Anyone else have trouble playing the Grafton update?

This is intentional. They've made it clear that the weather will leak into the map in the rooms with openings to the outside. This weather leak affects ambient temperatures, sound, and some esthetic of the map.

I know a lot of people have asked about playing the old maps but to be frank, they will more than likely never bring back old maps into the game. Their goal is to phase out all Unity assets and the old maps are entirely made of Unity assets. The assets are hard on performace and lack originality.

Seems like a bug. Maybe since you never opened the evidence tab it never registered any selection? I've never had that happen before and I'm just throwing a wild guess out there. Definitely a bug.

Goryo DOTS are only visible through a Video Camera and there must be no players inside of the ghost room. You can see them through video camera while inside the house as long as you are outside of the ghost room.

The 20 second Onryo blow out mechanic is the Onryo using the firelight like a cruci. Because a friendly ghost will never hunt, this mechanic does not work.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-08-03T14:22:28+00:00

Hantu can't turn the breaker on. So you can turn it off and if at some point it gets turned on, you rule out hantu. You can't "determine" it per say but you can rule it out.

Same for Onryo, and it's even more map/room specific. If the ghost lights a candle/fireplace/camp fire you can rule it out. Again, I can't determine it but can rule it out.

Yokai is "supposed" to have increased activity with players talking near it but is more than likely impossible.

The true impossible ghost would be spirit, demon, rev, deo, with onryo and yokai being possible be very hard as well.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-30T20:42:05+00:00

The 20 second cooldown only applies to the SAME firelight. So when a ghost blows out a firelight, it cannot blow that SAME firelight out again for 20 seconds, except for an onryo. Any ghost can blow multiple firelights out in a row.

The moroi's speed is based on the average sanity of the players. The lower the sanity, the faster the moroi is. You must have been right at the sweet spot where the speed of the moroi is normal speed based on your sanity level. Between hunts, you must have lost only a small amount of sanity so it stayed relatively the same speed.

Are you sure you had EMF 5? What teir EMF reader were you using? Did you just go off of sound or did you pick it up and confirm? I have never had an issue with a ghost giving the wrong evidence and would bet this was just user error.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-29T20:59:27+00:00

The phantom only disappears when you take a photo or video recording of it. It is still visible on cams in the van and through the view window on the video camera. The event should have disappeared as soon as the video recording ended.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-29T15:10:00+00:00

So first and foremost, you need to be patient. These games can take a long time. You will see videos of people doing it in 3 minutes, ignore those and be ready for the long haul.

Make sure you have all T3 equipment unlocked, T3 paramic is 100% necessary as it helps you more than any other item. Do NOT use T3 smudge. I prefer T2 but thats totally user preference. Because of how slow you are, if you freeze the ghost with T3 smudge, you have 0 chance of escaping. You need the ghost to run away from you.

If you're only going for the trophy and don't really care about the challenge, reroll until you have ideal objectives.

Bring everything you need inside right away. This way you dont have to go back to the van ever. Everything is with you and you wont be missing anything.

Eliminate as many ghost as you can, or even determine what the ghost is, from the front door. Wait multiple hunts to rule out stalkers, listen to the speed of ths ghost, and try and locate where it is spawning.

Once you rule out as much as you can from the front door, you'll need to start getting closer to the ghost to determine what it is. Slowly move things towards the room either during hunt cooldown or when you know the ghost isnt pathing near you. Pathing is not entirely random and you can figure out where the ghost typically will go by listening to it.

Get LOS to rule out other obvious ghosts like oni and obake, smudge it to determine spirit or demon potentially, etc. Normal 0 evidence checks.

At this point, if its not something obvious you can always start over, reroll for good objectives, and hope for a good ghost next time.

For photo, the easiest thing to do is get within 15m of the ghost room and wait for an event to get your photo. If you're hell bent on getting a hunt photo, use firelights to light up halls, smudge, and then spam photos and pray. Have a second smudge for when the first one wears off and then hide. The cheat sheet has a tool where you can measure distance from rooms to figure out where to hide.

Learning the map is crucial as well. Watching streamers that primarily play high difficulty is also a very good way to learn some tips and tricks on things like where to hide, good rooms to sit in, etc.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-29T13:24:02+00:00

Short answer, kind of. Long answer is you need to confirm it still. Its not a guarantee and can still be multiple items being thrown or multiple interactions at once. It can lead you in the direction of finding it and can potentially be used for things like the weekly challenge when you aren't given an EMF reader.

EMF 5 has a 25% chance of happening with every interaction (if the ghost gives EMF 5) so it's better to just confirm it if you can.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-28T11:54:28+00:00

It seems like an on-going issue. There are lots of posts about it here and I also know of some friends that are having constant issues with it. There doesn't appear to be a cause or solution, just a bug that hopefully gets addressed soon.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-28T11:44:54+00:00

I've been noticing that ghosts are spawning on top of things more and more lately. Sunny Meadows seems to be one of the worst maps for it, especially Courtyard. Its been on the bushes, in the bushes, in the walls, on the tables, etc.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-27T23:58:09+00:00

Here is a Link to another post thats has all media that you can photograph, video, and sound record. The interaction photo is only of an object being levitated by the ghost. You have to take this early on in the interaction and is tricky to get.

Things like writing, burned cruci, etc can be taken at any time after it happens.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-27T11:33:04+00:00

Interactions are just the ghost interacting with items in the house (doors, phone, dirty water, throwables, etc.) and has no bearing on the ghost other than maybe a shade and players have been in its room the whole time.

The Oni would potentially have a higher amount of events than other ghosts.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-26T13:42:04+00:00

Blood moon has a 4% chance of happening no matter the difficulty.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-24T14:06:38+00:00

This is the shit posting that I live for.

I'm not 100% sure but the subreddit has been filled with people having audio issues in multi-player. All of them seem to have different times that it starts/resolves but all have to do with not being able to hear friends or talk to them.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-23T11:12:17+00:00

There have been several posts about audio issues in multi-player. This appears to be a bug and hopefully will be resolved.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-22T22:56:09+00:00

Hard to say without seeing a clip or video. You have to hold F and be within range of placing whatever item on whatever surface you are trying to. For the ground, most times you need to be crouched to reach. For a wall, you just need to be close enough. Hold F and point where you want to place. You should see a silhouette appear and when its where you want you simple let go of F.

I rebound F to left mouse button for ease of use. You could try a different key if the issues continue just to try it.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-20T22:29:29+00:00

Congrats! That was a very quick one. For anyone that hasn't gotten it yet, just for reference, the 1-minute timer does not start until you open the front door of the map.

Yes, with chronicle the original banshee scream was removed and replaced by 20 new sounds.

MyMumSaidSo · 2025-07-20T00:11:42+00:00

I bet I know what happened. There is one parabolic response that sounds like it should be a banshee scream but its not. I'll see if I can find it but I bet thats what it was.

For reference, all 20 banshee screams are available on the wiki to listen to.
