Thanks for downloading the ZN-Desktop-Link!
Please read the following important information about the ZN-Desktop-Link, installation tips, disclaimers, and brief usage instructions.
Disclaimers
The ZN-Desktop-Link does not interact with, read from, write to, or modify any Phasmophobia game files, nor does it interact with the game itself.
The software is NOT a mod nor a cheat software, but simply a companion software that displays an overlay on top of the game and provides its own hotkeys for starting timers
and utilizing other tools. The use of this software will not result in a ban from the game.
The software is an extension of the Unofficial Phasmophobia Cheat Sheet. As such, the cheat sheet must remain open for the Desktop Link to work.
Any issues, bugs, or concerns can be taken care of on our Discord.
Installing
Once the .msi file has downloaded, simply run the installer and it will walk you through the installation process.
During installation, you may see the following popup window:
This popup appears anytime you try to run software that has not been officialy verified by Microsoft
(which costs hundreds of dollars per year). The ZN-Desktop-Link is safe to run and does not contain any malicious code.
You can bypass this warning and continue the install by clicking "More info" then "Run Anyway".
Linking the Desktop Link
Once the software is installed, there are 2 ways to link the ZN-Desktop-Link:
Manual Link
Navigate to the "Desktop Link" section of the "Links" tab and click the "Create" button.
Copy the code it generates (in the format of 'DL-#####') and paste that into the "Link ID" field of the "Connect to Cheat Sheet" page in the ZN-Desktop-Link software. Then hit "Connect".
Auto Link
Alternatively, you may navigate to the "Desktop Link" section of the "Links" tab and click the "Create & Launch" button. This will automatically open the ZN-Desktop-Link and connect it for you.
Usage
HotKeys
The ZN-Desktop-Link provides a variety of hotkeys to control the cheat sheet while in game, allowing you to start timers,
mark evidence, see ghost data, and tap out footsteps all without having to "tab out" of the game. The provided hotkeys can be seen and
changed on the "Connected!" page in the Desktop Link.
Settings
The ZN-Desktop-Link provides many customizable options for you to make the software the perfect companion to your gameplay.
To open the options, click the settings icon on the lower right corner of the "Connected!" page in the Desktop Link.
From here you can show/hide the overlay and ghost overlay, change the location, color, and screen of the overlays, and more.
Overlay
Once enabled, the overlay will be displayed on the screen and will be pinned to the front so that it is visible while you are in game.
It provides a quick view of the timers, the bpm/speed, the evidences, and the ghost selected/guessed.
Ghost Overlay
In addition to the overlay, there is a second overlay that can be enabled that will show you all the ghosts.
From here you can click on a ghost (or cycle through them with hotkeys) to see the behaviors and tells of that ghost.
Sanity Overlay
There is a third overlay that can be enabled that will help track your in-game sanity. When activated, it will start a timer that will
simulate passive sanity drain (based on the "Sanity Settings" in the bottom of the "Links" tab). It will also allow you to add and subtract
various values of sanity based on ghost events, cursed possessions, and more.
In order for the sanity drain to be accurate, it is important that the "Sanity Settings" are set correctly (all "Sanity Settings",
except Lobby Type, will be set automatically based on the difficulty chosen. If you have custom selected, you will need to
set the values to match your in-game settings).
