday we had him walk with the cross on his hand and he still somehow died.
im trying alright lol
I found out a yokai before I knew it was one since I was being silly and singing "say something please~" over and over and.. lets say Ive never gone quiet so fast when the lights flickered and zoomed out of the area
I nearly died but I broke the ghost ankles around a corner
I was trying to get audio media
anyone down to teach me to be better at the game
thats great
i just yap the ghosts ear off
what problems do you find yourself facing most frequently?
Check out the Cheat sheet for tons of info ghost speeds abilities map info item info myth busting and much more
yeah i love the common misconceptions section of the cheat sheet
I swear I'd have it ten pages long
I learned alot from YT shorts honestly 🤣 from flash force, insym and lil_p66
The things we see here..
dont have problems just would be fun to know more
The cheat sheet I mentioned above is top tier for info but ask away here and one of us old timers will do our best to give information
noted
me and my friend have been able to join each other by the other making a public room and me trying to find it because giving the code wasn't working

Server issues
decided to test apocalypse 3 out for fun just to see how it was, randomly guessed myling and did the objectives without paying much attention just to end up accidentally beating it lmfao
Oh yeaaa this is really good. I was so happy when I discovered it
The people who help with it are information nerds and I love it.
sorry i know about the problems w the servers i just wanted to let people know that this working fior me
Gotcha I saw server things and posted it off reflex
thats ok loll
crossplay still broken 😄 ?
Yes
anybody else having still issue with crossplay?
Yes
The person whi posted just before you did
thanks.
Thought they fixed it yesterday?!
hah.
Im convinced it's not a phasmo issue. It's a unity issue. No word on when/if it's being fixed.
ok, thanks though
crossplay is working for me now, my friend was able to join me (im on steam shes on xbox)
uhhh guys i joined this person who had 15x on in multiplayer and when i joined the game started and ended the game instantly like before we even left the truck so i just chose smth random as ghost
i got it wrong but i still ended up getting the ghost type and objectives right somehow?? i dont know what happened can i get banned now?? i got like 1 level from it i dont wanna be banned
3rd issue with crossplay in 2 weeks how lovely
crossplay seems to be working again now
am i more likely to get a hunt the lower my sanity is? or do the odds stay the same as long as i have enough sanity
thats what sanity is about
Odds are the same if you're in the hunting threshold I think
Yes
its not
is there at least a minimum grace period between hunts?
depends on the difficulty and the mode
Check difficulty settings
In Ridgeview, If I’m standing in front of the door in the foyer facing into the house, and the ghost room is the dining area, would it be possible for a shade to interact with the light switches behind me?
oh alr
or u can change the duration on custom dif
yea
If you are not in the same room , then yes.
Shade will not interact with objects while it shares a room with a player
There are quite a lot of different rooms near the dining area so it is possible a shade could've interacted with it
That is The key it needs to be sharing the room.
is the shade can’t sing thing limited to events or is it also applied to the humming and stuff during hunt?
I believe that is event only
Event only ja
But i'm not even sure of the veracity of that statements , so don't quote me on it
why are people selling levels on phasmo..
Because they're broke losers who can't play the game , so they downloaded a cheap program , and they're making you pay money for literally nothing
Okay thank you! The zones for this house are very odd. 😅
Boosting levels isn't gonna make you better at the game
I believe there's a separate tiny room for the foyer right beside the dining room lol
That’s what I was seeing from online maps.
Motion sensors can help with shade tests, they pinpoint the ghosts exact location
can someone carry me💔
mb i didnt know getting carried was apart of that
How’s the servers looking now?
That is event only.
Oh, just noticed others already responded, sorry.
Me too
No fixes have come up yet, but they do work to some degree.
As far as my tests seem to go, you can play with people from the same region (EU, NA, etc.)
Okie thank youu
we tried but it dont work 🙁
We cant play on eu ps5 to pc
Oh really? It worked for me. I got kicked once but then it worked
Same goes for us.
Unfortunately not for us, not even on other servers and we play on ps5 to pc too
if a ghost throws a book, does that mean the ghost doesn't have writing as a potential evidence? (im on 2 evidence and have dots and orbs)
Yes I think so
No, that only works on 3 evidence. It could be hiding the Writing evidence.
