I've got about 30 hours in on Xbox series s. Until yesterday I had only had 1 crash. Today I've have 8 separate crashes causing me to lose an entire days progress each time. All crash conditions were different. Sometimes a day will play through, sometimes it wont. It's entirely unpredictable. Every time it goes to a black loading screen I just have to hope it doesn't crash. I've enjoyed it so far but this along with clearly broken achievements (crafting items) and the museum crash, it's simply unplayable.

Unfortunately the console versions need lots of fixes currently. If you are able to play on PC game pass, you can continue your xbox save there and switch back to console when its fixed.
It's just really unstable. Unfortunate really because I was enjoying it.
I just don't find it very comfortable to sit at my PC for hours of gaming 😂😭 thanks for the suggestion though, it does seem like a lot of the same problems are happening on PC too.
I'll just uninstall and leave it till it's eventually fixed and swap to stardew or spirittea instead I think. Maybe pick it back up if I remember after it's fixed lol.
Yeah, really unfortunate with the current state, although thankfully havent had any major issues on PC so far. Hopefully the fixes will be applied quickly.
I'm here to report a random crash on the Xbox as well. My mom was playing on the xbox s (gamepass version). It was 6pm, on the beach. She was collecting shells and sand, when she got a notification saying her inventory was full. Then she opened the menu button to see if she could throw something in order to pick the object, and the game crashed.
happens to me too. i'm wondering if the PC version is better to play instead...😭
on PC you can back up your save files at least in case something like that happens
dang, that sucks😰
No, I can't. It all became corrupted @inner nymph
The first time it happened all save files became corrupted which made game crash on launching. The second time all saving files was there, but in game, is gone, as you never played the game
Steam cloud couldnt find the save
I just lost my save too, I have backup files but I don't understand how to get them to work
I'm so sick of replaying the same day and losing completed quests ..I refuse to play anymore. Dinkum was created by 1 (one) man ...I don't have ANY issues. Maybe these peeps need some help from a Master. Ijs. Xbox
Yeah my game crashes on Xbox every 45 mins of game play.
I have had the same problems today. Today is the first day that I have had this many random crashes. I could not even participate in the animal festival for it continuing to crash. I have had more success playing on the game pass pc version and steam but that defeats the purpose of having it on console if I have to constantly play on pc.
I just had a crash after Kira quest and was doing some late bug catching at the Inn, right on the swing, I froze. It was a UR crash report came up after the game shut down
Regular Xbox crashes
Hi @versed igloo. I'm sorry for any frustration you're experiencing. Our team is actively working on fixes from issues reported. Thank you so much for understanding 🙂
Can you tell us more about the crashes that you're facing? 🙂
Hi! Could you let us know how frequently you’ve encountered this crash? 🙂
Hi! 'm sorry for any frustration you're experiencing. May I ask are you playing on Steam PC? Can you try to load your backup save file to see if the issue resolves? 🙂
Hi! If you're playing on Steam PC and you have located your save file and backup save file inside the folder, you can try to replace your backup save file like this:
Open the "Backup" folder.
Copy the file named "SaveBackup_0_10.sav."
Paste it into the "SaveGames" folder and rename it from "SaveBackup_0_10.sav" to "DailySave_0.sav."
Hi! May I ask which platform that you're experiencing crash? Can you tell me more about the crash? 🙂
Hi! May I ask which platform you’re currently playing (Steam PC/Deck, Xbox PC/S/X, PlayStation 5)? Do you happen to have any screenshot of the UR crash report? 🙂
I mentioned in my post. They are irregular and unpredictable. The entire game is unstable and dashboards whenever it feels like it. It could be coming up from diving, jumping down a hole in the mines, talking to someone, entering the house, entering any of the stores. They are entirely random. Sometimes you'll do the same thing and its fine. Other times it crashes.
I'm not really sure because I play in short spans of time. But I would say every few days ingame. Maybe every hour or so of continued gameplay? I'm not 100% sure, tho.
@lapis sage I experienced the crashing and the freezing screen. I’m on Ps5. It happen randomly and the problem are more frequent. I stop playing because it’s too difficult to play and to keep my saving day. Also, the sound are incorrect or absent during mining, fishing, farming , etc. I hope your team will resolve this because the game seems so fun to play.
I had the same thing yesterday, playing on Xbox and can attest to how unpredictable the cashes are.
Sometimes entering a store or pulling up my inventory would cause a crash, and sometimes it would just crash while I was running around. The day before wasn't so bad, but I lost hours of progress yesterday due to all the crashes that always came when I was getting ready to wrap up the day.
The crashes are happening on Xbox series s (gamepass). For the animal festival, the first time I crashed as soon as I clicked I was ready to participate. The next time it let me into the festival and allowed me to talk to everyone. I even practiced the game with the cows and the one with the chickens. But when I went to actually play the chicken game it crashed. Here lately if I play more than one in game day there is a chance of it crashing; so I have been playing one in game day then closing and playing another game. I then later come back and get through another in game day.
How many hours in are you? I didn't really have any problems until I hit around 20 hours/the beginning of fall. Then it was frequent crashes.
I noticed if I pause the game for any reason for more than a min or two it will crash after that.
I'm early/mid Summer, just made it to the Animal Festival but I just had three crashes there and turned the game off in frustration since I didn't want to go through the same morning again. I've been playing on 50% speed, and finishing each day around 5pm so I'm not sure how many hours that equates to. Maybe I can check my save file tomorrow, but I'm just done with the game today.
