Just throwing an idea here but what if there was a button that had a very basic preset of questions(think like the Z button in Counter Strike), that you c...

How do you know when the Ghost is in it's hunting phase? Sometimes it appears right in front of you and then boom you're dead before y...

Originally posted by TCU FROGS!!!: I ended up refunding my copy and my gifted copy. Just tried again and the stuttering and tracking losses are extreme when right next to the computer in the trailer, and the fact that the devs are blaming us, I don't even want to support that.

Hey, sorry but I am the only developer so I'm not sure who is telling you that. The only reason I ask for specs is so I can narrow down the issue. Sorry that you had to refund, once the current bugs are fixed I will look into optimisations.

Hey thanks, I might make the sprint slightly faster but I don't want it to be too fast otherwise it will take away from the horror.

For that audio bug, there was an update last night that should have fixed that. Have you played since?

There is no push to talk for VR except for the global chat. Local chat is on by default.

Hey, are any of the controls working for the Samsung Odyssey?

Hey, it will stop working if the ghost is in it's hunting phase. Is this the issue? If not then it might be bugged so sorry about that.

Originally posted by Balten: Awesome, thank you! On the side note of stopping ghosts in hunting phases, we had an incident where taking a picture of a ghost caused it to disappear, which caused us to assume it was a Phantom due to our limited information. However, later one of us was killed by the ghost as it was completely invisible, and then found that it was in fact an Oni. Do some ghosts also react hte same way the Phantom is described to (being that it is supposed to disappear temporarily after a photo is taken), or was it just coincidence that when we took pictures it also was planning to yeet outta there?

Ah, that was just a coincidence. Once the ghosts are in their hunting phase there is nothing you can do except hi... Read more

Hey, the Crucifix is used to prevent the Ghost from entering it's hunting phase to attack you. Once the Ghost is in it's hunting phase the only thing you can do is hide. You should find the Ghosts room and place the Crucifix inside it and it will stop most of the Ghosts hunting phases.

Hey, you can keep on repeating the training over and over to help you understand what's going on. For the fingerprints, the Ghost will leave them on doors when it moves them as well as windows and light switches when it uses those. This can sometimes take a while so it's best to do this last.

The Ghost will stick to one room 90% of the time so it's usually best to use the EMF Reader first to work out what room the Ghost is in. Then setup cameras, ghost writing books and use the Spirit Box. Temperature can take time to drop so you can check this at the end.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need help with anything else.

Originally posted by TCU FROGS!!!: I am having the same issues it was virtually unplayable before the update, the update just now seems to have improved it SOME, but still almost unplayable for me, walking up to doors and light switches and hard turns makes the game completely freeze. Hope this can be solved soon or I might have to refund it for myself and my friend. :/

What are your specs? Have you tried lowered the graphics and monitor resolution in the graphics settings?

There is an update coming out soon, please let me know after the update if you are still experiencing fps issues.

For anyone new, the beta testing phase is now over. Big Youtubers are free to message me on Discord for review keys though.
