Ghost evidence doesn't seem accurate?

[Punished Spicee Chib]

What exactly is the criteria for freezing temps? We just had a temps drop below 0 and saw our breath and then it ended up being a ghost that didn't have freezing temps as evidence.

the breath doesn't indicate freezing anymore first off - it just means that it's sufficiently cold.

Also one has to keep in mind that the temperature changing got slowed down a bit so it takes longer to show up. This can allow the ghost to roam about and keep the temperature from dropping too rapidly to get an accurate reading

Finally, a non freezing ghost can get the temperature to drop as little as 0.1 C (or around 33-34F)... wheras a freezing ghost can go much lower (like to the point where it is significantly noticeable on the tier 1 thermo)... up to -5 C at least, so if it is consistently hovering at 0 then it's probably not freezing.

If using the tier 1 themometer, you gotta look at it really closely, cuz the red line can look like it drops below 0, but actually be just a tiny bit above it.

Protip: Your temp was at 1 degree. Not 0 or under t all.

Stop. Being. Wrong.

If the ghost in your investigation does not have freezing as an evidence type, you will not get temperatures below 1.0 C.

0.9 C is confirmation of freezing as an evidence type. This is developer-confirmed as of 2 months ago.

That only applies to T2 and T3. T1 thermo is completely accurate and can go as low as 0.1C.

The same rule applies to the T1 thermo as well, it stops at 1C for any ghost that doesn't have freezing as evidence. You just have a harder time making out decimals on the T1.

more to the point - this was just a misread of the thermometer, nothing more. The finer details are more or less irrelevant as to what happened.

And yeah... I only use the tier 1 because it's so accurate. I know it's a bug but hey... as far as I'm concerned, a beneficial bug is completely fine.

Why should they go out of their way to implement 2 seperate temperature calculations, just to add a visual effect, most people can't even see due to the resolution of the monitor being too small to see a significant difference of 1°C and 0,1°C on the T1 thermo and even running the risk of people misinterpreting 0,1°C from 0°C due to it literally sitting on top of it due to not having enough pixels to seperate them visually?

I guess people never learned how to read a thermometer

I basically have to squint at the t1 thermometer in vr because of how often the damn temps sit a pixel above 0. It's so frustrating.
