Have you ever tried to play a game on your phasmophobia screen only to find that it suddenly freezes?
When something like this occurs, it’s not the end of the world, but it may be really annoying.
Continue playing even if the screen on your phasmophobia game stops responding by following the steps in this article to unfreeze it.
How to Fix Phasmophobia Screen Freezing?
- Give Your PC A Restart
Sometimes all you need is a good old restart. Sometimes our computers can get bogged down by too many open programs or processes, which may cause sluggish performance or even your phasmophobia screen to freeze.
If you’re experiencing any issues with your computer, try restarting it before anything else.
- Check for Game Updates
There could be several reasons for why your phasmophobia screen is acting up. Check if there are any new updates available for your game and update it accordingly.
Also make sure you’re using a good internet connection when playing phasmophobia as it might cause severe lag during playtime which may result in error messages during gameplay.
If these don’t work, uninstall and reinstall your game or just delete it all together.
- Close Background Processess
If your computer locks up and you are unable to restart it, one of the first things you should attempt is to close all of the apps that are currently running on it.
You may do this by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del on your keyboard and then selecting the End Task option for each application that is currently running.
You could also check the apps that are currently operating in the background using the task manager on your computer.
(Ctrl + Alt + Delete) and then clicking on the Task Manager option under the Programs section of the Start Menu.
If there are any applications or programs that aren’t required, you may exit them by right-clicking on them and choosing the End Process option from the context menu.
When you are satisfied with those steps, you may exit Task Manager by hitting the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys simultaneously.
After you have completed these steps, try restarting your computer by pressing the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys simultaneously once again.
- Verify Integrity of Game Files In Steam
Steam has an option built in where it can verify all game files are present and accounted for. To do so:
Open Steam Click on Games in your library Scroll down to bottom right corner, click Settings In General tab, click Verify integrity of game files when asked if you are sure you want to verify integrity, choose Verify Repeat these steps every time you start Steam or if your game continually freezes.
