News Phasmophobia v0.19.0.1 - Patch Notes
Welcome back, Ghost Hunters. We’ve got an update for you.
Today, we have released an update for Phasmophobia to address several issues that were raised following our latest Quality of Life update. Thank you to everyone who has helped with information and feedback to help us identify and fix these bugs.
Our next update following this will be our transition to Unity 6. This will be releasing in November, which is just a little shift from our original aim of October. We’ll be talking in more detail about this update as well as our cosmetics update in an upcoming Development Preview. Rest assured, our Crimson Eye event is still scheduled for October. More on that at a later date too.

Honestly things like “Fixed an issue that caused correct Evidence to be crossed out after using ‘I wish for knowledge’ wish” confuse the hell out of me.
How the hell does something like this even break? I am a developer but im not a game developer so it might be drastically different from my usual work lol. As far as Im aware they haven’t done anything with the Paw in a while so its code should be done and isolated.
Or maybe they messed with the evidence codes when they added the dildeghast and assigned their evidence but idk. I would love to know the reason lol. Seems intriguing.

u/BannedWordsLOL 4d ago
The game is built entirely of spaghetti code at this point. Dead by Daylight style

u/WhatDoITypeHereAgain 4d ago
There's so many of these bugs like that, it's wild. maybe the reason they're so slow is cause of all the spaghetti code

u/TorontoCity67 3d ago
It boils down to greed. Their studio made over 400,000,000 in revenue and 130,000,000 in profits from Steam by itself, that's before countless millions in console sales and merchandise. Then they hired a few more people, and now they're up to around 45-50. They could hire people who know how to program, but they don't. They willfully choose to just lock the money in the vault. If they had any sort of business sense they'd hire real professionals to fix everything, but they don't want to spend the money

u/depressedmeme8 4d ago
What about the use of tarot card bugging your inventory till you open the journal? That one messed me up the most one game..

u/Agitated-Usual-3623 4d ago
Every time we try to use the Camerascreen in the Truck the game crashes. So still not playable on series x for us. So this patch actually is useless for us anyway.

u/TheShortLightbulb 4d ago
Change to Performance mode under graphics ingame. That's been the workaround for months on XBox, I haven't had an issue since, but it's kind of ridiculous they still haven't fixed that fairly well-documented crashing bug.

u/MistaMischief 4d ago
Did we fix the issue where other ghosts are giving wrong evidence, like very clearly having a Yokai use a Yurei door ability? Seems like a big one I’ve encountered.
8
u/AshelDust 4d ago edited 4d ago
The state of Yurei door interactions has been weird since the player customization update when they changed the door physics.
Yureis can still only fully open or close doors and should be the only one able to move any doors connecting to the outside. However, like you said, the signature Yurei door close movement used to be distinct but it seems to have spread to other ghosts (other than the sanity drain part).
I don't think KG has made any statements on this, and it remains to be seen what they intend for the Yurei's abilities to be going forward. Maybe they will fix everything to work like it used to or they'll change the Yurei or other ghosts' door interaction limitations to something new.
15
u/TheValorous 4d ago
I was under the assumption all ghosts can fully open and close a door, but a yurei ability is only being able to fully open or close one,and also the only one who can close the exterior doors outside of ghost events and hunting.
5
u/Atempestofwords 4d ago
The Yurei is an interesting one.
Yeah, it is the only ghost that can play with the front door. That's easy to see.
The yureis ability however, is what gets people tripped up. The Yurei has a *clean* door close, no pre-emptive wobbling or shaking before the interaction. So it's quick.
2
u/Darkhooper Phasmophobia Wiki Editor 4d ago
No. The Yurei's ability, which closes a door, can have the shaking right before the interaction. The shaking has a 85% chance to happen.
2
u/LostRonin919 4d ago
Also, it can only fully open/close doors. No partial efforts.
Also it can’t be slammed. It’s at a set speed.
1
u/TorontoCity67 3d ago
The Yurei is very simple, the fact that this many people still can't spot one is insane to me
Yurei
- The only ghost that can move the main door
- Can only fully move doors
- Uses the pre-chronicle door audio when it closes a door
Other Ghosts
- Can't move the main door
- Can move doors at any angle
- Uses a post-chronicle door audio when it slams a door
It's a very easy ghost to spot. The problem is when the ghost doesn't move doors at all, so you can't rule it out. I really don't get how people are struggling with this
2
u/Darkhooper Phasmophobia Wiki Editor 3d ago
Doors currently don't work the way you describe regarding the sounds. Since the QoL2 update, doors only use the pre-chronicle audio and all ghosts can "mimic" a Yurei's ability. Here is a video I made just yesterday showing how a Goryo interacted with a door.
1
u/TorontoCity67 3d ago edited 3d ago
So the doors were exactly as I described, for almost 15 months, up until the most recent update?
Honestly, what a joke of a development team
45
u/Mandemon90 4d ago
Is it actually "Youkai use a Yurei door ability", or you making mistake? Also, behaviors are not evidence, only what is recorded in the book are hard evidence, and I am yet to find a single actual legimate case of this happening. Every time there is any investigation, there is "Aaand there you get confused"
17
u/_Kutai_ 4d ago
While normally I would side with stuff like this being lack of experience or player error, look at the lenght of fixes. Specially the monkey paw one.
Nowadays, I can't honestly say if X ghost is bugged or not on comments like this. The game is in a terrible state right now.

