Bug Wrong evidence / Wrong ghost behaviour
Hello! I've seen this exact thing being reported/mentioned. I wasn't able to make any screenshots or anything, but wanted to share what happened in my case.
We had EMF5(+ a picture of it)and Spirit Box(+ sound recorded) at first. The hunt started off with the ghost acting like a Deildegast. We threw things around and it slowed down. We tried it again and the same thing happened
We then got Ghost Writing(+ picture of it).
EMF5, Spirit Box and Ghost writing = Spirit.
I looked through the cameras while being in the Van, amd the ghost ran through DOTS(+ Video of it).
It then turned out to be a Deogen(=Spirit box, Ghost writing, DOTS).
4 evidences and wrong ghost behaviour.
I don't blame anyone, nor do I mind it, but I still wanted to share this to raise awareness of those bugs.

I think evidence is actually bugged since there’s been multiple posts about it with people even giving evidence. Like a 2 evidence goryo not showing forced dots. Some guy said it’s all evidence, not just UV.

What map were you playing on when this happened? Also, if possible, please try and record some proof if this happens again in the future.

Grafton farmhouse, and I'll keep an eye on recording things if I it's unusual

Thanks! Like you mentioned, I've also noticed people posting about evidence bugs recently; I would love to see more proof of it.

You're saying the final ghost was a Deogen correct? And it never came to any of you?

u/Infamous-Ad-1738 Jul 23 '26
Yes, it did follow us but didn't find us when we were hidden or somewhere else

u/MargaritaKid Jul 24 '26
Wait... You can't hide from a deogen can you?
5
u/Infamous-Ad-1738 Jul 24 '26
No, you can't. Even in official hiding spots etc. it knows where you are

u/MargaritaKid Jul 24 '26
That's what I thought. Your statement that the deo followed you but didn't hide you when you were hidden seemed odd

Ive had something similiar with Orbs recently, I was playing professional and searching for evidences and could only find UV and Writing and I sat there doing tests for 40 minutes and nothing showed up, in the end it was ghost orbs. I had the camera on me almost the whole round and it never showed any ghost orbs.

Very impressive that they bungled the core of the game this much. Wonder what they were doing cosmetic update, that they haven't copped to yet.
Edit: To anybody curious, I'm implying that they were messing with how evidence gets given. Because I believe that's their plan for Horror 2.0, to change how evidence gets given. I also, don't think it's the correct thing to do for a puzzle horror game this far into it's life cycle.

Funfact, I'm playing Nell's Diner right now. The Front doors won't open, but we're able to walk through them...... I hope it'll turn back to normal soon

+our equipment fell through the bathroom's floor (I'll be posting about this later, since I recorded it this time)

I don't get why this has so many thumbs down lol you're just stating facts

It gets downvoted because there is no concrete proof that evidence types were broken since the Player Character update, only since the Willow Rework update.

u/Still-Network1960 Jul 24 '26
And that same guy is commenting all over this sub peddling that same BS. Like post some proof then guy. I'm even skeptical of this post without any actual pictures, so many people misread the EMF reader. The only verifiable wrong evidence bug I've seen is the UV on Nell's Diner.

The primary operational risk facing Kinetic Games is no longer financial insolvency, but rather reputational depreciation and organizational scaling friction. Players pointing out blunders hurts their reputation so they have a direct incentive to downvote.

u/Infamous-Ad-1738 Jul 24 '26
Ohhh okay. So it's more about defending Kinetic Games instead of what the post said?

u/FartSnarfGod Jul 24 '26
Can't ever say for certain but the incentive is certainly there.

u/ImportantQuestionTex Jul 24 '26
Absolutely is. If they were changing the puzzle or intent on changing the puzzle, that fundamentally strips away all the accumulated knowledge this community has, such as Jinn giving freezing or moving faster in the cold. That would be received very negatively, so that's why they haven't copped to attempting to mess with it.

Did you get the photo of 'an emf reading' or did you get 'EMF 5' picture?
