phasmo-chat

[dry harness]

Yeah not the biggest problem bro

[tiny anvil]

holy fuck this is comically bad

[past swallow]

Yes I am aware

[lilac summit]

Would make the game much better tbh

[finite frigate]

funny how the character customization update forgot to add character customization. Literally JUST a "clothing customization" update

[kindred cedar]

i mean, throw another one on the pile, honestly

[rocky current]

Believe it's just the animated twitch drop badge icons and not the backgrounds. The icons all appear super whited out

[analog girder]

Dc'ed back to back twice with my friend.

[bright ivy]

it would make it more bearable 😂

[dry harness]

I just wanna make it through ONE game

[devout maple]

FOR REAL

[tiny anvil]

playermodels look butt ugly, everything is a foot away from your face now, runs at like 2/3 the frames it used to, genuinely how did they even THINK this was good to release holy fuck

[tender mural]

Anyone else timing out a lot

[nova pumice]

i want to say something about spherical bodyshapes, but i feel like its gonna be automod... but think about, we cant run for long whitout sounding like we ran a marathon... so the crouching makes sense... but the character design doesnt

[past swallow]

I just thought I would mention it. :|

[grave bronze]

Yeah, this really bothers me, don't see how they'll fix it without making separate first-person viewmodels again.

[dry harness]

Yeah can someone start making a bullet point list, this is getting hysterically bad

[slow spade]

money 🤑

[lilac summit]

We should all go to the Roblox Phas game now

[stray oar]

hell yes

[kindred cedar]

the hair colors are crazy to me cause like after youve made the fifth hair color how much harder is it to make a few more. were they handpainting the model every time or what

[worn swift]

cant play roblox because of nte 😡

[rocky current]

I commented early about not seeing anything talked about body fat and being skinny or gender swapped clothings. Think you should be safe?
Either way, it would make a lot of sense

[fringe latch]

But the hand is lagging behind in contrast to the body it’s so glitchy I can’t 😭

[dry harness]

Hopping on, better see you there

[viscid cairn]

From a peak game to now... Well... This

[frank crane]

how do we remove piercings?

[slow spade]

game has just gotten worse with every update since crimson eye

[nova pumice]

oh im just being careful, but yeah nice to know it does work... i feel like we should be a XXXL rather than a small/medium... then the animations make sense

[novel breach]

join a 11x lobby just to see 3 cheaters they alr max preseitge lv 2k plus

[fringe latch]

Only good update was new ghost update

[rocky current]

That to me is the bite of 87 where everyone banded together in strength despite the impossible feat of like 1 million points or whatever it was

[slow spade]

over a billion XD

[pallid shale]

has anybody find new bugs for VR, did you guys think they are gonna address it too?

[glad prairie]

sunny meadows restricted is just normal sunny meadows lol

[rocky current]

Well dwarfs and such would be cool to see or nba basketball sized people. The limits really are boundless. It's just up to how they wanna handle it

[smoky sparrow]

yeah i give up

[bright ivy]

hadnt followed phasmo for a while, saw there was a big new update this morning and was greeted by…this

[left pier]

Roblox won’t do us dirty🤭

[tiny anvil]

LMAO actually

[atomic moss]

Can anyone else hear the creaking from Tanglewood outside

[nova pumice]

imma be honest. i fear for the ghost update, since this is what we got for customisation...

[rancid rune]

did the new update break everything just a little bit

[fringe latch]

I prestiged to p21 thinking I’m gonna grind more prestiges and then I realised the update makes me not wanna play the game

[glad prairie]

idk but every section is available to us, we were doing random between tanglewood and restricted so that might be why

[tiny anvil]

broke everything and actively made the game slower and more tedious and uglier

[slow spade]

yup, I'm in the exact same boat

[naive dust]

@devs how do you fuck up this bad

[lilac summit]

This reminds me of the Security Breach release 😭

[rocky current]

You'd figure the core gameplay and what affects it would be on the table before working on cosmetics and stuff that should be final touches. But here we are.

[tiny anvil]

itll never fail to amaze me how many things in this game break in a PLAYER CUSTOMIZATION update

[silk bear]

This is bad. This feels like a step backwards.

[fringe latch]

This might be the most backlash I’ve ever seen

[smoky sparrow]

gonna go play roblox 🤭

[dry harness]

This will work bro trust me, they totally read this

[nova pumice]

the funny part is... they had people playing it before we got it... should be a obvious cry for help from what they said..

[tame cradle]

I lost faith after the media update.

[kindred cedar]

or like, if you were gonna work on cosmetics for a year, you would expect a couple more cosmetics, right?

[slow spade]

1 step forward 3 miles backwards! 😊

[rancid rune]

is it really that bad or are yalls expectations up too high after the indie releases we've had this year (like silksong)

[scenic plinth]

Im seeing a lot of people say how scared they are but tbf like- how many Phas updates come like this? Sure some people kinda didnt like the prestige and level changes but those and the reworks have been great. Still surprised asf how this update came out the way it did tho it sets a scary precedent

[bright ivy]

and then the player customization that its focused around is lacklustre anyways LMFAO its so disappointing

[thorn stone]

It’s bad it’s so bad

[copper knoll]

Took them 2 years to add what we’ve all wanted only to be half-assed smh

[nova pumice]

indeed...

[fringe latch]

when phas Roblox is better than normal phas

[lilac summit]

RIGHT

[dry harness]

So when you start a game, you expect to be able to play the game right?

[finite frigate]

still hoping for the old garage with the skeleton in the locker to come back🥹 🙏

[junior coral]

Tbh we don't know if the devs are at fault here, they may have told whoever makes the decisions at Kinetic that this shouldn't be released but they did it anyway...but yeah it's pretty bad

[rocky current]

I swear we will wish for more cosmetics and a monkey paw finger will curl giving us infinite possibilities, but only rings to choose from

[nova pumice]

payed actors...

[frosty relic]

yoo i just bought the game it’s downloading what should i expect when playing

[lost patio]

ALL they had to do was make your characters look better and add a few new animations and it would be perfect, but now the game is significantly worse.
This is the only update in the entire games existence that i have been negative on, i just dont like the watch or the big ass left hand, all of it for the most part

[dry harness]

Now imagine crashing every time you try to begin the game, the moment the concept of playing starts you get timed out. Not that bad right?

[tiny anvil]

genuinely yandere dev coding btw this game runs SO poorly for me and i have a 5070. it will never not amaze me how badly this game is optimized and treated in general. do they think theyre a triple-a studio???? why do they act like one and make stupid decisions left and right????

[copper knoll]

Bugs

[cobalt stream]

this is honestly the worst update to a game i've seen in years

[open locust]

Is anyone else getting kicked out of the game after the update?

[tired idol]

may as well cancel the download and get a refund

[earnest gorge]

is there a good one yet?

[tame cradle]

Not playing and requesting a refund asap.

[forest walrus]

Yeah

[nova pumice]

a refund or buggy experience. you choose

[fringe latch]

Ion know I don’t play Roblox

[finite frigate]

this guy things hes gonna be able to play

[plain mica]

In addition, spirit box will not pick up any of my crew.

[kindred cedar]

also they warned us about the prestige and the level changes beforehand because they knew it would be controversial. not warning us 'hey the game won't work right for at least a week fyi' makes me think like... did they genuinely think this would be good

[fresh inlet]

well we're in a bit of an uproar right now they just put out a mid update but try to have fun and get your youtube videos ready

[copper knoll]

Yeah I think everyone is, that’s the only reason I joined the discord

[scenic plinth]

The performance doesnt make me as angry as just the ugly lighting bugs and stuff, can the game at least look good before it runs like crap?? It cant do either thing right :')

[dry harness]

Seamless expereince, no bugs, beautiful quality, your new fav trust me bro

[cedar vapor]

this game is ass

[nova pumice]

inb4 single player works fine... trying to make us suffer alone ...

[tiny anvil]

delays on everything you do, butt ugly character models, 10-20 fps gone, sunny meadows restricted bugged

[thorn stone]

I feel scammed

[lost patio]

i have a 1660 super and run on everything maxed and i never dip below 60.

[scenic plinth]

"For a week" Im so scared its gonna be like this forever lmao

[hasty star]

It's really that bad. As much as my friends and I appreciate the character customization - granted, it could be better, but we laugh at the goofy animations and stuff anyway - we could not play tonight because we kept getting kicked off the game.

So we'll be playing other games and hoping they fix it quickly.

[finite frigate]

see youd think so but people i know are even getting the timeout message in singleplayer soooo

[sullen lily]

Somehow the developers managed to change slop models with even more slop models, quite impressive ngl. We now need a button to disable the player viewmodel

[kindred cedar]

the number of cosmetics aren't even really an issue imo but its just another thing cause like... i can't even go "ugh they valued cosmetics over gameplay and it wrecked the gameplay"... they wrecked the gameplay for nothing cause they didn't even put in that many cosmetics. if my game's gonna be wrecked for cosmetics id at least like a few more cosmetics lmao

[nova pumice]

Training time, right?... that gotta work

[dry harness]

Chopped island update, how low can you go

[finite frigate]

spirit box doesnt work so training time impossible LOL

[rocky current]

Really dislike how this is their second time handling levels in a controversial way. We really just need an automatic part where it asks if we want our levels to stay or be put into additional prestiges if possible

[tiny anvil]

YES GENUINELY. HOW THE HELL IS THE LIGHTING SO BAD i get that its unity but jesus christ this game looks awful in general with how many visual bugs and lighting issues there are. this game needs to be rebuilt from the ground up by an entirely different studio if we want it to see any sort of future imo

[kindred cedar]

at LEAST a week but i was tryna be optimistic

[nova pumice]

challenge accepted ... who gets a voice first

[rain oxide]

everyone is currently complaining about the new update so this is a pretty bad time to be on discord about the game. Other than the update, the game has a great loop and you can easily sink alot of hours into it. its a great video game, just maybe in a rough patch in terms of bugs.

[tiny anvil]

i get lagspikes that last like 3 seconds on tanglewood with a 5070 too

[rancid rune]

or just ignore all the goddamn buzzkills and wait for the devs to do their thing and restore the game to a functioning state instead of crying and pissing everywhere like seemingly everyone else??
idk i haven't booted up the game but I just don't get all the doomposting

[finite frigate]

see this holds a good message but unfortunately the gameplay loop and sinking hours only really works when the game is playable so until this gets fixed phasmo is kinda ruined

[slow spade]

what cpu?

