Hey everyone,

This update brings a lot of important difficulty changes with the ghosts hunting phase that helps move the gameplay towards what it needs to be.

Some changes may seem significant however they have been tested over the past few months on the beta version to make sure they are all well balanced.

While there are still a lot more needed features that will be added, future updates will include new maps, ghost types and new equipment.

You can find out what is currently being worked on from our Trello: https://trello.com/b/9QrnqQ1j/phasmophobia

Hey, sorry about this bug.

To fix it you need to delete the resources file in your install folder and then verify your game files on steam.

Step 1: Delete the file "steam/steamapps/common/Phasmophobia/Phasmophobia_Data/resources.assets".

Step 2: Open your Steam Library → Right click Phasmophobia and click "Properties" → Click "Local Files" and finally click "Verify integrity of game files".

Anyone that has any idea how to fix this, please help.

Hey, this is usually fixed by updating your motherboard audio driver.

If that doesn't fix it then please join our discord server and ask for help in the bug support channel where you can get more help.

This is a known bug that will get fixed hopefully tomorrow. For now to fix it, when you start the game make sure you all start and leave a game. It will work after that.

Hey, sorry about this. To avoid it from happening you can swap to the beta version of the game.
Right click the game > properties > betas. You will only be able to play with others on beta though.

Hey everyone,

I want to let everyone know that the servers are going to be upgraded over the next few days to stop this from happening again. As part of this upgrade though we have had to unfortunately remove the Australia server and everyone there will now have to connect to Asia which is hosted in Singapore. You will still have the option in the current update but it won't connect you, this is removed in the next update which will hopefully be in the next few days.

This next update also has a lot of optimisations and bug fixes for all the major and most common bugs being reported. You can try out this update on beta right now, see the #read-me on our discord server for more info.

Hey, the update is very close to being ready. It is a complete network rewrite so it's taking longer to get the update out. This update will fix almost every client and server timeout disconnects, all the voice chat issues and a lot of other major bugs.

These disconnects should now be fixed in the last update.
