The #phasmophobia patch notes for v0.26.3:
Fixes
1. Fixed a bug where you could use the Ouija board when you were on a different floor.
2. Fixed a bug where the EMF Readers first light could turn off when the EMF Reader was still turned on.
3. Potential fix for lights not always being synced after the fuse box turns off.
4. Several optimisations to the fuse box and light switches to help with fps drops when they are turned on and off.
5. Prison: Fixed a bug where you couldn’t take a photo of the fingerprints on the cell doors when it was open.
6. Ridgeview: Fixed the living room sofa safe spot.
7. Potential fix for players not always getting fully killed by the ghost. (can’t interact but can still be seen by other players and the ghost)
Changes
1. You now take control of doors from other players when grabbing them. This will stop situations where you could lock players inside rooms. This is Non-VR only for now.
2. Asylum: Moved the light switches in the reception to make what they do clearer and to make them easier to press in VR.
New
1. Added text on the sanity monitor to show the teams average sanity that the ghost uses to hunt.

The sanity average got me thinking. What IS the field of view for the ghosts? Just how far out of their field of sight is far enough?
dk is on the case
Insym… if you get this question right you win the achievement of happiness ( and also a spirit on your next 3 games ( I sound like a clickbait YouTuber when he does his intros lol)) Anyways… What does EMF, Fingerprints, Ghost Writing Give you?? Is it: ( might need to click read more )
A: Jinn
B: Revenant
C: Banshee
The sanity meter change is mostly just a quality of life fix. Don't think it really counts as a buff or a nerf. Unless you can't do basic mental math, in which case it's a huge buff.
what is the point of going into a game and then go afk?
Hi insym 🙂
In VR you can actually glitch out of the van while waiting for others to join, and make it to the house before objectives are formed. Also you can glitch into the house before you get the key. You can start hunting for ghosts before the van even opens the door. Also in VR you can just glitch out of the house when the hunt starts so you don’t die.
yo Insym can you make a Phasmo patch notes playlist? including the old one (very first upload on ur yt) thanks
Insym feeds DK with Infos
DK feeds Insym with Updates
thats what i call true love ❤
I don't know about Mares, but just so you know, Demons can hunt at 100% sanity like Banshees. Psycho made a video where he got hunted at 100% sanity where it turned out to be a Demon, and I also have had a couple games where Demons have hunted over 65%
This sounds like a great patch. I hope it's just a reminder of what your current average sanity is at so you're not doing extra math, and not something that signals at what kind of ghost it might be. Either way, it seems pretty cool. What a great dev, being on top of all this.
There's a bathroom in my house that needs a new specific type of lightbulb but we can't find one, every time I turn on the light and walk in there every time it flashes my heart skips a beat because I think on a hunt
As a VR player that is so annoying to get kicked because of trolls, I can never play with anyone because I get kick the second I join them but play the base game is not working for me as it puts the sound in my VR and not my headset even if I unplug the VR
Dammit, DK…take care of yourself, man! He's legit listening to his community, fixing things and making new changes all the time-he really should take a break for a while! Really appreciate his efforts though!
when playing single player on a private server on 0.26.3 the average sanity shows as higher than your actual single person sanity (which shouldn't be possible since the average should be whatever your sanity is since it is not being averaged out over 2-3-4 players etc).
Would be lovely to get an average sanity meter on the whole world
Can they take out the ability to photograph fingerprints when there is no uv light on it?
The showing the team's average sanity will now hopefully enlighten some casual players who stubbornly kept saying the ghost would only hunt individual players with less than 50% sanity except demon and mare even after someone told them it was team sanity based and not individually, and i hope with the door grabing patch i dont get killed inside a locker with another player because he decided to peek or i ll haunt that player in real life xD.
I can't wait to see the change log when all these features go live. It's gonna be huge and really long to read.
Omg the fingerprints haven’t worked on cell doors for so long we’ll at least on the actual release
I found out about the Oujia Board bug and I was thinking "why can I use it while it is on the Kitchen counter when I am in the Basement of Tanglewood?"
The developers are really dedicated. It makes me smile, to how much work they do just to fulfill small requests.
Lol I reported the prison door thing to one of the mods who came into chat about a month ago XD seems like you need to be a big streamer for it to be listened to
i like this channel
Thank God for that new sanity monitor. Now just maybe people will realize it's better for sanity to keep the same people going inside, instead of swapping people in and out. That shit drives me crazy. Like "Sure, go ahead and send me in at 50% average sanity and shoot our sanity even further" lmao
some vote kick idea
dk: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
I want to get this game but my computer can't even handle cluster truck so do you think it will be able to handle this?
