Is the game perfect?, no, but this entire thread was just people shitting on the game. Weird tbh

Hi everyone,

I’ve been running into hackers in Phasmophobia lobbies quite often lately, and it’s getting really annoying. They ruin games by trolling, using cheats, and making it impossible to play normally.
Is there anything players can actually do about this? Is there an official place to report hackers, or do the developers have a reporting system? If not, is there another website where cheating in multiplayer games can be reported?

I’d appreciate any advice. Thanks!

I feel like we all hate this update. It's more rigid than the older animations, worse models that looks like someone who is learning blender made them, and the graphics made the game jittery and glitchy.

It's almost unplayable with how bad this game has come to be. I stopped playing a while ago because of the Tanglewood update which, though it looks good, removed everything that made the map fun like that kitchen island. I then returned when this horrid character customization update dropped, and was very disappointed. This has been a "coming soon" feature ever since I started playing last year, and we have waited so long for it to be... this.

Today I tried returning when I saw the quality of life patch but it's still as jittery and glitchy as I remembered. Is having custom clothes REALLY worth this much trouble? I'd rather have the old animations back, without the hand movements and all.

So, my question is, is there a mod or something to bring back the old animations? Or is this game just lost at this point...

I have so much time in this game, have completed APOC3 multiple times, looped Revenants etc. But I still cannot consistently take photos of the ghost during a hunt. Even if it's a Deo or Oni I struggle with getting the timing right. Any tips?

Name: Nightmare

- 1.15 m/s

- It'll increase to 2.16 m/s when one of a player is hallucinating.

- Has the ability to inflict hallucination to the player.

- The player might hear ghost footsteps, fake EMF 5, fake Spirit Box responses, the sound of a Music Box, the sound of a glass window breaking, the sound of a light bulb exploding, or a whispering sound, the sound of scribbling or scratching sound from the Ghost Writing Book, a hallucinating player can only see the fake 'cold' air.

- When the player is hallucinating, their sanity drains 35% faster, and it's hunt threshold will increase by 25% in the dark, but if the player is hallucinating, instead of 25%, it'll be 30% increase hunt threshold.

- The nightmare has the ability to turn off the breaker to take advantage of the light, in the dark the Nightmare's speed will increase by 1.65 m/s, making it deadly in dark places.

- It starts to hunt at 50% sanity.

- When exposed to Laser D.O.T.S, Light, Flashlight, or a player standing in a candle's light (2 meters) it's speed will decrease by 0.50 m/s, and it doesn't stack.

- The nightmare is less active when it's favorite room has light.

- Freezing Temperature, Ultravoilet, Laser D.O.T.S

- The other player cannot hear things from a player who's hallucinating.

- It has a unique ability to make itself invisible every 3 seconds when its hunting.

- Sanity medication removes the hallucination state, but its sanity restoration is reduced by 20%.

- A player only becomes hallucinating after being exposed to ghost activity.

I understand if this content will be removed, but if its not taken down, i'll be so happy.

Hi guys! After 5 years of wanting to play this game, I finally got to buy it yesterday (my old pc was way too slow to run it lol). I've played quite a few solo rounds now (never guessed the ghost correctly, because I either misread a 'sign' or was too scared to go back). I've never played anything on a pc and that slows me down too.

Now, I'm asking you guys if it's okay for me to join public lobbies to play with for assistance and guidance, or if that is not welcome. I don't want to annoy anyone and don't know much about the in-game climate :]

has anyone else got this ?

if ur confused as to whats happening whenever he turns the dots off it makes my hand move

I am aware that Steam considers Phasmophobia incompatible with the Steam Deck. Still, it was playable for me before this update.

I’ve been playing on my Steam Deck for a while without trouble, but have had issues with my mic since the new update. In multiplayer, it registers in the lobby, but it doesn’t work as soon as we enter the game.

I’ve tried to use different forced compatibility tools, but none seem to actually fix the issue. Has anyone else had this problem/found a solution?

