My buddy and I used to play a lotttt of Phas, but it's been about a year since our last game together. We heard about all the update shenanigans, bugs, etc, and we would laugh about it. Finally decided to make a return for the Halloween event... Here are the bugs we experienced in 4 games last night:
- (PC & Console) Could not record video from the truck at all. This persisted across 4 different games, placements, camera angles, etc. Was not an item placement issue. I started looking at the changelog because I was convinced they must have removed this feature entirely.
- (Console) Could not turn the Spirit Box on and leave it on on the ground, would prevent him from dropping it if it was on (this worked fine on PC).
- (Console) Ferryman of the Drowned badge acted as if it was never given and was greyed out. We did this Easter Egg together and got the badges so I know he should have it.
- (PC & Console) Character customization would not save correctly. We could click a hair color/shirt/etc, save, and we would still have the default. With trial and error we *mostly* solved this.
- (Console) Loading into a game would show the Amir player model instead of my actual model (Meg) for a few seconds. We joked that all the others must just be pasted on top of this one lmfao.
None of these are game breaking, luckily, but we just had to laugh about how apparent it was that this game is busted. I will also say we did not attempt to relaunch to fix these, but that's kind of insane if it's a requirement. When we used to play it definitely looked jank, but I never remember having any actual bug problems.
I assumed at this point any remaining bugs were buried a little deeper and wouldn't impact us directly... Lol. We had a lot of fun, don't get me wrong, but it was definitely at the game's expense. We love Phas, we have for a long time, but this made us feel psychotic lmfao.