Ohh
wonderful, i have a thaye
I used to think the same until I ended up getting a Moroi that threw the book, and that confused me so much.
Only ghost I'm missing to identify and survive is spirit.
Thaye's aren't that bad, once you let it age.
So far we have tried multiple Server (EU, Asia, etc,) and also multiple option, restated the game, installed it new, restarted the connection. Have some of you other ideas to troubleshot crossplay or does it for you work?
phas servers having issues for anyone?
i’ll check me and mt friend are abt to play
I only starter playing like 3 weeks ago, and everytime it threw the book it wasnt, so This is a Nice tip 😂
Can someone turn down the volume of then job announcer? My ears have been bleeding
Well, if you're playing on 3 evidence, then yes, if the ghost throws it then it doesn't have Writing.
But on 2 or less evidence, throwing the book could also mean it's hiding that evidence.
Thanks
No worries 🙂
@molten wedge i would like to hear the rest. It's just the announcer :)
but my footsteps then?
Everyone i know is complaining about the announcer 🔇
Same thing happening with us trying to do crossplay in EU (PS5 to XBOX)
Lowering master volume could also backfire if you have grace period, since having grace period on means you can briefly hear where the ghost is. Not only that, but if you tend to listen to footsteps to determine how close the ghost is.
lowering master volume backfires everything.
i can play without a headset on and get the same result then.
yeah understandable-i have mine max
servers down or something? me and my friend cant join each other
To answer your question, no you cannot lower the volume of that voice.
anyone know if there is anything going on with multiplayer or the servers? me and my friend couldnt play yesterday and we keep getting the bug where it has like 10x less population for one of us on a server, so we cannot play together
ye we figured.
its issues again
I know... it was more a poke towards Kinetic to FIX it.
so not us i presume
Pinned message says they’re working on it
ah thx
it’s been pretty loud for a while
I have the same big as yester day again
You know what the announcer says has NOTHING to do with the ghost right... 😂
Well, I doubt you can hear the ghost that far away, anyway.
Oh and plus, the ghost isn't even active when you load into the map. The ghost doesn't actually "spawn" until you open the front door.
Why cant i join again not with the right code
true
there’s known issues
Those need to be fixed
im really wondering where the ghosts are coming from. the talk went about the ingame commentator
“🛜 Crossplay/Connection Issues 🛜
You may try a game restart or different region to see if there’s a better connection for you there. Single player should work, as well!
Please be patient, grab a snack or drink and we will update when we have more info.”
Check the pinned messages.
It’s not a bug. It’s a server issue. And usually those are out of KG hands, as it’s usually a hosting company having issues.
yeah let’s just move on from there
Oh but pls fix this
W hosting companies
I just wanna play with my friends on a Friday night 💔
i just wanna play without having my ears getting send to heaven by completing a game
it’s been happening quite frequently
valid
@covert flare create a lobby, if it doesn't work -- leave and create again. That worked for me...
Tried it, even reinstalled the game nothings works, but it is good to know that someone is working on it, thanks.
i‘m having the same issues
We tried like 20 times
try 21 times
i’m possibly gonna restart my game, change server a few times
it will work at some point
i tried twice..
but if that doesn’t work, then i’ll just have to wait
happened a lot during winter jest
same, we tried if it’s working when someone else is hosting but no
Geez why didn’t I think of that
hi guys I have question
what’s up?
I got a issue when I start the phasmo
Welcome to the club
We all do 🙃
check pinned messages
Yeah that's a thing right now
There may be some server issues, we don't currently have any more info than that so just sit tight, relax and check back later. Singleplayer should work
this is failed to load il2.cpp issue
XBOX x PC worked 😊
^^
Lucky doesn’t for me
lucky for you
trying to see if PS5 and PC works currently
no I have a file issue

He already got told, move on.
im sorry im allergic
yeah
Damn
so yall cant play online either?
im playing on pc with a xbox player, it works
Allergic to people who don't have English as their first language?
Yup, my friends can’t join me and I can’t join them
im trying to do so to but it doesnt quite work
again problems with crossplay?
allergic to people that answer questions without the question in it
Yeah
yep pinned messages
what server are you on
Ive had this problem since about 3 o clock +1 ams
EU
Yes.
thats mean
Since yesterday
oo i see now thx
Well, they're not down, to be fair, but they're not great right now.