[whole egret]

I played a few rounds today. It wasn't terrible. Different, but not terrible

[rocky current]

You're not wrong lol. Usually cosmetics is what majority of anyone goes nuts after nowadays

[kindred cedar]

part of my job involves importing photomodels of different layers of dirt with stone in them into unity to make models of excavations. And our stuff looks better than this. i can't blame unity for this lol

[scenic plinth]

I remember when I could run the game on vr with a 2070 and it ran perfectly fine and now with a 5080, vr gives me such bad headaches with the lag. They havent changed that much to warrant that big of a shift pfft

[dry harness]

I love your optimism, really gonna get you places

[lilac summit]

LITERALLY

[naive dust]

Don't get your hopes up, they spent all that time making... this

[atomic moss]

DC'd right before getting to leave in the van. This is such a bad update. They need to fix it

[slow spade]

below 60fps is MAD

[rain oxide]

i see i have kinda contradicted myself haha.

[rough fern]

anyone else getting booted out of your private lobby?

[smoky sparrow]

that happened to my group like 3 times in a row

[tiny anvil]

just give them another month 2 months to make the game MAYBE playable!

[dry harness]

Good concept but yeah if you havent played yet please do not hate on us complaining

[viral hemlock]

i think you should boot up the game then because it is hard to complete a full game without someone crashing

[burnt loom]

how is this update even got approved , its so clunky and buggy

[finite frigate]

make it 3 months

[fringe latch]

yea im lagging on willow street one of the smallest fking map btw like they actually chopped the game

[covert obsidian]

i just got kicked three times

[tame cradle]

It'll be fixed in the horror 2.0 update.

[atomic moss]

more like another few years

[rancid rune]

if the update is so bad they're probably either going to drop an emergency patch and or rollback

[lilac summit]

Just like how quickly they fixed grafton!! Or bone glitched... oh wait they're still "working" on that one

[iron cairn]

Nothing scarier than this update

[slow spade]

True....

[fringe latch]

The real horror 2.0 was this update

[tiny anvil]

this game is built on "trust me bros" and it never gets fulfilled

[finite frigate]

this might have been the horror 2.0 update tbh. Im scared enough as it is

[dry harness]

Trust me bro we get consistent patches that DEFNITELY work

[tame cradle]

Exactly what I said as a joke, might aswell just rebrand it at this point and call it good.

[rancid rune]

it just seems like you're all acting like the entire team behind this game will suddenly forget how to do anything except eat fucking paint and stare at grass

[lilac summit]

Phas NEVER glitches right right, my bad

[finite frigate]

think everyone just thought the same thing

[bright ivy]

horror 2.0 is they shut the game down and take off with the money. horrifying

[atomic moss]

I would honestly prefer a rollback and they figure this out because a roblox dev could do something better atp

[dry harness]

EXACTTLY seamless gamplay with NO timeouts and NO bugs

[kindred cedar]

because it genuinely appears that that is what has happened

[iron cairn]

I mean if the actions show that's all they do...

[sharp moth]

“This is gore of my comfort character” is how I feel about seeing all this going down right now

[slow spade]

yeah....

[finite frigate]

look at lethal company. A roblox dev HAS done better

[pallid shale]

why the game is on sale, so sudden?

[sleek cradle]

Just a question how does the timer work if anyone knows

[tired pond]

Kinda joining late to this, but has anyone noticed connection issues and seemingly (?) spirit box issues?

[atomic moss]

I have lethal company but none of my group has it so kind of SOL there

[iron cairn]

It's just counting the game time, you manually count yourself

[lilac summit]

Just like Security Breach

[sleek cradle]

Thx

[finite frigate]

to trick people into giving them money just to not play the game

[scenic plinth]

Why is every good game handled so incompetently 😭 Minecraft updates have gotten so small and insignificant, Roblox is dying in every right, FNAF and Secret of the Mimic had the horrid VR launch, and now this update to Phas. Cant trust no games anymore to have good updates </3

[slow spade]

solo dev vs a team with well over 30 members

[mellow wraith]

how do we get badges back

[thin nymph]

update works fine in a 4 stack for me, idk how ur guys games are crashing

[iron cairn]

Next update will come with age verification to use voice chat, you watch

[dry harness]

What a crazy move, going on sale just as reviews start dropping to try and get as much money before they lose the game completely

[fossil shard]

multiplayer more like multiunplay-able

[lilac summit]

How many Phas devs are there?? If it's 30 I-

[finite frigate]

I genuinely encourage everyone here to look at the game Songs of Syx, which was made by one dev, and then say that "this update was too complicated to code! that was the issue!"

[silk bear]

This was the secret unveiling of Horror 2.0. Are you scared?

[scenic plinth]

I mean theyre in the UK right didnt they pass some crappy laws where devs have to do that eventually lmao

[slim haven]

games not crahing, the servers arent holding up so we are being disconnected

[crisp sigil]

my friend is playing in singleplayer without crashing right now but she turned her graphics settings down as low as possible 😭

[atomic leaf]

I think it’s at 44 members now

[fringe latch]

I mean they took 5 years to go into full access from early access, can’t be surprised they’re incapable of impressing us

[thick remnant]

how do you dare... to make such jokes without a dev reading them

[bright ivy]

knew the update was in a bad state so they wanted to bring in some more players to compensate maybe

[slow spade]

not 30 devs but their teams is way way far beyond being classed as indie

[kindred cedar]

plus or minus the football team?

[raven ivy]

why does it look like an underpaid intern made all these characters 🙃 there is very little customization for how hyped it was, just a head and skin tone...

[lilac summit]

44?? You gotta be kidding

[rough fern]

I got two play two games for a whole 40 seconds before getting D/C

[fluid quiver]

hey sorry, u guys know if phasmo servers are locally hosted or hosted by kinetic?

[slow spade]

yeah how many programmers do you know?

[bright ivy]

LOL

[lilac cedar]

hey guys is anyone's mic not working in game?

[scenic plinth]

The characters arent even that bad to me, idc how glitchy the 3rd person animations are but the first ones are so hurt by needing to have the body visible in first person

[dry harness]

New world record atp

[atomic leaf]

I could be off someone can check the game credits to verify maybe

[finite frigate]

those new 14 members are the private meatsuckers saying the update is good in this chat. Its like secret shoppers at walmart

[fringe latch]

Nothing works

[rocky current]

Alrighty Phascord, I am going to get off now. Best of luck to who will win the debate of the century.
"Just ignore that blatant issues and it's a good update" or "this is buggiest mess ever and shouldn't be in this state"

[devout belfry]

played just fine 4hrs ago now cant get a game in before Disconnect

[slow spade]

multiplayer is local host

[lilac summit]

Schedule 1 has 1 dev... it looks 10x better 😭😭

[atomic leaf]

there’s gotta be at least 8 surely

[tired pond]

Yeah, shows that I'm not talking but my friend heard me when we were playing, but spirit box doesn't pick it up

[iron cairn]

Stardew Valley made by one man. Perfect game.

[hallow mist]

yeaaah, 3 games in a row w/ client timeout, sounds lieke server complaints 🙁

[pallid shale]

I always play on VR, but now? its horrible, I was feeling special before

[slow spade]

it's just mad

[crisp sigil]

the game is just completely broken now

[tame cradle]

Schedule is amazing, they have polls to let the people decide! 😊

[lilac cedar]

my friend also heard me in game but when asking the spirit box, monkey paw ouija board etc it wouldnt pick up my voice so therefore i had to just use the text

[scenic plinth]

What changed with VR? Do you see your arms fully now?

[dry harness]

Fuck it im switching to Among us which somehow has better updates than ts

[fluid quiver]

nonstop DCs since the update lol

[rain oxide]

being a solo dev doesnt constitute not playtesting your game

[lilac summit]

THIS!! And it's only 1 guy!! Or maybe a few more since launch but phas has 44... no excuses tbh

[raven ivy]

I haven't even gotten into the game yet with friends, I just logged in and checked out the character stuff and it's all the same body type with just a new head and a color change on skin... kinda bland imo..

I wasn't expecting Ark level customization, but at least presets of body types as a minimum :\

[vital salmon]

Games trash

[atomic moss]

can I turn off the kill sound? That sounds terrible

[tough pulsar]

why do i keep disconnecting in multiplayer!!!!

[dry harness]

Invincible lowk has better animation than phasmo

[brazen spruce]

I joined the server just to see the game update hate lmfao

[crisp sigil]

i'm sat fr

[proven iron]

OPM S3

[rain oxide]

updates cool its the bugs

[iron cairn]

LMAO

[finite frigate]

there are PLENTY of games to demonstrate that the size of a dev team does not correlate to the quality of the game or the size of the updates. Solo dev games pushing updates which reworking the whole game now. Just lazy devs who accepted mediocrity

[tame cradle]

Phasmophobia went from 2M in admin costs to 5M, seems like the company grew but has nothing to show for it.

[vital salmon]

Ong

[dry harness]

Yeah you're in the right spot bro trust me

[bright ivy]

stable servers now just 25$! did we mention our “customization?”

[summer topaz]

3 easiest mathces of my life... Phanton Blinks, Next Game Hantu Breath, then next Game Hantu Breath Again :)

[pallid shale]

you see full body and use full arms...but thats it, they remove the belt, so now its practically impossible to grab items, no more animations like using your fingers or grab the door handles, or any animation at all, you cannot go across the walls anymore and other bugs with a lot of items, inclulding the journal. trust me, VR got same bugs or even worse than the normal players

[tired pond]

This is just the first day, so hopefully it will get fixed soon

[vast flicker]

Looks like they're hiring a new Senior Technical Artists and a Senior Multiplayer programmer. A little late, but i admire the initiative

[kindred cedar]

or someone wanted a 3 mil salary hike

[scenic plinth]

I really thought there would be more 😭 I get that like its new and the library will grow over time but like FOUR OPTIONS FOR HAIR?? AND THAT BEING JUST THE COLOR YOU CANT EVEN SWAP THE HAIR ON CERTAIN BODIES??? Like omlll its still better than the og characters but jgvhjkrsdfgv they couldve done a little better

[lilac summit]

That's so frustrating holy crap. Never knew that

[iron cairn]

They took away my VR belt 😭

[dry harness]

Oh you could play a game, how????

[tame cradle]

You can see their full accounts on UK companies house if you look up kinetic games.

[finite frigate]

remember those 14 new devs i described earlier? This might be one....

[brazen spruce]

😂

[iron cairn]

It all just goes in their pockets, not put back in the game

[ashen cloud]

when you get that perfect ghost pic then the game kicks you 😍

[rough fern]

my GF chose blonde hair and her character kept the black hair LMFAO

[atomic leaf]

9 programmers, 9 artists, and 9 QA lmao

[lilac summit]

That makes me so mad. Where if the money going??

