Platform: Switch
Issue: Froze and had to restart game when trying to harvest vegetables. The harvest prompts were there and the game world was still moving around me but I couldn't get out of the harvest option and my character wouldn't pick any vegetables. This was less than three minutes after a crash when I opened my clothing inventory.

Platform: Nintendo Switch
Issue: Game crashes every time you go into the create clothing mechanic. This happened since the update with Scar. Please fix as soon as possible. I paid for the top-tier level of this game and so far I’ve been very disappointed. Basic gameplay is frustrating and difficult since the “early release” launch; especially because the game can crash at any moment, which brings a much anxiety to the play experience and I constantly have to save every 1-2 minutes to avoid progress loss. Auto save doesn’t catch a lot, especially with crashes.
The game used to crash every 15-45 minutes before the Scar update and now there are even more things that cause crashes. I can barely even play the game without constantly restarts and anxiety about what minute it will crash. This consistent crashing is the biggest glitch of the game, but there are still a lot of other glitches. Again, please fix this as soon as possible.
I know the game team (designers, coders, creatives, etc.) are probably very overworked and are stretched very, very thin, so I don’t blame them. They’re doing they’re job and following the direction of the higher ups in charge. However, whoever is in charge (makes the launch date decisions, has final approval, gives overall direction of the game, etc.) should have pushed the launch date wayyyyy back into 2023 or 2024 because this game very far from being ready for even and “early release.” Honestly, it feels like we all paid to beta test and I think the marketing greatly exaggerated how far along the game is. For example, Belle is on the marketing, very prominently, but isn’t in the game. The same with Scar pre-10/2022 update. The fact that it was early release was not large or super upfront either. It’s disappointing overall.
Platform: Xbox on PC
Issue: crashes every 4-5 minutes mid mining or harvesting anything, even herbs and flowers. The screen goes black and then has the frozen picture of the game, but has a spinning circle in the middle of the screen like it's trying to load. I have to ctrl alt delete and end the task as none of the buttons on my controller do anything at this point. Today I manually saved every 1-3 minutes just so I don't lose my progress when it inevitably crashes, but I wasn't doing this before and it was still crashing. This has been a problem only since the update, and it is every time I play now. I left it a few days to see if it would sort itself out, but no dice. These crashes make the game unplayable, and I was playing every single day before this. I'm so frustrated with the constant crashes that I'm just not going to play any more now until I see these problems have been sorted in this chat.
Platform: Switch, Issue: Ursula The Ritual Quest. I planted the enchanted flower and the game crashed. When I reopened the game, Ursula says watch and see what happens, but nothing happened. The flower is still a flower but I can no longer interact with it. This has stalled my game and I cannot move forward.
Switch
Game keeps deleting my plots (holes I dug for my crops) for my crops. After I harvest, I leave the area and come back, the plots are gone! Please fix so I don’t have to keep doing the work over and over and over again.
Platform: Xbox
Issue: since the latest Update with scar the game freezes and lags by harvesting.
- i still have a second vial of the freezing water which I don't get removed.
My character name isn’t what a picked and instead I’m now just called player name ☹️😭-Xbox
Xbox One crashes, played for an hour and a half.
-leaving scrooges, items reset and I had a new inventory available when I restarted and went back
-leaving scrooges again
-farming
-farming, second attempt
-leaving my house, furniture in plaza turned black and then it crashed
-leaving house again
-opening menu
-entering chez remy
-leaving chez remy upon logging in again
I think I’m done for today lol.
I also have this issue.
My game will not get off camera mode. I’ve restarted the game, my Xbox and even left it for the night and it still is stuck. It’s spawning me at dazzle beach every time too and not my house
I did erase some farming holes. Do I need to erase more?
Platform xbox
Issue: crashed 3 times trying to talk to him after putting his orb in the pillar.
Did you try what the person suggested about removing crops. It didn’t work for me with the amount I removed so I’m going to try and remove more soon.
😭 I feel like half the time is spent m restarting and loading.
Yeah I did I actually thought that was reasonable because I have over 1000 pumpkins 😬 I removed the pumpkins and the holes but nothing :/
Me too and I just removed my entire pumpkin patch and it worked. I’m shook rn bc I’ve been in limbo for days. Someone said there is a hidden limit we can’t see. Do you by chance still have a lot of pumpkins?
I do have a farms in each lands of their veg I’ll try that now!!
I am praying plus have all my fingers and toes crossed. Please let this work!! 🙏🏻 But just curious - why give us all those floors with all those rooms if there’s this restriction. Hopefully it will be lifted soon.
@sleek jay, thank you. Your message inspired me to delete even more crops than I already had done before and it worked. Just praying it works for Zen too. 💜🙏🏻
Platform: Xbox one
Game is almost unplayable after the update. Any loading screen (leaving menu, leaving buildings, quests) causes a crash, even simple tasks. My game in crashing every 5-10 minutes now since the update and had maybe 2 a day prior. Love this game and hopefully can play again soon
Plattform : xbox
The game crashes every 5 minutes... Almost not playable anymore.
Platform: Switch
I just downloaded the new update and the crashing is worse than ever before. Before I could play 4-5 hours and now 45 minutes and it crashes.
It does it does!! It took a while to go round and half all the farms of crops especially with the game kicking me out and having to hard save the game but it works!!
Xbox one. I'm sad. I really want to do the Halloween bits but the crashing is so bad I'm going to stop playing. It crashes every 5 to 10 minutes. I dread having to do anything in my house because I know I will have to save the game before I exit the house then load back in after the game inevitably kicks me out to the Xbox home screen each and every time I leave my house, then log back in and go about my business. It's exhausting and really unenforceable. Please please please fix the crashes as soon as possible so we can play it before we lose out on the decent Halloween content.
Right in the same boat, I wouldn’t mind it as much if load up didn’t take 5 minutes every crash
That’s awesome! Prayers answered!! 🙌🏻 I’ve now deleted every crop field but one. Keeping it simple until things stabilize. I’m glad we kept deleting crops because that was the fix. I thought I had deleted enough but apparently not. I’m so happy for you. 💜💜💜 Thanks again to @sleek jay once again, you’ve helped us both. We just hadn’t deleted enough crops. 🌱
Platform: PC - Steam Latest Update Build - Input PS5 controller
Issue: Softlock - loss of all controller function. Unable to quit the game through the normal menu. This issue occurred after clearing a night thorn in peaceful meadow right near the left path for the Dazzle Beach. This issue happened just straight after loading into the new patch and clearing other thorns. Weather is stormy.
Same!! I am so sick of having to repeatedly reorganize and stock my chests because the game craps out right in the middle of it😣
No problem. I also had to delete my entire farm. Which is just sad. 😢😢😢
I’m on Switch and every time I leave my house my game crashes. Could it be due to too much storage?? Or just bad luck
Quest: Do you wanna build a snowman?
Platform: Xbox1 s - Game pass
Game breaking error-
Cannot move ir take a picture, game crashed and I loaded it back into this mess. Tried moving the snow family already. Made it worse.
Guys stop messing with us seriously, releasing a ONE WEEK event when the game has been crashing nonstop for days. I feel like a clown.
My husband has an Xbox one and we actually timed it, he got 5 and a half minutes and his game crashes. He can’t complete anything. Whether he’s talking to a character, entering or exiting his house, or any building for that matter, using the menu, it doesn’t matter it crashes. He’s frustrated and we’ve tried power cycling the Xbox, Re downloading the software, no fix. Something needs done asap because he’s getting frustrated and I am for him too.
Switch So I haven’t got the water back in sunlight plateau but I’m able to fish in frosted hights and get credit for the star path quest that says to fish in sunlight plateau

