Intermittent disconnects both mid-investigation and in lobby

[LSRLVR]

Unpredictable disconnects and inability to rejoin investigations kneecap my ability to progress or make money on multiplayer.

Internet connection is wired and frequently tested with 70-200Mbps and 30-80ms latency. PC build is more than well suited for gaming.

I appreciate any tips or fixes people would like to offer - although I'm fairly sure I have tried everything I can. I hope the devs are working on addressing this.

I play multiple online multiplayer titles that do not suffer from anything more than the occasional SLIGHT lag-spike... nowhere near anything that D/Cs me.

I have this problem pretty often as well...

I have done a significant amount of research and apparently the developers had a plan to incorporate a reconnect button, but I am pretty sure they archived it because it would get an AFK player killed due to hunting.

It would be nice if they allowed you to reconnect and you spawn back in the van, but I don't think that will be happening anytime soon.

Hello there!

Usually getting kicked mid in an investigation round is caused by an unstable wifi connection, you may have the strongest wifi connection with high upload/download speed, but it doesn't mean it's 100% stable. When you are playing phasmophobia packets are sent constantly, if your wifi has a slight hiccup you'll get kicked.

We usually fix this issue by letting the user playing with a VPN such as ProtonVPN (Free at medium speed) or you can try using Warp it's a wifi booster that basically replaces your DNS with the fastest one out there which makes it more stable.

Hope some of these fixes help, if otherwise, feel free to join the official phasmophobia discord server and make a thread in #tech-support and one of our volunteers will assist you ASAP!