[scenic plinth]

It makes me so sad that theyve neglected vr over time. Theres no other vr game quite like this and its why I got the game but for the past few YEARS theres been legit like no positives over flat

[pallid shale]

im sorry brother, but sadly, thats not the only thing they took. they took our dreams too

[bright ivy]

LOL

[raven ivy]

right?! I feel like we weren't asking for much... just something that was a little less... from a university student project... this isn't even B-grade quality... 😭

[summer topaz]

I can play LOL

[finite frigate]

the ghost took my legs when i walked out of the garage too

[iron cairn]

Going in with 0% sanity so my character has to suffer too

[lilac summit]

I- bruh they should've done so much better then

[vast flicker]

I guess when there's no more money in the game, you move to publishing

[atomic moss]

Trying apoc and it's giving us snow when we selected heavy rain. Literally unplayable because of all the glitches.

[atomic leaf]

wait 8 QA shuee isn’t one anymore I forgot

[summer topaz]

wym?

[crisp sigil]

did u guys hear the ghost can go out the side doors on the high school

[tame cradle]

You can see their assets grew and their money in the bank aswell. They're pocketing it instead of reinvesting it.

[pallid shale]

I know, I heard somebody said that the game was priority for VR before, but it doesnt look like it anymore

[dry harness]

I have not been able to get through a single round without being D/C within 30 seconds

[vital salmon]

Rip Phasmophobia 2020 - 2026 🙏 🪦

[slow spade]

say they work a 9-5: ~6hrs of actual time to work in a day: 48hrs across all of them. The last update was 16 business days ago meaning they had ATLEAST 700 hours of programming. For this. idk bro

[summer topaz]

weird

[rustic lotus]

I bought the necklace in the character customizer but it won’t let me equip it. there is a lock on it still. Why?

[finite frigate]

Phasmo devs gonna use the sale and update to farm as much money as they can before selling phasmo to EA or Bungie

[lilac summit]

I don't like this rock, it's pissing me off

[dry harness]

HUH???? Has this not happened to you. That is the largest complaint of all right now is people not being able to make it thorugh a singel game no matter how good their PC is???

[slow spade]

wait sorry. I forgot the hourly holiday entitlement

[quasi moat]

anyone getting more lag and stuttering when crouching?

[kindred cedar]

EA would have handled this better

that was not praise for EA

[iron cairn]

ROBERT

[vital salmon]

Im watching Phasmophobia die in real time this shi crazy

[summer topaz]

No Im streaming rn and playing???

[finite frigate]

EA at least delivers what they promise, its just they promise hilariously bad things

[scenic plinth]

Also yknow I personally havent felt a performance hit this update but every item lags behind my movements, like turning the camera and it makes it feel like its running at 30 fps </3

[dry harness]

Multiplayer or single??

[eager tundra]

10 games, 9 crashes, 0 devs played this shitshow

[grave musk]

getting more lag when i open the journal, turn on night vis goggles, and literally everything

[vital salmon]

Preach

[pallid shale]

Did you guys think they actually gonna fix all the problems before alan wake AKA next week? Idk

[kindred cedar]

they are at least aware that people might at some point like to play the game that they own

[grave bronze]

Exactly this, so annoying

[lilac summit]

So many people have gained a community bc of this game and it's all going to crap. Time for Roblox ig

[summer topaz]

SP

[lofty nest]

Uh, hey guys, what's with the dumpster fire?

[brazen spruce]

No lmao

[tame cradle]

It's unfortunate, but in today's subscription based greed. Phasmophobia isn't making much money anymore after console release. They don't really have a reason to care about what people like/dislike because they're no longer profiting off of people who already own the game.

[slate mesa]

definitely not all but hopefully a lot of the big ones

[vital salmon]

Its just Phasmophobia

[iron cairn]

Maybe the real game all along was the devs playing with our feelings 😔

[quiet flame]

Same onto Roblox 😹

[dry harness]

Makes sense but thats still an issue for some people in single player. There is a crazy amount of timeouts that have been happening. I'm glad youre getting through games tho, have fun man

[snow gazelle]

is anyone else getting disconected?

[tame cradle]

Not justifying DLC or paid content, but that's just my thought.

[lilac summit]

And it's STILL in early release... girl how

[buoyant gale]

“Devs” and “playing” don’t work in the same sentence since they don’t do that

[jaunty furnace]

The roblox knockoff is better atp

[pallid shale]

maybe the real update is the friends we made along the way

[glacial carbon]

yeah also what is this animations..

[hazy hamlet]

have yall seen someone crouch and look up it's so funny

[lofty nest]

Okay, seriously, wtf is making people panic? Jesus Christ the update just dropped.

[rough fern]

everyone except for maye 1 person so far

[dry harness]

Every single time yeah

[kindred cedar]

no. in some ways i almost hope they don't. because if they do, it means all of these issues were fixable in literally just one week and yet no one thought to do anything about them for the entirety of this update's development

[iron cairn]

Because it's that bad

[hazy hamlet]

my friends are but i havent so far

[vital salmon]

Atleast we can all come together ❤️

[snow gazelle]

yeah im trying to play with my friends and we all are getting disconected

[iron cairn]

Gonna start calling this a downdate

[kindred jacinth]

yes, me and some friends disconnected like 10 times before just going to play a roblox version

[hazy hamlet]

but they crash after like 5 mins in a match and at the same time and im just left alone

[buoyant gale]

Pause

[tame cradle]

Are you and your friends all on steam?

[molten sable]

downgrade

[scenic plinth]

Why does everyone wanna deal with the "release unfinished, fix later" mentallity, especially with Phas. They plan to make this out of early access by the end of the year, this game is now in the top 50 best sold games of all time, and we are getting an update that includes 100s of bugs that make the game so much worse to play

[vital salmon]

Resume? 😂

[snow gazelle]

nah im on ps5

[lofty nest]

Can we just treat this like any other update? It's rough, obviously, and I'm sure they've already seen everyone's problems.

[lilac summit]

Is mercury in the microwave??

[vital salmon]

Bro must be a undercover dev

[molten sable]

waiting till may 12 is annoying

[dry harness]

We found more of the secret shoppers guys

[scarlet gulch]

anyone else having problems with client timeout?

[iron cairn]

It wasn't like it brought in good stuff with a few bugs, they literally broke everything, and added in new stuff and broke that too

[hazy hamlet]

yes lots of people

[snow gazelle]

yeah its happening to everyone

[kindred cedar]

i cannot treat it like any other update because i could play every other update. i was in fact looking forward to treating this like every other update and laughing at the new bugs. but i cannot play this one because my vision is not good enough to see the equipment and journal when its held 20 feet away from my character model

[rough fern]

"rough" doesn't cover it, it's literally unplayable

[lofty nest]

I wish. I'm just a 40 year-old guy that's seen games break on updates and give them a few days for an explanation or a fix before I go all torch and pitchfork on them.

[iron cairn]

What is this, a thermometer for ants?

[summer topaz]

Thanks!Q

[lilac summit]

I think I saw one single person like it

[snow gazelle]

nah i dont like this new update imo the animations are weird i like the old ones better

[hazy hamlet]

i think it's alright but i'm also not one of the people crashing or seeing many bugs so regarding that no

[grave musk]

THEY DELETED OUR MESSAGES

[dry harness]

No problemo!! Lemme know if the Raiju heartbeats are fixed for you cause that was a problem I was experiencing!!

[vital salmon]

I agree but its not playable bro 😕

[glacial carbon]

they deleted?? lol

[scenic plinth]

I mean fair point, I do really hope the devs respond asap on this and at least say "Hey!! We're gonna fix as much as we can!!" The longer the silence goes, the worse itll get. No doubt all the devs have seen the hate

[inland panther]

has anyone played as zara? for me her breath when she runs out of stamina is the male breath

[vast flicker]

I haven't used my laptop in a while. I'm gonna rip the network card out and play some good old phas on steam offline

[grave musk]

phasmophobia staff what did we do to get our messages deleted???

[lilac summit]

On discord?? No they aren't, you're probably just sending messages too fast. We're on slow mode

[lofty nest]

Well, full transparency I haven't played a round yet. I'll give tanglewood a run real fast.

[tender mural]

So anyone else disconnecting a lot

[vital salmon]

Speak facts

[rugged kraken]

peoples chats are getting deleted

[brazen spruce]

bruh

[hazy hamlet]

everyone

[zinc coyote]

[dry harness]

Good luck, but its rough

[iron cairn]

They're trying to SILENCE US

[summer topaz]

bored bc I have nobnody to talk to tho soo....

[autumn grail]

seems everyone else is having severe framerate issues, lagging out of lobbies, and having the game crash

[grave musk]

no no i sent a message, got a screenshot of it and now its GONE THEY ARE TRYING TO SILENCE THEIR COMMUNITY

[tender mural]

That's annoying I just found out the ghost got to the exit then disconnected

[glacial carbon]

the animations are litteral garbage

[tame cradle]

They clearly don't like the idea of people downloading older versions.

[molten sable]

BRO I cant fuckin understand
the animation for the T1 Flashlight- ITS PERFECT. Why are the other tiers so fuckin cursed?

[zinc coyote]

Not everyone but a lot

[hazy hamlet]

it's weird cuz it's not happening to me? and i dont know what'd be different about me

[rugged kraken]

someone was saying you can revert game version and it got deleted

[scenic plinth]

Share your opinion afterwards. Im always someone who can deal with a game changing update so the game can be better in the end, but this is a really scary precedent they set for the future going forward. Ive played the games for years and have loved every change besides this update tbh

[iron cairn]

Hows the glowstick tasting now 🙁

[kindred cedar]

i'm still on slow mode in general-chat because discord is having issues too 🫠 timer's frozen at :02 and has been for a hot second lmfao

[vital salmon]

To many of us to silence

[tender mural]

True

[zinc coyote]

No shiwshy sound :( im sad

[iron cairn]

Charge, gents! They can't take us all! 🤺

[grave bronze]

I agree of course with that mentality, but there's some pretty big decisions in this update that aren't just minor bugs that are disappointing. Some things they're addressing which is good, but others will be much harder to change due to the new viewmodels. And for a lot of people, I think it's fair that they're disappointed considering how long they've been waiting for the update and how slim it is on things like customisation content. I think that's why the update has made such an impact.

[vital salmon]

This one got me

[pallid shale]

the devs know they made a mistake, of course they know, but its hard to understand their reasons, we need more transparency or atleast, some honesty, but idk

[vast flicker]

They aren't trying to silence us. They just don't understand what the person was saying. You can only downgrade to a previous version if the devs allow it. Someone probably thought they were talking about hacking

[lilac summit]

Dude so many of us have been criticizing for so long, they literally can't "silence us" most messages at least are getting through. Not to mention the review bombing on Steam

[molten sable]

Like i really want to know what happened

[plush mountain]

From what I understand, downpatching your game isn't against Steam rules at all, but it will get you banned from the Discord if they see it.