Platform: Switch
Issue: Game crashes every time I try to open the customize section of my wardrobe. It's happened about 10 times last night and twice today. I can't customize any clothes or wear any clothes I've made.
My game does crash several times a day usually, from different things, but this is making it crash with a consistency that is brand new to me.
And me for you!!! Honestly I’m just glad I can now make my village aesthetically pleasing I guess I don’t need crops to make money now that they’ve gave me 10M 😅💚
Console: switch
Issue: game is crashing when attempting to use camera
Console: PC
Issue: Every now and then after fast traveling, game freezes on this screen. Unable to close Fast Travel window. Have to force close the game.
console: nintendo switch
issue: every "qol update" for nintendo switch makes the performance drastically worse. since today's update, i can't play for longer than 10 minutes without crashing. please actually address this, it's beyond frustrating that performance is getting worse.
Console: Xbox S
Issue: Random crashes. I've had 2 crashes. One yesterday and one just now. Both times wasn't doing anything, 1st time it crashes during a loading sceen/save. 2nd time when I tried opening my menu to put furniture down for a mission.
Switch
Cannot use the custom clothing editor at all - crashes either when opening, during editing, or when trying to save and close. Can’t use any of the new motifs 😭
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Issues: Ever since I updated the game, the game keeps crashing whenever I try to create a customized clothing item.
Xbox series X. I’ve crashed more times this weekend than I did previously since launch. My most recent crash was trying to open a blue mystery bag. Can’t remember if blue is clothing or furniture
Platform: Steam/PC
Issue: went into furniture mode, then exited out, all of the sudden, the star thing just keeps spinning- it won't stop spinning like its stuck in loading mode... D: I had JUST refreshed my game too after another froze issue 😅
Platform: switch.
My game has crashed four times this evening. Each time I have been trying to change my outfit.
For pc (steam) I’ve been having a lot of trouble recently with the game freezing my character into place. It happens pretty consistently with chatting or doing any daily chores.
(I just pulled up thorns that gave me a purple puzzle piece and then this happened haha)
The game continues on like nothing happened, but I can’t do anything 😅. I can’t pull up the menu either in this state.
So I have to force quit.
Platform: Xbox Series X. For the last couple days that I have gotten on, after a few minutes of play time, my game just freezes. You can still hear the sound effects in the background, but the gameplay is frozen. I’d like to play the game without it freezing every time I get on…
update: Don't know if it was simply luck or actually is a workaround, though if you're having the game crash while taking a photo, we were able to progress on Switch by making the camera capture the entirety of the screen, and do the widest view of the character. Hope this can help someone!
Platform: Switch
Issues: Repeated Crashes every 45-50 minutes
Previous Action: taking a photo with camera, cooking with Remy, entering the castle
Screenshot:
Platform: switch
Crashed twice in 4 hour period, then froze/crashed every time I opened the map
pc: loading screen just goes on forever when trying to go into my house, have to quit the game. also cannot buy anything from goofy, also remy stole my peanuts
^^^ It’s not just fast travel. It happens with I pick up memories or anything that pops up in a smaller window like this
Keeps happening very frequently to both my boyfriend and I
Platform: Switch ; Issue: crashes when taking a picture; unable to watch ursual in the ritual
Xbox one-can't get into game. Crashes at loading screen even if I restart the console.
Xbox one - Essentially attempting to participate in this event is pointless. I can design for days, but saving is impossible without crashing. I'm always left with a blank design.
Platform: Xbox Series X
Game freezes after about 5 to 20 minutes of gametime. I'll be talking to someone, mining, or changing my clothes and it'll freeze. I have to close down the game and re open it to continue but it'll freeze again 5-20min later.
Switch has crashed twice during my game play, when trying to build something nice for characters homes. Super annoying please fix and thank you! Otherwise it’s a fun game just minus the crashing.
Platform: Switch
Issue: After finding new Items (like rubins or fertile earth) its still greyed in my collection...
Xbox user, and I own the game.. crashes around 5 minute mark on xbox.. any fixes soon??
I could hope they fix them. It’s a buzz kill to the fun game
Platform: PS5
Issue: Game crashes in Frosted Heights, a pretty laggy area for me on my system.
Now my game crashes before its start up😭
Xbox...holy cannoli if this game crashes one more time...sweet Christmas get it together game!! I have crashed no less than 6 time in the last hour alone...I am very frustrated, I didn't crash before the update.
I've had the same issue for over a month and hoped the new update would fix it, but no joy 😔 hoping it gets resolved!
Yes I'm having the same issue! Is there any way to fix it?
Platform: Xbox One Series X
Issues: freezing/crashing/frame drops
It happens so often and I don’t think the game is optimized well (for Xbox; unsure of other platforms). There’s lag/drop in frames, all the time. It’s not even an indicator of when a crash will happen because the frame drops are so constant. I can get maybe 30min of gameplay between crashes.
While frame drops happen constantly in every area, they are most noticeably severe in the Forgotten Lands. Crashes are seemingly random in my case.
Hope this issue is resolved soon. 🤙
Platform: Xbox One — Issue: Crashing every 15-60 minutes. As others have reported, since the latest update it is happening while doing anything from harvesting, entering/exiting inventory (including Wardrobe and Furniture modes) and menus, fast traveling, moving buildings in Furniture mode, entering/exiting buildings, etc. Game will freeze for a few seconds before completely shutting down and sending me to my Xbox dashboard.
Platform: Xbox One
Like everyone else, I am crashing every 15-20 minutes. However, Touch of Magic is COMPLETELY inaccessible. I have tried to open it 5 separate times and every time has crashed the game.
Platform: Steam/PC
issue: furniture mode crashed while moving the house for Anna and Kristoff after trying to save in furniture mode.
I had just edited moving the house for Anna/Kristoff, when I finished, I pressed escape, then it was like my mouse froze, then the little star started to stutter, and my screen even blinked like it tried to reload, but physically couldn't. I don't have problems moving other houses, but this one I do. I used to have issues moving Remy's house, but it fixed itself for that... so I don't know what causes this, but it's strange.
Platform: Switch
issue: Crashes A LOT since new Scar update. 
Platform: Switch
Issue: Crashes when using items
Just bought this game for switch since everyone said it was amazing even bought the 69.99 founders pack… but sadly can’t even get thru the first quest. Any time I go to use an item from my backpack like to learn a recipe my character completely freezes. All the other characters still move around but I can’t do anything. Sad that you can’t even get past the first 10 minutes of the game after spending money on it
Platform: Switch
Issue: It begin to be really ANNOYING. The game crash all the time, I'm so tired of it I just stop playing after the first crash 😒
Get that… I just bought it today because everyone says how amazing it is… and I even bought the ultimate edition spending 70.00 and I can’t even get past first quest because the game freezes anytime I try to use and item and of course can’t call anyone for help
Platform: PC - Xbox
Issue: Whenever I give someone the meal they request at the restaurant I crash, Can't do anything and have to restart my game.
Screenshot:
Platform: PC
Issue: when fishing the game completely freezes I can't move or do anything after. Have to ctl alt delete out of game
Since the update it crashes more on the Switch.
I’m on the Switch and my game is crashing a lot more after the update. Especially after I come out of my house and want to save.
Nintendo Switch
Crashing still happening after update, last time was a few minutes ago while digging holes for planting.
Platform: ps4
Issue: i have played for so long, over 80 hours and my game crashed and deleted everything. I was almost done with the new quests and now everything is gone. My game crashed and then when i opened the game back up it said corrupted file and now my progress is completely gone.
Donald duck Dreamlight fountain mission is hard to complete without it crashing twice! Not able to celebrate!
On Xbox one
I'm having the same issues. 🙄
Wish me luck gonna try again , 3rd try should b the charm, for Donald mission - will update if crashes more
Donald duck Dreamlight fountain quest is really broken, crashed 3x ALREADY When trying to celebrate and take a photo game crashed, this needs to be fixed , super upset I can get further into the game
SO many crashes on Switch! I swear it's getting worse instead of better! I spend more time saving my game &/or restarting than I actually do playing!
No rhyme or reason for the crashes. They happen doing anything & everything.
Switch
Crash and error
Took and picture and game went into a fog except for character's eyes
in the last two days I've been having an issue where randomly the game will freeze only allowing me to move the camera but not access any menus or move the character, or do anything else. It fixes when I close the game and restart it but I figure maybe its a bug since its happened several times.
Agreed. Crashes seem to have only gotten worse on Switch. I crash at least twice during an average play session.
On Xbox series S. Getting crashes about every 15 minutes. Love the game but very unplayable. Please fix game loft 🙏🙏
Switch
Every 3 mins makes the game unplayable. You keep saying you fixed the crashing...and don't 😃 if the game isn't playable on the switch, just offer a refund and be done with it 😃
Platform: Xbox Series S
Issue: Crashes frequently when in crafting menu. Music continues to play but game freezes.
They don't provide refunds, you would have to talk to Nintendo for a refund
i have just gotten the same glitch twice in the span on 2 minutes now on xbox series x
Switch
Crashes: are now starting to seem worse than before the update. Have had three instances when I go into my house. I don’t recall if I had a follower but don’t believe so. Crashed taking a selfie with Scar. Have had not as many of the usual where I did too much to fast (ie picked up a crop then a memory then a menu or something and know I overwhelmed it) but still some. And just had an instance where I made root beer, went to save manually because I do that tons for these reasons, and that literally caused a crash
Switch tends to crash when opening the menu.
It lags significantly when opening storage, but doesn't usually crash.
It lags when entering or leaving buildings and sometimes crashes. (More often than storage. Not as often as when opening the menu.)
i cant move stuck between two things so i have to shut it down
Switch crashes and freezes all the time in different scenarios, but it freezes without fail when opening decorating mode and zoom out/in and move stuff over large areas. My guess is memory management issues.
I have been experiencing crashes the past 2 days on my pc. Happened 3 times this morning and 2 times yesterday. This is the first time it’s really been an issue on the pc
Platform: Switch
Issues: Every time I try to take a photo (whether it be for a quest or on my own) the game crashes.
Platform: Switch
Issue: when in decorating mode, every time I try to save and exit it freezes
Please remember the game is still in it's early release stage, dearest
There is going to be a looooot of kinks to work out along the way. Developers are doing a phenomenal job keeping up as best they can.
Platform: XboxOne
Issues: Game crashes while doing.... well... just about anything 😅 I get about 30- 45 minutes worth of play time before getting yeeted back to the home menu. I've noticed this happens more frequently when you have a companion doing activities with you [esp Scar!], but it could happen on a whim as well. I'll provide video next time I catch it.
Screenshot/Video: upcoming
Thanks to everyone working their booties off to make this game enjoyable, you are appreciated!
Switch is still crashing randomly several times a day
Good god, can I please go longer than 10 minutes with out this game crashing. That would be awesome
No doubt! I feel ya on that, I'm saving every second I can lol
I couldn't even start the game today. I get a message saying that the app cannot be opened and to check microsoft store. I did that and got a button saying "re-install" next to the original play button. But I, wel actually my brother, could not re-install the game. I have no idea why this happened. I had absolutely no problems playing the game yesterday. Can anybody please help me?
Platform: Switch
Issue: game crashed right as I was taking the photo for the celebration in the "Dreamlight Fountain" quest. Now when I try to do the celebration nothing happens. No one is gathering, even when I talk to Donald. The fountain and the ribbon are both out. Fix it!