Let's not forget to mention how the game stutters while you are walking around which is nerve wrecking because I am terrified that it is gonna crash from just walking around.
I can't blame you lol hopefully a fix comes quickly
Hello, i have a problem entering the museum after upgrading it. The game just crashes everytime i try to enter the museum. I tried on pc and it works fine there, just not on xbox series s. I heard that more people have the same problem. And my pc isnt good enough to run the game smooth. Also i have to restart the game after each day, because the second day the game crashes about halfway into the day.
Maybe add a save option to save when we want? So we won't lose a whole day of progress
happens to me too, i just came from the mine to donate to the museum and when i entered, it crashed...
for some reason when i enter the museum, it crashes. This happened on Autumn and this is on my xbox console
Personally I’ve been having crashing issues since around 10 hours and it’s progressively getting a bit worse up to now (30 hours)
I'm glad I have this game thru Game Pass, bc I'd be really upset if I would have paid money. I like this game but due to issues....not so much. I'm done with Coral Island. Not gonna waste my time.
Thats rhe same for me. I made it to mid summer and the crashes are more frequent. In the 6 hours I played yesterday (and ended up walking away from) I'm guessing I had about 8 crashes. Games fun, but man is it frustrating to get to 8pm, finally unlock the merkingdom..... then bam. Loading screen, then game over.
I get it, I kinda wish there was a auto save feature just so I wouldn’t have to redo all of a day when my game crashes, especially when there’s a late event that’ll be pushing my Xbox to the max
But I truly adore this game, even though it can be slightly frustrating at times
Same I’m thankful I didn’t pay for it and played via games pass. Gonna skip it for the moment and might revisit when the game is less broken.
waiting for Microsoft to release the update
Voice memo 34: The withdrawals have gotten excruciatingly worse. Every where I look I see trash. The world is filled with trash. We must do something about it.
Weirdly too relatable
I can't seem to do any of the merfolk kingdom stuff. Crash after crash entering areas. Its awful. Also on series s
I am only on like Spring Day 11 and have crashed several times on the Xbox Series S through Game Pass. This happened mainly when I tried to collect the 2nd gift from the Museum after donating 10 items. The minute I hit 10 items, the game crashes.
The museum scene keeps crashing. I know that it is a known issue, but this is insane! It should have been fixed. We can't progress until this is fixed. 😟
If you search in the crash reports for 'museum crash workaround' there is a solution for this. I tried it and worked although it is a pain but at least gets you past it. Still can't believe they released and update that doesn't fix the fact that game just randomly crashes still doing random stuff like opening your inventory or a chest, or leaving a building, or walking or standing still or breathing 🤣
My problem is I can't even watch the cutscene to skip it. It will crash while on the loading screen 😞
The game has great potential but if the constant crashes are not fixed on consoles this will result in flopped game and everyone's time spent on the game rendered useless.
Have pretty much given up with XB1 version, fed up with loosing all the days work to crash out, spend all day farming/mining/questing etc then gets to end of day and game crashes, this game has so much potenial and is fun, but I give up. Spent hours trying to do Spooky Festival, first waited all day went to festival start it crashed, did all day again Festival worked, tried to leave festival it crashes, third attempt did all day fine, festival started fine, left festival fine, went home to sleep, game crashed on save and all lost again, have now given up with the game, its unplayable 😦 which is a real shame.
They said they have a fix and will drop it on the next update. Why wait when they are losing so many players due to this? I kind of wish the devs would give us a timeframe. I really want to play the game, I love the design and everything!
I don’t think the devs know. It’s now with Xbox and up to them to implement.
I’ve been having the same problem!! I’ve went from playing this game everyday to not playing at all this week…. (that’s how bad the crashes are). I’ve played the same day ( summer 11) over six times now 
I played like 35 hours, and LOVE the game but i would preff to wait for the game to be published with good quality than play like this. Every two days (in the game) i have to repeat one. Its the first time in my life being in a discord for report bugs and crashes. That problems make me being hate the game... I will not play It more since they fix It. I dont know how wanted to publish a incomplete game but it was a BIG mistake.
All of the save crashes came from the last xbox update I am 3 year 19 days into summer and never once crashed at save until the update. The museum 10 donation was fixed but now crashes when you exit the museum after 128 donations had to use the "I'm stuck" to force save just to get past it. But I'm also done playing until there is a fix for the save crash I do NOT want to lose my save game.
Xbox s btw.
timeout…how did you not get ONE CRASH…im one evey 45 minutes or so 😂
RNJesus ? Lol never was an issue until the update
On save crash that is
I crashed from opening map n entering buildings but the dangerous crash is the save crash 50/50 chance of losing ur save game
Same here. After approximately playing for 2-3 days the game will crash sometime in the 3rd or 4th day. Sometimes the game crashes going into the crafting/inventory menu. Festivals after spring are all crashy ie crashes beginning festival, crashes during mini games, and crashes at the end of festivals.
Their publisher laid off a ton of employees and then the next day we got this broken catastrophe
Having the same issue! The update helped just a teeny bit and the museum is still broken.
I haven’t played it cuz I figured it’d still be bug ima wait.
Also on xbox. I've had the same black screen and booted to home screen every time I put more than one think in the museum and also sometimes when I press "see details" when finishing a task.
Is it fixed on Xbox yet?
Not yet, I just done turned off my console after repeating summer 12 for 7th times
Thanks I’ll wait till then. Cause once I start I won’t stop till 100% completion 😂