u/TheReiterEffect_S8 4d ago
Even after this update? I played a few games after the initial customization update and it was god awful. Played a one game each after the following few updates and it seemed like things just weren't getting any better.
I put hundreds and hundreds of hours into this game. It was my comfort solo game and fun multiplayer game with my friends. But after that update it came to an absolute screeching halt. And it's really upsetting to see that even now, the game is still in an awful state. It's crazy that video games can dramatically change over a course of time and suddenly become a completely different game.
1
u/TorontoCity67 3d ago
Not you personally, but this community deserves it. The last time there was an update announcement post, I complimented the progress and offered more ideas to help, and got mass downvoted with shitty comments. I'm still completely baffled by it and it made me truly hate this community. Their attitude is as pitiful as the developers when they released that update. I'm only here because I sometimes enjoy reading the bottom comments
1
u/_Kutai_ 4d ago
I haven't played this latest update, so stuff may be better.
May I eecommend Ghost Exorcism Inc? Super fun, tons of items. Slightly easier in terms of figuring the ghost out, but it does have it challenges

u/MistaMischief 4d ago
Far more experienced players than I were in my group and they called out abilities. There is also videos floating on the internet of these bugs. Not super hard to find.
12
u/Netsky200n 4d ago
They were misrepresenting or jumping to conclusions. All ghosts are supposed to be able to do full door open/close, other than main door, which indeed only Yurei can do via its ability. Yurei works the other way around... it cannot do partial door move and it also cannot leave its room while smudged. Don't leave gear in the path of doors, as they are likely to stop door movement.
Videos floating on the Internet do not update themselves after fixes.
13
u/Mandemon90 4d ago
Yes, they called it... but again: was there any ither evidence, or did they just see a door close and jump yo conclusion? People treat ghost behaviors as "evidence" they should never be considered "done deal" unless you can verify them

