Pressing A Button Pauses the Game

I'm playing on an Xbox One Controller on PC, and for some reason most of the time I press the A button, it toggles the pause state. If I spam the A button as the level starts, I can get Celeste to jump. The right bumper will sometimes toggle pause, but not as consistently as the A button. Awesome work though, thank you so much for making it!

I'm getting a similar issue, which is strange because I played through the whole game yesterday and nothing like this was happening. Super weird! Restarting my pc and closing all other programs didn't do anything

Update: fixed the issue on my end! It turns out it was because of some Steam settings that let my controller move the mouse and press keys

Hopefully this will fix it for you:

open steam -> steam settings -> controller -> scroll to the bottom where it says "desktop layout" -> click "edit" -> click "disable steam input"

Thank you so much!

Thanks! :D

This was so helpful, Thank you! I was able to 100% the game without fixing this but when I went to close the game, I couldn't click "save and quit" but doing this let me use the a button in the pause menu.
