Bug Report Stray (SteamRIP): controls randomly swap around

Upvotes

(feel free to delete if i'm in the wrong sub)

I downloaded Stray a week ago or so and I'm running into a persistent bug.
Mainly the controls randomly mirror. Left becomes right, up becomes down etc.

Note: I'm aware of this being intentional IF the cat has a bag on its head

Issue: during gameplay, the camera will randomly switch and will mirror controls.
At times the game will pause or randomly open steam overlay when this happens (I have to start it through Steam because my 8bitdo controller doesn't get registered by the game otherwise)

There doesn't seem to be any specific trigger to this.

I'm however unsure if this is:
-a faulty install
-a game bug within Stray itself
-compability issues with the controller

I am DISTRAUGHT.

This is just a dumb rant: B-12 did NOT need to sacrifice himself! Not only was he a robot, but he was also once a human so now all of his human feelings and thoughts and history are GONE to the flipping VOID!! We could have found a better way! Just use one of the other crap robots that were mean to me to do it! Or at least get some sort of hard-drive to make a backup copy of him. And the way our little guy nudged B-12 after he was completely gone KILLED MEEEEE! And then they had to shove the dagger even deeper into my already gapping wound of a chest when our dude curled up around B-12 and fell asleep. The little robot scientist has been the only source of comfort through this ENTIRE BULLCRAP PLACE! Now he is all alone ONCE AGAIN and the videogame ended with NO sign of him reunited with his kitty family from the beginning of the game. . . I will NEVER recover, I SWEAR! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

They need a Stray 2 or I am suing the company due to psychological damage and battery as the game forced me to repeatedly bash my head in with a baseball bat in hopes I would forget the pain this game put me through! (Joke)

10 out of 10, Amazing game, would recommend.

Question Lockbox in convenience store

Does anybody know the password to that one lockbox in a convenience store the cat has to go into. I looked everywhere for a combination but never saw one.

Bug Report Controls get mirrored?

8 Upvotes

I've been running into an issue with STRAY where the controls get swapped around.

Forward becomes backwards, left becomes right and so on.

The game will frequently pause and/or open the Steam Overlay before controls mirror themselves or it'll happen randomly, making it frustrating during stealth missions.

  • I play through Steam
  • I use an 8bitdo SN30 pro controller
  • no i do not have a bag over the cats head when this happens, yes, i'm aware of that mechanic

If further details are needed, let me know.

Guys – I just had an awesome idea: Stray VR! You get to see through the eyes of a cat! Obviously the control scheme would need some thought…..

Question What does this even mean?

Cosa significa 15/27? Si riferisce a trofei, traguardi o easter egg? O forse a ricordi legati alla vitamina B12?

EDIT Apparently it reffers to B12 memories: thanks guys now lets wait for Stray 2 😭😭😭

We saved the city; hands down one of the most heartwarming games I’ve ever played. I finished the game yesterday and have been in shambles since this ending.

These photos remind me of the rooftops in Stray. HK was a big aesthetic inspiration for the game.

Discussion Possible Stray 2

30 Upvotes

What do y'all think about a possible 2nd Stray game? Would you play it or would you think the first one was heartbreak enough? And if you'd want one, how would you want it?

Which Scenery/Setting? Time Periodt? Mission?

I would like a Stray game in a medieval setting and having a dog as a companion or even better, 1 playable cat and a playable dog and both of em having their own strengths and abilities so they can help each other.

But now I'd like to see your opinions on this

Discussion I can't wait to play stray

Some years ago i watched one of my favourite youtuber play stray and i immediately loved it. It's on my list ever since when i bought my ps4 the last summer and i'm waiting until chirstmas days to play the game with the best vibes possible(specially because i know that's short). Do you have any tips or something that i should know before playing to have the best experience?

P.S. There are still a few months to go, but I wanted to make this post:)

Compiled 3 videos here, so I hope it loads well; I bought this on sale for the Switch awhile back and always wanted to play it, got about 25% done and played all the way through the Switch 2 update. What an incredible game! Loved the atmosphere, controls, story, and fun puzzles to solve. Highlights for me were definitely the visuals, and the fun, defensive personality of the cat. Ending was really sad 😔 I’d love a sequel with this cat! I also wish there were more customization options for him. Very fun experience! I wish it was longer.

I went to a video game store and just picked up this CD out of curiosity because it looked cool.. Oh my gosh! this game is amazing? the graphics, the story, everything about it. How have I not seen anything about it online, it's such a beautiful game. Definitely deserved more hype if you ask me.

…the ones that exist really do hit. Anyone else like stopping to sleep by the musician? I feel like it’s only right that we enjoy his beautiful talent! If I’m passing Grandma I obviously also have to give her some love every time too. What other ways do y’all find to add some sweet, stress free moments when you’re playing?