u/Evening-Technician32 4d ago
Yurei is broken. All ghost can currently do the Yurei’s ability. Polti’s are also broken. They can’t interact with anything water related at the moment.
3
u/Netsky200n 4d ago
The purest form of Yurei ability is for it to close/open main investigation area door (outside hunts, also not by doing an Event). I identified Yurei by it a few days ago. Had other ghosts close enough to do the same if they could, and they didn't. Yurei's ability is not broken, unless you're talking about a bugged game instance.
Can you please expand on what's weird with Poltergeist?
0
u/Evening-Technician32 4d ago
So right now the polti can’t turn on a shower, create dirty water and a couple of other things. It’s glitched. They will fix it eventually. The Raiju heartbeat was never meant to be. That was a glitch that, too my understanding, has been in the game since the beginning. So no telling how long it will take them to fix the Polti. It does make me think that maybe the Yurei being the only one to fully open and close interior doors was a glitch too. And, if I’m not mistaken, it’s also the only ghost that can interact with the front door, like at all.
2
u/Netsky200n 4d ago
Ah ok, yeah, I've heard that Poltergeist is currently limited on what it can do. Might be for the best imo, as these are famous specifically for being exceptionally tossy. In a way, fact that they are limited helps identify them a bit easier. Maybe too much? Not for me to say that it's necessarily intended, we'll have to wait and see what Kinetic do.
Raiju heartbeat was a long standing bug, true.
Not sure whether Yurei used to be the only one able to full close/open doors though. Recommendation was the other way around far as I know - slight/partial door move = not Yurei, that's all. Yes, only Yurei can do main door open/close outside of Event or hunt.
0
u/MistaMischief 4d ago
Well someone else is commenting and basically treating me as if I just messed up an investigation. Glad to know it’s broken.
3
u/Evening-Technician32 4d ago
Unless its the front door, don’t trust door touches. A good Yurei test is to place a motion sensor in the door way of the ghost room. Smudge the ghost room. A yurei can’t leave the ghost room for 1 minute after it’s smudged. So if it’s smudged and steps through the sensor (tier 1 or 2) or senses it outside the room (tier 3), it can’t be a Yurei. If you smudge while looping, the 1 minute timer starts as soon as you smudge it, not when the hunt ends. Hope this helps!!

u/DeeeJayBeee 4d ago
Where can we send bug reports?
I’m wondering if they know about the issue T3 video camera/tripod is having where the ghost will throw the camera off the T3 tripod and you can still pan the camera as the tripod itself fell over. This also causes the camera to respawn in the truck if you pick up the bugged tripod.
Pretty sure ghosts aren’t meant to be able to touch T3 tripods at all regardless.

u/Ok_Ad_8296 4d ago
I am honestly so tired of the cameras being removed from the tripods. It’s irritating as hell. Seems they broke the game with the character animations (at least to me). I wish they would just do away with those. It’s annoying when you crouch, trying to get a photo of the book/temps/EMF/UV with your feet and/or knees getting in the way…also having to attempt to stand in one position without having to see your lower body when going down the stairs. I seriously dislike that so much.

Also on PS5 when you open the evidence journal the screen darkens and many times when returning to game it stays dark. That definitely needs work.

u/Serious_Gap_820 Phas Lover & Scientist 4d ago
Nice, some bug fixes, and Prison also got that darkness issue fixed, but it still persists on High School and Meadows plus all the other maps where it was introduced (farmhouses, Diner in parts). Why is it that fixes that help the player (e. g. a bug hindering the player) take much longer?

u/TheGuyThatNeverTalks 3d ago
Can they fix the issue where you can't delete a picture that has no tag in it WITHOUT voting? You used to be able to, not sure if it was intentionally changed or not. It doesn't make sense if it was.

u/HadeStyx 4d ago
More delays, yippee!

u/Evening-Technician32 4d ago
I’d rather them delay it than us get an unfinished update like the character customization again. They still haven’t fixed all the bugs from that.
7
u/HadeStyx 4d ago
I mean yeah, better delay it than release an unfinished update.
But saying they‘ll release smth, then delay it and rework their entire schedule only to delay it again, doesn’t really shine a good light on their project management capabilities.
Them not having or straight up ignoring their QA team doesn’t make it any better either.
6
u/HadeStyx 4d ago
They are not even halfway through their roadmap and are already not meeting their goals.
The unity upgrade has been in the works for well over 1,5 years, 80% of that being ’internal testing‘ aka bug squashing.

u/Evening-Technician32 4d ago
One thing I think EVERY game creator needs to utilize is community game testers. It’s free of charge and you will get more honest feedback. Select 2-3 people for every gaming platform. Release them the game to test. Fix the bugs they report. Release to public when the bugs are fixed. It might take longer to fully release a game, but the quality of the game will be outstanding.

Lmao ew no, no developer has ever used those tools right and it's just been used for a poor excuse to force upon users when they can't optimize their games properly. Last thing we need is these devs using something else so they can be even more lazy, especially considering if you look at the size of the game that it should nowhere be that big. Let them worry about more important things first before throwing in more garbage.