[glacial carbon]

m2

[hasty iron]

So we cant talk to each other when we are dead now???

[hazy hamlet]

people are review bombing???

[autumn grail]

I also have potato pc so its been much worse for me, im hoping they add an option to remove the way the player interacts with items in the inventory and the surroundings becuase it makes me go from like 45ish frames to like 25

[lilac summit]

Take a look for yourself

[sacred portal]

Looks like the servers are overloaded rn?

[fringe latch]

The state of the server rn

[dry harness]

Yeah it went from Overwhelmingly positive to mostly positive just today

[molten sable]

btw is the voice chat in the game broken? my mic isnt being detected

[iron cairn]

Get them recent reviews to overwhelmingly negative lmfao

[hazy hamlet]

i just did and wow

[grave musk]

i just want them to revert every change execpt for the characters

[vital salmon]

Biggest flop of 2026

[lilac summit]

Yerp 😅

[maiden cypress]

I dont think it counts as review bombing if people are leaving honest reviews 💔

Will change my review if anything Gets fixed beyond actually game altering bugs <33

[lucid grail]

Is it not the Immersive Animations toggle in the options?

[lofty nest]

Ew. What did they do to the shop?

[autumn grail]

the fact i cant spam click the emf when i run inside the house with it upsets me, i like the clicky clicky noise, lmaooooo

[tame cradle]

Gonna get GTA VI before the "patches" at this point.

[slow spade]

Just don't say how to

[brazen spruce]

Now your gettin it

[vital salmon]

You get it now

[fringe latch]

More like what did they do to the game

[lilac summit]

TRUE I just more meant that it's getting a lot of bad reviews all at once

[charred hound]

No update should be released in the state that this one was released, and it’s imperative that it’s made clear to the devs that this is just utterly unacceptable. The “fix it later” mentality WILL kill the game, and this update is an example of that

[autumn grail]

i didnt see an option to turn it off tbh, i looked but all i know is my game was slow af making ti hard to do much

[iron cairn]

LOL the steam review graph taking a fucking nosedive

[maiden cypress]

I encourage everyone to leave Honest and Polite reviews about the update, that rating is one of the best ways to show how we feel about an update.

[toxic torrent]

Steam forced the update on me and yeah, it's bad.

[vital salmon]

There funny asf thoe

[pallid shale]

maybe we need a sacrifice

[tame cradle]

They don't care until their profits nosedive.

[lilac summit]

I would be more polite if I didn't know that Kenetic had millions of dollars and 44 person dev team

[toxic torrent]

They'll probably have that fixed in about a week maybe????

[vital salmon]

I volunteer @lofty nest

[maiden cypress]

The polite part is mostly Abt death threats etc lmao

[terse ginkgo]

how do i change models ^_^

[brazen spruce]

Wild bro

[lilac summit]

Who the hell is doing that?? Omg that's insane

[toxic torrent]

I'm playing in vr and my body is tiny

[pallid shale]

good luck trying to grab your items

[vital salmon]

I took the day off for this bro

[molten sable]

let it die man

[rugged kraken]

i don't care if i get banned ill say what i have too. we did it to war thunder we can do it to phas review bombing could be our only way

[lofty nest]

For the record, I'm playing my first round and I'll let everyone know what I think. Just don't sacrifice me until then.

[trim light]

What is going on with all the disconnecting from lobby? 4 games in a row, 3 out of 4 players got booted

[toxic torrent]

Yeah no shit, I'll got back to skyrim

[tame cradle]

While waiting on the patch, who wants to play the board game? 🫠

[pallid shale]

based

[vital salmon]

Will see 👀 😂

[pulsar hazel]

I was so excited to get home after a terrible day at work to play after the update 🥹😭 just made it worse 😂

[lilac summit]

The $109 board game?? No thanks!!

[candid quiver]

I had a great day and then I played phasmophobia one time

[dry harness]

Same bro I just came from an AP Chem test and wanted to play ts. Its all over

[grave musk]

people keep getting disconnected, crashing, bugs, and overall it feels like someone pirated the game and made their own bad version

[tame cradle]

No character customization on the board game though. Luckily hehe.

[peak ore]

that's about average for a high end boutique board game nowadays

[maiden cypress]

Guys im sick of this game ill actually summon something in my room Does anyone wanna try to hunt it on video chat /j

[brazen spruce]

F. I feel for you

[vital salmon]

I love you guys 😂 this chat has been funnier then the damn game

[pallid shale]

did anybody know what the streamers or partners have said about this update?

[lucid grail]

In Game options, third from the bottom. Might not turn off everything that needs off though. The hands are stuttering for me outside of anims.

[molten sable]

YO SAME i had a NSL Gov test today and i got home to ts

[atomic moss]

Worst gameplay issues caused by an update since I got the game in 2023

[brazen spruce]

They got the 45 pointed at their heads i dont think they can

[slow spade]

I think this is our punishment because no one bought the $109 board game lol

[terse ginkgo]

hi guys i cant find the change character option pls help ^_^

[charred hound]

Go to the computer and select the customization app. It’ll open to the character models I think? I admittedly didn’t spend much time in the character customization

[grave musk]

would be better gameplay than the actual game atp 😭

[lilac summit]

LMAO Right

[vital salmon]

Lore accurate fact

[maiden cypress]

This is so true i watched a few and its all fake smiles and "haha it looks funny it is funny Guys PLEASE IT IS FUNNY AND GOOFY PLEASE BELIEVE ME"

[terse ginkgo]

s thanks :D

[tame cradle]

A full poker set is cheaper than the stupid game haha.

[pulsar hazel]

I got off after one game and just cried for a while lmfao my body just couldn’t handle the disappointment! 🥹

[brazen spruce]

Lmfaoooo fr

[candid quiver]

I played on ridgeview which is my favorite map and I still had an awful time. Can't imagine how bad it must be for people who played brownstone or prison first 😬

[whole current]

wtf happened why does everyone hate the update

[autumn grail]

if i play again in the next couple days ill check that out, however, im gonna hold off playing for a few days in case the update gets reworked, reversed, or an update to help with framerate gets dropped. Thx for the info on that tho

[maiden cypress]

Would a crocheted oujia board work you think?

[lilac summit]

I streamed this, and I went OFF several times every time someone asked for my genuine opinion. It's just not good

[bright ivy]

ridgeview supremacy

[grave musk]

yeah

[forest juniper]

It keeps kicking me off mid game !?

[vital salmon]

Atleast they can't ruin that with an update

[candid quiver]

At least Sprint crouch is still a thing. That's good

[golden sentinel]

Is it just me or this update made the game funnier 😂

[proper cloud]

there's no way phas stonks can go any further down, surely

[ocean blade]

whos enjoying the new update?

[atomic moss]

parabolic microphone is unusable too. This absolutely sucks.

[forest juniper]

UPDATE IS ASS why is it kicking me ? Stg.

[kindred cedar]

ive been looking forward to this update for so long and was so excited when it was announced. it made me so sad

[rocky bison]

that's where im at, I find all the bugs and stuff funny

[candid quiver]

Nobody. Not even an over exaggeration. Not a single person likes this update

[vital salmon]

Join in on the hate let it flow through you

[golden sentinel]

Dude I had a sideways flashlight I never seen that before 😂

[pulsar hazel]

Hopefully they fix it soon

[maiden cypress]

I couldnt even finish a game i was so frustrated with stuff not dropping where i wanted them to, animations taking their sweet time, the video camera being on my face more than my brother when he needs money AND god the salt why the salt takes that long

[vast flicker]

Some content creators are pretending to like it lol

[lilac summit]

It would be funny if they didn't have 44 devs and millions of dollars, as well as all the time in the world to make something good

[vital salmon]

Rip my characters wrist bro 😪

[pallid shale]

I imagine the meme of spongebob about the old guy just chilling saying " i like the update" and everyone is trying to beat him up

[atomic moss]

They don't plan to do anything until the Alan Wake collab that I honestly hope the people from Alan Wake pull out of

[forest juniper]

F the game at this point. They knew better than to release this trash. Insym said expect bugs.. it’s literally unplayable.

[rocky bison]

It's literally just my opinion

[tender flax]

anyone else having trouble with asking the monkey paw things?

[dim needle]

Does anyone else find the text too small to read properly now?

[tacit robin]

30 devs million dollar company and being outclassed by roblox devs

[tame cradle]

Shame on them though, alot of devs would kill to have a massive fanbase like this.

[novel pollen]

I love the update, but farming media has become much harder.

[lilac summit]

Wasn't dissing you, just adding /gen

[vital salmon]

Yes yes good Anakin good

[grave bronze]

So real, hoping it improves though

[forest juniper]

I CANT EVEN PLAY IT! having trouble — this working? Man no nothing is working FOR ANYONE

[atomic moss]

Mics aren't recognized in the game right now at all

[plain mica]

Its funny for sure, but then I remember I paid money for it.

[rocky bison]

gotcha, yeah, I just find the overall update amusing.It's giving me some enjoyment during finals week

[golden sentinel]

Dawg like it was phasing through the floor it was amazing I honestly enjoyed the update i thought it was fun finding what was broken and abusing it till it went away 😂

[ocean blade]

i like the broken wrists it reminds me of my childhoood

[tender flax]

thank you

[analog widget]

-trello

[prime elk]

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.

[vital salmon]

😂😂😂 yall to much

[lilac summit]

Yayyy!! Glad you can find the joy in all this!! /gen

[odd knoll]

ps5 fellow people has anyone else had the issue of it just disconnecting as soon as you left the van? we couldnt even play a round tonight

[tame cradle]

NO MORE UPDATES PLEASE, WE HAVE SEEN ENOUGH.

[rocky bison]

All the crazy bugs and especially sunny meadows restricted gives me a well needed break from the stress of studying

[kindred cedar]

the trello board is kinda fun cause you can see how long they took on this

[maiden cypress]

YES. Actually bad for accesibility cuz like guess who is half blind and really doesnt wanna squint and lean in to read???? Me. Also sound recorder (t3) sound indicator is so faint i could barely see it

[hollow blaze]

how do i change my character now?

[candid quiver]

The new animations were super unnecessary.