How long does it normally take to get the servers back up again for crossplay?
I think long, yesterday they where down to and they are still down
Ok im trying with a new code and i cant still not join
We're not English either. But moving on.
^this
Have you fixed this crossplay problem because I still have it?
but we dont anwser Questions with useless info we got nothing with, only the devs can anwser those questions
Yesterday evening they did just fine for me (EU). Just today was a bit of a problem.
so thats a reason to bash other people who cant speak english properly?
That’s odd because it didn’t work for me
orrr just face the truth which is that you’re a meanie for no reason (ur not cool btw)
You went all the way back to find the comment. Whilst already got warned by a moderator. And you still had to comment on it. Whilst we already moved on. Says something about you.
deserved
Well I got to join my friend on pc today just once. But we couldn’t talk. When I tried to rejoin I couldn’t. Has been since then

Name a ghost and its favorite fruit

lil piece o heaven
Ohh yeah or Unholy confessions
People, gen chat. It's right there
cant wait for tangle rework
Do you take this so seriously?
You know I have gotten way fewer Dayan than any of the other two new ghosts
phasmo down again wtf?
place another # maybe they listen then
I imagine it's because they can only be female
When is it not
why has it been so bad recently
we almost always get males.
I actually really like that kitchen
Fr
It looks cozy, like grandma's kitchen vibes
Servers made from a toiletrol
straight up
Mate CJ fix your game u donut
exactly! very excited!
server hamsters have hammed they last ster
Yeah I'm not sure what the issue has been but often it's unfortunate not on KG's side. To operate the servers they work with third parties, hosts and such
W profile 🔥
hell nah
In my headcanon it's a starter home of a couple, built before they were born, and most of their furniture are hand-me-downs.
bro the island
lol i get so much spam
Aaaaw
I like that
my looping spot
the one right next to it is way better
I imagine the dining table might be a looping spot still
yeah
Why does bro have his profile as his self
i got that problem too
Yes
But I like a clearer separation of dining and kitchen in terms of functionality
@gritty dove dm'd you btw :)
I have a question, me and my friend are really stumped as weve been playing this round for about 25 minutes roughly and the both of our sanitys are still around 95%. We haven't spent a lot of time in the truck and we swear this is the ghost room. Does anyone have any ideas what we could be doing wrong/what ghost it could potentially be??
check pins
thank god there is a new one, i had no idea
what map is it?
Who wants to help me level up
idk about the rework, but in current tanglewood, the dining room table is just a better looping spot than the kitchen island
is it?
tanglewood
oh yes very good looping spot. you can loop any ghost there without smudging for as long as you need with a few exceptions for slower ghosts that are still fast enough to catch up
Does anyone know if the servers are down?
and what mode are you doing? amateur, intermediate, professional, nightmare, insanity, custom?
amateur
check pins
AHHAAHHA W profile
there's really no way for anyone to check that other than coming into discord and looking for a ton of people spamming similar questions
Sorry kinda new to discord how do I do that?
weird, have you got the breaker on checked around with thermos?
Are you on mobile or pc?
Mobile
AHHAHAHA W
all okay! swipe right up top it should say “pins”
Tap the channel name up top there and then go to the Pins tab
ye, the room we think hes in is at like 3 degrees celcius
that probably is the ghost room
Thank you
are the other rooms warmer?
Thabk you
ye
No problem
u got any evidence?
Yo
yeah then that’s the ghost room i recon
UV & Spirit Box
When is the new update ?
and no other?
I’ve got a problem where I can’t join my friends private game… I’m I the only one??? He plays on pc and I play on ps5
We do not know
we don’t know
no other we are thinking mabye emf but not too sure
💔
Crossplay is not working
Try making a public game instead
We tried but never found each other
ok so u have no orbs it cant be a mimic
It's happened yesterday now tonight at the same sort or time its ridiculous haha
Tf is this name they give me
Good to know, thank you
Bugged map
ye
have u tried to stack items and test for polti?
