Uncapturable Ghost Bug

[Elbow]

Hello, just reporting this weird bug quick. Was on Whitestone Museum with a friend hunting an AI ghost, Poltergeist, and.... the ghost was uncapturable. Not sure why. We tried multiple times, he would just twist around over the trap but would never go in.

It wasn't a case of "the ghost kept escaping", no, the trap would just never even initiate the trapping sequence. Eventually the timer ran out because no matter what we tried or how many traps laid around under it, it just ignored them.

This has been a bug since release. Thankfully it's pretty rare, but I don't expect it'll be fixed anytime soon.

Ahh, I thought it might be something new; hadn't come across or heard of it until today. That's a shame, but thank you for letting me know it's already known.

Sometimes it's a player using a cheat engine too, I have had matches where the person playing as the ghost literally does nothing and wont go into the trap, it just instantly fries it's battery.

Yup, seen that before. The trap frying itself is the dead give away the persons cheating. I always just leave the match when I see that.

Just so you guys know, there is an active thread on their Discord about this bug.
Last I saw the devs had asked for vid evidence of this to try and figure out what's going on.
Haven't been over there in a few months though so status may have changed, but it might be worth checking

You know, I actually do have a video of the first time I saw it happen. I was playing on a PS5 at the time so it auto recorded the play session. Maybe I'll poke my head into their discord to share it with them.

The problem with trying to catch it on video is that it occurs so infrequently that some people will play for hundreds of hours and may never see it. I've been playing since the games initial release on console and have only seen it twice.
