My friends Dodo and Syzen, who are the highest known legit Prestiges in the world, did a challenge run a few days ago where the goal is to get the most money/XP in a single contract. That's one of the hardest challenges once attempted by BigMeikLIVE. Thanks to this week's double rewards and the event points daily and weekly tasks, my friends were able to set a new world record at 44,138!

Despite everything, the final score can still be improved!
- First, here they got optional objectives rewarding 25. There are exactly 3 objectives that reward 30: 'Cleanse the area near the ghost using Incense', 'Repel the Ghost with Incense while it's chasing someone', and 'Get the Ghost to blow out a Firelight'. Completing these instead would have increased the final payout by 990.
- Second, their media reward here was 216 while the maximum possible is 231. During the game, they did not get the absolute best sound media; they captured a Burned Crucifix instead of trying to capture the Mist Form. That would have increased the reward by 5. The remaining 10 can only be achieved by recording a Ghost Shapeshift video which is only possible with an Obake, and as you can see, their ghost was a Dayan. The final payout could have been improved by 495.
- Third, unfortunately impossible during this week, the final payout can further be increased by 100 if they completed the 'Play a medium map' daily task instead of the set of tasks they had during the run. Why impossible? Because the best combinations of tasks that include that one are only available on the 2nd, 11th, and 25th of the month, and the double rewards week runs from October 15th to October 22nd.

Dodo and Syzen will attempt to improve this record in a few days with Jadeite and maybe Justly.

Took me about 220 hours to get it. Definitely won't be stopping here tho, gotta keep grinding more prestiges 👍

Me and my friends had just came back to the lobby from a game and then we all thought we crashed but still could see and hear each other.

Edit: Had to clarify, the host did disconnect but he wasn't in the friend group so I forgot to include him.

Do the devs show what maps will be for the event prior to the day? I had fun playing on tanglewood today but got sad cause it may not be there tomorrow do they have a website or any tracking showing which maps will have the crimson eye event for the next or future days?

I need to make a list.

So to preface, I am getting a clip of it. In multiplayer game, I’m the host. 4 players.

We looped the ghost used the smudge sticks 3 in total so I could keep my eyes on it. Male ghost model, the tall one. Playing 150 speed.

Anyway kept it virtually the whole hunt till it finished within eye sight . Enough that we should have seen the shapeshift. Not a single model change during the game. No one died during the hunt. I kept watching it. We were in willow street I was in the kitchen , behind the table . No for change or anything it was an Obake. So we ruled it out. We had a choice between Obake or myling that point , 2 evidence. It was too loud for a myling, but all other options were ruled out. It was an Obake.

2 games later we were playing willow 0 evidence and had an Obake once more . This we could easily see the shapeshift during a hunt.

So I do know what to look for and how to see it. I have roughly 1700 hrs. So not a noob

We also had issues with mylings being not as quiet as they should be as well. But not during those games.

I’m guessing maybe just a game glitch at the time.

take a guess as to the ghost type lol

Hey everybody I'm about to grind Apoc 3 for Deo and I'm wondering if instead of taking a photo of the ghost can I also just record him with the video canera? I always struggle with ghost pics because of their phasing. :)

4 attempts to find the bone (twice up, twice down) zero bone.

The debrief claims it was in the 'bathroom' at Point Hope.

You tell me.

So i was playing some Restricted Brownstone Highschool right now and i got the "1F-Right" Version. Checked for the ghost room and it was the right hallway but also the hallway that leads to the Foyer... I thought that the Ghost room can not be the floor leading from Foyer to the right entrance... is this a bug or is it meant to be this way?

Playing at 120hz, moving the mouse looks smooth but walking side to side looks awful when training your eye to any in-game object (text, for example). I saw this post as evidence of this behavior:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PhasmophobiaGame/comments/1lwoxz6/severe_stutteringlag_not_fps_related/

Although it's more of an annoyance for me, I have friends who can get motion sickness from this. If you don't notice it in the first place, don't worry about this guide.

Here's the fix if anyone wants to experience a smooth version of Phasmo when playing at 120hz:

1) Download Special K from the their Repo

https://github.com/SpecialKO/SpecialK/releases/tag/SK_26_10_10

Unzip, and rename SpecialK64.dll to d3d11.dll. Place this file in the main directory where phasmophobia.exe is

Disclaimer: DLL's should be generally treated with caution. Special K is safe.

2) Launch phasmophobia. Press control+shift+backspace to bring up the Special K overlay.

3) Enter your frame limit here. I entered 120 instead of default cause I got screen tearing otherwise: https://i.imgur.com/vTS5RhE.png

4) Make sure these two boxes are ticked: https://i.imgur.com/tZ2csNr.png

5) In-game video settings: v-sync off and fullscreen

I've only tested this with my monitor set to 120hz. Could work at other refresh rates although your results may vary.

Smudged it right in the face and it hunted a minute later. thought it was a demon but nope this buggy ass game is back at it

This happened to me a while back, the clip is a few weeks old, I've been holding onto it because I was doing research to see if I can figure out what even happened in the clip and how it came to be like that. I came up with nothing, I genuinely think it was just some weird pathing the ghost took during the hunt.

Relatively new to phasmophobia (started around 1 month ago), I’ve played 5 online games today and I’ve been instantly killed by the ghost. No warning or time to smudge. Has anyone else had this?

I was playing solo on a custom difficulty with no evidence. I went inside the house and hid, waiting for the ghost to hunt so I could identify it by its footsteps.

But then, out of nowhere, a random person just appeared in front of me for a second and disappeared?!

I was playing SOLO. There was literally nobody else in the lobby.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? This is the first time Phasmophobia has genuinely scared the shit out of me lol

- it happens around 0:40–0:45 in the video.

Maybe its a bug? Even on the lowest brightness setting I can still see everything like it's daylight. There is 0 use for light sources besides managing sanity drain. When I play on my PC it is actually dark, and things like flashlight and headgear are actually useful.

Is this a known issue? Is it intended?
