What's going on?

Players all over Russia (especially in Siberia and the Far East) are experiencing instant disconnects after logging in or creating a lobby in Phasmophobia. The error reads "Client Timeout" and you're kicked out of the game.

Reddit thread: "Disconnected Client Timeout literally every game"

"Recently, when I play Phasmophobia, 99% of the time I get kicked out of the game with the error 'clientdisconnect:timeout'... My internet is completely stable - other games work fine."

This seems to be a widespread issue. Players are reporting random disconnects, often just a few minutes into the game, even when the connection is working fine.

Other comments mention:

"Never had this happen before, but now I'm getting timeout errors in every session - sometimes after 30 minutes. I've tried almost every solution on the internet. Nothing helps."

What Russian players are saying (June 2025)

• "All VPNs over WARP no longer work."

Users report that Cloudflare WARP is unable to connect.

• "Changing providers or waiting for the block to be lifted are the only options."

This reflects growing frustration, especially in regions like Siberia where server access is completely blocked.

• "Phasmophobia follows the same setup as Dead by Daylight."

The DBD In-Depth Guide recommends:

1. VPN
2. Tools like Lagofast
3. Special routing via custom DNS or MTU edits

Probable causes

• Instability on the server side (according to some reports, problems with Photon servers).
• Poor routing from Russian or regional providers, especially after the introduction of infrastructure restrictions.
• No backup logic or reconnection in Phasmophobia - the game simply times out.
• The issue persists even after recent updates, despite the fact that the developers have already mentioned it in previous changelogs (for example, version v0.9.4.3).