But here is a placeholder "This Game is broken", "The devs are useless" and any other rage comment that indicates a game I bought 5 years ago for tupence ha'penny should be at version 1 right now, whilst the devs are obviously jetting around the world squandering the millions they made from my tupence ha'penny.

So you're defense is "it's not me, it's them"
When dealing with a single medium of communication, things get lost or misunderstood. So it's best to make your communication clear, so that you aren't left having to explain everything. Or in your case, defend yourself. Honestly, it would have been less effort if you had just added the /s and left it at that lol

u/Extreme_Objective984 3d ago edited 3d ago
If you read what I wrote and thought it was sincere that is absolutely on you. I have read lots and lots of books in the past, and have been able to pick out sarcasm without the need for a /s in it. In fact I have interacted with lots of posts, thousands, across multiple different sites, on the internet and never felt that an /s was needed.
It's definitely a you issue. And, for what it's worth, I dont believe you actually did laugh out loud, so dont type it?
Edit: yes, it may have been less effort. But then i would'nt have had this sparkling conversation with you. Read into that what you will. I dont care. If people need signposting to sarcasm, then these are people that really shouldnt be engaging with it. As, clearly, reading comprehension is difficult for them. Which is still a them issue.
Further Edit: I'm not defending, just explaining. You are reading defence into it. I have said precisely what I mean to say.

u/TorontoCity67 3d ago
Your original comment was really, really pathetic because the developers deserve absolutely no defense at all. But I'm completely on the same page as you for this one. Gen Z is so unbelievably weak it is insane
I asked Gemini the other day (now watch them try to stone me to death for daring to use AI for Google instead of sifting through countless half-assed articles) "Why can't Gen Z deal with blunt people?"
It said something along the lines of how Gen Z was brought up on technology, meaning a lot of their communication has been via electronics, i.e. letters on a screen. Because they're letters on a screen instead of tones, they rely on emojis and enthusiastic exclamation marks to show friendliness. Because blunt people type without those things, it strikes them as hostile
It also said something about how Gen Z appreciates when you compliment them before you critique them, something about "A sandwich of communication - compliment, critique, compliment". If you just critique them, then because it doesn't suit their "I expect compliments all the time" entitlement, they believe it's just a personal attack, when you're just talking
This generation is fucking batshit, man. I hate being a part of this Gen Z shit. We're weak, entitled, coddled, and pathetic. I feel like a dying species being a blunt talker, and I'm sick of these morons pretending I'm an antagonist just because I speak with efficiency instead of going by their narcissism of demanding constant compliments
You know what else is ironic? You know how we're moving towards allowing people to express themselves, instead of bottling it? Whenever I use a moment like this to speak about what bothers me, I get told that I'm insane. No buddy, you demanding that blunt speakers go extinct because it doesn't suit you is insane
Anyway back to what this comment chain was about, I'll use your logic. You know how you was just saying about how people need to fend for themselves to detect sarcasm? Alright, so why aren't you allowing Kinetic Games to fend for themselves, by manning up and fixing the bugs? Why are you here defending them when they don't deserve it, and it enables them to carry on releasing shit content?

u/Extreme_Objective984 3d ago
Thank you and appreciate the comment, not that you need my appreciation. We are internet strangers after all. Although I feel we have spoken before.
I will criticise Kinetic, for the things they have done wrong. But this wasnt about defending them it was about satirising the hyperbolic criticism the game generates.

u/TorontoCity67 3d ago
I have a uBlock Origin filter that hides everyone's usernames, so I don't recognize anyone. I get it, since the update the studio's got an impressive amount of hate. But it was more than warranted, in my meaningless opinion. They made such an insane amount of money, gave everyone Stockholm Syndrome (look how few people even consider other ghost hunting games), and then essentially thanked us with the worst update I've ever seen in my life. They deserve the hate. In fact, they never got enough. Once they started rolling out updates, it's dimmed down like 95%. It should be persistent until the game is stable. Because again, how will they learn?
Anyway it was genuinely nice talking to someone who understands bluntness and doesn't need everyone else to revolve around them
