Invert Ship Y-Axis

[rugged robin]

For the love of all things, can we at least get a dev response that they're aware of the lack of inverted ship Y-axis? I'm sadly having to shelve this game which I was having a lot of fun with because of this "bug." The game's a blast, grats on a million sold, but this seems like a pretty simple thing to patch in given it works in 1st person, and oddly when you invert HORIZONTAL it works for ship vertical.. I've searched all over and can't find this even recognized as a known bug other than people here saying "it's a bug."

I'd love to be playing, but unfortunately I'm one of those weird people that grew up playing flight sims way back in the day and got it ingrained in my head to invert Y-axis for looking in games. There are DOZENS of us! 🙂 But really, please fix this, I'm surprised no modders have yet. Thank you.

They have addressed it as a bug and are supposedly working on a fix.

I searched and searched for something from them but found nothing, only other people asking for inverted ship controls. If that's true then that's great to hear.

I also posted this to their new Bug reporting website they launched today, just to keep it on their radar. Can't wait for this to be fixed!

[tiny flint]

I did as well. This should have already been fixed..

[tiny flint]

Here is to hoping that this is fixed in tonight's patch

[zenith vortex]

😭 god yes please. further into the game i go the harder it is because of the more ships and enemies i face having to fight handicapped with upside down controls. thinking of just shelving the game until its fixed as its becoming not fun tbh

[tiny flint]

I got to that point after my first few ship battles. I haven't played since day two I think. It would be so jarring going from on foot to the ship to back on foot. It was just too much for something so simple to fix.

[rugged robin]

Same, and honestly if I'd have gotten to the ship combat faster, and seen this was the case and was under refund time limit, I probably would have refunded. In retrospect, I'm glad I kept playing on land because the game really is fun, I WANT to play and look forward to being able to. But for now it's just collecting dust in my steam library until this is fixed, I can't play without it and I need to sail to progress.

Can we have a separate setting ? I play inverted but not for the ship, so know I can't aim properly anymore.

That's an interesting conundrum as an inverted-Y user, our brains all work in strange ways don't they. You might want to post it on their new support site, maybe under ideas? I actually thought they'd end up making it a separate setting. sorry that what was a fix for people like me ended up messing yours up. here's their ticket site: https://windrose.support/