I have an Xbox and my game is constantly crashing. I'm getting into a habit of saving every few seconds.
PS5: Frequently freezes when cooking, usually right after selecting autofill, but sometimes when exiting the recipe menu or exiting cooking. The UI elements will disappear and the game does not respond to any input until reset. No clear pattern in recipes, ingredient availability, etc. It's possible that it happens if I'm clicking through the menus faster, but it's hard to tell for sure.
Platform: switch
Issues: crashes almost every time I try to take a photo

Memories, orbs, going in and out of buildings or even rooms. Planting and watering. Almost anything now makes it crash. So you can’t even anticipate and quickly save🙃
hot-fix update announced, and Switch not even mentioned (just xbox). Why is switch so under-prioritized? It must be the most broken game experience by far

issue: game still crashing every 15 minutes on average, regardless of what i'm doing. harvest crops, crash, pull up a menu, crash, open a chest, crash, stand completely still, crash. what's worse: entering buildings is not actually autosaving as it says it does. i'm entering buildings (seeing the autosave icon) progressing in the game, exiting the building (seeing the autosave icon) and then crashing, and my progress is reset to before seeing both of those autosave icons.
i see xbox is getting a performance hotfix, are we going to get one for switch? can we at least get acknowledgment that the game isn't working as intended on switch?

Xbox Game Pass PC: 1/4 of the time when I open a memory, there's a high chance that the memory image will stay on the screen while the rest of the game is going on resulting me in force quiting the game.

Nintendo Switch. Since the update the game crashes anytime I try to customize clothes.
Platform: Switch
Issue: I just had a major glitch at Scrooge's store. I went to buy things, and the first two items I tried to buy (a white stag that hangs on the wall, and a silver and blue inlay flooring pattern) said that there was a transaction error? I was able to buy everything else in the store with no problem.
However, while I was still in the store, I tried to put on some clothes I bought. It would show me in the new clothes as I built an outfit, but then put me back into the same outfit that I was wearing previously when I backed out of the menu. It did it several times before I gave up trying to change clothes. I thought that was odd, so I saved the game and then restarted it.
When the game restarted, I went back to the shop and everything was bought out, except there was a new bed on the second floor that wasn't there before. There was a red, long kitchen island there before I restarted the game, which I did purchase before the restart. I figured that was weird, because I've never seen new items in the store after I've bought it out for the day.
Then I went into my menu to find the items I'd bought before and realized that everything new I bought today wasn't in my inventory (that included some icy purple earrings, a light gray vest, orange cat ears, and various other items). The things I ordered from Scrooge before I reset my game were in my inventory, however.
I'm so confused. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to fix it so I get my items back? The gold I spent on them is still gone but my items aren't in my inventory.

Issue: taking a photo crashes the game
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Issue: "Transaction Error" after everything I do. Harvesting, watering, digging, buying, selling, collecting. Everything is a "transaction error" I'm still receiving everything as far as I know, but it get really annoying. It even shows across my screen when the game is first loading in
Platform: PS5
I'm honestly not sure of the issue. I will be playing and not only will the game stop but it will turn off the entire system. It's only ever happening with this specific game. Is that a crash or some strange bug?
New to discord, forgive me if I sound pretty ignorant.

Issues: Crashes about every hour
I doesn’t matter what I do. I left Ursula’s house it crashed. I was doing a mission for Minnie and it crashed. I don’t think it’s due to what I’m doing. Just how long I’ve been in the game.
Before the last update, it would last for 4/5 hours before crashing, so it has gotten worse

ISSUE RESOLVED using file validation from steam platform.
Issue: Game crashes about a quarter of the way through the opening loading screen. This has been consistently happening since the Oct. 19th update. Sometimes restarting my computer seems to help but it doesn't always. I have a relatively high powered computer so specs shouldn't be an issue and all my drivers are up-to-date.

Wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take so long to load the game, and if the game loaded back where you were when the game last saved and with the follower you had. Took me about an hour to keep going to find Anna to ask become a follower 😔
Switch we really need to fix the crashes when decorating or harvesting and planting I have crashed like 8 times today
Xbox one: It crashes almost every time I try going into my house, I save each time I get to the front door and pray that it doesn't crash. And it crashes when I move too fast. Just come out my house and started heading out in the direction of the character I wanted, and the whole thing froze. This all happened within 10 mins of the first crash... But have had it crash at least 3 more times in the time I've been playing tonight.
I have experienced what everyone in this forum has said... its almost like im playing this game with commercials due to crashings happening every 15 minutes with 5 minute reloading times 😫
It was good for a few days…I would save and cloud save every few minutes and it only froze maybe twice this week. Now, I can’t get minute or two in the game without it crashes. On Xbox game pass it happens for anything. Talking, giving gifts, going into inventory, chests. I don’t think I’ve crashed while running, but I did while mining.
Exact same thing for me Gizzy... i love this game... sad its happening
I jinxed myself. I froze running. 🤣
Idk if this may help but i may try it... i had all areas unlocked in this game before my sister showed me i could make storage chests. Once i became a hoarder of all items totalling around 15 to 20 storage chests with easily 50 to 100 items EACH, is when i started experiencing crashing. Hard to tell due to the update came out around the same time... my sister does not hoard items and does not experience crashes via the switch. I play on xbox one. Im thinking of selling my ingenious idea of hoarding items, which hurts my heart to do so, but to see if it actually fixes the crashes... Anyone else have multiple storage chests stored?
Game crashes everytime I try to enter scrooge's shop on PC after hanging on the loading screen 100% of the time, I haven't been able to enter his shop since the update, everything else loads and works just fine

I have the same problem. I cannot find any paw prints or any item. I moved the restaurant to a different location than where it has been at the start; might that be connected to it?
I moved it too as i decorated my plaza to be a shopping district. 😦
Okay, I found the item now - it's where the restaurant was at the start. So this is definitely a thing that must be fixed! Look to to right of the well (looking at the castle!)
Do you think it will work if i have to move lots of stuff that would be covering it?
Private messaging you for this because of the slow mode. xD <3
plateform: pc - game just keeps freezing whenever i try to do anything
Platform: switch - has crashed 3 times in the past hour always when I try to go to the start menu
Xbox did not crash till I added switch. Then loaded cloud save then any view of inventory or crafting crashed the game. Restarted Xbox, and game many time. Unplayable right now. Haven't gotten from my house to scrouges without a crash.
Got a BSOD in the middle of the game (driver_irql_not_less_or_equal), saying there's something off with my kbdclass.sys, which seems to suggest there's something wrong with my keyboard drivers. Hasn't happened until now, and not since, so this might be a one-time only thing.
I have noticed that the game crashes more when there are more villagers in the valley. I didn't have crashing issues until unlocking most areas and added the last few characters. Also, it may be less when characters several characters are sleeping (could be observation bias there though). I using PC version. My only other location is leaving or entering Ursula's house I often have a crash.

This afternoons crashes. This fix cannot come soon enough, in all my years of gaming I have never experienced a game with this many crashes 😭😭 I understand we have paid for the privilege to test this game and iron out the issues, but that's also the point. We have paid for this game, it should at least be playable 💔💔💔

5 - 7 - leaving the house x3
8 - 12 - moving furniture x5
13 - saving the game

14 crashes in 2 hours is unacceptable, with the amount of time it takes to load I have probably managed less than 30 minutes game time. If it wasn't for the Halloween event I would have stopped playing entirely.

Issue: I’m not sure if this is the right forum for this but when I enter Chez Remy no orders appear. I am personally max level and a few villagers are as well so I assumed it was for that reason but now with Scar here he is not max level yet and he doesn’t have any order showing either. When I speak to the character there is no prompt to give the order either.

hi I have two problems I think I am in the right one to see if it is.I haven't seen it in the known bugs so
I noticed when I go to give a requested item to the one who requests it it like bugs where I am stuck on the confirmation screen and in the background the character receives the item and goes on to the next part of the quest and I am stuck in the conformation screen
I usually exit the game and then re load the game and then re hand the item to the character also I think the one memory with wallie where the memory photo pops up when you mine well it frozen on that too and had to exit and go back in and then run over and re pick up the memory and also just thought about the fence problem too I go to the fence section of the crafting station and then I change my mind and want to go to one of the others and well I can't I have to exit out of the whole crafting station to be able to go and look or craft something on one of the other parts of the crafting station
I’m kinda sad about this, does it mean we’ll miss out on the Halloween quests? 🥲 the game hasn’t worked for me all day 😭
Probably. Ive put in a support ticket but im not too hopeful. Im glad I saw that it was happening on other platforms as I was about to buy it on steam to try and fix it LOL
The switch is still crashing!!!! This is so annoying especially when you are in the middle of a quest or anything and it shuts off without saving. Hopefully they fix this issue asap
Haha same here! Would have died if I had done that only to find out it isn’t working 😅
(Steam) PC: loading bar suddenly taking forever and I can’t get into the game? Seems like this is a recent problem with how this thread is going.
On Steam and dealing with the exact same issue! Wanted to submit a ticket but it needs a player ID. Not sure if that string of numbers on the bottom left is the player ID
Thankfully I took a photo of my player Id weeks ago on my phone, so I’ll definitely let them know through the ticket
same here 😦
@feral pine and @opal fossil
I sent in a support ticket, and mentioned various users on the discord server are having this problem too. Idk when they’ll get back to me but I tried. 🤷♀️😂

And the most annoying thing. When you send a complaint, it will take more then 2 MONTHS to react. A shame...
And error, founders packs. (But you already know this)
I mean 2 Months ago i bought the game, €20 extra for a extra stuff, including moonstones for the events.
Still no founderspacks (not even after the 2 updates) and because of that missing al premium event stuff, for the Second time! NOT happy about that.
Really hoping that the people who bought the Ultimate version, will be compensated for all the things they missed but officially payed for.
Same here unfortunately.

Also stuck on loading screen. It hasn't worked since it was updated.
The hotfix and the servers being down are completely unrelated events. The hotfix has been planned since last week. The servers have been having issues all weekend.

In the past days I've encountered 3 crashes that happened right after taking a picture. It just happened to me again in the current game version as well, after the hotfix.

