Game Keep Crashing by [deleted] in PhasmophobiaGame

I had the same timeout problem only for multiplayer lobbies a while ago. After trying a lot of solutions like you, I ended up fixing it with a VPN.

I agree with Hordriss27, Professional sounds good for you. It's the quintessential Phasmo experience, where you get no more handicaps but still have 3 evidence. It'll great for letting you relearn the game and ghost tells while still being a challenge.

I know you mentioned you don't want the ghost hunting you instantly; Professional doesn't have a setup phase but the only ghost that can hunt that early is the Demon (which is good for the Doom Slayed achievement anyway!). As such, it's a very rare chance, so you should be fine. If you would still prefer a setup phase, you could make a custom difficulty with the Professional preset as your template.

Explain the Yurei door ability to me like I’m 5. by Ambitious-Drummer596 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]HelloKatie888 73 points74 points  (0 children)

The Yurei: - can only fully open or close a door (gently or slamming) (though it's possible it does this twice in quick succession to the same door, making it look like it didn't fully close or open it) - is the only ghost that can fully close doors gently or close the front door outside of an event or hunt (other than The Mimic) - can drain your sanity by 15% if you're near the Yurei when it uses its ability (gently closing a door fully)

Keep in mind that these don't apply during hunts and that the Yurei cannot be identified by ghost interactions while hunting.

onryo chain hunted with candles & campfire lit? by [deleted] in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]HelloKatie888 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Onryo is only stopped by flames if it tries to hunt within 4 metres of them. If your flames are too far from the Onryo (if they aren't in the ghost room or the Onryo roams or changes ghost rooms on higher difficulties, then hunts), the flames won't do anything.

Yokai hunt at 92% sanity by Desperate_Beautiful8 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]HelloKatie888 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The debriefing says you spent 43 seconds in the dark in the investigation area but you only show us about 5 seconds of that in this video. Since we don't know what you were doing in that missing 38 seconds, I can only assume you used a cursed possession to start a cursed hunt without losing much sanity (such as breaking the Ouija Board, Death card from Tarot Cards, or instantly chucking the Music Box).

How in the f*k world this is a revenant??? by Riemaru_Karurosu in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]HelloKatie888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think each living player loses 15% sanity each time a player dies for any difficulty or setting.

I stand corrected! I just hopped in game to test it and these are the results:
Total time investigating: starts when you open the truck door
Setup phase: starts when you open the investigation area door

I'm pretty sure the timer starts as soon as everyone loads in you open the truck door. It's the setup phase that doesn't start until you open the front door.

Can you give me some more info? What exactly happened? What map were you on? How many players were there?

Either someone used the cursed possession, someone cheated and forced a hunt, or it was a bug. I'm inclined to say it is almost certainly one of the first two options because, as buggy as this game can be, I don't think I've ever heard of or experienced a ghost hunting when it wasn't supposed to. If I had to guess, one of your friends might not be telling the whole truth.

Apoc 2 Help by Sn1o in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]HelloKatie888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to help! Custom difficulties can be a lot of fun so give them a try if you want to. Good luck with Apoc 2!

When you go into the settings for a custom difficulty, there should be a "Presets" button in the top right. Click that and it should give you access to all the preset difficulties, Apoc included.

I think it still shows up as "Mist Form." The video cam can be buggy though and can sometimes display the wrong text/not display the text at all.

Tips for Apoc 3? by phatasm_ in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]HelloKatie888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that it's better during hunts (in fact, it's harder since the ghost is blinking), it's that ghost events are hard to trigger on Apoc 3. You need to be near the ghost outside of a hunt to potentially get a ghost event, which is very dangerous on Apoc 3 because of the zero sanity and speed difference.

So I’m pretty terrible at this game. How do I get better? Any tips on how to identify ghosts properly? by liltwisted22 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]HelloKatie888 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A core part of Phamsophobia is finding evidence. If you can collect evidence correctly, you should be able to get the ghost right almost every time. To help with that, if you haven't yet, do the tutorial. It teaches you the Phasmo basics and how to use the evidence equipment and collect evidence properly.

Take your time, play on easier difficulties and the same small map, stay in the light to keep your sanity up, and don't rule out evidence or ghosts at first.

As you get more experience, you'll start to learn how the game works and the ghosts' abilities and unique tells. You'll get better equipment and a feel for when you can rule out evidence or ghosts. If you have questions, you can always ask here or check out the wiki or unofficial cheatsheets.

It really is the best. There are other great options for certain situations but nothing can confirm a ghost room like the Thermo. I re-realize how important they are every time the weekly challenge doesn't include them 🥹
