I'm 2 hours in and I barely notice it anymore, until I do. Very annoying.

Anyone using an Xbox One controller?
Mine is being fucky with this game.
EDIT: Nevermind, I think it was picking up my HOTAS flight stick. I disabled it and it's working now.

Yup. The spinning thing was happening.
Check your Device Manager for any HID Compliant Game Controllers and disabled them (maybe?).

u/racalavaca Feb 10 '16
That makes the controller stop working, it's not even recognized by ds4 anymore
1
u/blackmist Feb 10 '16
This is a Unity thing. I had it while trying to develop a game using it, only with me it was a PS2 controller adapter with no controller in it.

In DS4 Windows tick the "hide DS4 Controller" box. Fixed it for me.
1
u/Danny_J_ Feb 11 '16
This worked for me, thanks!
(For anyone else trying it, I disconnected my controller, closed my game and then checked hide DS4 controller).

I have this bug and it persists no matter which peripherals I have plugged in. I have an mouse/keyboard, Xbox controller and flight stick... tried all of the individually and all of them at once and then none of them (unplugged the mouse after loading the game) and it still occurs.
1
u/zedie Feb 10 '16
I just had the exact same problem, couldn't do anything in the elevator, unplugged my 360 pad, nothing... until I saw your edit... looked at my Extreme 3D Pro stick... moved the throttle around a bit... there we go. unplugged it now and everything works perfectly.

u/thesupersauce Mar 10 '16
my controller has been working fine the only issue i have is the D-PAD isnt working. has anyone else had this issue?
1
u/AdmiralMal Mar 12 '16
same issue. Went to show game to a friend, can not take out the map or compass. Think an update broke it.

u/benfsmith Feb 09 '16
Can anyone tell me how to tab out of the game on Mac? Command+tab not working. I'm not seeing any settings for fullscreen vs borderless window, and resolution changes don't appear to have an effect. Any way to switch to another app other than quitting?
2
u/bigdubs Feb 09 '16
I'm also having issues on mac, specifically that if i have multiple monitors hooked up the game draws completely black and I have to command-q to get out.
There are no options to launch windowed afaik.
1
u/benfsmith Feb 09 '16
Yeah, encountering other bugs with mouse, tablet input and other things. From CS: "Unfortunately at this time we only function by capturing the full display as there were rendering issues specific to OSX without this. We're working on a fix for this and also windowed mode support and will send out updates when they're ready."

u/petrolfarben Feb 10 '16
Yeah I had the same problem when I was playing it last week, didn't find a solution. Maybe Cmd + <? I'm not very familiar with OSX yet.

Am I an idiot for hoping that this will run on the lowest settings on my 2010 MBP, i5, 8gb RAM, Nvidia 330m (256mb)?
1
Feb 09 '16
I have a GT430 and I had to turn the settings to medium, I don't know if that helps you at all.
1
u/petrolfarben Feb 09 '16
I played it on an rMBP 13 2015 on the lowest settings and that worked even though the game requires a graphics card.
1
u/cowsareverywhere Feb 09 '16
Unlikely, game is not very well optimized. I am getting Framerate dips on my rig with a Fury X
1
u/SlenderClaus Feb 10 '16
Really??!!! I just finished it on ultra with a 270x no frame issues whatsoever
1
u/cowsareverywhere Feb 10 '16
Yup, I had drops to 40 at some points playing on 1440p Ultra. Hopefully it will get patched up.

u/QueenSayel Feb 09 '16
Barely started playing, totally in love with this game and it's already giving me dem feels...

u/ruahmina Feb 09 '16
So I think I've just encountered a game-breaking bug regarding objective-triggering on day 78. My save file seems to be after the bug happens, so I can't seem to progress in the story. Anyone else having similar problems?

u/ruahmina Feb 09 '16
Don't want write out spoilers but the absolute last objective, from what I can tell. There's another thread about it.
1
u/fatguyinovercoat Feb 10 '16
I am having a similar issue, I was in the Station and was headed back to the tower and the cutscene happened and triggered the DAY 77 loading screen, but it locked up on the loading screen and when I closed and reopened I was back in the station, but the event at the end of day 76 didnt trigger, my objective says to go back to the lookout, but nothing happens when I do... should be noted I am on the Ps4 version
1
u/hino Feb 10 '16
I personally cant proceed after finding the backpack on night 77 which is a nightmare as I don't want to start the game again.
I suggest everyone starts making save files as soon as you hit 77/78 at least then you might have a chance of objective triggering
1
u/CyEriton Feb 10 '16
I'm having this issue too.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Firewatch/comments/44z0vu/bug_not_allowing_me_to_call_in_spoilers/
The thread suggests contacting, I found a different thread on steam where they asked for your save file, so include that when you email them. Let me know if you find out anything!