Ever since i updated my game it won't load! Super frustrating and I wish I hadn't downloaded it.
BEWARE BEFORE YOU UPDATE. IT MAY BREAK YOUR GAME.
It hasn’t been able to load since yesterday for me and that was before the update. I think that part is a server issue. Not any less frustrating though
this is incorrect. The servers have been having issues all weekend, and a lot of people are just now loading in after the hotfix to discover they were affected. Please follow #📢game-news for updates.
It was working fine last night for me, I play daily. But hopefully it is just a server issue.
I'm just really sad because it's definitely my new comfort game and don't want others to experience this if it's avoidable. 😞
Still not working for moana quest... since I'm already on the island with her, it's just crash the game every time.. someone have a solution? Thx
System : switch
Issue : infinite loading screen. Left it on for hours. From 11-2 and still not budging. Tried updates, shutdown and on, close and reload game. Update seems to have screwed me 😦 ruining my Halloween that’s for sure was going to use all my Spoopy items today
The hotfix and the server are two different things. The server issue has been going on all weekend and just getting worse. GL is aware of is and working on a fix. follow #📢game-news for updates
Platform: Switch
Issue: if I do not close the game but instead put the device to sleep. Uponf reopening, and after 10 plus minutes of game play, it will randomly crash.
If I however close the game down. It will load up, and allow me to play until the battery dies.
Platform: PC Also experiencing the loading issue
Please follow #📢game-news for updates
Platform: PC
Issues: Can't get passed loading screen anymore since update. Not sure where to report this.
Screenshot:
I do not believe this is a server issue, as I have the same issue in offline mode
Platform: switch quest: what home feels like problem: Has the problem with the glittering hearing been fixed for Elsa’s quest? Because i haven’t been able to catch one to make Elsa her pie she wants and I’ve fished literally tones of storms in glade of trust. So I can’t turn it in or get around it because Elsa is still requesting it because I thought the patch fixed this? But idk 🤷♀️
it has to do with where your game is saved, not whether you are online or offline. The game cannot retrieve your save if it is on one of the affected server shards
It is a hotfix update, not a server/loading update. The devs are still investigating the loading issues at the moment.
It's just weird because I logged on every day and then my game updated today then boom, now I can no longer get past loading lol. 🤷🏻♀️
System: Xbox
When trying to sell items can be 1 or any number more I get an error of "not enough items"
Additionally, when trying to give order at Chez Remy I cannot complete giving the food to the characters.
Wasn’t just after the update I haven’t gotten into the game since Saturday
I'm having the same issue only I'm on a switch.

Issue: Went to sit down on this couch and my character just kinda...stopped. Couldn't press any buttons after the sit down interaction, could still move the camera and idle animations still going on. Had to just Alt-Tab and close the game.
Not technically a crash, but still a problem.

Hallo @ all, I play on PC: Since Today i enjoy an eternal loading screen 😭 I wanted to ask Support, but i didn't find any way to post a Ticket or something. Have Screenshots. Please help
Switch: oh no I’m stuck on the loading page for over half hour and it’s not moving, I can only play in the evening as I work all day and was looking forward to the Halloween activities. 😭
Platform PC: Game freezes after picking up any memories.
you're not understanding what i'm saying. the hotfix and the bullet point of xbox performance contained within the hotfix are two different things.
We all got hot fixes. But XBox is the only console that got a performance and stability fix.
I have a xbox 0ne and been trying all day and can't get past the loading screen ugh
Epic PC Not loading pass this point
im just gonna tell u now, no reason to let it load not working until the devs fixes
Platform: Steam

Platform: Xbox
Issue: cant buy and sell at Goofies store at Peaceful Meadow. He does not appear and my character keeps walking.
On Switch. Since the update my game crashes at least 4 times per hour(or more), crashes when attempting to save and/or leave or exit buildings, also I cannot access Moanas boat for fish. Have tried several days and it won't let me have any fish. She doesn't even come to the boat.

Platform: PC
Issue: This happened to me twice last night. When I was doing my daily task (farming and removing night thorns) every time I picked up a memory orb piece my game just crashes and I had to restart the game.
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Issue: Just updated with the hotfix and it seems like the software errors are even more frequent. The screen also freezes every time I fast travel. My character will teleport to the new biome but the fast travel menu stays on screen and it won't let me exit.
Platform:PS4
Issue: I can't find where to put this, so I'm putting it here. Just downloaded the new update and the camera keeps continuously moving round my character in circles, even if I try to move the camera back in feels like its pushing against me to keep moving where it whats to. I can't play at all because I already suffer from dizziness and this made me extremely dizzy. My controller is fine in other games so its not that and it has only started since I updated. Please fix
Platform: PC
Issue: I can't seem to load up my game at all. I click continue and then it stays on the loading screen for a long time. I've tried restarting the game and my PC as well.
platform: steam
issue: the loading does not end. before the update, and the first time logging in like 6 hours ago was normal pretty fast ... now i already wait for 5 minutes and nothing happens.

Platform: PC/Steam I’ve been having this issue since updating the game. It gets stuck on this load screen and will stay that way for hours. I revalidated my game files on Saturday and that seemed to work initially but when I tried to load the game today I’m having the same problem.
Switch has crashed twice and frozen in play/motion/stuck 3 times. I corrected by restarting the game for the freezes. The crashes both happened when I restarted the game from a black screen.

Platform: Nintendo Switch
Issue. : Stuck on loading screen
Others have reported being stuck on the Loading Screen on PC and Switch. This also applies to PS5. Wasn't able to get on yesterday either.
First time playing since update yesterday: been stuck on loading screen for over 10 minutes. Never happened before update. PS5.
Im having the same problem on my pc, loading it on steam, havent been able to get on yesterday or this morning D:
Don't understand if they updated yesterday why it's not going 😑
same issue for me i guess the game need another hot fix asap as right now i can't play it at all
The update was not for the loading issue, but it was a planned update for issues detailed in the changelog. The issue you encounter is a top priority case for the developers and certainly doesn't need an update because it's a server side issue apparently. Just be patient and check regularly the #📢game-news to be informed!
Platform: Xbox & Nintendo
Issue: Morning everyone! Anyone else having issues with mines rebuilding??? I've about had it with this game. 3 days now my characters favorites have been the same, even showing my checkmark that I've given it to them. I never got to participate in the Halloween event, my pumpkins have been growing for 3 days, my bananas & coconuts won't reload on my trees, fish won't reload on moanas boat, my store still has the exact same stuff for THREE DAYS. I'm so frustrated. I played this game for weeks on xbox, when stuff started glitching out I thought maybe it was the system, so I BOUGHT it on Nintendo and it's all still happening. I'm mad now that I've spent money that I didn't need to spend. How the heck does this get fixed because I'm so frustrated 🤯😭
I’m also stuck on the loading screen on Switch (15+ minutes) and can’t get in. This problem has been happening since yesterday for me.
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Issue: I finished "The Ceremony" quest with Moana. Of course when it forced me to take a pic the game crashed. Now I'm stuck at that very last part and can't do anything to finish it. All Leader shards are placed but the ceremony won't trigger again. I tried talking Moana, but she prompts me to collect the materials again. The quest tells me to Celebrate my leadership with Moana. I tried restarting my game and my Switch...
It took about 30secs longer than the usual load time
Still not fixed. Maybe anyone an idea on what I can do?
Mine isn’t working either.. guess we have to wait even longer than 2 days 🙄
Its 3 days for some. Strangely some twitch streamer manage to get in
@dawn aurora @fading stone @paper walrus
ATN Game Loading issues are still ongoing follow #📢game-news for updates, the hotfix yesterday was NOT for loading issues but a planned hotfix for other issues!!!
Dont just stay on loading screen, close game and wait for an update as it will never load in.

