Hey everyone. I was really hyped for this new Phasmophobia update, but after playing just two matches, I’m honestly so disappointed. The game is full of bugs right now. If this is all I found in literally two games, I don't even want to imagine what else is broken if I keep playing. It feels like a very poor update and the devs still have a lot of work ahead of them.

Here are the issues I noticed right away:

No pickup animations: When you grab items from the map, there's no animation. The item just stays floating in the air and you can see your hand at the bottom holding absolutely nothing.
Jelly legs: The character's leg is completely glitched. It just spins around and looks like jelly.
Sound overlap bug: If you carry the tier 2 thermometer and the tier 2 camera in your inventory, pressing the button to turn on the thermometer actually plays the sound of the camera taking a photo.
Tier 2 candle bug: If you place the candle down before the animation fully finishes, it stays lit. But when it goes out and you try to light it again while it's on the floor (without picking it up), it doesn't actually light up, it just randomly glows.
Tier 2 lighter freeze: Do these even have gas? Because when they run out and you throw them away, your character gets stuck in a really weird animation like you're still holding something, and it literally won't let you change items in your inventory.
Spirit box mic: My mic suddenly doesn't work for the Spirit Box. I don't know if this is happening to anyone else?
Bad customization: The new character customization is really poor. There aren't even hair options, and when you try to put on rings or piercings, the camera doesn't even zoom in on your hands or face so you can actually see what you are doing.
Broken neck model: When you look up, your character's neck just clips straight into their head. It looks completely broken.
Endless bugged sounds: For a whole 20-minute match, the sound of a door moving just kept playing on a loop. It was absolutely blasting my ears the entire time and literally never stopped.

Has anyone else run into these issues? I really hope they drop a patch soon because right now it's a mess.