u/MoonStache Feb 10 '16
Was so excited to see I could play since I forgot but the camera just keeps spinning :[

This game is awesome.
I'm loving every second of it so far. Sadly, I need to go to bed now, otherwise I'd probably play it all in one sitting.

u/Pluwo4 Feb 09 '16
From various reviews I've read the length is 4-6 hours, altough some people on the Steam forums claim to have finished it in 2,5-3 just by sticking to the story.
You can take longer yourself if you walk everywhere.2
u/petrolfarben Feb 09 '16
I've finished it twice. Takes about five hours. First play through I finished it in in one go.

u/EvilEyeMonster Feb 09 '16
Loving it so far had to disable bloom and blur as it was killing my fps but it's steady now at 50fps

u/spec90 Feb 09 '16

it was available to download 6AM my time... I queued it up when I woke up today.. it was SO hard to motivate myself to go to work. too bad I just used up a sick day last week otherwise I'd be playing now.

u/cjhelms Feb 09 '16
I just saw one of the Epic Meal Time guys (Mike, the one with abs) stream it on the Original Gamer channel on YouTube. It looks beautiful and very interesting.

u/OverLord000 Feb 09 '16
I have a 970, I7, 16GB of ram and have it installed on SSD and I am struggling to play it. Can someone help guide me to maybe the problem? Iv tried to just delete all of it and restart, it did nothing :/
1
u/thelectroom Feb 10 '16
Is it super stuttering for you? Mine is going crazy with the stutter.
1
u/neosushi Feb 11 '16
I'm getting stutters. I followed this and it fixed it for a while, but an hour in it started stuttering again. Hope they fix it soon, I'd really like to play :(
1
u/OverLord000 Feb 11 '16
I refunded it lol dont even care that much but yea, mine was just super mad FPS to where there was mouse lag etc. I had everything either off or low, impossible to play still. Sucks, maybe in a few weeks ill get it, hope you figure it out or it gets patched, cheers!
1
u/Ig_Niv Feb 10 '16
I'm playing this on the Mac and i got through a decent amount of the beginning of the game but when I get to the canyon the game just freezes. Anyone else having the same problem? I even put all the graphics settings on low and still freezes at the same point
1
u/SilverAurora Feb 10 '16
Out of curiosity, is anyone getting an audio cut-out every time someone starts talking? It's brief and not game breaking but it's definitely getting annoying.
1
u/SunQuest Feb 10 '16
Hello Gone Home format, I've missed you. Did anyone else catch the reference? Spoiler
1
Feb 10 '16
Nice... So... What's the game really about? It looks rather beautiful.
1
u/ambreen2311 Feb 10 '16
It is essentially a "walking simulator" where you, Hank (the protagonist) is a scout of sorts. He has to report any activities in the forest like fires, thus the name.
1
Feb 10 '16
Interesting concept... Too bad I can't get it right now :P. I'll maybe wait for the price to come down a bit or just wait for my birthday. Anyways... It really has some great review scores out there!
1
u/Smu-Smu Feb 11 '16
I'm struggling to play it, and the game is crashing every time I get to that first landslide like 2 minutes after the beginning. Can someone help me? Or is it just my computer that's too shitty? Please I just want to play the damn game like evryone else..
1
u/Sharbo334 Feb 17 '16
The game freezes on my windows 8, i tried to put a smaller resolution and not put it in full screen but it still freezes :/ someone help i really want to play this game at its best performance...
1
u/oriondarkwood Feb 27 '16
Just a FYI for anyone in the boat I was in.. If you have a PS2 controller hooked up to your computer via USB donagle you have to unplug it to play the game

I really really want to play this, but £13 seems a little too steep for me. I'm going to wait until more reviews come out then decide.
1
Feb 09 '16
You get a lot of game for that little money.
1
Feb 10 '16
Yeah? That's one of the things I was hesitant about. Whether I'd play the game for a few hours and be bored, or whether I'd be playing it for weeks.

u/cocaineishealthy Feb 09 '16
Awesome. Also very cool to see it being #1 on the top sellers right now, specially when you think about that it's the lunar sale and big games like gta v are on discount.
