Switch, Eric. I had the bug that made it impossible to finish the last quest with Ursula. I now managed to finish that one, and level Eric up, but I can’t hang out with him. When I select “let’s hang out” he says goodbye and leaves.

Platform: PC
NPC: Mickey and Donald
Issue: They are getting into places they shouldn't. I'm pretty sure they got stuck in a conversation animation which is why they're posed the way they are whenever I find them. However, I'm not sure WHY they are following my character around like this 🤔

Platform: switch
Issue : Eric will no longer hang out with me, I ask and he says yes and it just doesn’t take. He wanders off and if I approach him again it’s as if I did not already ask. He is a Gardener.

Every time I enter a building with Maribel she pops up like she came in from the back door and not the front door it's nothing major but it's also will give you a jump scare like say the beach cave you'll walk in start going down then she will meet you coming in from the other direction this happens in every location I've taken her too. She has even came down the stairs from the castle like she knows all the hidden back doors to everywhere 😆 -Switch platform

#

Platform: Switch
Issue: Mirabel spawns in this area for some reason. She can't get out and I can't reach her because of the "door." I placed her house above the cave in the meadows but she spawns here on occasion. (I have since moved her house temporarily to stop this, but I would like to be able to put it back eventually 🥲 )

#

Platform: PC
Issue: Mickey keeps trapping me. I can't push him out of the way, and hes preventing me from entering or leaving rooms. He also was preventing me from picking stuff up, had to run way away to get him to move off things that dropped to pick them up. It caused the game to have to be force quit just so I could leave a house.

plaform: xbox game pass/pc
Olaf's voice seems to be MUCH louder than the other villagers, startlingly so. I haven't unlocked Mirabel yet to see if she's also loud, but I have my sound settings the same as always and he just seems louder than everyone else

Edit update: Mirabel's voice sounds like it's at normal volume, so it's just Olaf's so far that i can tell

Platform: PC
Issue (Include NPC Name): Mickey will not move except for following - even when planting my character will path around him with difficulty as he doesn’t budge. I had the same issue earlier with another NPC but forgot who it was, may have been Maui.

I’m having trouble getting Eric to hang out with me to level him up to get the next quest I tried saving and restarting the whole game including my ps4 however this hasn’t resolved the issue ?

Issue: Elsa and Kristoff (for now). They both have mining as their profession? (Idk what are those named) So when I'm mining in the Glade and they want to pick up an additional item they are starting the animation of it and then in a literal second stopping it. They do it over and over again until I move them and they finally pick it up. It's not a big deal though

When a character is set to hang out they become immovable making it hard to collect items that spawn in small spaces without teleporting out, also when you click to exit your house and the character is at the exit gate its an infinite loop of the player walking and all other buttons become unresponsive and the game has to be reloaded to fix the probelm i have witnessed this issue a number of times since the game was released

It seems like Mirabel and Merlin have switched dialogue? Like, Merlin has the chat bubbles that I'm pretty sure belong to Mirabel (IE comments about the candle and family) and Mirabel has the chat bubbles that I'm pretty certain belong to Merlin.

#

Platform: PC Windows/ Steam
NPC's: All
When levelling up via daily discussion or giving a quest item, the overlay of the give item/ character level-up does not disappear. The character will acknowledge the giving of the item, or will restart the daily discussion. I cannot progress further than the first text box due to the overlay being open still, I cannot do anything and am stuck, but the game isn't frozen. I have tried various buttons, including escape, but the only work-around I have found at the moment is totally shutting down the game via Alt-F4 or Task Manager. I did try to submit this via the online form twice today but it wont let me 😦
EDIT: Also happened with the Buying more tokens, so I'll copy this into another issue chain

grim shadow
#

Platform: PC Issue: went into Miralbel's house with Olaf as a follower. Olaf is stuck in place and will not move when I run into him (which would be annoying enough considering that there is 0 warning before characters start doing this AND THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MONTHS) but he's in the doorway, which means that when I tried to exit, I got stuck in an infinite walking animation into Olaf which makes my screen shake but will not allow me to exit the building, enter the pause menu, redirect my character, or do literally anything else. Again, this has been an ongoing issue with NPCs for months, for the love of god FIX THE NPCS THIS IS THE BARE MINIMUM

Platform:switch
Issue:Stuck in Remis restaurant because Donald won't move out of the way. I was hoping these things would be fixed with the update. That means I have to wait like 3 months for another update to maybe play this game without screaming every 5 minutes over stupid glitches that should be easy to fix. Great.

