DOTS projector evidence

[cmacleod42]

I have played the game multiple times with Ghosts requiring DOTS projector evidence, but never once have we actually seen anything. I appreciate you generally need a video camera covering the area and check for the evidence there

Still nothing ever seem, not once!

Can people please advise on the best strategy for using the projector or a suggest of what we are doing wrong.

Thank you in advance

If you're close, you can also hear the projectors sound gets distorted when the interaction happens.

DOTS is a random interaction similar to how the book works, except you have to actively witness it happening. It's seen as a faint green humanoid shiluette running through the illuminated area. It's much easier to see with the camera night vision. The Goryo's dots evidence will be invisible to the naked eye and is only visible through the camera and if players are near/inside the dots area it won't interact with it at all.
It can take a few seconds to a minute to show up depending on how often the ghost passes it.

The devs changed this. The warble in the sound now happens at random instead of when the interaction happens.

Regarding the DOTS

It's an interaction... so at any point that the ghost is going to do a thing, triggering DOTS is one of the things that's on the list of possibilities.

To increase the chances of DOTS going off consider the following:

- Set it the center of the ghost room away from doors.
- If possible take any interactable items out of the room.

This limits the ghost's options for interactions so that when an interaction is called for its only option is DOTS.

You can do similar things to improve the chances of the book being used.

That is so sad.

Oh. Also.

You only need the camera for the goryo. For all other DOTS ghosts, you can see the DOTS manifestation with your naked eyes.

For the Goryo, you need to be at least a room away and watching through a camera. Though it's easier to just set up and watch from truck for a suspected goryo rather than try to guestimate the distance you need to be at to see it in the house.

You can actually see a Goryo without the camera too if you're still a room away.

Yeah. I said that. It's the first sentence of the third paragraph.

If you’re trying to see if the ghost is a phantom, does a ghost photo taken on dots. Still have no ghost (as per the phantoms ability) and 2. Does the photo still not have distortion? If you need me to clarify my question please ask (:

lights off in the room makes the dots easier to see

This thread was quite old before the recent posts, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
