Phasmophobia Update v0.18.0.1 Fixes Photo Cameras and Hiding Spots

Phasmophobia update v0.18.0.1 tackles photo camera bugs, twitch cosmetic issues, and ghost pathing exploits across multiple houses.

Patch v0.18.0.1 for Phasmophobia corrects a wave of animation bugs, photo capture errors, and hiding spot exploits introduced in the previous major update.

Photo Camera and Animation Fixes

The patch resolves multiple issues tied to photo cameras, including interference with other player animations and missing use animations in multiplayer sessions. Dropping a camera while taking a picture will no longer trigger an unintended extra photo, and picking up a camera dropped by another user will not force a stray snapshot. Incense usage will also properly register as used even if opening the journal interrupts the animation.

Map Exploits and Cosmetic Fixes

Ghosts can no longer path into invalid hiding spots on 13 Willow Street, 6 Tanglewood Drive, 42 Edgefield Road, and 10 Ridgeview Court. Missing Twitch Drop reward ID cards and badge cosmetics have been restored to player inventories. Additionally, videos capturing a hunting ghost will now correctly count toward completing the Apocalypse challenge criteria.

VR Stability

Virtual reality players will see performance relief with a fix for unstable frame rates while lingering inside the truck, alongside a fix for loading freezes when entering multiplayer sessions on Bleasdale Farmhouse.

Why this patch matters

Version v0.18.0.1 cleans up frustrating camera glitches and closes out unintended ghost entry points in standard houses, stabilizing recent content additions.