Issue: since the update the game is constantly freezing on menus and after resetting as that’s the only way to sort the issues villagers are constantly disappearing off the map.

jovial dirge
#

PC (Epic)

Various NPC's have been getting stuck in ways I've never seen before. Kinda gotten used to my mining buddies needing a shove to get them moving but they are getting stuck where there is nothing to get stuck on.

Also, my gardening ones (Olaf, Minnie and Mickey so far) have been getting stuck on the bonus animation in the middle of the plots. When Olaf got stuck (still traumatised by the sight of his head spinning around over and over) it also seemed to jam up my companion too. Shoving them doesn't work and the best way to get them moving again is to plant seeds until that moves them.

Even had my foraging bud, Remi, get stuck a couple of times too.

Platform: Switch
Issue:
Several times npcs are not moveable. Usually when you walk against them they move with you, however now they are like solid rocks. This is very frustrating when they are a companion because i got stuck several times because of them.

I selected to hangout with him yesterday, but never came. What was weird though that Scar was following and seemed to be hanging out but when I chatted with him it said I wasn’t.

#

Platform : PC (Steam)
Issue : As others have said, Prince Eric will not follow you after agreeing to hang out with you. As a matter of fact, you can immediately ask another NPC to hang out with you with no problem, so Eric doesn't even flag the player as currently having someone following them.

Mirabel, she is stuck in the cave in Dazzle Beach. When I go to talk to her my character enters the cave and when I’m in the cave Mirabel isn’t in it. When I leave she’s right at the entrance of the cave. Just far enough for me to not be able talk to her. She doesn’t leave either so I can’t do any of her quests.

Platform : PC (Steam)
Issue : Same as listed above. Mirabel is stuck in her house and has no ability to 'hang out' with her. I believe this is linked to her quest to repair the house, as she is waiting for you to return to do the repairs. Quest is currently active in my game when this problem started.
Update : After fixing her house, Mirabel becomes visible on the map, but won't leave the house. When you finish the next steps of the quest and finally finish it, she is now be able to 'hang out' with you while she is still in your house at the end of the quest. I was unable to fully test this as I left the house at this point, and she immediately went home to sleep.

https://prnt.sc/dxeUHia9LhBH
i couldn't get a proper screen grab of it, but when an NPC stands on the end corner of the pier like shown in the image, they 'blink' rapidly between two images of themselves.
i think it might be the walkmesh on the pier, maybe donald has one foot in an angle between logs, and the other foot on top of a log, and it doesn't seem to know if he's standing upright or tilting forward more.
not sure if this goes in visual glitches, but it only seems to happen with npcs.
PS: wanted to note, it also happend with goofy a few months back.

Normally I can push her away and then she'll give me whatever from it but this time, I couldn't. I tried stopping and starting the hang out with her but starting it back up put her back in the glitched out spot even if she had already moved. So I ended up just stopping again and losing out on the extra emerald and citrine she would have normally given me.

In a previous post I mentioned problems with Buzz but those problems were also connected to Eric as I have been unable to Hang with Eric for a couple days now. I finally was able to stop Buzz hanging out with me, but Eric still won’t when I tried

Restarting te game doesn't solve the problem.

Edit: When I already have a NPC helping out, I can't make them to leave untill I restart the game. Even when I try to ask a new one to help out.

You can choose it, just as others. But then he says goodbye and never comes with.

