BUG FIXES
Equipment

- (Spirit-Box) Fixed a bug that would cause Spirit-Boxes to continue making sounds, even while turned off.
- (Photo Camera) Fixed several bugs related to object detection. You should no longer be credited for ‘Cursed Object’ in photos that do not contain a Cursed Object.
- (Spirit-Box) Fixed several instances of the entity not responding to the player when it should have, even while using a spirit-box.
- (Spirit-Box) Fixed a bug that would cause the Spirit-Box Radio effect to play when it was not intended.
- (Spirit-Box) Fixed a bug that would cause only the Host to hear the EVP sound effect.
- (Spirit-Box) Fixed a bug that would give several, but not all players, the ability to hear spirit-box evidence.
- (Spirit-Box) Fixed a bug that would cause the EVP sound effect to play, even with no spirit-box present.
- (Spirit-Box) Fixed a bug that would cause the EVP sound to play every time the spirit-box was turned on. Every player except the one turning it on could hear this.

- (Cameras) Fixed a bug that would cause a video camera with night-vision activated to also activate nearby photo camera night vision.
- (Cameras) Fixed a bug that broke some of the camera controls in the vehicle. They should now work correctly.
- (Vehicle) Fixed a bug that could cause the vehicle door (after breaking) to block entry/exit to the vehicle permanently. This would make missions impossible to complete.
Ghost AI & Behavior

- (Ghost-Player) Fixed a bug that would cause entity-explosions to push players through walls, or into walls (stuck).

- (Writing) Fixed a bug on Extreme difficulty that would make it very difficult to get the ghost to write or draw in the Writing Book.
- (Ghost) Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the ghost to stand completely still while attacking, rather than chase the player.
User Interface
“* (UI) Mostly fixed the UI freezing/breaking. The ‘show exorcism module’ specifically would get stuck, and force users to have to restart the game. This was caused by an animation error.
It CAN still break, though it is exceedingly rare/difficult to break it. We will look into this more with time.”
- (Missions) Fixed a bug which caused ‘Extreme – Short’ missions to not show up in the Free Contracts selection.
- (Ghostpedia) The ghostpedia should now reset correctly upon starting a new mission.
- (Language-Ghostpedia) Having a selected evidence, then changing language- will now appropriately update the language for all evidence (except the Ghost Descriptions, in which case, you will need to switch ghost type back and forth to update it) (we will correct this at a later time).
Maps & Generation
- (All Maps) Adjusted the size, and position of several pentagrams, surface writings, and surface drawings.
- (Lobby) Adjusted the position of several objects, and text-boards.
- (Lobby) Slightly adjusted the “multiplayer is in progress” notice-board.

- (Japan) Fixed a spot where players could get stuck on the main stairway.
- (Japan) Removed/fixed several invisible walls that got in the way.
- (Japan) Lowered the ambient sound of the bamboo temple, to be more in-line with other maps.

- (Manor) Fixed a bug that would cause the front door of the manor to break, permanently locking unfortunate players inside of the mansion.
- (Manor) Fixed a bug that would cause the two sofas near the entrance to blink in and out of existence. We’re sad to lose the quantum sofas.

- (Barony) Fixed the invisible ledge that could partially block players from entering the building.

Multiplayer & Network
- (Players) Fixed a bug which allowed players to join missions which were already started. This caused many issues.
- (Ghost) Fixed several instances of the entity being easily avoided (during attacks) if you were a non-host player.
General Gameplay
- (Crash) A severe bug causing crashes for several players has been found, and fixed. It was related to a problem with the physics of objects.
- (Sound) Fixed a bug on Cemetary that would cause your footsteps to make no sound.
- (Unconscious) Unconscious players can no longer sprint (or be out of breath). This may be reverted/changed in the future, once we are able to address a few bugs with this.
- (Ghost) Ghost-explosions will no longer interact with Cursed Objects. This is to fix rare instances of ghost-explosions pushing necessary objects outside of the map, making it impossible to exorcise the entity.