I can't log in I missed yesterday's event
My issue is not the loading problem. Mine is that I cant finish Donalds last quest with the fountain celebration and I want to know when that will be fixed
then that should maybe go over to the #dreamlight-help because we have workarounds for that quest and might be able to help. 🙂
PC , i cannot play, the loading is still on going
You guys seriously need to take a chill pill... this team is working their 🍑 off to work on these issues and get them fixed.
Close the game. Play something else or better yet, go touch some grass 😬
3 days we are already very patience... have u seen other company such as being ea being trend n reported n bombard with hate on Twitter when their servers is down too long
@fading stone We understand your frustrations but please do not take it out on those trying to assist and pass on information, loading issues are currently Gamelofts top priority on being fixed so please be patient.
Nintendo Switch
When opening the camera if you try to take a regular photo game freezes and then crashes. If you widen the view of the camera to include the whole screen it does not seem to crash, only when you use the older smaller portrait style.
Still crashing sometimes on nintendo switch
XBox Series X seems to be crashing constantly since adding a companion. Anyone else? Would be easier to take a chill pill if we weren’t paying for this. May have been premature to charge for this. I don’t think the cloud save to use on another systems is working at all. Have to manually save every two minutes.
Thank you for working on the many issues, especially the loading ones. 🤞
Platform: Xbox
Issue: Okay. This is by far the funniest bug I’ve gotten so far.
I was taking a picture to commemorate my leadership. And uh… I changed the angle of the photo by mistake. Moana wasn’t fully in the picture so I tried to change the border of the image. Instead I turned the camera angle and now I am stuck underground.
I’m going to run around and see what I can do….
Platform: Switch
Issue: Stuck on loading screen. Game opened this morning but stopped working after I downloaded the update.
They are actively working on a fix for the loading screen, and you can read more on the game news tab!
It is a server issue. Very little people weren’t affected but the majority were during the weekend.
Switch crashed three times already in a hour
Platform PC, twitch, steam deck : since the new update 4 crashes today! Wasn't like that before.
Platform: PS5
Game is stuck on loading screen after latest update and won't progress in any way.
Please check #📢game-news for updates as they literally just posted one about the server issue that has been happening for 4 days. 🙂
Putting this here too, game still crashing when I try to invite Moana to the island. Needs a line of code to bypass check for fish, or check location then skip. Or we need a 'reset invite quest' option.
Really don't want to start all over again. I spent so much time decorating....

They have not given exact time, just today
I got the same issue... 😞
Platform: Nintendo switch Problem: need glittering hearing issue: can’t make the pie for Elsa’s what home feels like. I’ve fished and fished during storms. This is making me have a progress issue to wear now I can’t get the ability to break the largest ice. One friend suggested I start the game over but I don’t have the energy. I sent a help ticket but no one has responded. I’m home sick with Covid (I’m vaccinated) so it be nice to complete Elsa’s quest. Any suggestions of a fix that might work or maybe Disney helping with another Elsa patch? Idk 🤷♀️ 😢
Xbox series S still crashing, graphics loading errors, lag, requests for companion follow missing from some characters. Must skip intro video or locks up replaying the introduction video over and over. X.x
Hey, sorry - I have a question. You also don't have "ESC" written in the top right for the menu. How do you access it? Because it's missing in my game and I can't play anymore
Platform: PC / Game Pass
Issue: I still can't play the game because I can't access any menu. ESC is still missing. I have this bug for over a month now and I'm really sad that I can't play. New installation didn't help.
Nintendo switch crashes when I try to use the clothing creator.
I am on PC. I did some outside decorating but when I tried to exit the edit mode it got stuck. This is a still, but that star is spinning, the screen flashes every couple seconds, and I can't do anything. Will close game and restart but tis annoying that now it won't save the work I did. I don't know which item bugged it so I will have to change a little bit at a time and hope for the best as I redo the work.
Platform: Switch The game will not open. Let’s me@press continue and then stays on the loading screen with scar on it. I left it for 2 hours last night trying to load it. Updated the switch and still no luck. Cannot play the game
Everytime I enter Scrooge' shop I crash and this error appear for a second, it occurs 100% of the time. I haven't been able to progress some quests because of this since I have no way of pulling Scrooge out of his shop
Platform: Switch; Fast travel window remains on screen after reaching destination and no buttons will close it. Forced to do a complete game shutdown
Now that I think about it, when I go to watch YouTube or w/e and go back it seems to crash. Not straight after but eventually. Hmm ig that’s the reason. And I’m on PS4
TYSM I can finally play the game after this update. 😭 🤍
Switch. Sometimes when speaking to scar, there is an audible response but no UI comes up (speech bubble etc). It’s just my character and scar staring lovingly at each other. I’m able to move the camera around and that’s it. No buttons prompt anything (menu, etc). To fix this I have to restart the game.
Platform: Switch
Issue: On quests requiring a picture, the camera shutter clicks, but the screen remains like this. Unable to exit. A forced close of the game is required, or the game crashes. As the game crashed as I was trying to exit, it saved after I put the snow family on the ground. Now I’m stuck on the quest saying “Attend the party with the Snow Family,” but no way to continue. Moving the item doesn’t help, nor changing the followed quest marked on screen
Still stuck on loading screen haven’t been able play In 2 days
My switch loading screen has been sitting at about 95% loaded for 2 days now trying to get into the game since the update.
My wife’s profile loads fine but mine just sits.
Fix the wardrobe customization! Getting sick and tired of NOT being able to back out of the menu and have to restart the entire game every single time!
Platform: Switch
Game just did a full crash and restarted. At least it wasn't a eternal freeze and a forced shut down.
I had just finished purchasing from Goofies stand and the game froze as the camera was readjusting.
Platform: Switch Game crashed while trying to put on clothes that we can decorate.
Select button on switch not working properly on switch

The game keeps crashing mid conversation with Moana. I can’t advance in the game without her, so I’m stuck. I have reported the issue. Everything else is up to date. I really really want Moana🙈
Platform: PC
Issue: Unable to exit out of menu when attempted to teleport to a well. Currently using controller on PC.
Same issue here 😦 really want her and maui

Literally this latest update made it so my switch cannot connect to the internet anymore!
Note: I have FOUR switches in my house, so it is not anything to deal with the switch itself!
Platform: PC (Gamepass)
Unable to download update at all. It errors out repeatedly.
Not quite sure how to report but I'm hoping this is right.
Platform: nintnedo switch
Issues: Ecerytime I go into the furniture mode to decorate outside my home it crashes which is very frustrating. I've completed all my quests so since all u have left to do is decorate and farm this is super annoying. I understand the game is still a work in progress but It literally only crashes when I'm decorating🙈
Possibly premature post to share that I am excited to have been able to actually log back into my game on Switch this AM.
Fingers crossed for successful play today.

Hey everyone, been having issues on the PC (Xbox App) over the past month or so where my screen will go black, then video will come back but the game will be frozen. Audio continues, but then I have to force quit the game as windows will start reporting that it's not responding. I believe it's GPU or driver related as I downloaded the latest Nvidia driver last night and this got substantially worse. When I rolled the driver back, it got better
Game freezes while picking up memories!
It's a bit frustrating as I feel like I need to go into the settings and save my game every 5 minutes, otherwise I might lose any items I've been collecting
Platform: Switch
error: Keeps crashing all the time keeps chucking me off the game and freezing staying in place!
fix it please!!!!!
been happening to me currently
crashing and freezing
im currently stuck like this
Oof. Heck I was paused in the menu's because my wife was asking me something and I had the screen flicker then freeze even at that point
Platform: Xbox
Issue: I cannot move. I’m stuck. All from removing a Night Thorn from this area in the Forest of Valor. Moving my joystick doesn’t do anything. I cant even Open up the menu????
ouch
i really regret buying the game tbh wish i never did
Platform: PC - Steam
My game crashed/froze just now. Im in conversation with Eric. I cant continue the conversation or click on anything. The only thing I can do now is close the game.
That sounds similar to the issue I've been having for the past month, but it's on PC and after the GPU/driver seems to have an issue with the game. I can't recover from it and have to force quit it and re-start
It’s early access. Which is beta. Which also means this is what the game is and what you’ll get until full release sadly. My friend begged me to save my money until I saw it was free on Xbox Game Pass. It’s like… the game is a baby right now but it’ll get better dont worry.
Yup, agreed, just freezes and crashes definitely temper down my excitement for the game. I picked it up through GamePass as well so at least I didn't put out money for it yet
Switch crashed have had 3so far can we fix these especially when decorating and gardening
switch; opened a chest and coin is stuck in area I can't reach, tried to move stuff around but no luck
when is it actually meant to be released
I don’t think there’s been an actual date for that. But I could probably say… a few good years or months at most.
i know its free next year
PC Steam. Since the last update (intended to fix infinite loading screens), sometimes launching the game presents this error right after appearing to successfully load the save file and showing my character in front of her house. So far, just launching the game again has worked. Steam file verification shows no errors.
PS4…Getting roughly one crash every 5 hours of game play. Twice, these crashes have corrupted the save file which means I’ve had to start over completely from scratch since my game won’t connect to cloud save, and hasn’t in well over a month.
Ps4: “cannot load game due to corrupted save file.”
☹️
PS4: frequency of the well-known crashes seems to have increased since latest update. It’s so frequent today that I’m losing my patience with the game
PC: Keeps crashing upon startup. Will load the opening logos, and the second the load bar starts, it'll freeze/not respond and then I have to force quit it.
I can actually play without it crashing every 15-20 minutes since the hot fix. Thank you. Xbox one

