Ghost don't care if you hide behind a door anymore.

Before the patch it was clear for me that if you hide and close the door the ghost will not kill you.
After the patch things changed.
I tried it with different ghosts to get them angry from a different floor, when the hunt began i was managing to hide with a close door. Everytime the ghost was there and killed me. My teammates told me that the door was closed so the ghost got through it. They saw it on video camera.
If something changed please inform us how this work.

Thats normally the wraith that can go through walls and doors. Some of my mates get killed through doors already before the patch, a few times. We guessed it was against wraith or maybe because of the 0% sanity as well idk

wraiths and apparently phantoms can see through doors and move through walls. all other ghosts can go through doors but not see through them, so they'll only wind up in a closed room with you if they spawned there or it happened to be a part of their random wandering.

Occasionally any type of ghost can clip through walls and kill you. Only really happens if you're close to the wall though. My guess is it's something with the maps, not the core mechanics.

Every ghost type can go through closed doors (wraiths can additionally go through walls). This can be seen while dead. There are no doors visible when dead for the players, it's the same for the ghosts. Also if you follow the ghost while hunting as a dead player it occasionally steps through doors regardless if they are open or closed. Closed doors only break line of sight to the ghost. There is still a chance that it just randomly enters the room with the closed door. While hiding in rooms with closed doors gives you a better chance of survival, since line of sight is interrupted, it is not guaranted.

^ This.

Ghosts additionally had some AI upgrade last patch in October. They will now go to your last known location if they have no other viable targets. This makes sense given what I have seen. I watched someone through a camera last night as a hunt unexpectedly started while I was out getting more equipment from the van. I watched as a ghost walked down the stairs in high school as its room was up stairs. It saw someone go into one of the rooms downstairs. It walked right up to that room, walked through the door like it knew they were there and killed them.

So my guess was it heard/saw the player enter one of the rooms downstairs, had no other targets so just kept trying to follow that player. The other thing too is that the player was hiding behind some kind of book case or object that you could see through. Because the ghost tries to draw a line of sight check to your head, its possible it could actually see the player's head through the door and the object as it was not a solid object. I feel the safest times I have had when being hunted by any ghost was when I was not in line of sight of the door, hiding behind a big solid object, or hiding in a closet/locker inside another room with the door closed. I rarely get killed and I always have my flashlight on. I think I've maybe died 3-4 times and I'm over level 160 now.

Doors never stopped a ghost from going through them, it just blocks light of sight. So if you go into a room the ghost wont follow you into the room, however the ghost might walk into the room randomly. Ghosts patrol around and there has always been a chance they might randomly walk into a room. They tend to stick to a set area where they patrol, which is usually down long hallways and across living rooms and stuff like that, however they do go into rooms.

One example is they will almost always enter the ghost room itself, which is why hiding in that room can be dangerous. Even if it spawns in the hallway, chances are it will walk into the ghost room and the door does nothing to stop it. They can however also walk into other rooms. Usually they don't but they can.

That is why I typically run a short distance before hiding, because near by rooms might be in their patrol path and you want to avoid that if possible.

Ty all for the info.