Issue (Include NPC Name): Every time I need to give something to a character (e.g. Merlin an emerald, mushrooms and crystals), the screen freezes with the give box asking if I want to give these things to the character and then won't go away. The first subsequent dialog from the character then appears in the background.
This has already happened to me with several characters....

I see a lot of people are having issues with character dialogues. For example Merlin says Mirabel’s lines when he talks to Mirabel and Mirabel says Merlin’s lines

#

Platform: PC (Gamepass)
Issue (Include NPC Name): Character dialogue is said by NPC. Anna says a line intended for the character to say during one of Olaf's quests (I forgot which one). Goofy says a line intended for the character in one of the daily discussion options (the one where Scrooge advises him to keep track of his inventory).

Platform: Nintendo Switch
Issue: Eric - When I ask to hang out with Eric he agreed but then says goodbye, so I can’t hangout with him. If I am already hanging out with a villager when I ask Eric to hang out, then the “let’s hang out later” option does not work. The only way to stop hanging out with that villager is to hang out with a different villager.

Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: In a daily conversation with Olaf where he asks to be told a story, some of the textboxes that should be from the player's character have Olaf's name, and the dialogue doesn't make sense coming from Olaf.
(This was with the Tangled option, no idea if the other two options are the same.)

Issue: when I go to buy from kristoff’s stall the bell rings I move to the side and then nothing happens and my character moves back to normal. I have to try about 3-4 times to be able to buy anything. And one time I could buy but kristoff wasn’t even in frame. And no nothing is blocking the stall. I moved it just to make sure and it’s in an open area.

Update: this is now happening with all stalls. 3/20/23

Platform: Nintendo
Issue: Minnie (and sometimes other characters, but more recently her) just keeps disappearing off of the map, shes never in the restaurant or store as i check to make sure she wasnt hiding underneath another character bubble. Most the time in order to find her ive had to reopen the map 4 to 5 times before shes popped back up, or she’ll just show back up on the map after moving it around for a bit (as shown in the video) and i can tag her, sometimes the path disappears before i can get to her though.

#

Platform: windows
Issue: when you walk by a character who has a text box pop-up even after the character is out of frame, the pop-up is still visible. So instead of it looking like the character is saying that, it looks like the ground is saying it. As far as I can tell, this happens with every character and every text box. It is a lot more noticeable with longer text boxes, but that's just because they're on screen for longer.

I tried standing outside waiting and putting down fruit to lure her out. Has been happening multiple sessions, for two days now. She looks like she's taunting me. 🤣

Prince Eric will not hang out with me... He says I'm sure we could stir up an adventure or two but never comes to hang out.... And when I hang out with Maribel she pins me to the ore of collecting from and won't move when I say we'll hang out later. I'm being bullied by NPC and I don't know why.

Xbox. Mirabell. I have her set for gardening and she gains no exp or acts like my other gardening set characters. However she gains it when I go around foraging like I would with me foraging characters. So in short mirabell is acting like she’s set to foraging instead of gardening like she is set to.

I have leveled up both Scar, Anna and Kristoff to level 10

I collected all the items required to complete Scar's quest - The Making Of A Monacrch , to craft the Sunbird feeders, and this isn't showing as available when I go to craft it.

This is the same with Kristoff's Quest - A Broken Sledge- I'm at the point where I need to repair the Sledge, but it's not showing in my inventory to repair.

Then finally with Anna, I'm at level 10 with her, but the quest list shows I need to level up friendship to level 7 to progress further, which I have done so.

Platform: Switch
NPC: Olaf, Woody, Buzz (so far)
Issue: When hanging out with these NPCs (particularly mining), sometimes they start doing the head-banging thing i'm sure is a known issue. What i usually do when they start doing this is push them away until they snap out of it and produce their bonus. However, there are sometimes where they cannot be pushed. When this happens, i just use the map and fast travel to the nearest well, but in the mines, if i want the bonus, i would have to restart, leave the mines and fast travel, or wait for the game to crash. Luckily, this hasn't happened to me in the mines yet, but it's only a matter of time.