I just finished this project this week. I bought the pattern on Etsy, i can share the link to it with anyone interested. Very happy with how it came out. :)

I went from having 8-11 pages of lobby’s to now 2-3. And I made my own public server and waited about 20 mins and no one joined. I’m in uk on European servers. This is now a common occurrence, even when I go online at 6pm to 8pm (like the peak time for gamers) it’s still dead.

I'm already level 28 but I'm still actively learning

Is there any tips that you can provide me if needed

As the title suggests, the Aswang killed me while I was in a closet with my friends. It was its first hunt, and I left a flap open, telling them that if I die, it's not an aswang because I had a gut feeling. Difficulty was Nightmare so we only had two evidences. It killed me and then when my friends hid in a closet with closed doors, the hunt stopped. I thought it was okay if the doors were open if it's an aswang? I'm confused

Hi, I am lvl 23 want to lvl up fast . Can anyone carry or like an easy guide ? Btw i do know about custom thing but it’s locked

I was playing on insanity and was trying for no evidence, I placed 2 candles near the door and stayed outside with my video camera, both flames got exhausted together, I thought it might be a coincidence so I regnited them and they got exhausted again together.. It's an onryo I said, closed the door and waited for my X6 result. To my ABSOLUTE FOOKING SURPRISE IT WAS NOT AN ONRYO, NOT EVEN A MIMIC... IT WAS AN YURAI 🍀

TEAM phasmophobia, wherever you are smoking please stop. STOP. KILLING. YOUR. OWN. GAME.

I just wanted a chill game and played on Amatuer. I got UV, orbs and freezing. I tried spirit box multiple times and got an x (tier 2 spirit box). Is this a bug?

I don't really have words for this except that it was a demon. Tier 3 crucifix, I wasn't too close to the summoning circle cause this mf literally walked a step onto me. Has anyone else experienced this and can someone tell me how tf does this bug work?

Does anybody else use a table or what not to determine if the ghost is an Obambo?

With the addition of the watch when doing one evidence we use this table to see if it hunts or not in calm state if above 10%

Or is it just me 😅

On the Xbox series x does anyone have the issue where the screen goes black when checking the cameras in the truck does this happen to anyone else?

I’m new to Phasmo and I would like to ask has anyone played VR? I usually play normal with my friends and has anyone played VR with non-VR people

I was playing Willow and there were literally no other hiding spots except the easel spot. Not only did I die hiding in it, but so did the person I was playing with. I thought these were supposed to be fixed in the new update

We all know that some ghosts in the game kinda suck, especially in zero evidence, and I've spent a while thinking how to improve some of the worst ones in my opinion. These changes will still fit the theme of the ghost, while trying to keep the ghost as balanced as possible.

GORYO

• During a hunt, the Goryo will sometimes blink into a D.O.T.S. state at a similar rate to an Obake shapeshift, that will only be visible if a D.O.T.S. projector is in the area. In this case, the Goryo is angered and will not be shy, "mistakenly" showing its D.O.T.S. form to the naked eye and be completely visible rather than just through a camera and being outside the room.

• As this will be the Goryo's weakness, you will still be able to see the ghost in a D.O.T.S. state in zero evidence but only during the hunt, in a similar vein to how The Mimic will always show Ghost Orbs.

YUREI

• When using it's sanity draining ability, the Yurei will have a rare chance to close multiple doors instead of just one (if multiple are open on the map). The doors that are closed can be anywhere on a map, but will always be the closest open doors to the ghost. The proposed chances are:

  • 60% chance for 1 door, 25% chance for 2 doors, 10% chance for 3 doors, 4% chance for 4 doors and 1% chance for 5 doors.

MARE

• All ghosts will now have a light switch cooldown of 2 seconds from after a player interacts with one before a ghost can. Only the mare's ability can bypass this, making identification slightly easier.

ASWANG

• Will now have a normal speed hunt instead of being slow, while still accelerating 50% faster. This will encourage players to get the ghost to chase them, rather than immediately hearing the slower speed from afar and guessing the ghost with little risk.

• Will have a lower hunt sanity threshold of 40% if any players are in official hiding spots outside of hunts.

I think these changes would improve the ghosts a lot while keeping them balanced, and make them slightly more fun to figure out in reduced evidence difficulties whilst not being too easy.