[dry harness]

PLEASE GOD NO

[vital salmon]

😂😂😂 kill em

[cunning lynx]

even happening on pc

[placid oyster]

is the new update also messing with anyone eyes the way it changes brightness a lot when switching between journal and stuff like it just hurts to look at the way it changes so frequently

[golden sentinel]

At this point bro put the whole game on the list 😭

[glossy rain]

anyone having trouble changing their character? I picked one and I'm unable to save

[dim needle]

Even Squinting didn't help with some of the words, I've got pretty good vision and it's so hard to read

[hollow blaze]

This was happening to me before the update

[lilac summit]

That actually makes me happy to hear, I hope you can continue enjoying the game!!

[glacial carbon]

no thanks

[vital salmon]

Im sending you my therapist bill

[placid oyster]

it was happening to me before the update too but now it's way worse somehow cause of all the new animations

[maiden cypress]

I regret clicking cuz my brain goes 'how could they pull off the worst case scenerio for this entry"

[night folio]

if you have eye adaptation on i'd recommend turning it off

[glacial carbon]

take back the update.

[odd knoll]

so frustrating like i would be able to deal with the janky animations but i cant even get in to play a game

[rocky bison]

I think I spent a solid 5 to 10 minutes laughing about how broken sunny meadows restricted is

[hollow blaze]

how do i change my character

[golden sentinel]

Hey guys, just want everyone to know they worked on this update for 2 years btw

[dim needle]

The update definitely needs more time in the oven

[placid oyster]

is that ssomething on console i can change?

[candid quiver]

"now, we have a big collaboration event pretty soon. Any ideas on how to make it more enjoyable?"
"Add new slow animations and suck the soul out of the game"
"Great idea!"

[zealous crater]

Awful

[vocal flame]

Honestly I don't know why everyone's being so like dramatic about this.

Sure I don't think it should've been released rn but it was so just gotta deal w/ it and let them work out updates to improve.

idk its confusingme

[whole egret]

The same screen you access in order to go to the shop

[glacial carbon]

dang it.. i dont really care my game is ruined

[odd knoll]

go over like your going down to the shop and it should be towards the bottom of the left side for customization

[lilac summit]

The neck thing while crouching took me out for a bit I gotta admit

[night folio]

it should be in the setting at the very bottom of graphics

[glossy anvil]

Unpopular opinion I like the customization, I’m just sad I can’t play! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

[maiden cypress]

Are we sure this update was by actual devs and not from like 2-3 unpaid interns with 2010 Dell laptops?

[pallid shale]

did you guys think the devs are like all happy and proud giving each other pats on the back of each other, congratulating each other because they release an "incredible" update that the community is gonna love and they went to bed to sleep like champions?

[golden sentinel]

That’s if you can get to it without the game dying 😂

[candid quiver]

Huh???

[whole egret]

[odd knoll]

customization was great! lol im in the same boat

[hollow blaze]

OMG! i just want ghost to do what they're suppose too, not some dumb update. Why don't we have a backpack for single player....

[rocky bison]

My friend was crouching up-and-down and spinning in circles, and his legs were doing crazy stuff

[maiden cypress]

The legs yearn for ballet

[long dirge]

customization looks good, but there are some minor glitchs, for instance when changing the finger ring colours

[atomic moss]

Atp, I want to ask steam for a refund even though I have 400+ hours in this game

[hardy current]

has the game been disconnecting you guys too?

[naive dust]

Oof

[golden sentinel]

Nobody hates the cosmetics it’s the game 😭

[lilac summit]

When they have that many people and $5Mil to work with and they give us slop... welllllll

[odd knoll]

i will give it another go tomorrow

[sacred mulch]

Bro i was playing with my friends and now our game crashes every 10 minutes bruh has anyone elses game been crashing?

[candid quiver]

The customization is cool, but the animations are the worst thing they've added imo.

[vital salmon]

Its annoying when you can't play a game especially when a new update comes out thats supposed to be game breaking and it literally breaks the game

[untold grove]

So is it just me or disconnecting common?

[scenic plinth]

I think it's lacking but it's certainly not something annoying me rn, it's just the animations of the items and how they work that changes the flow completely

[glossy anvil]

Got the kids to bed, the husband got home, we were excited. Gave up trying after the 5th crash. 😆

[winter steeple]

does someone know why the game won't load after "initializing" after the newest update?

[whole egret]

The ghosts were pretty on par today for me. As for the backpack thing, I suspect they don't want us to have access to so much gear all at once, but it would definitely be nice to have

[maiden cypress]

Also why the hairs look so much like wigs in female models the hairline is ON THE CROWN OF THE HEAD lmao

[mild dust]

is it just me or can we not even change our id card lmfao

[atomic moss]

Yup. They've made the game completely unplayable. Disconnects for everyone all the time.

[golden sentinel]

I think that’s a blessing

[rocky bison]

I've only had one disconnect issue

[odd knoll]

i know they said they were fixing bugs next week but i hope to god there going to fix the crashing before then though

[tame cradle]

44 devs and why is this game still in early access?

[candid quiver]

The game crashes 24/7, items bug out, and the game is just not fun right now.

[lilac summit]

God I with instead of saying they were "making the game more realistic" they just admitted they were breaking it more for funnies

[pallid shale]

did you guys think they will add a patch tomorrow?

[untold grove]

I haven't completed a single game lol crashed.. every time..

[glossy anvil]

Yeah I haven’t had a chance to experience any of that, we couldn’t even get out of the van before we got kicked.

[vocal flame]

I honestly think they should've beta tested longer but yk, I don't hate the game at all. I will still be playing it in its buggy nature knowing theres gonna be updates to improve

[placid oyster]

is it chromatic abberation?

[whole egret]

I haven't gotten disconnected once today so it's a hit or miss issue

[hollow blaze]

thank you very much @whole egret for helping me

[golden sentinel]

There’s 44 devs I thought there was 4?

[candid quiver]

if you played this update, you'll know why.

[sacred mulch]

Is anyones games have been crashing or disconnecting?

[long dirge]

VR is now a bit more.. clanky, arms looks strange, there's some oclusion with the body, but i suppose is going to be improved in the following updates

[odd knoll]

i honestly dont see how they cant theres so many people that cant even play right now

[vital salmon]

They released this quick figured they like rushing things out

[maiden cypress]

Im getting convinced that devs were hanging out in office while unpaid interns did this on a 2010 Dell laptop

[mild dust]

i can’t even change my id card lol

[brazen spruce]

Revert to the last version. Id pray for that

[lilac summit]

I love this game, but seeing the devs not care about it or the community is frustrating

[distant pine]

i am scared to play

[steady ridge]

I doubt it as they said things would be fixed next week, but maybe for the disconnecting issues

[tiny belfry]

time to play demonologist!

[tame cradle]

Sounds fair, but what about the 5M in admin costs?

[vital salmon]

U should be

[uncut knoll]

From my guess the next update will be next week with the Alan Wake collab

[whole egret]

I think once the fixes start rolling out people will feel better about everything

[odd knoll]

if you can load in i say your lucky

[rocky bison]

Yeah, seeing the game so broken in my opinion is super funny and I love it, yes, the updated is problematic, but I just play for my own enjoyment

[night folio]

no it should be eye adaptation, it makes the journal really bright and then the game is dark when you leave, afaik console has it? but i admitedly don't play on console

[vocal flame]

Hey I get that, I was staff of a pretty popular roblox game and I had to become admin to deliver the news that it was discontinued 😭 The disappointment was immeasurable but it happens.

[vital salmon]

WHEN WE CAN PLAY THE GAME LIKE YESTERDAY WE WILL STOP HATING

[distant pine]

i’ll find out when my friends finish work 😭 i play ps5 and i heard someone’s game kept crashing every round

[candid quiver]

I will never forgive whoever thought it would be a good idea to add slow inconvenient animations

[odd knoll]

i just hope they patch it before then because this is insane

[maiden cypress]

Well yknow "supervising" interns is hard work and occosionally the laptop has a problem and someone needs to tell the interns "its fine the smoke is a feature"

[mild dust]

this is chaos xd

[uncut knoll]

The problem is this shouldn't have been released, it is so obvious how many issues there are with this update, and so many of them are so easily encounterable.

[lilac summit]

I'm so glad!!! Genuinely!!

[whole egret]

I agree, but we can't go back in time. We can only hope for a better future

[kindred cedar]

i am super glad someone is having fun with it

[pallid shale]

Who ask the monkey paw for a new and innovative patch? now, these are the consequences of your wish!

[odd knoll]

thats the issue me and the wife had tonight. made it to the van went to open the van doors and it kicked us out more than once we eventually just gave up

[golden sentinel]

They had years to test this update and it’s this bad I get bugs but like this was just lazy work

[lilac summit]

I REALLY hope they learn from this all

[distant pine]

didn’t they say a lot of the known issues are getting fixed with the AW update ?

[slow spade]

Only reason i can think of is that this game started out as a small passion project by DK- I don't think he ever expected the game to grow this big so the existing architecture isnt able to scal4 very well — its like their trying to build a skyscraper ontop of a bungalow

[uncut knoll]

They need a better QA Team (If there even is one)

[tame cradle]

Bet DK pays himself a salary aswell.

[placid oyster]

damn it i just checked its not but thanks for the info anyways hopefully they add it soon

[mild dust]

i can’t wait til play it on friday night i hope it still has some funny bugs lmfao

[kindred cedar]

~~also - its nice to see someone who likes the update saying a thing they like about it instead of just insulting the people that don't like it ~~

[odd knoll]

for the love of god if horror 1.0 is not ready like this was not ready please dont release it till its done

[candid quiver]

I was excited for horror 2.0... but after this.... Idk man

[untold grove]

Could be done

[maiden cypress]

Sanity is not the only limiting factor in game time anymore, it is "try to finish a game before a crash or better, getting the cant connect to multiplayer error Challenge"

[lilac summit]

Money corrupts

[vital salmon]

The devs when they realized it was may 5th

[night folio]

ah k, sorry i couldn't help

[rocky bison]

I just play to have fun with my friends and mess around, i don't even really try most times

[icy wren]

Is anyone else disconnecting constantly RN or is it just me

[untold grove]

Did they update the ghost models recently?

[placid oyster]

nah its all good just means console needs an update on that lol

[glossy anvil]

Same 🤣

[odd knoll]

i had such high hopes to because all of the holiday updates and the events were so much fun since i have been on

[whole egret]

No

[tame cradle]

I see that, they got most of money the could out of us.

[vocal flame]

I also like the update, not liking SOME things but I do like a big part of it

some parts are a funny dislike; like how does a jacket cost 10k what did we make it with 😭 lol

[lofty nest]

Okay, I just ran my first round. Yeah, it's a bit of a rough one. I'm going to wait a few days before I light my torches, though.

