Phasmophobia Server Version Mismatch: How to Fix the Error
We are aware of the server issues. There is no ETA on what time they’ll be back up.
Thank you for your patience!#Phasmophobia

One of the issues players run into is "Server Version Mismatch" error. This error typically occurs when a player attempts to join a private lobby, even with a shared code. Below are a couple of things worth trying to "fix" the issue:
- Make sure all players select the same server region. Switching regions may solve the problem although latency and connection stability may become another issue.
- Check if all players have the latest Phasmophobia update installed.
- Check if all players opt for beta. If some players are in beta servers while others are not, then both groups are not accessing the same server.
- Change server region, reset the game, then revert back to the original region. Though, this solution is less consistent and is not a guaranteed fix.