Crossplay issue is still here
i dont think either of us have gone below 90% sanity
Crossplay issue is still here
Yeah I couldn't tell you what exactly the issue is but I understand it's frustrating
btw are u playing with someone?
yeah
@gritty dove Yh its fine it fixed its self last night as well so hopefully soon it will be fixed and all back to normal
Still for me aswell 🙁
Same problem. I played on Xbox and my friends on PC. 🥺 Cant play with them, or other lobbys. 😫😭
a lot of people are experiencing it
have u checked who does it react to?
does anyone have problems with the ghost's speed? I just had a match where the ghost was normal speed and then sped up, put down obambo and it was actually a demon but demon doesn't have a speed increase so both I and my friends are confused
Demon has LoS speedup
ohh tysm
what do you mean by react?
why is there a problem again with crossplay like i tought it was resolved yesterday not?
i was using the phasmo cheat sheet and it didnt say that so i was very confused
cuz it can react to everyone or react to only one person
KG actually did look into it yesterday but that doesn't always involve them themselves fixing it. There are third parties that are involved when you're dealing with servers and hosting and such. I'm not an employee I wouldn't know where the issue is but it'll get sorted regardless. It is the weekend so I couldn't say how fast but we appreciate the patience
pins but yeah
it says react to everyone, i got the spirit box evidence
yea i saw but it now looks more that its overloaded then a problem like its when much ppl want to play
yeah it seems to be the games peak times of the days
Dear Gallu, how dare you not walk through ANY of my 6 salt piles… thought I had a wraith for sure!
wierd well ur only way is to wait for evidence or just guess

yea im not a dev but i would just get some backup servers like this is no fun now i cant even play the game now with my wife xD its our break of real life hahaha
did it change rooms at all?
Hope the Crossplay issue gets resolved for good soon 😭 🙏
i recon we will probably try for a bit longer than just gag it. thanks for the help tho
welp i almost did no help xD if u want i can help u a bit
hahaha, me and my mate were gonna play but phas servers decided otherwise
i dont have mic tho
Yes, apparently 3 times. I only caught 2 of them.
i think we have it covered thx tho
Are we still currently having issues with the servers ?
yes
i am
yea its sad really now 2 days in a row and phasmo is the only game we can crossplay

Also I wonder what the roadmap will look like for this year..
-lfg
Roadmap?
-roadmap
The Phasmophobia Development Roadmap can be seen below, or by following this link.
Yeah that
For example, that’s last years
Anyone else getting game not found when trying to join somebody on Xbox?
This year sounds like a huge year for phas
Crossplay issue

I’m on Xbox myself tho
Go to the #lfg-eu channel as the bot message says

New maps let’s gooo!
So post one, or swap regions

i playing on steam, and i also cannot start a game when i press start, my boyfriend have the same problem. we want to play together with 2 people more, one pc, the other one ps5 .. they can play. we both not 🥲
Where do i report if im still having issues with connecting to lobbies?
if the ghost just got line of sight and i smudged it with the tier 2 incense does the speed of the ghost stay the samea s it was getting sped up during los
press multiplayer/single player, press EU in top left ans then change it
k ig
Got it to work by turning off cross play
Are you trying to join a friend?
I was yes
FIX TS DEVS
if the ghost just got line of sight and i smudged it with the tier 2 incense does the speed of the ghost stay the samea s it was getting sped up during los
Same not working for me
Remember once it's resolved to turn this back on as it means you will not be able to play with anyone that has crossplay enabled, but good to know for now!
I’ve tried it multiple times… I guess your lucky
The t2 effect will slow the ghost down but yes when it ends for any tier it will resume it's speed.
Unless rev once it can't detect you anymore.
Is there issues with American servers right now? I tried to join my friends and it says game not found I'm from Europe they from America but it isn't letting me join them, they made new lobby, I restarted my playstation did everything and doesn't work
there are issues with every server known to man
Are they on pc?
Nah we all on ps5
Well then I don’t know.. might be a server issue… Everyone’s having the same problem
game is down? (((
Yeah my little sister on her steam deck cant join my game. Says try a different region for her.
crossplay broken?
