No Cherry Blossom Festival

[marble light]

Unsure if I did something wrong, I looked it up and everything, but today is the Cherry Blossom festival, I'm in the right spot at the right times, and I have the pamphlet, but there is no festival 🙁

[winter peak]

Hello @marble light! Could you let us know the platform you use to play (Steam PC/Deck, Xbox X/S, PS5)? 😮
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

[marble light]

Steam! Sorry I did not see the format thing until just now 😭

Pc

Steam PC

[winter peak]

No worries! Could you share your save file on the festival day so we can take a closer look? You can find it by copy-paste this filepath to the File Explorer: %localappdata%\ProjectCoral\Saved\SaveGames

[marble light]

I think these are it

Or maybe this one too

[winter peak]

Well received! May I ask if you have tried to restart the day to see if the issue persist?

[marble light]

Ooo I did log off on the day so I could experience it if it fixes, let me try that now!

[marble light]

@winter peak After restarting the day, everything seems be operational! I did notice that when it wasn't working, the town didn't have decorations but when it was it did.

[winter peak]

Thank you so much for replicating this and sharing the update with us!

Could you describe what in-game activities you were doing when the issue happened?
Do you recall any differences in your activities compared to when you tried it again, and the issue didn’t occur?

[marble light]

Hmmm I don't think so, I picked up an errand all the same and everything. I think the thing I didn't do was sort my chests in the morning like I did the first time, which it seems unlikely but maybe that was the issue? It could've been something I did on a previous day too because it fixed upon restart. I know I completed the essential resources bundle and did most of the starting quests, so maybe one of those is messing with it

[winter peak]

Did you picked up an errand in the Town’s board near Sam’s General Store before you go to the Festival?

Did you finish the Essencial bundle offering in Spring 9? Andd, did you create the save file on this version by any chance, Chillim?

[marble light]

Yes I did pick it up before the festival, I created the save file today on the latest version, and I believe it was spring 8 or 9 that I finished the bundle yes

I wanted to do it all fresh for the update hehe

[winter peak]

I can understand the excitement!
I’ll add these details to the notes. If you’re able to replicate the issue, please let us know — and if you happen to have a full video of your activities, that would be super helpful as well.

In the meantime, I’ll pass this along to the team and get back to you if we have any further questions. 🙌

[marble light]

Ah I do record with Medal but it only does my past 10 minutes at a time unfortunately 🙁
I wish yall luck! It's been really good so far, the world feels so dynamic, I love this game haha

[winter peak]

Ah, gotcha! No worries at all - if the issue pops up again during another Festival, we’d love to hear from you.

And thank you for the kind words! We’re so happy you’re enjoying Coral Island - it means a lot to the team. ✨

Cherry blossom festival did not happen to me too. I play on Steam pc. I did not try restarting day. Edit. I play singleplayer.

[sullen harness]

This happened to me to in multiplayer- host could try to start festival while I couldn't. Restarting fixed this. I also submitted an offering at the temple the first time, but not the second time, in case that's related!

[rain axle]

I've experienced the same today single player on steam deck. Didn't do anything different in the day. I did experience the big where, if you pick up something (not sure if it's too quickly?) edible and it ends up on a slot that's highlighted, it'll only prompt you to eat it and I can't switch tools or open the menu. Like when harvesting if a daisy ends up in my last empty slot I can't open menu or change equipped anymore. I kind of brute fix it when I can get a tool in that slot instead and use it, that unsticks

[static pecan]

I'm having a similar issue with it in multi-player. The event is available for the host. However it is not showing up for the rest of the party.

[winter peak]

Hello @marble light @wooden galleon @rain axle,
Just to help us investigate — could you confirm if the issue happens when you play straight through the previous day (for example, D-1 Cherry Blossom Spring 9) and then continue into the Festival Day (Spring 10) without reloading your save file?

Thank you so much for your help! 🙏

Hello @sullen harness and @static pecan,
We've received a similar issue on the Co-op mode here https://discord.com/channels/623097219628662784/1405694369817690172.
Could you add your details to that thread as well? Thank you so much!

[marble light]

It did yes

I played straight through day 1-10 I believe

[rain axle]

I did go from 7-10

Like in one sesion

[wooden galleon]

I played through multiple days in a row.

[winter peak]

Copy that! Thanks for confirming this, Chillim.

@rain axle @wooden galleon Thanks for confirming as well!
Do you happen to remember what activities you did the day before the Festival (Spring 9)?
Had you completed any offerings at the Lake Temple before that, or visited the Ocean?

[winter peak]

Hi Chillim, we've got some additional questions.
Do you still remember if you're diving on the Spring 9 or the day before the Festival?

Also, do you recall if you triggered any cutscenes in town that day, or gained any hearts with NPCs? 😮

[marble light]

I cannot recall sorry 🙁 I may have gone diving though

[wooden galleon]

I'm not certain, but diving is most likely. I did offerings on 8th.

[winter peak]

Thanks for confirming @marble light @wooden galleon! We've tried to reproduce this issue, but unfortunately, it didn't happen on our end.

If you happen to play again and the issue reappears, kindly let us know. If you play on Steam, you could also enable the Steam Recording feature to record your gameplay. You can see how to do it here: #1222877204233584722 message

In the meantime, we will also keep actively investigating the issue. Thank you so much!

[winter peak]
