Are we ever going to get a reveal mechanic fix?
Seriously, Ghost face goes up a tier or two on my list just because of the inconsistency of his being revealed. What happens a lot is I'll stare straight at him to reveal him, meanwhile he's stalking me. The music plays like he's about to be revealed, but then he gets 99'd and it resets entirely, and then I get exposed and downed for no reason. People say he's too easy to reveal, but I just take that as a joke at this point. It would be nice if we knew where on our screens he should be to reveal him. Center right? Center left? You can't reveal him when he's directly in the middle (even though that makes the most sense) because your character covers him up! I think he should also be revealed easier when leaning because I can clearly see him still and he doesn't get revealed. I run Spine Chill on all my characters so I know when he's coming, yet it's all for nothing since the game bugs out and doesn't reveal him like it should.
You've addressed all the killer sided bugs in haste except this one. Get on it.

I personally have never had a problem revealing Ghost Face after I seeked for information how it works. So here's the info for you and everyone else having problems with it:
- The Ghost Face has to be in the middle area of your screen BOTH horizontally AND vertically, the area is about 30 percent of your screen in size
- You have to see over 30 percent of his body to be able to reveal him, seeing his mask when he leans behind cover isn't enough
- If your character's model is in the way when you try to reveal him, it won't work.
Also try and ask for a friend to help in KYF and learn the camera gimmicks to get him in the right part of the screen. Hope this helps.

Let's not forget survivors revealing him through a solid wall because they glimpsed him for half a second through a window. Or the fact that the 3rd person camera makes it so that they can reveal you and you have no idea where they are.

He needs some fixing all across the board. Sometimes survivors can't reveal me when I'm right in front of them. Other times I get revealed behind a wall.

Well, you're the exception. Yes, do try it in KYF and you'll see very clearly that that's all good in theory, except it doesn't work as intended in practice.
Also, sure you have to look at him with the center of your screen, but your model counts as a LoS blocker. And guess what's in the center of your screen...
Yeah, probably someone at BHVR didn't think this one through.

The reveal issue goes both ways though. I've played as Ghost Face and been revealed after I hid myself behind an object. Just yesterday as a Survivor I was revealing Ghost Face and even after he went around the corner of a building, when I no longer had any vision on him at all, I still revealed him somehow.

I've lost count of the number of free kills GF has gotten because I can't reveal him even when I am staring right at him.

That doesn't happen.

It happens sometimes. The mechanic is wildly inconsistent.

I've had these issues myself. Sometimes as GF I'll get the notification, so I'll quickly crouch and hide behind an object, but boom, broken out and the survivor is way off in the distance, so the object should have stopped it. Then there are times the survivor is right there in front of me and I get the slight reveal notification, but it never works. Then as Survivor, the same things. I break him out even if he gets into hiding, or even when he could be leaning from cover, or I can try while mid-chase and despite being 100% in my view, no blocking, it won't break him out. It just feels like GF's reveal is super picky about when it wants to actually work.

I don't USUALLY have trouble revealing Ghostface, but every so often I'll have a game against him where I CANNOT reveal him before he exposes me. It's infuriating, especially since I generally have no trouble as long as I'm aware of my surroundings because I do know how to reveal him properly.

I've wondered if it was add-ons but there has never been any consistency at the end game with what add-ons they've had. The last time I went against a Ghostface he didn't have any add ons that would have affected his stalk, but both my boyfriend and I had trouble revealing him- it was 4 or 5 times that game where we got exposed even when trying to reveal him and it was really weird.

I stared at a standing GF while at a junk tile. My Survivor was turned towards him and looking directly at him. He still fully stalked me. How has this not been fixed yet?

Ghostface is a weird one, I saw a ghost face stalking me, and I ran right up to and crouched in front of him, staring at his face, and he still got his stalk off and one shot me. It was the start of the match, and we saw each other, and I thought I might as well meme, and besides I'd rather take a hit than be exposed, but nope, even when you're staring at him, directly in front of him, he will still get his stalk off.
He is easy to reveal my ass.
