Hello everyone,
I would like to report a bug affecting (the Steam version of) Stardew Valley on macOS when using an original wired Xbox 360 controller.
The issue is that the vertical joystick controls for both the left and right analog sticks are inverted in the game and its menus. This means that when I push up, the character moves down, and vice versa. Similarly, with the right stick, the mouse cursor moves in the opposite direction of input. However, horizontal controls work correctly—moving left or right works as expected. Additionally, the D-pad functions without any issues.
I tested the same Xbox 360 controller on a Windows notebook and an android smartphone with the game installed, and it worked as it should. On macOS, I also tried a different Xbox controller (a Moga XP5-X Plus), which did not have inverted controls. (However, with the Moga controller, the game often crashes upon connection, which is a separate issue already mentioned by other forum users.)
I attempted to remap the controls using macOS controller profile settings and Steam Input settings, but the game seems to ignore these adjustments, as the controls appear to be "hard-coded" within the game.
This problem does not occur with other games on macOS.
It persists across all game versions available in Steam's beta settings, including the legacy versions.
For reference, I am using macOS 15.1 (on an iMac M1), and no mods or SMAPI are installed. The game's language setting does not seem to affect the issue.
If any additional information is needed, I am happy to provide it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Best regards,
Eon