The mysteriousness starts fading, now that you can see the average sanity, you don't need to count it.

One time, this guy joins our match, saying very little but just enough to satisfy the lobby owner. Game loads, and he starts playing audio clips over his mic. It wasn't a huge deal at this point — just the odd clipping audio bit here and there, and he wasn't being very helpful with finding the ghost. Not communicating anything he found, if he found anything at all, idk. You all know this type of player.
At one point, he hid all the video cams in the bushes near the van (we were on highschool). Thankfully, I found them and was able to use them. I didn't say anything about it, but it eliminated any doubts I had that this guy wasn't playing the same game we're playing, if you catch my drift. So anyway, we end up discovering all the evidence and get ready to pack up, and this guy just parks his character inside one of the classrooms across the school from the ghost, so he was totally safe, but because he was still inside doing nothing, we couldn't pack up the van and get paid. One of my friends in the lobby gets impatient and starts asking him to come to the van. He sits there for about 8 minutes until my friend gets fed up and leaves the game.
With him gone, the radio chatter was totally silent. I decided to go to the bathroom at this point — and when I returned, the troll had packed up the van himself. Yea, he was left alone for 5 minutes and got so damn bored he personally packed up the van and left.
TL;DR
Don't bark at trolls to "Please stop! / You're pissing me off! / Grrr!". It's what they play for. Attention may as well be oxygen for a Troll. If you want to "win", make them go cold turkey on attention — don't give them a reaction. They get bored real quick and will leave to look for someone more fun to fuck with.
Either go silent on them, or pretend you aren't noticing what they're doing and be subtle about it.
Yesterday i was aying with my friend. And we get yet another revenant (guess we were lucky, to get them every farmhouse map), and he started a hunt, when my friend was at 90 sanity
wait.. PHASMOPHOBIA DISCORD IS A THING???
The average thing is amazing omgg
Just discovered you! think gonna watch you a lot to learn a bit more about phasmo.
I am late 14 hours :/
So the only thing I can see in the beta-branch section of the Phasmophobia discord is the readme. The change log and anything else isn't there for me. Any reason why?
Say E
wouldn't the ambiguity of the sanity before this change be a good thing? if everything is crystal clear as to how it works and all "behind the screens" values are visible it'll just take away from the horror and immersion of the game right?
Being able to kick peaple would be nice. One time 3 of my friends went to prison and one of my friends had a phone call so he when afk in cell, the rest of use figured out the ghost and did the oblectives, and he was still afk so we tried to bait the ghost over to him and 2/3 of us died before he got back. Super funny but also annoying.
i couldnt take fingerprints photo on the broken windows of a highschool classroom idk if its a bug
💕
Does anybody else have the thermometer just randomly go invisible in your hand? Forcing you to swap to something else and swap back to get it to appear again?
Fair warning, if you don't want to know how the sanity average works now, don't continue reading this comment.
Honestly I'm super annoyed with the new sanity average. Idk if it's meant to be this way or if it's a bug. But they average in the players "sanity" when they're dead. Last night, two of my teammates died and my friend and I took the remaining sanity pills. The both of us were above 80%, yet the average was in the the 40s. I already reported it, because I simply don't think it's fair. Especially when during one game, I was the only one left alive, took pills to just grab the Ouija board for pictures. And instantly got hunted and killed. Yeah… I was pretty pissed.
As one of the two people who suggested the average Sanity feature: it is intended for those who are not good with maths, such as those with dyscalculia. Its accessibility.
Vote kick idea just makes me think that people would start trolling then too. Imagine getting all of the info and then every1 kicking you off so you can't get anything.
Hopefully the vote-to-kick for afk players will only be allowed if a player is recognized by the game to actually be afk.
Eg. Not moving for a certain amount of time allows the pop-up to appear, allowing players to then vote-to-kick.
That first one is weird. Its always been like that for me. And ive never played the beta branch. On live with friends its always when you touch the door, you now control it, if you hold it and someone else grabs it, it goes to them, if you grab it back it goes to you. And alot of these "changes" the last few beta patch notes have been things that were already in the game from the first time i played, months ago.
Really glad to see that developers is trying to fix some bugs (some of them had been fixed quickly) and work on game to make it more difficult and more interesting.
aye i found myself in the chat
When are you starting on as a QA with the devs?
Hi past me!
