Annoying glitch

[IsaWP]

The camera keeps scrolling all the way to the right almost everytime the camera tries to follow the seed.

same here

Same here, please fix :(

It scrolls to the end sometimes randomly for me. Sad because this is an otherwise awesome game.

[MeisterJohnny]

Yep... same problem... annoying :(

[ExperJota]

Same. The camera keep going to the end of the map in some animations, sometimes in a really slow speed. Problem to fix please

[kamsh.arcfire]

Same here :c and my best friend has the same problem... Sad, I really liked this game

that's not a glitch, it's a nonverbal communication, telling you what's your goal to achieve, it's a nudge to move you in the right direction
now the main task of the game is to figure out how to do that ...

or you just consult the guide someone has already written, how to achieve the goal in the shortest way possible without a thought what this is all about

Seems like a glitch because when I played the game the first couple of times, this was not a problem.
If it is intentionally, it would be nice to speed this up..

[spielerinchen]

yeah, the game is not perfect
i'd suggest, just relax :)

It is definitely a glitch, I played this game when it was still online, it is not meant to scroll ALL the way to the right with everything you do. It goes way beyond where you actually need to go to the next area of the game.
Honestly, if this was intentional it would be insulting, as if I would forget I want to keep going to the right every 10 seconds. Pointing out glitches is not meant as an attack to the developer.

Hmm. Not sure how I missed this thread.

Both edges of the screen have an invisible hitbox. If the mouse is in the left-edge hitbox, the camera is supposed to scroll left. If the mouse is in the right-edge hitbox, the camera should move right.

Occasionally, I will move my mouse to the edge of the screen, so it's not blocking my view of the game, and leave it there. It's a habit useful in workplace apps, but not in Sprout. When I do this, the game will just keep scrolling ... until I realize what I've done.

That may or may not be the source of the problem. I'll mess around and see if I can reproduce the issue. The camera should go all the way to the right during the intro sequence, but otherwise it should either follow the seed, or follow the mouse.

Thanks for playing! We'll do what we can to keep the game stable, as hardware and OS's evolve.

Have you had a chance to check for this problem? I tried it again today and am still seeing the issue. Not sure what kind of information about my setup or about the problem itself I can give you to make troubleshooting easier, but I'll subscribe to this discussion to try and be as helpful as possible

I'd really like to play this without this issue some day!

Thanks. I appreciate your time and support. I've been unable to reproduce the issue on either my development system or my gaming system (both Windows). Could you tell me about your setup? And, if it's reproducible, would it be possible for you to make a short video, to help me understand the steps that lead to the problem?

In all honesty, it's possible I'll be unable to address this issue. As an indie developer with limited access to test hardware, there will be some issues I may be unable to address. But I will do my best.

Sounds good! I've uploaded a small video showing the bug here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1cBpEbMA44

I made sure to include my mouse on the recording so you could see that it's not just me holding the mouse to the right and scrolling accidentally. I also tried hitting multiple keys on my keyboard to see if anything was weird there, but it didn't seem like this game has any keyboard support.

Added some general data of my setup to the video description, but it's also a Windows computer.

Let me know if I can help with any more information! And no worries if you cannot get it fixed. I'm also a developer (although not of videogames) so I know how card it can be to track down this kind of stuff and not having enough resources to do so

That's super! I'm going to be a little slow. I won't have time to look at this in detail till next week. But I have put it on my schedule for next week. Hopefully, I'll find something. Possibly not. Either way, I'll let you know.
