Yurei Leaving UV Footprint

[BasicallyADemon]

so I literally just had a match with my friend and He & I both saw a UV footprint when it shut the door fully and when the match ended it was confirmed the ghost type was Yurei. Do Yurei usually leave UV evidence??? We are so confused

[Shurenai]

Just to be clear, When you say UV footprint you are referring specifically to the glowing green footprints that can appear on the ground- NOT to a footprint in a salt pile, right? The former is UV evidence which a Yurei shouldn't be able to leave, The latter is just an indication that a ghost has stepped in the salt that any ghost except a Wraith can cause.

OP: if it is actually leaving UV footprints like described above please capture evidence to confirm the bug. Hearsay alone isn’t super reliable.

We had already finished the game by the time this bug happened and it was my friend who saw it first and told me so if this does happens again i'll be sure and try to get evidence

Also, since we don't know the map you're playing on, the easter event right now is making orange bunny rabbit prints show up under UV in certain houses. Hopefully you didn't see some of these and get confused.

we were playing on 6 tanglewood drive since we typically grind on that map so I'm unsure if what my friend saw before the UV timeout hit was green or Orange..

Tanglewood doesn't have the bunny prints so that helps.

It sounds like you or your friend were confused, they may have said they got footprints (in the salt), which you assumed to mean UV evidence.

Hi, sorry, I'm the friend in question. I saw an actual glowing UV footprint on the ground NEXT to a salt pile, not the salt pile itself (which had been stepped in about 10 minutes before).

As far as I know, salt piles are single use, and the UV footprints appear as soon as its stepped in. With a limited time duration, there shouldn't have been any UV footprints at all after 10 minutes.

After stepping in salt (assuming the ghost has UV as evidence), anywhere the ghost walks to within the next 10 seconds would leave footprints, and those footprints only last like 10 to 15 seconds. (As an additional note, that also means that a ghost with UV evidence may not leave footprints at all, if it doesn't move after stepping in the salt. Which means that UV is still a possible piece of evidence even if there are no glowing footprints to be seen.)

This sounds like the Easter event or a bug concerning that. Or just a mistake in general.

C'mon man just admit it's the game fault this time

After reading everything myself on this thread, I have to agree with Cereal honestly...

All we are relying upon here is word of mouth, which in most cases can be just simply mistakes. We would ideally need to have physical proof, or a way to consistently get the problem to be replicated... to which neither have been provided.

Not to discredit that what these two witnessed actually did happen, but if I were a game developer... if I were to follow every claim on a "trust me bro" mentality it would almost assuredly slow development down exponentially while I blindly investigate, which is especially not ideal if half the time it ends up being a wild goose chase through the code.

To summarize: saying a bug exists is *soft* evidence, but developers would ideally prefer *hard* evidence such as a screen capture, or... even better... a scenario in which they can consistently recreate the specific issue that you experienced
