Ultraviolet Photos

[H3II_K@t]

Tried taking photos of the ultraviolet handprints on doors etc which used to count as photo evidence, but recently it doesn't recognise the photos as ultraviolet/ handprints etc. Is this a bug or has something changed recently?

Might be a bug. In the past, some doors simply didn't credit photos or had a strange detection zone, maybe they've accidentally reintroduced something again.

Also if you've played the last time like half a year ago, keep in mind that they've changed it so that photos only count, if the UV print is visible. You can shine the UV light on them to charge them before taking the photo.

A few months ago UV evidence was changed so you need to make them visible in order to take photos. If they aren't illuminated by UV it the photo cam won't see it anymore.

Charge the prints with your UV. It's 10 seconds for T1, 5 seconds for T2, and 1.5 seconds for T3. Once you've charged them, you have a few seconds to switch to the camera and snap a picture.

I've certainly noticed that it can be buggy trying to get other people to charge UV prints, but if you do it yourself it's MUCH more reliable.

Is it instead recognizing them as interactions? If you react quick enough, you can usually take 2 photos of something - one being an interaction photo, the other being whatever you photographed.

I think for uv, the photo of ultraviolet evidence is prioritized over the interaction photo, since you have to charge up the uv to take a picture.