Yes
not only crossplay for me, i even cant play on pc steam
Stupid question but did you definitely change the region to match up with the others?
yea my friends play xbox i play pc it worked for like an hr then stopped working when we had to restart the lobby
i did and it still didnt work
Aahhhh Oki
I have one question what is the newest server version
i know they mentioned something about it last night and they said it should be fixed but ive been having this problem for 2 days now
How do you sumit a bug
guys, did your try reinstall phasmo? it worked for me. before i had christmas decor.. after reinstall its gone and i can play.
issues with all - pinned, i do play crossplay but the connection isn’t working - works in single player

Any updates ab crossplay?
Not so far, no
🥲
Keep in mind it's Friday evening in the UK so it's outside of business hours
also crossplay?
im playing with ps5 and pc together, it works now
!s it normal that u see op pc under room browser that u have enabled crossplay but u dont have this text on ps5?
If you don't see that text on PS5 you probably don't have it enabled there. Go into your settings to enable it
You may need to restart after
ok, for us it didnt work so far
yea i already tryed it but it doesnt appear
Is that setting visible in settings? (I do not have a console so I can't confirm)
What region?
yea its visible but it does not make that text appear
Is it set to enabled in settings?
yes
wait now it appeared
Nice
it works omg
oh now i can play crossplay it works lol
Yh
im never touching that setting ever again
playing older versions usually isn't okay
o
Can a poltergeist poltybomb even if it's just one item?
if it's the only item in the vicinity yes
yeah, i just watched a singular bucket raise off the ground and throw at me, that's a poltybomb, right?
do we know if crossplay is up and going again?
I wanted to play a old version of phas and I have a virus
Crossplay works again🫣
finally
playing older versions is generally looked down on because you could mess up your gamefiles, and if that's the case there's nothing anyone can do
I'm curious. Does polty bomb wreck the entire room or is it a specific radius.
Whats worse it's my school chrome book so I'm cooked
....why would you install games on your school laptop
even if the processing power is good enough that's such a dumb thing to do
If the school didn't want them downloading Phas then it wouldn't have let him 
can standard ghost throws just pick straight up, hover and be thrown right at you?
or is that guaranteed a poltybomb?
yea
i'm sure the school it guys didn't think anyone would even try installing steam
Excited for Horror 2.0 , hopefully scarier spirit box voices and some more unique scary interaction animations (like throwing a chair or breaking a wine glass)
Cause they block everything so I deleted the files and then I just install random games
don't you think they blocked stuff for a reason
like for example "we don't want viruses on our school chromebooks"
just take the laptop to the school IT guys and tell them you messed up
I won't get another one
So I might as well buy a new one

Bye pookies
why not just install the files onto a flashdrive from steam, and then plug it into your book? That's what i used to do with Factorio
Craptop
especially a chromebook
eh, maybe on the bigger maps
i could see it getting some frames on like, tanglewood
0 shot
I have a craptop from 2017 that struggled to run Phas back in 2021.
idk, you'd be surprised.
my old shitty laptop could run phas, but only tanglewood/edgefield/ridge
still confused on why you'd need to install steam games on your school laptop
Which reminds me that I eventually need to replace my craptop.
realistically, you don't need too
Guys what is the fastest way to get to level 50? I'm at 42 and its so slow I just wanna get custom difficulties again.
nightmare
or insanity
I used to bring Factorio to school before, on a flashdrive, but that's like it. That was also like, 10 years ago lmao
Imo Nightmare mode is faster.
I'd say nightmare, higher chances of success with shittier tools
That and you can rule out more ghosts faster.
How do you enter the cabin in Maple Lodge? It's normally locked, from the looks of it.
although, i still use some of my t2 tools instead of t3's. Some of them are just so much better
Check under the rug
there's a key next to the mat
Key under welcome mat
i switched back from t3 smudges to t2s and start dying alot less
Is there a way to lower the sound of the narrator or whatever its called (they guy that does the introduction) without lowering the ghost footsteps, throwing sound etc... I sometimes can barely hear ghost and when going in a game the guy screams in my headphones
sadly no, i'm still living in hope of multiple volume sliders
him screaming is a bug I'm pretty sure
like one for the awfully loud walkietalkie
KRSH
Defo a must
i always turn voices down to 12%, but there's nothing i can do about the walkietalkie so i get headaches from how loud people are
Why 12 specifically
Meanwhile I forget the ghost set off the car alarm because it's so quiet now.