[ruby badger]

Well after the update you can’t really do that rn so

[rocky bison]

The fact that the jackets cost $10000 is pretty funny

[untold grove]

Everyone or at least a good chunk of us bro, I haven't completed a single round.

[lilac summit]

Perfectly valid!!!

[past pier]

My wife and I are playing, and have never been disconnected before with 150+ hours of gameplay. We've both disconnected multiple times across 3 games

[high oxide]

And the pants, too

[odd knoll]

best response

[vital salmon]

You must be sacrificed by dawn sorry it had to be this way

[grave bronze]

Yeah for as much as I don't like the update, it's nice to see some people are enjoying it. Glad some good things came from it.

[maiden cypress]

Honestly my expectations are rn from horror 2.0:
-Ghosts now can kill you in home base.
-All evidence can remove itself from the evidence pool.
-The jumpscary scream sound will loop forever.
-Walking towards this one bed will teleport you to backrooms, however devs didnt actually finish the backrooms so you get a white screen

[tame cradle]

And the devs want to make people wait until the 12th for a fix.

[lilac summit]

LMAO

[uncut knoll]

I love the direction they're going in with this, but they really dropped the ball on it.

[untold grove]

I was watching my girl play, since I got disconnected and I STG the ghost chased her out the front door and was staring at her, made the door slam and it was staring at her from the hallway... it looked like a robed person in white.

[golden sentinel]

Imagine little Timmy just got this game and he sees this update and thinks wow this game looks amazing and see this shit 😭

[lofty nest]

I did like the fact my mimic didn't give freezing temps as an evidence. And the headlamp seemed to obe a bit brighter than before.

[rocky bison]

I also know before the update dropped there was a glitch with high school, and the ghost could leave the map

[maiden cypress]

They are an itsy bitsy indie company they need time 👉👈🥺

[distant pine]

TOS needs to drop on console 💀

[tame cradle]

My expectations from horror 2.0

BSOD instead of crashing

[whole egret]

Did she have long, black hair?

[golden sentinel]

They had 2 years btw

[kind quarry]

and millions of dollars

[lilac summit]

Remember it's 1.0 now

[mild dust]

they should have pushed this out in June and we coulda been satisfied with the alan wake event next week

[fading jackal]

you know you fucked up when your memes channel just turns into the screenshots channel

[uncut knoll]

I am trying to be appreciative of the update still, this is a free update that has no microtransactions. So theres that, it needs a LOT of polishing though

[untold grove]

Don't know, it was creepy asf, never saw anything like it.. it looked like a cultist in a white robe, she didn't get close enough lol

[naive dust]

I was excited for horror 2.0 back in '23

[tame cradle]

Do they have a gofundme or a patreon, I kinda feel bad for kinetic.

[atomic moss]

Did anyone notice the feet are on the wrong sides

[kind quarry]

it's not 1.0 yet

[odd knoll]

they should have just done the customization and left it at that

[zealous crater]

they obviously need some money

[violet ruin]

[mild dust]

LOL

[tame cradle]

Maybe we can pay the interns ourselves.

[golden sentinel]

If I send them 5 bucks will they revert the update?

[fading jackal]

nah, million dollar companies don't need them.

[mild dust]

the mods: 🛌

[violet ruin]

Wait on our characters?😭

[untold grove]

No, she was standing there or whatever it was... tried to shut the front door and it was just staring at her through the front door and then it slammed shut.

[narrow sinew]

dang still no official statement or revert patch? this is wild...

[elfin spoke]

We've tried 5 games, every one has ended in disconnect within 3 min

[slow spade]

you're joking

[atomic moss]

I am not joking but I also can't send a pic

[lilac summit]

If I buy their $109 board game will they... nvm

[whole egret]

They didn't add any new ghost models so perhaps you saw Lisa or maybe Casper

[violet ruin]

[narrow sinew]

i bought another horror/evidence game because i was so bored 🙁 i hope they revert the patch fasat

[kindred cedar]

its honestly the most frustrating to me because the sanity watch makes the actually fun parts (figuring out the ghost, avoiding hunts or triggering them intentionally) easier and you cant turn it off without turning off the screens. and to compensate for that it was made harder not by adding additional challenges but by just making it tedious to navigate and play

[nova pumice]

unless they revert everything but customisation, i dont see myself enjoying this game anymore. its sooo bad.

[maiden cypress]

But noooooooo it is an early access gameee Guys. Its eArLy AcCeSs. That means we can expect "my first blender model animation" levels of quality cuz they never made games before 👉👈🥺

This update is their FiRsT time opening a game engine!!!!! We gotta be patient 6 Y E A R S is not that long of a time!!! Not like if i have given birth to a child when this game came out they would be able to play this game (badly) with me!!!!

[atomic moss]

I put it in #screenshots

[jolly basin]

Has the twitch drop worked for anyone with the new update?

[untold grove]

Well, whatever it was, I actually was genuinely spooked lol

[violet ruin]

Yeah

[high oxide]

No, I've got no problem with people voicing their opinions as long as they're not disrespectful to others. Not sleeping, letting people say what they want (within reason)

[earnest merlin]

I did get the drop in game

[untold grove]

OMG THE FEET ARE BACKWARDS... BRUH LOL

[rocky bison]

yeah i got it

[jolly basin]

Weird. I claimed it but still not showing in Phas

[gaunt temple]

I took a nap, dos everyone still rightfully dislike the update?

[arctic hollow]

idk if it’s just me or has anyone else just been randomly getting kicked out of games

[frosty zodiac]

Try turning quickly while looking down. Dislocated knees and ankles.

[charred hound]

I think they’re talking about Horror 2.0. It’s technically called Phasmophobia 1.0 now or something since iirc it’s planned to be the 1.0 release

[lilac summit]

The mods and partners have nothing to do with the development guys, don't blame them

[nova pumice]

pretty much. i think everyone dislikes it at this point

[jolly basin]

Yes. We moved from US to EU and it’s better

[elfin spoke]

Can't finish a game right now

[wanton summit]

I played a solo round fine but my first multiplayer match got a client timeout

[atomic moss]

I posted it in the screenshots channel. HOW DID THEY SCREW UP THE FEET

[fading jackal]

oh wow, not only has the memes channel become the screenshots channel, the screenshots channel has become the memes channel. this is the true metric of how bad they fucked up.

[naive dust]

Guys this could've been abandonware but instead we got this

[untold grove]

Ayo to be fair I'm getting old, that's how my knees and joints feel like normally, especially if I turn around too quickly.

[slow spade]

.

[jolly basin]

We all do. lol

[slow spade]

I don't have words

[mild dust]

ig ur right

[arctic hollow]

so its not just me

[maiden cypress]

Guys having stable joints is boring okay the devs are trying to be ✨ different ✨

[solemn stream]

[nova pumice]

i finally tried 2 games... its so bad...

[untold grove]

If they fix the game, they need to give us a jumpsuit with a ghost on the back/front xD with a black nametag w/ red letters.

[frosty zodiac]

This might be one of the worst updates I've ever encountered as a gamer. Very disappointing.

[fading jackal]

i've also heard that the view range is limited. viewing downwards has been restricted by 10 degrees.

[arctic hollow]

gotcha thanks

[woeful aspen]

Took a ghost photo on camp woodwind using monkey paw and it didn't count wasn't a phantom either

[atomic chasm]

Have the devs made a statement or anything about the public opinion of the update?

[tame cradle]

Even "The Day Before" was better than this update. 😂

[crisp sigil]

chat is this real

[zinc crest]

I cannot believe that they pushed something so poor...
I have never posted in this discord before today outside saying hello.
This makes me very sad to see this game take such a turn.

[pallid shale]

the cyberpunk update, breking joints, opposite feet and just straight broken, this is the future boys

[untold grove]

Yes, look down, my feet are on backwards

[trail flax]

I just want to let it be known. I dont want to hear from the devs (oh we heard you, we're working on it, we're sorry). That is crap and we know it. I want to know WHY this happened. Why is it so broken? What pipeline did this go through to cause this problem? You have a company that said so much and this is how they treat us and everything we've spent?

Counterpoint, I admit I paid 11 dollars for this game, and have like 1100 hours. Ive gotten my money. Now. I would happily pay MORE to have good updates and constant content. Im cool with that. But you release a broken mess like this? We all know this wasnt tested, and we all know they knew. So. that being said, explain why this happened. This is bullshit, and kinetic knows it.

You knew what you were pushing out.

[minor blade]

I thought I was seeing things at first, happy to know it wasnt just me, lol

[hardy plank]

Yeah a lot of people feel the same tbh. It’s just disappointing

[gaunt temple]

I liked the idea. I definitely think it needed some sort of animation change and model update, but the animation and models we have are just worse than what we had.

I would’ve been fine with another delay if they just told us “hey guys we’re not ready”, that would’ve been met with so much less criticism than releasing a buggy, poorly made mess of an update

[lilac summit]

Genuinely hope you guys are doing ok. The update is bad but no one deserves threats or any hate directed at them as people, thank you for moding and letting us voice out concerns and disappointment 🫡

[potent pecan]

I have never seen an update so hated lmao

[distant roost]

guys where are the yellow arrows along with the update. this is unplayable.

[crisp sigil]

i've been playing since launch p much and i've never seen it break this bad lolol

[lilac summit]

IT MAKES ME SO ANNOYED

[solemn stream]

we're fine... ish

[untold grove]

Suggestion: Make a test server? so we can try out and test for bugs before an open launch?

[crisp sigil]

do you think the legs are so broken because their feet are backwards

[patent briar]

is there a reason im 10 foot tall?

[zinc crest]

For the first time since I bought the game I got d/c'd due to how much lag there was. There was so much latency that it was just Unplayable

[trail flax]

No eversor, we arent their QA testers. We dont test their product. Thats lazy development. Thats bullshit.

[fading jackal]

apparently, the art director (CJ) said in a now deleted reddit post that he didn't make the animations, he just approved stuff, and that things has to be ready for the alan wake event. so that's one reason.

[tame cradle]

They did that during prison release, they had a public beta branch.

[prisma laurel]

Looks normal to me, obviously left goes right and right goes left

[atomic moss]

Yes check screenshots

[lilac summit]

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[versed nacelle]

worst update every jesus christ shitty skins and shitty glitches on top of it is crazy

[untold grove]

I blame the ghost.. had our necks broken so often they break our legs now.

[trail flax]

Screw the damn event. Thats mismanagement then.

[jaunty furnace]

thought crime

[twin pivot]

this is simultaneously the worst and the funniest shit

[solemn stream]

no, just existing. what about you?

