Ghost face does not work right

I don't know if i am the only one noticing this, but ghost faces stalk does not work right, i can 12 meters away have him center of the camera and it won't expose him, instead he can just stare at me and expose me. Note i am talking addonless, this is something i have noticed over just about every game since he's been out of ptb, it's gone from over sensitive, to never exposing him unless i'm on a hook. Also note i am not talking looking around things or over things, this is just me walking/running and looking at him out in the open. If anyone has also been noticing this i would like to know how you've been dealing with it. or if this is just something dumb that is just not working as intended.

    I’ve noticed the same thing. I can stare at him when he is right in front of me and it won’t expose him, instead I’m the one exposed. Of course he is in a better place than he was in the first PTB, but I have only broke him out of his power once. I think you have to position him in a certain way to expose him.

    I don’t think he is OP but just frustrating to go against. It’s not like he’ll be a staple in high ranks, within a week the hype will be over and players go back to Billy and Nurse....or in my case The Legion (I get them A LOT), oh joy.

    I think this is the big change that they already mentioned, not sure how soon it will be implemented but people are calling it a "nerf." Really I think it's just fixing a bug.

    Had the same thing, played 4.5h session as survivor against 99% ghosts and mid chase or behind trees/ directly in front of or behind him barely works. I think I did it successfully three times at a distance. It’s definitely a bug fix, I had one particular match where I could not break him out at all despite him being clear view 90% of the match (he wasn’t particularly hiding) and even when directly in front of him.

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one having this problem, after reading people saying how easy it is to break him out of his power. Yesterday, I found him many times in the open, looked straight at him and was still exposed almost everytime. I was playing with a friend and same thing was happening to him and we were thinking what were we doing wrong, if looking at him directly wasn't working.

    Haven't played against him a lot, but I had the same experience.

    screen detection range INCREASED by 8% is a nerf. They dont NEED to do it right now on day one of release. People havent figured out 100% in 12 hours how to do it correctly (its easy if you dont play immersed af) Typical survivor pandering from BHVR.

    Why not think, hmm lets see if the present stats work out over time rather than just jumping the nerf gun like they usually do against the killer community..

    He is very hard to pull out of stealth if he is crouching, even if he is right in the middle of screen. I was playing survivor a bit today, all killers are GirlFriend, and pulling him out of stealth is pretty difficult even if he is not hiding. I got me exposed faster that I detect him, and it was first time we met, so I wasnt prestalked.

    Lmao it isn't hard to expose him, but honestly he is weak if he goes straight after you, you should stalk from a distance get them 99 then expose when close, mothers dwelling is the best for this

    You need to put him on the center of the screen, idk how doing it is hard? You can even do it while hiding behind a wall as long as you have view on him.

    It works for me and the surv that face me when i play him sure manage to break me out easily as well so idk watcha on about.

    i don't care if he's nerfed i want his detection fixed, as i said in the post, i can be standing not even 16 meters away and out in the open and looking right at him and it won't brake him out. i don't play immersed, i do gen run if the killer gets close and if i get chased oh well let's go looping.

    i have him center screen, my camera steady on him as i stand there, peek around ######### and run away, very few times other then when i'm slugged or hooked does the music that plays to tell you your braking his stealth even start playing when i'm having a staring contest with him.

    I have taken my meds for the day thank you very much, and as i said in the post i have him center cam and the music that tells you your braking him out doesn't even start and i just end up exposed.

    Then idk, it's very weird cuz it works fine in the matches i play, maybe a bug or something.

    today it seams to be working better, but that's probable due to the 8% increase, but yesterday just felt jank and like it would never work unless i was a slug or on a hook.
