Well, folks, Phasmophobia has rolled out a hotfix for its recent Winter’s Jest event. If you’ve been wandering around those haunted halls and tripping over bugs more than ghosts, you’re not alone! It’s always a bit of an adventure when developers respond swiftly to community feedback.
The Kinetic Games team has deployed a patch today that tackles several pesky issues players have encountered. It’s like getting a surprise gift after you’ve opened all your holiday presents, unexpected but welcomed!
If you’re curious about what’s been fixed (and who wouldn’t be?), check out the official patch notes linked below. If you happen to stumble upon any further glitches or want to share your thoughts with other players and the devs, hop onto their Discord channel. They do love hearing from their fans!
Patch Notes
New
-
Steam only: Added a global leaderboard to track player’s event progress. This will display the Top 10 players across the world.
-
Note: Steam players will be able to see PlayStation and Xbox players on the leaderboard. Due to technical issues, the leaderboard is unavailable on console.
-
Changes
-
Added lights to the tinsel and adjusted Warehouse decorations.
-
The weekly and daily tasks will now reset when the event starts and ends, instead of carrying over non-event progression.
Known Issues
-
When using ‘Random Map’ and you start a hunt on one of the Winter’s Jest maps, the weather will also be set to random.
-
Some player names will not be displayed on the leaderboard due to having unsupported characters in the name.
Fixes
All Platforms:
-
Fixed several issues that were causing snow to clip on Event Maps.
-
Fixed an issue where a wreath was blocking the fuse box in Bleasdale. This wreath has been removed.
-
Fixed an issue that was causing Blood Moon weather to happen to select players in a group, rather than all players. Now, if the Host gets Blood Moon weather, all players will.
Xbox Series/PlayStation:
-
Fixed an issue preventing players from receiving the seasonal daily and weekly tasks.
Additional Notes
-
In a future update, we will add an additional leaderboard to show your current position.
