"The ghost can very rarely change its preferred room after moving"

[Diiba]

The ghost gave us 3 different rooms with the ouija board on the new map and the ghost orbs completely disappeared after the first time it moved from where the orbs were originally, really starting to feel like just avoiding the game until everything's patched...

Changed rooms with us too on nightmare, but wasn't that bad. The ghost orbs went along just fine.

Yeah but this was just professional and as the patch notes state it's supposed to be "VERY" rare

The Oujia board no longer tells you their preferred room, but rather the room they are currently in. The campsite can be difficult at first because room borders are less defined than within a house and some locations are less obvious, like the lakeshore behind the house.

It never told you the preferred room. It always told you the room the ghost was in.

We did ask the favorite room twice, only asked once where it was at the time

Yeah, you can ask what is its favorite room, and it will respond where it is. Asking "What is your favorite room" never gave you the ghost room, it gave you location of the ghost. You could easily test this by having motion sensors check when the ghost left the room and asking "What is your favorite room"

Well that just makes the new map even worse than I presumed since the temps are all over the place so can't use those to find the room, and the hunt starts randomly from different places constantly. Had no orbs or freezing either so couldn't use those to pinpoint the room. All I want is some consistency from the game right now, the EMF is not trustworthy, we rarely get 5 on it, choose the other option based on other evidence and ghost behavior and after the game says it was the EMF 5 ghost.

Note: The Ouija board only ever reveals the ghost's current location.

This has been tested.

"Where are you?" gives the same result as "What is your favorite room?" and both have given current location rather than preferred room/ghost room for months, probably as long as the game has been running.

Don't trust the ouija board to give you the preferred room.

The only solid evidence of which is the preferred room is the appearance of orbs. If orbs move, that means the preferred room has moved. But the ghost can literally be anywhere on the map, though it won't usually go that far from it's preferred room.

Trick is to use motion sensors and sound sensors. Set them up and observe where the ghost frequests. Setup cameras and dots in choke points and see if you can catch it. Go around with voicebox and try to get response.

Once you learn how the new map works it's relatively easy, one just needs to learn where the pathway "rooms" are. Hint: look at the lights. Each light network is its own room.
