Phasmophobia’s v0.17.1.1 hotfix takes aim at crashes and Kormos bugs

Kinetic Games released Phasmophobia Hotfix v0.17.1.1 on May 13, 2026, trimming down a handful of bugs that surfaced after the game’s latest update. The fix list is short, but it covers visual stutter on held items, several crash cases, and a pair of problems tied to the Kormos enemy. It also corrects a naming issue in Coffee World, with one known bug still hanging around in the Truck when players use CCTV and a Spirit Box at the same time.

• Fixed several issues that lead to game crashes.
• Fixed an issue that caused the Kormos to detect dead players and attempt to kill them.
• Fixed an issue where the Kormos could detect sound from dead players.
• Fixed an issue where the Coffee World tent names were incorrect.
• Other fixes and improvements.

Known Issues

• Players can become locked when interacting with the Truck’s CCTV screen while using a Spirit Box.