Error: see pic
Posted here and in graphics as wasn't sure. But this is a regular occurance. This time during taking a photo.
So Disney hasn’t responded to my help ticket. Has anyone had them respond to a help ticket? Like what am I to do? I have no second glittering hearing to complete Elsa’s quest and I thought they fixed this problem? I’ve fished so many fricking ponds during lightning storms I’m starting to feel over it. But literally I can’t do other quest because I need this completed so it’s creating an issue with progress. I think Disney doesn’t care but idk. 🤷♀️
Thank you for sharing this.
Also does this mean “Elsa can’t let it go!” I’m sorry I know horrible joke. haha

This is what I get when my screen goes black and then comes back frozen. Once it's like this I can't do anything. It seems completely random when it occurs. Tonight I was going through the collections tab and it did this. At this point I have to close the program as it'll remain frozen
Platform: PC (Steam)
Unable to login. I am getting game initialization error (#5) I cannot login I have tried all recommended ideas from various reddits posts. Some are giving up and completely restarting but to only run into the issue once again. I am really eager to have this fixed as I really want to complete the current event rewards.

Game froze up twice today during 1 hour of play after last update. Used to crash. This is new. All buttons on Controller useless except main Xbox logo button when screen freezes. Both times I was just walking in the meadow.
Sounds similar to what I'm seeing on the PC launching through the Xbox app
I think I am in the right one to ask this I keep having this issue where I open memories and after I open them and see what it is I can't exit out with the B button like I am stuck on that screen I also semi fix it by exiting the game and then going back in after completely exciting the game and then going back on and then going back to the memory let's me through but after every memory I get stuck and can't exit it's annoying me
I am playing it on Xbox.Is there yet a gonna be fix to it?

Issues: I bought the game yesterday and played for 4 hours with no problems. Today the game freezes on startup. The opening logos play, the loading bar progresses and then disappears while the star in the lower right corner freezes. The whole game stops responding and has to be force quit. Verifing the integrity of game files and a reinstall have not helped.
Customizing clothes causes the game to glitch. I am unable to back out, and have to force quit. Xbox one

Game crashes constantly, today I’ve been playing for about 15 minutes and it’s crashing
I didn’t have issues up until the last week, comes up with a message ‘ddv is not responding’
Oh I did have floating grass yesterday which is more fun
Update: just crashed again whilst mining
I've had this issue as well. Happens completely randomly. I was sitting idle in the pause menu talking to my wife and it happened
Platform: switch
Issue: Game crashed after trying to enter Scrooge's shop.
If you don't mind me asking, what graphics card are you running? I have a theory that this issue is either GPU or driver related
It’s a GeForce 3070, I don’t have this problem with other games though, obviously I get that we are in early access still but it’s annoying! 😂
Interesting, I have a 3070ti...maybe it's a hardware compatibility issue. That said, I tried updating to Nvidia's 526.47 driver (the one that's been really bad for MW2) and it caused the game to crash even more often for me. Rolling back the driver helped a little, but I still had crashes. I manually updated to 526.61 that has fixes for the MW2 crashes that 526.47 caused and I'm interested to see how Dreamlight Valley responds to that driver. I'm a software tester by trade, so I'm kinda obsessed with trying to figure out why it's crashing for me 😂
On steam, when I enter Scrooge's shop, the game froze and shut down.
PC Gamepass: Still unable to update, still unable to play the game without fully uninstalling and reinstalling.
Platform: PS4 - Thank You. There has been a dramatic decrease in crashes since the first week of the game releasing. Where it was unplayable after completing the story, now I can play for quite a while before a crash. I have gotten maybe one every 3-4 hours since the last update. I have been enjoying the game a lot more because of this. The last few times I have crashed it was when doing a lot of gardening or using the Touch Of Magic on clothing for more than 5 minutes. FYI
On Switch, crashed when i closed costumizing clothing.
Has anyone on Switch's game been crashing more than normal recently? Loading the game is fine, but will randomly crash.
I wonder if they really will give us the compensation 😑
On Switch, freezes when picking up a memory. Had to leave the game with restart it gave the message" the software was closed because an error accurred"
Ok have this again please fix
Platform: Switch
Issue: Frequent crashes. Before the hotfix yesterday, I'd have maybe one a day. Since installing the loading issue hotfix, I've had at least 5 if not more crashes. I've noticed most of them occur when trying to open/organize my storage chests and home. There's also frequent freezing when opening storage chests. It doesn't always crash then, but a crash usually happens in the next 5-10 minutes.
Same on PS5
Had this issue over a month.
PS5
Game crashes during Monan how far will you go quest.
Now Moana is standing on beach asking for the fish. At the end of conversation thread game crashes. Cannot progress pas this point.
Repeated many times.
Needs a flag to skip inventory check for fish or a bypass for a location check.
Or we need an option to reset invite to island quests without starting a new game.
Platform: Switch
My game crashes almost every time I open my wardrobe (I'd say around 8/10 times) and almost every time I try to use the Touch of Magic Tool to customize clothes (around 9/10 times). If I am somehow lucky enough to get into the Touch of Magic tool without it crashing, I can't back out to save anything because it crashes every single time I try to. It's been this way since the Scar update. Is there any way I can fix this, or get it fixed? Using the Touch of Magic Tool was a favorite pastime of mine, and now I can't use it at all.
Pc player. It’s been since the 31st and I am still seeing game initialization error 5 notification come up when I try to load in, the loading bar will slowly complete but doesn’t open the game.
Xbox One
Digging in garden. Game froze. Only Xbox logo button operational on Controller. Had to force restart game.
Platform: switch
Game crashed while walking on top of rocks to cross the river in Glade of Trust.
Nintendo Switch lags, can't keep up with the weather, and crashes so very often that the game is literally unplayable.
Platform: Switch
Sooooo unstable. Is constantly crashing. I've started saving at random times after losing data yesterday. It just crashed as I was collecting stones in the elephant graveyard cave.
Platform: Switch, got all jittery and then crashed in mystic cave today trying to place torches
Had to force restart a couple of times on XBone while decorating, wasn't sure if this is a known issue or not