[vocal flame]

One funny but slightly annoying thing is I think the ghosts have gotten... stupid? Bro I am spamming global come to me 😭

[untold grove]

Do you live near a nuclear power plant?

[olive bear]

Is there already a known issue of xbox series S users being unable to move their character at all?

[rapid heath]

so is the game unplayable? We keep getting dsconnected client timeout error

[hardy plank]

No that’s just the new feature

[chilly pulsar]

instead of whining in the discord, speak with your steam reviews

[patent briar]

Lol, I meant on the game

[frosty zodiac]

Feels like this game took about 50 steps back.

[dry harness]

Yup just hop off til the patch on th 12th is the best thing rn

[untold grove]

You seem like a fun guy...

[grizzled musk]

Anyone else struggling with REALLY small screens on EMF/Sound Recorder?

[crisp sigil]

yeah, i'm working on one now

[zinc crest]

It was unplayable when I tried. We tried several times

[rapid heath]

why two days?! wow

[trail flax]

You seem like someone who doesnt work in tech and has been trained to do the work for others. Im serious. We paid for a product. You dont get to work for free man.

[wind berry]

It sounds like this update was a success? 😅 People been complaining all day like it's gonna change anything, have you got nothing else to play until a fix happens?

[untold grove]

I know ;P XD

[frosty zodiac]

Make the game more immersive, we don't need wonky animations when you pick up a flashlight.

[spring crystal]

bro i cannot handle the amount of lag and the jittery physics with items, its pmo so badly

[fading jackal]

i already did. 👍

[past pier]

yeah it's crazy

[manic bloom]

Agreed

[lilac summit]

But they have the money and the team to do what they promised and have been promising for years

[atomic moss]

They made our characters unlearn their rights and lefts 😂

[placid sinew]

2 Back to back timeouts just now

[zealous jolt]

I keep getting disconnected time outs my connection is good im on playstation

[jaunty furnace]

its the laughing stock of the day

[untold grove]

Well, your grasp of the obvious is inspiring.. you know, I have never worked in tech xD I specialized in building and repairs :P I'm a dummy not a smarty.

[patent briar]

lmaoooo. you are hired. idk what for but hired

[glacial musk]

where are the new update details

[grizzled musk]

The new animations are making me motion sick. My partner died because your character switches slots slower than an elderly person grabbing their ID

[untold grove]

Deal, when do I start? lmao

[coarse lily]

omg why is everything so small now

[ruby badger]

This is one of the worst game updates I have ever seen

[trail flax]

you just have a different perspective. Do not let companies do this to you. They got your money, and they want more? They need to produce. dont do something youre good at for free. Ever.

[dry harness]

Thats when they said it would happen so its a long wait but hopedully it fixes this mess

[iron igloo]

This game is unplayable in multiplayer, we all were constantly crashing

[rapid heath]

played since start...never seen launch day go this bad

[night prairie]

yay i can finally put my own Clothes on but cant manage to play one round of phas before getting kicked 10/10 Update!

[lyric oracle]

That's being addressed in next patch.

[atomic moss]

The new death sound made me want to not have ears

[gaunt temple]

We are now the elderly victims

[glacial musk]

WHY IS EVERYONE COMPLAINING

[lucid raptor]

Anyone know why I cannot save customization?

[livid basin]

Ngl this update sucks. It's extremely buggy, you need ages to do stuff and the animations feel out of place. I hope they fix it soon

[coarse lily]

I so agree with you

[dry harness]

Same this is a new low

[analog widget]

Well yeah we could not complain but then the devs won't do anything, if we keep complaining then they still might do nothing or they'll realize they did something wrong and try to fix things

[olive bear]

also the customization options - the whole point of the update - are absolutely awful

[iron igloo]

Because we can’t play the game bro we keep crashing

[ruby badger]

Cause the update broke the game? It is unplayable

[frosty zodiac]

Because the game has been ruined?

[zinc crest]

I can't wait for the youtube documentary about how this is one of the worst game updates

[brazen spruce]

I crashed out when I couldn't equip my astronomer badge.

[scenic plinth]

Same here, seen the hate for the house reworks, the prestigie and tier equipment update, and so many people showed so much fear but like- those updates were good changes in the end even with the bugs </3

[cunning rock]

Why are the badges not animated anymore??

[mild dust]

i closed the game when i saw the id card change bug

[ruby badger]

Anyone notice some of the animated badges are also not as animated

[naive dust]

I've been literally thinking that all day, "I've got an hour to watch about this"

[brazen spruce]

FR

[glacial musk]

bro it is not that bad it will get fixed soon

[olive bear]

it is that bad

[stark yacht]

Anyone getting the strange dancing bug when you load in?

[tame cradle]

I miss the old media system, I miss the old farmhouses and I miss old tanglewood. This new stuff is garbage.

[mild dust]

its not bad i just closed the game and just gonna wait til its better

[analog widget]

ermm it is

[naive dust]

Just one more year, bro, please

[zinc crest]

Its pretty bad when the whole community is complaning

[livid basin]

I can't even take a video of the salt because it needs ages to activate the camera TvT

[rapid heath]

for sure. idk what happened this go but hopefully they learn from it and it goes better in the future. I'll just try again in like a week give them time to work out bugs. i rarely play anymore anyway so not a big loss.

[rocky bison]

i am not fan of the farmhouses, especally grafton, old grafton was my favorite map

[whole current]

i cant play the update bro its way too disappointing

[patent briar]

yesterday! 😛

[grizzled musk]

RIGHT?!

[ruby badger]

Not that bad? It’s clunky, looks bad, and is unplayable. This update shouldn’t have gone out, this was not tested well at all

[naive dust]

Revert to pre-Point Hope pls

[atomic moss]

A lot of people play this game with friends who might not all have the same games. For example, I play it with a group and we don’t have a ton of games in common aside from this one.

[analog widget]

its one thing when a few people are complaining its another when the whole community, the phasmo fan girls, and the partners are complaining about it.

[iron igloo]

My group couldn’t get through a game without crashing and we tried 5 times!!!!!!

[glacial musk]

ive been so update starved im grateful for this and im sure it will get patched soon

[mild dust]

🍿

[livid basin]

:,)

[patent briar]

did anybody notice how long it takes to light the fricken 3 candles?!

[foggy narwhal]

Currently having this same problem

[zinc crest]

It was so unplayable I had to close out!

[untold grove]

Bet, I'll get .. whatever that needs doing.. done, boss! o7

[jaunty furnace]

Yes!

[tame cradle]

I remember being scared of grafton back in 2020. Best times, this game peaked after the release of custom difficulties imo.

[wanton summit]

is the microphone indicator for if your mic is on just gone now?

[scenic plinth]

I do sorta miss the layouts and vibe, but the new maps look like they were made with a ton of love, and it was all done to move away from the og unity assets so it was worth in some way

[grizzled musk]

The dual handing is also SUPER annoying

[livid basin]

Also why is everything so far away?

[foggy narwhal]

Playing on PS5 and only one of the 10 games I’ve tried to play didn’t crash

[brazen spruce]

The fact that new people are joining the server just to shit on the update says it all for this update

[lavish brook]

Can anyone tell me how to pull up the watch without pulling up the journal

[zinc crest]

I can see the title now: The Rise and Fall of Phasmo

[rocky bison]

i do like the use of the different assets, the map itself just isnt pleasent for me to play

[noble schooner]

Beyond all the other issues, anyone had a random cursed hunt? I walked in solo. Went to basement no breaker, went to garage, and saw it was cold and was ghost room. turned on breaker and slapped down dots. Instantly killed by a Gallu, and I was playing just Pro... So I don't need to explain how if I took zero events, I was not below 60% sanity, and I had not even placed salt or anything.

[scenic plinth]

YES this, I didnt understand it at first and my first rounds felt so crappy because of it. If theres any huge change, I hope its reverting the offhand flashlight

[wild bluff]

Multiplayer is consistently crashing.

[charred hound]

Hold right click with nothing in your had

[wind berry]

I have been hopping on discord to keep updated all day to see if anything changes, and I can only assume enough people have been complaining for a change to happen. It's been non stop all day for them. And it's the mods facing all the negativity, and they're not even involved in the creation of the game. Sure, everyone has a right to be upset, but getting mad isn't it.

[cobalt matrix]

dual handling?

[lavish brook]

what about controller

[mild dust]

guys its ok trust

[scenic plinth]

I like the messy vibe but it did make the map less repeatable for me, it can be so annoying trying to find the ghost, the bone, and hoping good evidence occurs. Also before the farmhouse reworks, Bleasdale even tho it was bigger felt way better to play on. Now both houses kinda are meh to me

[analog widget]

I do agree its not that fair that the mods of the server who have nothing to do with the update are getting all the hate

[plush mountain]

the flashlight in left hand is so egregious and immersion breaking lol, who would ever do that?

[safe sedge]

Dude I have played this game since it has come out. Single handedly the worst update to ever come out. Sorry not sorry. There are so many other things that could be done or worked on yet apparently is was so important I see my hands? Like what? Sorry to the mods getting hate, unfair to them. This is just.... not it

[sweet summit]

Does anyone know what the new max level is in phas now? I see that it went up to something 4,000, does that mean from prestige 20 (level 2,000) to prestige 40 now (level 4,000)?

[atomic moss]

They need some extra mods as backup so these ones can sleep

[brazen spruce]

fr

[analog widget]

no there 4k are prestiges

[lavish brook]

found it its hold A with nothing in your hand

[rocky bison]

i get lost so easy on both farmhouses, i find them difficult to navigate

[scenic plinth]

I really wish the devs would just respond, acknowledge it. The mods are doing their actual job of at least keeping watch but then the devs who make the game have said nothing all day it seems 😭
I dont think its crazy to assume like every dev knows whats happening rn

[sweet summit]

You’re joking right

[nova pumice]

i personally like new bleadsdale. but hate grafton with a passion now...

[zinc crest]

Well said Skye

[minor blade]

hold right click (or the controler equivalent) and it brings up your left arm, the mic indicator is on the watch on your wrist now

[prisma laurel]

Nah he ain't

[stark dove]

no, theres 4 thousand individual prestiges now

[analog widget]

nope and beyond 20 we get nothing

[unreal latch]

do yall know why i keep kicked in phas

[rocky bison]

im sorry, what?

[safe sedge]

Thank you! Mods and admins do not deserve hate but this game is no longer enjoyable and this has made me want to not play at all

[zinc crest]

New update sucks

[nova pumice]

game broke. it happends to everyone

[untold grove]

Well.... hope the fix comes swiftly :3

[charred hound]

Shit, I don’t know. I assume it would be the same button you’d use to turn on your equipment

[prisma laurel]

From what it looks like you just get the same ID card (p20)

[sweet summit]

What if I have a lot of levels built up at prestige 20 do that at least go into more than 1 prestige?

