Hey, make sure you enable cross play in your settings. If you turn this off you will only see the rooms with other players that have this turned off.

Hey, you need to lower the graphics. Specifically texture and shadow resolution as you are more than likely running out of ram. We have a lot of improvements to ram usage coming in the update on Monday.

Please make sure to play the new training. A lot of the evidence has changed and is likely why you are getting it wrong.

Welcome back, we've got some news for you!

Any information and images are Work In Progress (WIP) and may change drastically before releasing



Dear Phasmophobia Community,

We'd like to express our deepest gratitude for your support and excitement for our console release.

As we still try to adapt to our new remote working life after the fire incident and to establish a new office, we've encountered unforeseen challenges in adapting the game for consoles. These combined factors have affected our development timeline more than we initially anticipated.

Additionally, in preparation for the PlayStation VR2 launch, we have been diligently reviewing the game's performance and optimizing it across all maps to ensure a seamless experience for all of our console players. In this regard, we had to rework Maple Lodge Campsite with ... Read more

How would auto-banning be respectful towards the common, non-cheating, user who wants to experiment, in his own game, in single-player, probably in offline mode on Steam ( I do not know if this is possible or not )? He did nothing wrong torwards any players since there were none. And he was having fun, on his own, in his own private session.

Hey, we ban for player reports so you can technically do what you want in singleplayer just as long as you do not affect the game when you join multiplayer such as editing your save file or changing anything gameplay related.

We do however also ban for hacking the games code which you would also get caught by our detection in singleplayer.

As stated in our code of conduct, none of our bans are automated. You can read it here: https://www.kineticgames.co.uk/code-of-conduct

Getting a game ban means you lose access to multiplayer, you only terminate the EULA if you uninstall the game, refund it etc.

Hey, have you made sure that you are using the Oculus OpenXR runtime and not SteamVR?

Comment

Hey, this is a standard clause in every game you play with a EULA.

Baldurs Gate 3's EULA says "Upon termination all licenses granted to you in this License shall immediately terminate and you must immediately and permanently remove the Game from your device and destroy all copies of the Game in your possession."

Dead by daylight EULA says "Upon termination of this Agreement, your right to use the Game shall immediately cease you must immediately uninstall the Game and destroy all copies of the Game in your possession."

I can give more examples but you can look at any game you own and will see the same thing.
