Ghost face - bugged or intended?
I've played a few times against the ghost face killer the last days and I've noticed, even if I spot him peaking around a corner and looking at him the whole time, I can't reveal him. That isn't what I've been thinking how ghost face works. If I look at him for a short time, I should be able to break his "hidden" state, so he can't stalk me for a one hit.
I've experienced similar, when ghost face was about to chase me in another match. I looked at him right at the start and continued to do so, to get sure, not to get a one hit. He just stopped for literally 1 second, stalks me to 100 % in the same moment and got me with one strike shortly after that. Not even the sound appeared that I was about to reveal him.
How does this work? Is the ghost face mechanic broken or are there some mods for this killer. I couldn't find any perks or addons that could cause this, in the matches I mentioned here. I don't play killers, so maybe there is someone who can explain that to me.

Intended. You're doing the wrong thing to reveal him. Learn how he works and you'll be able to consistently reveal him whenever you want. There's also add-ons that make it harder to reveal him. Learn how to run instead of standing in front of him, and he won't even be able to use his one-shot.
I'm sure you'll get better eventually.

You need to see at least 30% of him(pretty sure it's 30%) .
And he needs to be pretty much deadcenter on the screen, with nothing in the way. (Including your own body)
That's how you reveal him

Also remember that Ghostface can stop his stalking at 99% to catch a survivor in a bad spot later on. This is useful for running into a chase head-on, quickly flicking you stalk on, and getting that last percent. Similar to how survivors can 99% exit gates and quickly flip the lever as the killer approaches for a clean getaway.

i actually think there is a bug. i have come across the same issue where i can't reveal him and i know other people have also had the same problem. it's only started happening recently

20% of Ghost Face's body must be visible by the Survivor revealing him. He also has to be in the center of your screen. If he crouches or gets behind something within 0.3 seconds of revealing starting, he will stop being revealed. Failing to hide after 0.3 seconds will cause you to be revealed even if you started hiding. The game coding counts the central 26% of the screen as the detection zone. 32 meters is the default range at which he can be revealed.

I have the opposite problem. Trying to hide against him and he walks by the screen and a quick reveal sound followed by him doing a quick 180 right to my location. Good times.

Ghost Face usually can’t be revealed if you just stare at him because he’s juking behind cover.
You have to make him move by running away while looking at him or ducking to cover yourself.

Bit of both.
People asked for a buff. So they buffed him. Sure it doesnt work correctly but at least people cant say he’s weak anymore.
Its more of a half-assed effort than anything

The Reveal mechanic is just broken from every aspect.

Love that everyone can describe how he works, and people still come in complaining that he's broken.
If you're so positive that he doesn't work, get footage of it and give it to the support team in a bug report. It'll do way more than just complaining that he doesn't instantly break shroud as soon as you become aware of him.

Common guys, at least with the second example: He was 100 % visible behind me and nothing happened to reveal him, while he was chasing me. He just need to stop for a second to stalk me and he was able to do it, although I had clear view on him.
I can accept that it isn't possible to spot him, if something hides parts of his body, but I really have the feeling the ghost face spotting mechanic doesn't work accurate. And I think people know that and abusing it. I don't want him weak, I want a fair game. If I spot him behind me uncovered (in a chase), it doesn't feel right, that he can stalk me (that quick) nevertheless.
Still, thanks for your answers.

that needs a fix.

Bugged when I face him, intended when I play him.
I've had him about 75% on screen, within the middle 50% of it with no detection. It seems to work just fine for others when I play as him, but eh. I rarely touch him.

The absolute state of this and its been like this for over half a year now. Sadly they’re afraid to fix it because they know the community will complain they nerfed another killer

If they fix him not being able to be revealed, I hope they also fix him being revealed through solid objects and around corners. I totally understand not being able to reveal him is frustrating (though I have never personally had it happen) but it is also frustrating when you are chillin' and get revealed from behind a wall.