[high oxide]

I'm sorry that that's the case

[plush mountain]

At least Blizzard released some mealy mouthed corporate drivel when their last update was more bugs than content. We can't even get that lol

[lyric oracle]

They said in the notes you won't get more unlocks from more prestiges.

[pallid shale]

maybe the solution is to sacrifice a minimum wage worker

[iron igloo]

No hate to the Mods here but the devs made this so unplayable that my group don’t want to play till the next update

[silk bear]

Ya know devs, usually I want to be bought dinner first. 😏

[nova pumice]

i dont think superglue is gonna fix this update, im on the edge of just removing the game entirely... before it was fun, now its just annoying in so many ways

[sweet summit]

The fact that this isn’t at least the case is ridiculous.

[wind berry]

I mean I don't know exactly how it is, but it literally came out today. I'm sure there are some deep conversations happening at Kinetic about what went wrong. For people to think this won't be addressed is wrong as this is their baby. They found a real niche in the market for a game like this and I'm sure they will do everything to keep their player base

[untold grove]

nods I understand.. I just like playing a bit of spooks before doing other things xD

[atomic moss]

We’ll get a tik tok about how this was all part of the plan

[prisma laurel]

💔

[distant roost]

this is the roblox rthro and kevin hart update

[slow spade]

Game has been held together with superglue for a while now, thankfully it's really starting to show

[nova pumice]

well considering the state of phasmo. theres better options out there. good luck

[livid basin]

I still think it's a cool idea but they definitely have to work on a lot of stuff since the new update. I'm scared to play on VR because of the issues we have when we're normally playing and i dunno how it will be on vr then

[sweet summit]

I know, they’re ruining everything

[fading jackal]

i prefer to think of it as the "phasmo 76" update.

[safe sedge]

Not your fault at all. I mean part of it is so buggy I can't even play. Sunny meadows restricted is completely unrestriced for one. But appreciate all you do.

[plush mountain]

Are you sure? I'm not sure about that at all

[distant roost]

if they add triple t as a cosmetic they might be able to save it

[atomic whale]

Is anyone having trouble with the high school map specifically? I have tried twice and get nothing plus the watch doesn't even start counting.

[scenic plinth]

True true, the hysteria is making me not want to give them time lmao. I understand it might take time for changes and acknowkledgements to happen but I hope we at least know what is on their mind soon and what will happen going forward 🙏

[atomic moss]

I remember beta testing fallout 76 and honestly it was less buggy than this 😂 or at least a majority of the bugs were funny like random gender changes when loading into a new area

[proper pulsar]

truth nuke

[wind berry]

Me neither, but it's better to have a positive outlook rather than thinking the game is cooked

[nova pumice]

if they just had added character customisation and left everything else alone (like animations, gameplay, etc)... the superglue would have worked for a bit longer... but nah, they went full out "lets show where the glue was"

[fading jackal]

hey, i'm not gonna say no to free HRT!

[prisma laurel]

They really gotta start doing changes

[covert flicker]

yall should I name my new golden retriever puppy Echo 💙 or Oni 🤍

[atomic moss]

It’s cooked until they fix it. Burnt atp. Not even cooked just straight up burnt

[plush mountain]

I had a positive outlook 3 years ago. Now I'm just enjoying the chaos while playing WoW lol

[glacial musk]

can i still play

[proper pulsar]

name it EMF Reader

[gusty beacon]

Mimic

[covert flicker]

lmfao😭

[nova pumice]

you can try... but likely will get disconnected or crashed

[atomic moss]

SAME!

[sand crag]

Did the funds for the update go straight to them trying to sell toys?

[glacial musk]

do accessories get removed after prestiege

[plush mountain]

In other countries, they have something called healthcare that serves a similar purpose

[scarlet plaza]

Is the disconnecting/crashing a within-the-last-few-hours thing or? Because I was playing a lot 3+ hours ago and wasn't experiencing disconnect issues

[distant roost]

yes

[prisma laurel]

No

[jolly zenith]

Sooo what's the consensus for the new models and customization stuff? My personal opinion is erm...a lil' mixed xD

[zinc coyote]

maybe

[gusty beacon]

I tried several runs on tanglewood crashed to dashboard (xb/x) 4/5 times

[charred hound]

Aww I think Echo’s a cute name!! Congrats on the new little guy, give him some head pats from me

[odd knoll]

ive heard of console issues alot today. i tried earlier and couldnt play

[covert flicker]

thank you!!! will do🤍

[fading jackal]

damn, we should have that in the US, sounds amazing!

[visual breach]

Does anyone is getting kicked?

[scenic plinth]

I would hope everyone can agree that the player customization is cool, all be it a little lacking atm, but the real hate is for the animations changing the entire flow of the game and being REALLY buggy

[nova pumice]

call it oni and teach it to like airballs

[remote quail]

journal visual update is just straight up unreadable

[atomic moss]

They sent it to a person in their email promising them money in exchange for a small fee

[charred hound]

It’s been a common issue after today’s update, unfortunately

[slow spade]

big changes

[odd knoll]

you doing multiplayer? if so i think its broken

[frosty zodiac]

I'm at a loss as to how a game, as successful as this one has been, releases an update with what seems like zero QA. There's absolutely no way this was thoroughly play tested and then approved for release.

[livid basin]

Agreed 👍

[visual breach]

Yeah, with a friend we try..like a 6 times

[scarlet plaza]

The only animations I've been having gripes with is busting out the video camera, lighting firelights (won't light unless the animation completely finishes, even t3), and opening the journal (particularly at the end of the round)

[gusty beacon]

I think it's called crunch

[humble tulip]

what were the devs thinking honestly

[sinful sand]

Does anyone Audio seem to double up. Like when you’re out of breath it just sounds like a constant echo

[jolly zenith]

Yeah I totally get the animation stuff. I'm really not a fan of all the weirdly delayed activations...

[nocturne sigil]

I rlly don’t like the update but yknowwww

[fading jackal]

nah, they've been talking about player customization for years, and it's this limited? demonologist had them beat day 1, i expected more from a multi million dollar company. it's so undercooked that it's (gordon ramsay voice) "It's fucking RAW!"

[jolly zenith]

Also wish the items were bigger. Even on the lowest FOV it feels like I have to squint to see anything...

[humble tulip]

theres no excuse at this point

[odd knoll]

im going to imagine theres going to be a hotfix tomorrow theres no way they can let this go until next week with such a large amount of there base crashing out

[glacial musk]

wait why dont people like the update aside from the crashing

[cedar vapor]

they runied the gam

[tepid nexus]

firstly, let me to be the first to say- this update was a little less than what we were wanting or expecting.

[livid basin]

And everything is so far away like that you can hardly see anything

[jolly zenith]

Yeah, kinda waited years for 3 jackets and two pairs of trousers. I mean...uh xD

[nova pumice]

didnt they have a quality assurance guy or something... didnt they also have beta testers and so on?... makes me really wonder what the standard for release is

[nocturne sigil]

its kinda lowkey overstimulating the animations are just not it to me

[whole current]

what about salt

[zinc ocean]

kinetic gays again shit ourselves

[south skiff]

they made half a billion dollars on this game. Does anybody know where the money went to in this game? They aren't hiring the correct people for the jobs. Additionally, did they even actually test this update? Because I feel like if they did test it, they would've fixed the glow stick shit animation

[tepid nexus]

garrysmod first person mods are less janky than this

[cunning trout]

don’t forget spaghetti for hair

[scarlet plaza]

Salt is slow but eh for me

[gusty beacon]

I would imagine their QA team was content creators who will just agree to everything to maintain access

[lucid raptor]

I agree, they definitely could've hired better people given the revenue of the game

[fading jackal]

they fired one beta tester that actually tried to get them to fix shit, and QA is either doing nothing, or they're not being listened to, or both.

[proven mason]

Does the game run significantly worse for anyone else after the update?

[jolly zenith]

I wasn't going to mention that 😭 But yeah the hair looks like a really awful GMod model.

[golden sentinel]

Guys the devs look me on a date (kinda used the whole budget) mb

[cunning trout]

“that’s what early access is for” absolutely awful update

[south skiff]

Do yall think they really spent the "years" on this update as they so claim?

[coarse lily]

did they change sunny meadows restricted?

[gaunt temple]

The animations are slow and just plain terrible, the character customization is ridiculously expensive and limited(why the hell am I paying 10k for pants), everything is so tiny that you can barely see it, the bugs are so prone and common that they may have well done 0 testing before hand

[glacial musk]

EWWWW MY LEGS MOVE SO WEIRD LMAO

[vast flicker]

I'm pretty sure i can buy a template for 10 bucks that has more customization built in. Plug and play. If the average person can do that. They can, with everything at their disposal, put together something better

[frosty zodiac]

For some reason it makes me motion sick. It's just doing too much.

[kind quarry]

I feel like kinetic games aren't actual devs but people who accidentally built a really fun game using premade models and now they screwed themselves

[scarlet plaza]

They didn't change it, it's just fully unrestricted atm

[lucid raptor]

They got 4 QA members on the team which is wild

[safe sedge]

That is what I thought lol

[zinc ocean]

i still don't understand what people are doing in this game, kinetic just being squeezed out of money lol

[nocturne sigil]

It makes me overwhelmed I don’t even basically wanna play anymore tbf

[kindred cedar]

hope they bought you the filet mignon and caviar and it wasnt just for them while u got the salad

[scenic plinth]

Its really annoying how limited it is, but at least its a cool idea that has... fine execution for the time being... more depends on what they do with it going forward
Also may I just add, as fun as Ghost Watchers, Demonologist and other ghost games can be, it is such a shame none of them hold a candle to how fun Phas is (was)

[kind quarry]

not even kinetic games knows what made phasmo so enjoyable

[tepid nexus]

I get nauseous looking through the camera. and crouching with a headlamp blinds you. I feel like If I run fast enough my character would be naked.

[lucid raptor]

It kinda annoys me how I put the item away to turn on the head lamp... or how i have to wait for the animation to take out the item when i close my journal. I missed some sound recordings because of it

[nova pumice]

yeah idk... they need to start listening to them then or get new ones... idk ... even if they fix everything, unless they go back to old animations / gameplay, i dont see it doing any better than before ... as the whole janky movement, animations and having to take time to do stuff isnt it...

[kindred cedar]

i think they genuinely do not realize that the 'puzzle' of figuring out the ghost is what's fun because i swear for several updates in a row now they've been slowly removing pieces of the puzzle
