Only game on steam to not understand switch controllers?

Like it registers, and it has 1 weird hiccup. A and B face buttons show the correct glyphs, but X and Y register as the other.

This never happens, either A and B are swapped alongside side X and Y or all 4 face buttons work properly. WTF is happening?

There seems to be a misunderstanding of how the switch controller is laid out in the code, despite the controller image on the controls screen showing a switch controller.

we have 1 problem here. you dont own the game here on steam. do you ever hovered over the mouse icon next to peoples names and readed what it says? so, you either exposed yourself as pirate now or you own the game somewhere else plattform wise and just did a typos.

furthermore, if you play this game on PC should you use either an Xbox controller or playstation controller (Xbox would be optimal). nintendo switch controllers are not supposed to get used on PC´s.
i mean, i know its possible but no dev so far took nintendo switch controllers into account since they have aswell a diffent signal too (aka you need to do certain stuff that the PC even see´s the nintendo switch controller properly and even then is it not always working like it should). Y and X are swapped around on xbox and switch controller. the game is probably assuming that you use an Xbox controller.

you could say now "see its the games problem" no, its not. you´re not supposed to use a nintendo switch controller on PC. it was never intended by nintendo that it works.

Dude I use family sharing. My brother owns the game. I use my nintendo switch controller for all PC games is I like the nintendo set-up and I have a switch and not a PS4/5 or xbox.

Edit: A and B are also swapped on nintendo switch. My point was, I am used to seeing all 4 face buttons messed up, but not just X and Y. And steam has an option to have it so games that display Xbox buttons only still show the correct glyphs. As my switch controllers's A button reads as a Xbox A button to steam. And whatnot.

no, you dont.
and to add to this
this game is not the only game which does this. literarly every other game which expects you to use an Xbox controller literarly has that problem (like elden ring or the dark soul´s games) so, sorry but, it isnt the only game on steam which does this.

so, stop playing your pirated version with a nintendo switch controller.

Ok dude, check my recent activity and steam achievements. I don't think you can get those if it is pirated.

Lastly, I play Monster Train, One Step From Eden, Hi-Fi Rush, Aegis Defenders, and Children of Morta with a switch controller no issue after using steam's whole integrated support for pro controllers.

fact is, nintendo switch controllers are not supposed to get used on PC. it doesnt matters if you play all your games with it. and if you really do should you know that cult of the lamb is certainly not the only game which thinks that you use an xbox controller and therefore your buttons are swapped around.

again, everygame does this since the switch controllers should technicly not work on PC but peoples found their ways anyways. so, i say again, get an Xbox controller or, get used to it (which you should since you say that you play all your games with the switch controller and all games having the same issue).

yea, but. without those "intigrated" settings would have those games ALL the same issue =P. or it wouldnt even work in the first place.

A and B are swapped from nintendo switch controller to Xbox. Why on earth does it tell me to press A, I press A and it does exactly what I want it to do? If it really was backwards, why is steam not fixing it like it does for literally every other game. If steam isn't fixing it, how comme A and B work? If it is fixing it, why are X and Y not working?

You didn't even read my initial point.

Edit: The game clearly recognizes it as a switch pro controller as well. It even tells me to press Plus and Minus instead of start and select. And ZR instead of RT. And that makes sense as Cult of the Lamb is on the switch as well.

you flame about that a controller which you shouldnt use on PC does not properly work for PC games.
you should expect that. you can not negate that argument. if you want to play cult of the lamb properly with a nintendo switch controller have you 2 options.
the first one is:
buy the game on nintendo switch. tadaaaaa, you can play it on your switch without issues.
and the 2nd one is:
swap the buttons via the intigrated settings, problem solved.

now will you problably come with "but it has a switch release, why is it not working"... well, i explained that atleast 2 times already. switch controllers are not supposed to get used on your PC. i dont know why you dont understand that. you cant blame the devs either for it because they probably never expected (since they shouldnt get used on PC) that someone uses a nintendo switch controller on PC.

all i can say at the end is, sorry that i called you a pirate, that was a mistake on my end. everything else is correct though. nintendo switch controllers are not for use on PC. ya need to do all kinds of shinanigens that a switch controller works on PC. seems like you need to deal with it if you plan to continue with the switch controller UNLESS the devs add a nintendo switch controller detection ... which i doubt will happen. PC´s on their own have problems to detect said controller properly.

and now made i you probably furious but am done, bye o_o.
you should´ve understood it by now.