because they get muted at 11
Why did they do that you can reset you save file
Because sometimes people want to
The game need to fix that you can get you d one back
so people who want to can start over
....the button clearly says it's irreversible
don't you have to click like twice to even delete it?
yeah, kinda on you at that point mate
Cant u just copy ur save file before u do it
no
You can backup your save file. We just generally don't recommend touching it at all since if you break something it often can't be fixed. You can't however move savefiles between accounts
i kinda like that disturbed salt became a video instead of a picture now, but the door moves and the salt ones are sometimes SO hard to get
It would work no? If its against the rules i never said u should
Just copy SaveLog file and paste it on desktop or smth
Backing up your savefile is okay. Just don't attempt to modify it or move it between accounts
saying no is easier than explaining that if you do that there's a chance of corruption and the support crew aren't obligated to help if that happens
imo
And again, if something breaks, that's all your own responsibility generally. KG is not responsible for that
I kinda hate that the moroi curse doesn't have a unique sound
Well if they dont know what theyr doing then just dont do it. It should be quite hard to mess something up just by copying and pasting it
You would be surprised
It sounds like common sense, but common sense ain't so common
Regardless the reset save button does have several warnings. People really need to read before they click things
Why can’t my friend join me we’re both on Xbox and he cant join me and I cannot join him either
As you can see in the pinned message we've been having some server issues. Do make sure both of you have crossplay enabled just in case
We both do
Do all ghosts have the same range that they can kill you from or some have bigger/smaller range. Or does it just depend on latency. When looping they can get pretty close to me and not kill me and sometimes i get killed from room apart when trying to get to looping spot xd. And it always seems to be Yokai
Then it's likely still the server issues. For now just sit tight until it's resolved
Can def. Be latency. I struggle with that when playing on a region not my own
Well i always play on EU and keeps happening
when a crucifix burns does that mean that the ghost tried to hunt but couldn’t because of the crucifix?
Yes
I concur
and how do i repeal the ghost with incense while it’s chasing someone or whatever it said
Just ignite incense when its chasing someone and u should get it
im too blonde for this lol
Heheheh, u gotta be close to it, then light the incense with a match or lighter
Have incense. When it sees you run at it with the incense on and then hide.
should i drop the incense while it’s incensing if that’s even a word
Anyone wanna play
i do it but only because i want that inventory slot to be empty now that the smudge is no longer usable
U can (or should since u can only use it once)
but i have 3 of them
or am i mixing shit up
What
like when i light an incense i wait for it to affect the ghost then i drop it because i want that inventory slot to be available again to pick up another smudge or a camera or something
you don't have to drop it tho
U have 4 incenses in total and 3 inventory slots. When u use incense it becomes unusable and just takes 1 inventory slot
I'm going to try for apocalypse challenge in 4hr, can anyone help ? I'm gonna stream
U got it
yeah i thought you meant that you only have one
Anyone know if crossplay is still down?
👀
I would play phasmo rn, but I’m working on cooking an egg sandwich
Please forgive me phasmo devs
Unforgivable
😭
Gotta multitask
Can you see Obake shapeshift if you're dead?
Aww man :(
all you can get from the ghost while it's hunting and you're dead is the speed and blink
techinically if you are using t1 thermo you can see freezing
and Myling
and if it's a mimic and you're not the host you will not see special blinks like oni blinks or deo blinks or obake shapeshift, dead or alive. only the host sees the correct blinks. good way to identify mimic when the host and someone else have conflicting observations on blinking patterns
also myling sound
Wait, really? That makes no sense, though.
its host-client desync issue with mimics
-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.
winter's jest 2025 is in beta testinggggg
They still have to fix the card title
Also Cardboard knows there's no movement b/c the ZN server has a bot that checks every few seconds
I HAVE COMBINED HAM, EGG, SALT, PEPPER, AND GARLIC INTO THE ULTIMATE HAM SANDWICH! I call it… THE PROTEIN PACK!