Switch, can’t take photos since the update that changed how photos are taken. Capture immediately crashes game. I can’t get through several quests.
Pc ( Steam): Donald's house has ✨ stars ✨ decorating the entrance indoors haha
Xbox.
Moana realm.
Thought I'd share because a few people had this issue. My game would crash everytime I tried to bring Moana out of her realm, severely limiting gameplay with ariel characters as well as Moana and Maui. I resolved this by logging into my cloud save on a friends switch. I don't know of any other way around it, but changing consoles worked.
Through some extensive and infuriating testing I managed to find out the problem might be connected to the cloud save. Or rather the game's complete inability to connect and upload it when I want to exit the game. I finally managed to get the game to load yesterday and got to play for 6 hours. Great. Only today there's "Cloud save conflict" between the local save and cloud, the cloud save is 6 hours behind, and trying to "Keep the local save" does absolutely nothing. I could maybe play on the cloud save, but why would I when I have no control on when or if it will actually save my progress. Please, please devs do something about the cloud save issues. Or just turn it off until you figure it out. And for anyone with similar issues when booting the game: for the game to load I basically have to: 1. uninstall the game, 2. reboot pc, 3. install game, 4. reboot pc, 5. verify integrity of files and reboot pc AGAIN and then if I'm lucky the game will finally load.
On Switch, crashed when fishing in the frozen lands.

Platform: Switch
Issue: After picking up the 2nd key piece for Scrooge's treasure hunt, the game crashed. The item disappeared when I logged back on and can no longer be dug up.
Platform: Xbox One. Tried to pick this flower in the sunlit plateau and I get stuck here every time. No Buttons work and I have to force quit and reastart the game.
Seems to be "just a decoration" flower, is as unpickable and unmovable as the pillar is stationary.
Platform: XBone
Issue: in the forgotten lands when the bonus things shoot around the area they're going into the ponds 🤣

Issue : the game has crashed 4 times on me today. Usually in the mist of traveling.
Edit: in the last 30 mins the game crashed twice on me and I was just walking around the plaza
Yes but the pick up option shows up and then I get stuck in that spot and can't move. I did it a few times to see if it was a Bug. I got stuck each time and had to restart the game.
On Switch, crashed when just walking around the Plaza.
On Switch, not able to move further down in furniture.
Keeps going up and down from a certain point.
This has happened more than once.
Leaving furniture and returning solves it.
On switch: when choosing a buddy to hang out for mining they glitch and get stuck in one spot and don’t follow you anymore.
Switch: Game crashes every time I try and take a picture.
For anyone having “Game initialization error 5” I have a fix for PC. I was able to fix mine finally. I had to login into steam on another computer then download the game, After that I uninstalled and reinstalled on MY computer just to be safe. I am confident that there is an issue between cloud save and local save causing the error!
So it's caused by more problems with item designation. (Pickup/Remove)
I honestly don't know how this keeps happening, but hopefully the code can be fixed to prevent it from happening in the future.

After hitting B to save designs, cannot get out of Wardrobe panel, and then end up losing the design to restart the game.
Pc, game keeps crashing
Switch. Trying to drop flowers, seed bags says”can’t drop items here” but there’s nothing in the way.
@crude thicketLily
It says “you have reached your item limit”
But it says 380/600 on the top right corner
what happens I can not collect the crops?
Nothing, they stay as they are...they do not vanish or crumble up.
My game will not save to the cloud. No matter what I try. It also keeps saying Im offline from time to time when my switch is clearly connected to the internet and all other games work fine…
Platform Switch - Still having software crash errors; After the update, it actually improved for a bit, but as of today, it is still crashing with no specific reason; except for taking a photo - FOR SURE will crash if I take a photo.
Platform Switch - I can’t change in to any tops; first it put the Disney castle long sleeve on, then I went to the coats and changed, went back and clicking on any top does nothing. 😩

Game crashed after taking a picture with the handheld camera.
Switch: game froze while trying to give customer their order, had to force close my game.
hopped on today to try to claim the 2500 moonstone today and my moonstone hasn't increased, I haven't been playing for 9 days and I just want the 2500 moonstones. I had 8,175 saved up

My game crashes when I launch it, I have a loading screen then it closes.
I updated my graphics drivers, "repaired" the game using the tools of the Xbox application on pc and launched the game as Administrator but the game still crashes.
Day 3 - Nintendo Switch; cannot play this game without continued crashes; no schedule, just crashes whenever (no specific task, with exception of trying to take a picture; I’ve completed all the quests, and I avoid going through doors, or using portals). Still crashes. Very frustrating. I only take a photo at the beginning of a session, before I’ve done anything, to avoid freezing and crashing. That helps with taking the photo (only reason I even use the camera is because of the daily tasks). It’s become a fairly frustrating experience, and I really, really hope the Switch crashes can be rectified.
Along with game crashing, I’ve been getting this endless save after moving furniture/trees/etc. If I use the tool for too long it does this before I have no choice but to force close the game.
On Switch, crashed when picking up a memory.
Anyone else have the game sticking when serving meals in the restaurant?? Second time it happened to me today
Just replying to say that I'm stilk experiencing this & it makes it impossible to create anything since it crashes immediately once accessing the feature.

problem: game froze after upgrading backpack.
Platform: windows
When receiving a memory orb, if you press escape before clicking out of the memory, then the collections tab closes, without the memory closing. This doesn't actually crash the game, but it does make it so that you have to close the game from task manager.
someone to answer the problems?
On Switch, crashed when entering store.
its a 1:25pm and the special rabbit its dont in the map.
Four times in one hour come on this is beyond frustrating every update it is promised it is fixed and every time it gets worse this is switch

Playing on switch n twice today the screen just goes black. It never happened before. The game just shuts down.
On Switch, crashed when using the X button on the switch control.
Switch crashes when I try to take pictures
Just had a soft lock in Wall-E's garden, where all I would do is walk in place endlessly and I could only move the camera.
On switch. I moved Donald’s house boat and now it’s invisible and I can’t move it or see it.
Platform- Switch
Can’t use build mode at all as every time you do, it either crashes or you can’t get out of build so have to close the software, which is super frustrating as I’ve finished everything I can in game so farming and building is all I can do until more is added 😭 so thinking I may just stop playing until another update is done
I had one behind the pillar in the pond as well ... you can move the pillar and then move it back after moving the flower or just go into furniture and move the flower to a more reachable spot. It seems as though even though we can't walk through the pond part, flowers can still spawn in that area.
Windows
The game crashed after I teleported via well
@Darkwingz#7840 Thank you! 😊
Platform: Switch Another day of continuous, unexplainable crashes; just get the same message that others have about the softer closing. Although today, and yesterday, I have no paths or fencing crafting available.
Platform- Switch
Issue: Game crashes when taking pictures, and occasionally when fast traveling between wishing wells.
Platform: Switch in addition to having 0 fence or path crafting available on the tab, once I toggle to that tab I am stuck, (cannot toggle back with Left toggle). Just rebooted game again and this crafting tab is still empty; I know I crafted paths and some finding two days ago.
Platform: PC
My screen gets stuck like this whenever I open a memory or give a character food or something and I have to force close the whole game because it won't let me exit this screen.
Platform Switch: Just a follow up on game play today; I managed to play for almost an hour, no crashes (very rarely gets past 45 mins). Was fishing with Moana, and after I said, “she ya” I want into the meadow. After picking up a few items, i went to goof’s crafting station, and the tab for fencing/path was visible. I was so excited; I made a couple of different paths, then went walking up toward the plaza. I decided to save; which it did; but game crashed when I closed the menu to return to play. The items I crafted were still there in my inventory.
