Mysterious Stranger Issue?

[devol]

I've only actually seen the mysterious stranger one time, and his presence was announced by the usual sound of ominous piano chords playing.

However, since I've found him the first time, all I ever hear is his exit sound (the electric guitar strum), and never his entrance sound.

Is this a bug? I'm hearing the exit sound about once every 2-3 minutes, and it's getting irritating that I can never see him despite only have a few rooms to look in.

The volume of his music depends on how far your zoomed out, which I think is stupid.

I've found that the volume of those ominous piano chords is determined not only by the zoom level, but by how far off center screen he is when he spawns. Do you happen to zoom all the way into your rooms often? I've only encountered one instance where I've heard him disappearing without hearing him appearing first.

This might be it honestly - I rarely zoom in.

It seems to me there are some areas he likes to hang out more often than others - particularly in elevators and the vault entry room ...

Shot of him in the Vault Room here:

Then it's a matter of quickly clicking on him before he disappears and he turns into a pile of bottle caps ... sometimes it's a big pile, sometimes, like here, it's a much smaller pile ... but then, I think it might have to do with how often you've nabbed him lately ... this makes 3 out of 4 tries for me in this sitting, I think !

Same bug here. Exit sound but no mysterious stranger to be seen

Several times I've heard only the exit sound, and a few I've seen him fade out. Today I even saw him appear with no entrance tune(I happened to be looking right at the room because I was debating which to upgrade next). There were some other sounds happening at about the same time, so maybe it gets bumped?

I also have this bug on the Nintendo Switch all fully updated as of the time of this post. I hear an electric guitar strum every 30-60 seconds (not 3 piano notes I see described all over) yet I have never seen the mysterious stranger. The noise and controller vibration are driving me mad.

Because of all the suggestions I started using the switch screenshot facility to pause the game in the background while I scanned the screenshot for the mysterious stranger. Tried this about 10 times and he's not there. I only have 7 rooms and 4 elevators to check.

I dont even bother with it anymore, if I run into him, then its good, otherwise I just ignore it.

Yeah. the Mysterious Stranger is an issue, i mean it is pseudo 3d elements in 2 d element, depends from which angel you are looking, you see or don't see the Mysterious Stranger.

I think there are two kinds of Stranger: 1st as fast you can get him, so more caps you can get
and 2nd as late you can get him, so more caps you get
it includes low or high Caps gain.
