Actually taken ghost photos are no recognized as ghost photos in journal and objectives.

I often make ghost photos during a hunt, if it is an optional objective. But if i do, sometimes it does not count although you actually can see the ghost on the taken photo in the journal.

Here is an exampel:

Obviously, it's just one of your friends in costume trying to pull a fast one.

I get this, too, from time to time.

I have no friends, thus it cant be a friend. xD

All kidding aside, it's really annoying and ruins the game mechanics when ghost photos don't work reliably. At times I even took 5 photos of a ghost, all of which didn't count and I therefore couldn't fulfill the optinale objectives and achieve a perfect game.

What helps me is as long as it is "photo of ghost" and not "three star ghost photo" Fill book with good 3 star photos for perfect. Take tons of pictures of ghost during any event or hunt spamming camera at every safe opportunity. One of them will eventually count even if it doesn't go into your 'album'. Win :D

Hunt photos are always so hit-or-miss for me, I stopped trying to get them. At this point, if it's not an event, I don't even try to get a shot with the camera any more. Makes it take longer, but it's at least more consistent.

Once we are able to delete photos that aren't needed It will make hunt photos much more viable and the tier 3 and 2 photo cams will actually be a worthy upgrade so you can spam photos during a hunt without any consequences

I think there’s a bug in the photo system where you need to be within a very close distance (but not too close) for it to count. Idr the numbers off the top of my head, but I remember people saying the distances kinda ridiculous.

Taking a photo of a ghost in DOTS counts, FYI. Dunno how long that has worked but it's been an easy source of 3 star photos for us (at least, when they are a DOTS-able ghost).

Did someone else get a photo of the ghost before you?

It's either that, or he was trying to take a picture during the hunt and it resulted in getting pictures that did not have the Ghost flickering in a manner that matches up to the Server.

This isn't a Peer to Peer server connection, so even the Host will have this issue.

First 2 pictures at the top were ghost events, only the last one was a hunt. Also it was an offline game.

There's so much bugged trash in this game. Pictures are just one of many things that never work
