poltergeist vs Demon bugged?

[Zathra]

last match i got a 100% confirm with Freezing breath. ghost writing and fingerprints so it should have been a demon but when we finished the round it said it was a poltergeist but it never gave me a Spirit box in the room the hot spot was.. so i dont fully get why i was wrong. i know what i was looking for and we didnt get any spirit orbs or anything else. it was a pretty cut and dry case. maybe these ghosts need to get some patches because it feels a bit buggy

If you were going by the breath - it might have been a false positive caused by that ghost ball event... as it causes some vapor after it hisses in your ear which can be mistaken for breath.

If you were using the thermometer, make sure it actually dips below the freezing point (0C or 32F)... being slightly higher cannot be used as a rule of thumb anymore, they fixed that awhile ago

In either case - behavior should have been your big tell you got something wrong. Demons hunt pretty aggressively and more often.

Hard to tell if it is a bug or not without a video. There are currently some glitches with the lighting system, one of which can cause an effect which looks a littlebit like freezing breath.

Also as wolflink said, a ghost ball looks like breath, though once you hear the hissing, then make sure to not take the smoke ball as evidence.

As for the spirit box i need to ask if you know how the spirit box works exactely:
- Were the room lights off?
- Were you alone in the room in case of a shy ghost? (for professional or higher always assume, that it is shy until proven to be non-shy)
- The ghost will only ask when being in the same room as the one who asked or within 3m. Taking that into account, did you make sure, that the ghost was actually there (for example due to activity near you)? Also make sure to check adjacent rooms to not be tricked by a ghost in the next room throwing stuff in the room you currently are in
- Did you check it multiple times? Given that it is only a 67% chance of a ghost answering, you should definitely try it like 10+ times at least and preferably another try every few minutes, if you want to be extra sure
- Also did you get the X often enough?

Also if you doesn't get the spirit box right away, it might be worth throwing them on the floor switched on. If you're still talking within the game with each other, then you might get the automatic question every now and then. Not as effective as using it actively, but it can give you a lucky evidence while doing other stuff.

appreciate the info. no ghost ball or orb. and it was a consistant below 30. not minus but it was cold cold

You're playing at Fahrenheit? then everything below 32°F is considered freezing.

For °C it is below 0°C, so with that setting you don't need to look at the number and can solely rely on the minus sign for the evidence.

But when you're playing with °F, then it shouldn't have go below 32 at any point, so having it still do so is definitely a bug then.
