Ghost-hunting sim Phasmophobia has just rolled out a hotfix to address some of the issues that crept in with its highly-anticipated Ascension update earlier this week.– rolled out on Thursday. Whilst it's been welcomed by most of the community, a handful of issues – including performance woes and a problem with the falloff volume of ghosts, making hunts considerably trickier – have marred the launch.Kinetic moved quickly to address reports raised by its community.

The Incense hunt effect duration – formerly known as Smudge Sticks, and perhaps the biggest issue to plague fans since the new update went live – have been fixed, too, so they will no longer"sometimes set to 0 seconds" and get ghosthunters unwittingly killed even if they theoretically managed to light a Smudge Stick in time.

Admittedly, the hotfix hasn't quite addressed all the stuttering and freezing issues, but Kinetic has"temporarily" removed the VR social screen mode"due to severe performance issues", and the"main menu performance has been improved", along with a"significantly improved performance of saving and loading from the save file".