Ermmmm but its not every second + it has the possibility of breaking
guys my ghosts look wierd
when it's not able to check it throws errors that you don't see
i mean, deo and oni have pretty much the same blink...
and don't forget phantom blinks
Not sure if this is still a topic of discussion but just deleted and reinstalled on Xbox as someone suggested earlier and all issues appear fixed
interesting
can a ghost fake dots or am i just tweaking
feel like the odds of an xbox download being corrupted is very slim, it would most definitely verify with checksum
tweaking for sure
guhdamn
Must’ve been your breath or a mist form or smth
Just keep it cool, dots is incredibly obvious
You will know it when you get it
alr alr
people really need to learn how to private games instead of just insta kicking anyone who joins
Anyone know if crossplay is still down?
Welcome to the internet twin
Are you on Xbox?
no pc
I've just reinstalled the game and everything is working fine now
We need phasmophobia versus mode.
got hit with the Moroi's curse ❤️
we need jump into obake obby
Like PvP? It won’t be having that mode at all.
1 ghost, 2 duos or singles, get the most money.
Whats phas about?
I like to think of it as kinda a playground, you can do your RP, you can play like a horror game, etc
-Steam
Phasmophobia is a 4-player, online co-op, psychological horror game. You and your team of paranormal investigators will enter haunted locations filled with paranormal activity and try to gather as much evidence as you can. Use your ghost-hunting equipment to find and record evidence to sell on to a ghost removal team.…

That
I ain’t gonna argue with you about your own game, I’m just saying that it’s more so the player that makes the game what it is
Personally, I live for the comedic moments or epic survivals
Others may play it because of the terror of the ghost
This is factual information
No bruh brownstone high school is where its at
I'd like to join public lobbies, is there an etiquette for which items to bring and what to use? I was just going to bring one tier 3 of everything.
Where’s the bone
NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING
In the building
Let everyone else pay
I have over $100k, I think I can pay :3
Not in the back courtyard???
Shhhhhh don’t tell them that
Nah
Classroom 37 
I don't play publics much, but when I do I offer to provide the gear since idc about the money
The secret to success in phasmophobia is to lie and say you are dirt poor so you do t pay for anything
if the host wants a specific loadout they should tell you
Sounds good, thanks:)
But how u gonna buy yourself a nice house on willow street and retire from ghost hunting???
What if I’m actually dirt poor
Then preach the truth, you poor as hell and can’t spend no moolah
It was fun being a beginner and having absolutely nothing to hunt with LOL
i finally got a solo perfect wooo
Nice!
Until you get a rev
What difficulty?

nvm it was a fucking mimic
Rule number one, always carry an incense
Happened to me too man, it was gonna be my first perfect game as well, but the damn yurei was very oni like
It manifested 5 seprate times
all evidencis pointed to a hantu but i didnt bother testing for spirit box 🙁
damn fake ass ghost orbs
as a beginner with nothing to hunt with
probably nothing to hunt with
run fast and pray
ghost cant get you if you get the ghost first
Always test the box, it’s easy (especially on single player)
true
True if the ghosts manifests a physical form why can’t we jump his shit
yeah this was my first time getting a mimic 🙁
THE MIMMMMIIIICCCCCCCC
I wish
i looked at the evidences for it and saw spirit box after i failed my one objective
I tried that once
or just get on the counter if it's a baby
I found an axe in the farmhouse and I threw that bitch at the ghost because I was cornered
cross shaped gun
Abdullah x Jasmin
with cross shaped bullets
Ever played Roblox demonology?
no
no
Büni x Diana
They have a holy shotgun for dealing with ghost hunts
Ali ALi ALi
It’s lowkey funny as hell
if there's and El MIMO in demonology i'll play
ty tyt
or that
servers still slow and buggy? taking forever to load in people and cant hear peeps or?
