It has never worked.
It's extremely inconsistent for both sides and I doubt it will be fixed.

There's nothing to "fix" because it does work... there was just 1 little oversight.
The "reveal zone" is mostly at the center of your screen. Reasonable, right? There's just 1 problem: your hitbox that is centered on your camera also covers Ghosty. Meaning where most of the "reveal zone" is, is also completely worthless because it's covered by your own model. Combine that with the 1.5 sec buffer and latency and dedicated servers, and you have a recipe for pain.

I've said it for a long time:
They need to change the Reveal mechanic from a 2 dimensional area of the screen behind the survivor to a 3d invisible flashlight beam emanating from the survivors heads (due to size differences between the models this would put it at emiting from the avg male survivors chin, and the avg female survivors hairline). Think something like the killers red stain, only wider, invisible, and extending as far as 32 meters, but like the killers Red Stain and flashlights, It's distance can be blocked by objects, especially when the survivor is crouching below them.
This way, survivors can only reveal Ghostface when their characters head is high enough to see him, so no more crouch-hiding behind a box to reveal him, or using the 3rd person camera to reveal him around corners, but it also ensures that the survivors reveal mechanic isn't blocked by their own model anymore, and that a relatively unobstructed view of GF will reveal him every single time. To me, this idea just seems more fair, and will work better than the current system does, but what the hell do I know... I'm not a game developer.

That would be even more clunky than some people consider it right now. On top of that, due to weird hit boxes on certain objects, as that would probably be used for tracing your line of sight, I guarantee you, it would be billion times worse.
It works just fine right now, besides some weird percentages of people who cannot hold GF around middle of their screen without blocking their Los with their own character.

Just got 20M reveal last game when I'm behind a wall peak to a gen and survivors are totally behind the gen and I can't see them at all. U need to gid gud

Yeah because most ppl look at the sky when trying to reveal him...
No its not works just fine, i play against him alot and every time he expose me while he out in the open like Myres.
the only times works is when 2 survivors look at him at the same time.

And last game I got revealed from 30 M away a running survivor looking behind while I was chasing him. Maybe u just suck?

Well thats why it need to be fixed.

Then stop looking into said sky.
All it takes is hold him for a while in central part of your screen. Doesn't matter if your character model has line of sight to him or not. You can be fully behind a cover and still reveal him.
It is all on you if you sit in the damn open against GF and expect to not be exposed.
Hide your model and be on lookout. If that is too much, use spine chill if you are having issues with being constantly exposed.
Hell, toss in Premonition if you really want to.
You will still be exposed anyway sooner or later, but revealing him is just as easy.
Practise your aim if you cannot hold something in the middle of the screen for just a few seconds, it should help you in that situations.

I don't really see it that way tbh. Yes, there are some objects the killers stain currently shines through, but because of this change, those would also have to be dealt with properly. On top of that, It makes the whole reveal mechanic more fair for both sides: Survivors can't reveal GF without exposing themselves to being stalked by him, and GF can't stalk survivors who are obstructed by objects. Currently, this is not the case, as any survivor can and do often reveal him from behind cover without ever presenting a target for him to stalk. It is admittedly bad on the reveal side because the survivors own model can block the reveal, but if this were in place, then they would never have to worry about that. I'm talking about an invisible Flashlight beam that extends 32 meters, and is as wide as 2/3rds of the center of the screen starting at the survivor models head! This would not only emphasize the add-ons he has that reduce range of reveal, but also the ones that reduce how much he is exposed before being revealed. However, it does come at the risk of exposing oneself, but to me, that seems like a fair trade for his mechanic to be honest.

Stood 2m away from an AFK ghostface and didn't break him out of it. Yesterday I chased one for 20 seconds and didn't break him out and then again he walked straight towards me and he didn't get broken out.
It's broken atm, its worse than it used to be.

i've had this happened to me plenty of times and it's super irritating. Sadly I don't see it being addressed.

The only problem with Ghostface reveals mechanics is you. Yes all of you who keep making theses pointless threads. Nothing is broken, or bugged. You are just doing it wrong and refusing to learn how it actualy work.
Revealing Ghostface is the easiest thing in the world and require zero skill. You just need to understand how to orient your camera and the game give you an audio cue when its working.
Just learn how the mechanic work and do it properly. I believe in you.

They're fix GF as soon as they fix Nurse's bugs :P

I think what people hate is how damn inconsistent it is. You can be in the open and close enough to give him a protstate exam and nothing will happen and you can be behind rocks specifically trying NOT to reveal him so your hiding spot isn't compromised and the game will start to spot him.
Is it IMPOSSIBLE that all these threads and my own experiences are because we all suck and don't know what we're doing? I suppose not. It just seems more likely that GFs reveal mechanic is just frustratingly inconsistent, if not downright broken...

His mechanic is broken. Im good with expose GF but sometimes It doesnt work, like, literally, nothing happens. (center camera, close range and nada)
I hope they look into it

Bull, I look into his soul .And if he has the green pin he will always expose you. I use to take advantage of that untill I learned it was glitched. Now I won't use any add-ons that make reveal faster. Cause me personally feel like exposing people is cheating even though I'm all ears is an ok perk.

Guys, BHVR has a 5 year window to address killer problems, after release. Just give it time. Another 2-3 years tops and he will be running perfectly.

.... green pin? He didn't even have a pin add-on; those belong to Legion. Even if you meant Green Pen, it doesn't make you stalk faster. It just lowers the recovery time.

No the long green pin or clip what ever it is hold up

I got them at the house I'll give you the name when I get home.
