Welcome back to Phasmophobia! In this video we finally solve the mystery that has haunted Edgefield since Phasmophobia released in 2020. Apparently there was one bed that has 121 thousand polygons… For comparison: The entire maple lodge map is around 600k polygons. So these two beds are 50% of that entire map… No wonder Edgefield was so cursed! I thought this was really funny so I wanted to share. I hope you enjoy! Much love and see you during the streams 😀

that room on edgefield ALWAYS dropped my frames and I had no idea way
This is why you don't just grab assets from the Unity Asset Store without checking their performance impact first guys.
Side note: It isn't that easy to check the performance impact of specific items in Unity. You can't just load a map and see on which items it is working the longest. A trick you can do is turn "off" all the items in a room and see if suddenly your performance is 2x better. But then you need to already know that a specific object is causing the problem.
the issues i had on edgefield were random deaths outta no where once died on the stairs when the ghost was still in the basement. Another one was when the ghost was still in the grace period downstairs in the kitchen i died when i ran into the closet doors on the second floor
Finally!! Edgefield was unplayable for me despite having a decent pc, I'm so happy that it's being addressed
Damn, i predicted like 50k…. 100k+ wtf.
Switch to ue5 if ya want that on all objects. 🤣
High quality bed..
Still could NEVER place a candle on it xD
I really need to get back into playing Phasmo. I havent played it in so long. Probably get back to it when i get off work for summer. (i work at a college cafeteria in case anyone is wondering)
Insym: 13 SECONDS?!
me: wait so its not supposed to load for 20+ seconds?
I knew about this because that exact bed is a free unity asset and Vrchat uses the same engine and like every single world uses this bed model
wasn't their a fork mesh that was like, millions of vertices
this seems a little familiar
See I was right about the performance issues
Only Insym can say that the ghost is a side product and not being scared of the possible consequences of his word.
I spend like 2 minutes loading into tanglewood LOL
reminds me of yandere simulator toothbrush xD
When I would walk into the boys room my pc would almost crash.
I sometimes had the problem, that my pc crashes while playing phasmophibia, no other game causes this. Now that I’m seeing this it’s actually the case that it always happened on Edgefield. Well thanks for the tip, I think I avoid this map until the patch comes. Sorry Edgefield but I don’t want to damage my PC 😅
8:50 the window tap is in the bathroom but he only checked the windows in the room lol. super occupied and mesmerized by the 121k polygons to 3k polygons luuuul.

My friend and I can't play on the campsite map because of how laggy it is.
I hope phas gets console ports, I’d love to play it!
121k poly's for a bed doesn't necessarily cause that much trouble. I mean a GPU can render 10 – 15 milion polygons at 60 frames per second.
But when you use the default render pipeline without deferred rendering then for each light it has to render the geometry. Having 4 players + all light sources shining on the bed could tank performance because they all multiply the geometry rendering. It also increases the amount of batches required. This all can lead to performance issues.
I wouldn't know about load times but it shouldn't take 15+ seconds on a high-end PC that you have.
I would've loved to see the unity profiler to see what else is tanking performance but sadly I'm not a phasmo dev 😜
Once they change the default render pipeline to universal render pipeline, things will probably improve too.
Also an engine update could do miracles as well, 2019.4.x is already legacy LTS.
Steam overlay causes lag, I only found out recently but it can actually make games much better, make sure if you use steam chat to talk, to close out or even just disconnect from the chat and close all other random steam applications to system tray, Discord also takes up unnecessary broadband when not in use.
Yandere dev moment
'13 and a half seconds' Timer: 13:58
BTW: 1:58 timestamp
I was genuinely thinking of a bed with 3 POLYGONS xD
One rectangle for the headboard, another for the sheets, and a third for the bed legs. I first thought of them as triangles though.
Everything 2D of course xD
If the X doesn't show up on Spirit box hit the Windows button or whichever button you have that opens the task bar and just click back on the game, test spirit box and see if it works, I really hope people see this.
Ooh…That's why! I kept lagging on this map without understanding why.
as a laptop user who plays phas, not only does edgefield take the longest for me to load, but whenever i walk into that exact room, i lag terribly going across that bed. it's a gg for me if it's ever a ghost room that i get
Dang lol my guess on bed poly count was 200,000
That is the reason I have 20 fps in Edgefield and on the first upstairs room on the right 2 fps
So it's not extremely helpful but in the prison you can still use the door inside of the kitchen to glitch on top of the stove and they cannot reach you up there.
My frame rate drops super hard when I stand on that bed
Wait 10+ seconds is long? I’ve waited 5+ minutes for a game to think about loading 😂😂
13 and a half second load times😆😆 that's my load time AFTER loading into the map already
I load into Edgefield in 3.6 seconds
Did Insym just do an entire video about performance in bed? 🤣
@Insym when you checked what window it touched it was in the bathroom. But you proceeded to only check the to ones in the bedroom. Even though there was no fingerprints I just wanted you to know.
Ghost: Hunts / Insym: Talks about beds and polygons
It took me about 2 minutes to load into Edgefield and the I have mad several videos on this, as well as reporting it but, the issues only started when the Halloween 2021 Update came out. I have even compared it to Maple Lodge Campsite. I had no Issues on Asylum at all.
Yea ive used the blue bed in vrchat its a oversized asset
How does a bed ruin it?
Lots of editing all those failed attempts lol, I watched the stream, still a huge fan and watch pretty much every day. I felt bad it didn’t work as easily as you hoped. I’ve been there when streaming too, stupid computers always ruining our plans lol
omg waiting longer than 10 secs thats so long