YES
i got a solo perfect this time, wasnt a damn mimic again
is professional worth the risk? or should i just keep going for perfects on intermediate
Had my first Dayan today and there's something funny about moving around in a hiding spot and making it speed up
ngl, playing this game with randos on 0-ev is annoying af as a high lvl player
you're telling me lol
AYY ur alive! long time no see doc
is professional difficulty worth the risk?
yeah? it's the most commonly played difficulty
tbh anything less is not worth the money
i be telling them what the ghost is if i know, and they'll either ignore and keep testing... or doubt me even tho ive been carrying them 4 the past hr
ok ty, the no setup kinda worries me tho
if they're low level i just keep my mouth shut and let them ask me questions
tbh the setup is just wasted time when the ghost doesn't do anything, just turn the lights on in the main areas as you go and your sanity should stay good for a while. keep the lights off in the ghost room when you find it so that the ghost can interact with stuff to its full potential and is not hindered in any way (ghosts CANNOT throw things (emf 3) while lights are on in the room)
The secret is to play on nightmare, it’s got enough difficulty to make you feel something and has a good sum of moolah as a reward
as long as you don't find yourself just flat out guessing once you get the 2 evidence yeah nightmare's good
Nothing beats the end of level discussions on what kinda ghost it could possivbly be
most of the time it comes down to ghost speed once you're down to those last 3-5 ghosts
One time we had a yokai mimic an onryo with strategic hunt timing
lmao
i pretend that mechanic doesn't exist
How can Obake Shapeshifting not count as video of ghost?
it's an ability video
I just recorded an Obake shapeshifting, it was a hunting ghost video, but since it shapeshifted it counted as Obake Shapeshifting.
yeah needed to just do another recording after
shade doesnt have a trophy?
Im on ps5 and my 2 friends are on pc, one of my friends can hear me and the can hear me, but the other one we cant hear eachother
We both restarted the game
i have had this. go to recent players menu in the journal/pause menu and use the block/unblock buttons there to block and unblock the person you cannot hear. the block/unblock buttons in the actual lobby by your ID cards will not click for some reason so has to be in recent players menu
Yeah hé found out hé Blocked me lol
lmao
Like a 20 minute search
Is cross play finally working?
Yeah we’re playing
got perfect first try of professional lets go
between vid camera, thermo, and dots which tier 2 should i get first
Twins are so hard
Video camera cause you get a tier bonus
In my personal opinion, video camera should be last priority. Go for T2 Thermo.
To each their own
Quite the conflict in advise here
T1 Thermo is more useless than T1 dots.
But I like to get more money quickly
Camera works just fine as T1.
How much better is t2 dots than t1
The tier bonus is literally 1 dollar extra.
I’m thinking getting thermos first, then camera, then dots
Instead of a tiny beam, it lights up an entire area with dots.
Ohh is it that one that does the 360 with dots
5 dollars for 5 photos then investigation bonus it adds up
That will definitely be useful
Sounds alright, but I'd say Thermo first, then dots, then camera. T2 camera isn't much better than T1, and the tier bonus the other guy was talking about is literally just 1 extra dollar per video.
Got it, ty
25 extra dollars, plus the multiplier bonus. It's laughable bonus, imo.
Also, does each UV mark count as a unique photo? Like if I take a photo of a hand print then a footprint will the footprint be unique?
Yes.
Ok nice, that’s gonna make my perfect attempts so much easier
Hands/fingers and feet are different. You can get 2 unique
Yes
So hand and finger prints count as the same?
Yes
Ok ty
i think you mean finger and foot
Obake hand is its own unique as well tho
Forgot to add, T2 does have 360, but it's not that big. It's enough to light the entire Laundry room in Tanglewood, if you know what I mean.
Wdym? I mean hand print on a door, finger prints on a switch, and footprint on the ground
oh
Fingerprints and handprints count as the same
Handprint on the door counts as fingerprints, meaning handprints on doors and fingerprints on switches are the same.
Ok ty, that’s what I was confused abt there
Fingerprints and Footprints are different, though.
depends on context
Is it much better for getting dots ghost photo and video?
I'd say so
It gives you more time for each, so yes.
Gettings DOTS video on T1 DOTS can be really difficult, if you don't know how to properly place it. T2 DOTS makes it easier.
Im playing phasmososoo
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise you can place t1 dots
guys is it worth to upgrade to tier3 uv or emf?
emf 100%
Low-key I am new to phasmo any tips?
easily emf
Well, same for me, to a certain degree. I thought you had to drop items.
what change does it have? like is it js better or what
EMF is better overall.
Well hm, what things do you struggle with
It lets you see more than 1 interaction.
bigger range
okok
points exactly to where the interaction came from
