- Fixed a bug where the Ouija Board would not play a sound on the first letter movement
- Fixed a bug where the ghost could not turn on and off lights when the host was dead
- Fixed a bug where the other players photo camera screens would turn on when they walked out of the truck (this is intentional for performance reasons)

- Fixed an issue where some blocked hiding spots in Bleasdale and Grafton were stopping you from interacting with certain objects
