DOTS Projector doesn't work

[quack quack quack]

Just had a game where the ghost walked past active DOTS projectors multiple times and nothing happened, even though it turned out it was a ghost that had DOTS as required evidence. One guy in my group said he'd had 3 other games with DOTS being a piece of evidence for that ghost but not working despite being used properly.

My projector starting flickering / flashing, but no ghost appeared by it. Was not during a chase.
I think the idea is that the invisible ghost is blocking some of the light.

Weird, we saw nothing like that even though it was a DOTS ghost.

Was it a Goryo? I've been told that it won't show up on the DOTS projector when people are nearby. I know it works because I had a Banshee trigger it multiple times earlier today.

I think part of the problem is that the journal describes it wrong. I played several games with someone and we tried using the DOTS projectors a lot without any results until the last game. The journal says it will show a silhouette, but it seems that this is wrong. More accurately, it's just a projection of lights and if the ghost steps in its (very small) range it blocks off some of those lights. Which may not necessarily create a silhouette unless in a hallway or something. So I think part of the problem is merely the description is misleading and not quite right.

That said, it does definitely need more range. It only goes a few feet from the projector itself.

I believe it was, that's good to know.

There really does appear the silhouette of a ghost. Really it depends - how far it has run from the center of the DOTS projector. If in the middle, a pale white silhouette runs quickly, like from the movie Invisible Man. And if along the edge, a silhouette of a body part appears, which is really hard to see. By the way, the full-fledged silhouette I saw when I was killed. I saw part of the body on the camera.
P.s. dots projector is a terrible tool. You have to look at it constantly and for a long time to detect the evidence, and there is no guarantee that you guessed the position. And if a silhouette does run and you don't notice it, you can wait a long time. It would be more convenient if the developer introduced the ability to record from the video camera and rewind it to the right time. That would be the point of these uncomfortable and almost useless tools.

Там и правда появляется силуэт призрака. Правда это зависит - насколько далеко он пробежал от центра DOTS проектора. Если по середине, то быстро пробегает бледно белый силуэт, как из фильма "Человек-невидимка". А если по краю, то силуэт части тела, который и правда очень тяжело заметить. Кстати, полноценный силуэт я увидел, когда меня убили. Часть тела увидел на камере.
P.s. dots проектор - ужасный инструмент. Для выявления улики нужно постоянно и долго смотреть на него и нет гарантии, что угадал с положением. А если силуэт все таки пробежал, а ты не заметил его, то можно долго ждать. Было бы удобнее, если бы разработчик ввел возможность вести запись с видеокамеры и отматывать ее на нужное время. Вот тогда был бы смысл в этих неудобных и почти бесполезных инструментах.
