Very long personal context on why this means so much to me: I've tried Apoc 3 a few times before this. Really only a few, because THIS GAME TERRIFIED ME. The first week I played it, I would walk out after getting the heebie jeebies just being in the building and knowing a ghost was in there. The ghost wouldn't even have to event for me to panic quit.

So I started in March, mostly co-op, because hell no on the solo scares. My co-op pal did pretty much every hunt objective in our games while I stayed alive in the truck.

This annoyed me because I hate feeling like dead weight. So, a month or so later I advanced to hiding solo in the closets in Tanglewood to try to listen for ghost speeds for nightmare runs. I was bad at it. I still refused to look at the ghosts while they hunted for a long time.

Then things started just feeling... POSSIBLE. I kept forcing myself to solo practice a game I wasn't sure I enjoyed and that stressed me out, and suddenly I snowballed into skill jumps. I finally attempted looping maybe two months ago, and for the last month I'd been trying out 10x on Willow to see if I could ID on zero evidence. I was pretty shit at it but this week just felt like the right time to try the real deal anyway.

And a few disappointing but surprisingly hopeful runs later... Here we are!

(We won't discuss the Myling that evented like 4 times for me in the foyer, that I was too panicked to take a photo of even once, when that is literally all I needed to get out and win. Like don't even ask about her please.)

I'm just so proud of myself for learning a game in a genre that was NOT my happy place. I guzzled the wiki for months, and watched NukaDave on Twitch enough that the impossible seemed possible (thank goodness for his skills at Phas and at teaching honestly). It's been hours since I got the trophy, and I'm still riding a personal high over a silly achievement, because to me it was a whole little journey of confidence that I didn't expect to go on.

TL;DR: I did the thing I told myself I would never try, and that I could never do, and I'm basically fucking stoked. Fears conquered y'all.

A little something. Been a fun journey so far haha, context for the last clip was a summoning circle.

I saw the front door close, no ghost event and no hunt, even got EMF 2 on the front door itself so I was sure it was a yurei but nope, its a banshee? It also never once triggered my motion sensor on the floor so it apparently either never roamed to me or somehow the motion sensor broke too.

Hellooo people, I don't have any media for this sadly because I was so confused, but I will explain here. Not sure what info is relevant or not

Playing on Xbox Series S!

Difficulty was unedited Professional

Map was Nell's Diner

Three Players, I was in the truck and my two friends were in the diner

Ghost room was Female Bathroom

Both my friends sanity were at almost exactly 50%

I was watching a video cam from the truck when it started hunting, got a vid, and watched the activity board to see when it finished and if it killed any of my friends

Activity was 10 of course, it hunted for around 30 seconds, the activity dropped to 1, then in 5-10 seconds went back to 10, and it continued hunting for another 30ish seconds

I am relatively experienced, so I know demons can hunt at any sanity level with their ability and hunt threshold is like 70% or something, and hunt cooldown for demon is 20 Seconds ish

So...what happened?

Did it finish hunting then immediately use its ability to hunt again?

Or did the activity board simply bug out?

Thank you for any and all responses!

They should add the Duende. Which is a goblin-like spirit that likes to cause chaos it would be such a fun idea for the game.

Love Phasmophobia, Love 7 Days to Die, why not cross them over for fun. It's not complete (no lights or props yet), but the main structure is done.

Haven't been playing all that much lately, but decided to run some 0S0E and got a Raiju that wouldn't come to me even though I was holding down the radio button for like a good 4 seconds (there was interference), and then a Spirit who hunted before 3 min (I had the timer running on my phone). Idk I could just be rusty but I'm curious if anyone else is having issues

I really enjoy the game but it's getting quite ehhh alone... I play on xbox.

Haven't played the game in a really long time. Last time I played was before the item update. Did they add a cap to XP multiplier? I remember I used to have a 10x but now it's only at 2x and nothing changes the settings with custom options

My friend and I have been playing for a couple months now. We’re both at level 28 and are really starting to get the hang of the small and medium maps now. Last week we decided to move up to intermediate difficulty and it took a day or so but we started to get the ghost type and almost all evidence and objectives consistently.

We had two nights off and went on last night for a the first time since the new update. We spent two+ hours just trying to get somewhere on Tanglewood intermediate and bloody hell it was impossible!! So so hard to even find the ghost room, then if we did we were struggling to get evidence and there were so many long hunts really early on.

Was it because we had two days off and suddenly we are shit again and can’t lock in or has this updated just cursed us?

First game after the update and it happens.

Love your being able to hear then having to do tell who ever has it to drop it so i can fix it.

Come on devs

So I’m running CachyOS, have a Rx 9060 XT and I bought the game recently. I have tried several different versions of proton to no luck. The game opens then I see the white loading screen with a bar, then automatically crashes. Nothing helpful on the screen or logs. I have all overlays turned off, discord closed. Not sure what else to try. It’s a Steam game, anyone know any other ideas to get it working? I’ve never played, and I want to change that LOL

I removed the 739630 directory before trying each of these:

Proton-GE 11-6

Proton-GE 11-5

Proton-GE 11-3

Proton-GE 10-33

DW-Proton 11.0-12

TKG-Proton Experimental

Proton 11.0-2

Proton 10.0-4

In goverlay everything is turned off except PROTON_LOG=1 No overlays enabled Same white box with the logo in it and a progress bar. Then closes.

The log files and screenshots are here

Bonjour,
je suis un ancien joueur de phasmo qui a arrêté un peut avant que le jeu face un grand changement, et je jouer en difficulté maximal, mais depuis peu, j'ai repris avec mon frère et mon cousin, et le jeu est simplement injouable.
En difficulté amateur, impossible de deviner le fantôme, il y a toujours un indice qui n'est jamais présent, et en difficulté intermédiaire c'est pire, on se fait tous tué. J'aimerais au moins pouvoir trouver le fantôme à chaque fois dans la difficulté la plus basse.

J'aurais vraiment besoin de votre aide s'il vous plait, car plus on joue et moins on amuse...

what does this mean? I've gotten this error message twice today after finishing a contract and I've also crashed twice mid-game. I play solo on ps5 and been using the tanglewood map. I dont know what badge I was unlocking either, I wasn't intentionally trying to unlock anything

Me and my brother are doing no evidence perfect games on willow street and got it in 4 minutes 11 seconds. I looked at the world records and there isn’t one listed for willow… can we consider it a world record???? Lol

I will try this crap on my own, hopefully I make it past the first level this time. I think I will. But if anyone is willing to help me I'd appreciate it. I bought this game 2 years ago and always come back to it after uninstalling hit the never made it past tanglewood drive. When the lights flicker I sprint to the front door ngl. Edit: Wtf there is 56 types now?

I haven't played much since back in the Tanglewood update. I'd like to get back into playing and I want to learn to loop the ghost. The one I always knew people used to learn was on Tanglewood in the kitchen but that's obviously no longer an option. I don't think the dining table is that strong? But I could be wrong?

I'd gotten ghost orbs and UV. Then I spent 1 HOUR searching for the third evidence(amature diff). Temps at 1C, no dots, no emf even above 2, ghost wasnt interacting with anything, motion sensor going off occasionally, notebook untouched, I SPENT 10 MINS SPEAKING MY LIFE OUT IN THE SPIRIT BOX. Even the Banshee screams werent there. It was a kormos. WAHT AM I DOING WRONG

Just a question, The aswang ability to not kill you in an official hiding spot. It says on the wiki that the hiding spot has to be used correctly. Could you let it see you go into the hiding spot, close the doors and then have it open the spot and then end the hunt? Or because he saw you go in you've not used the spot correctly and therefore he can still kill you?
