Critter or Companion Name: Any companion.

Issue: Companions near the doorway can soft lock the game when trying to exit.

Experienced this only in the player's house, can't speak to whether it happens elsewhere. A companion positioned near the doorway can result in the player character getting stuck in the walk animation after pressing the key/button to exit. Sometimes it resolves after a brief pause and you exit, sometimes it completely locks the game; can't open menus, can't interact with anything, have to Alt+F4 to kill the game.

Was able to feed critters on both consoles on the newest update until I started the Meddling Mirabel quest. I tried rolling back my save file by going on the my switch and choosing to use the local file, which undid leveling her up to 7 and back to before I started the quest, and uploading the save file from the switch. Unfortunately that did not fix the issue and it is still present on PC and now on the Switch even though the switch has not loaded the save file from the cloud at all.
Screenshots show how it looks when attempting to feed two types of critters.

Update: Today I was able to feed my critters and I don't know why. I could not yesterday. I had tried to empty inventory approach a couple days ago and that didn't fix it. I did craft the guide books on day 1 of the update but immediately put them a chest. I have never carried them around nor gifted them to anyone. I finished all of Olaf's quests first before starting on Mirabel's. I still had the greyed out veggie icon in the bottom right corner when I tried to give blueberries to the raccoons for the Mirabel quest BUT I was able to do it. After that, I was able to feed all of the other critters without issue. I will report back only if the issue returns.

Update for some reason I was able to feed critters yesterday for the first time since the update.

Yesterday I had completed all those things so I wonder if that was it.||

Platform: Nintendo Switch Lite Console
Issue: I can’t seem to befriend the ravens. I’ve been feeding them 5-star meals (always Arendellian Pickled Herring) once a day, but none of them have been added to my companion list, nor have they been recorded in the collection tab. I can understand if I’ve miscounted the other ravens but I know for a fact that I’ve fed the Classic Raven about 5-6 times and the White Raven about 4-5 times now since they’re the ones who visit most often. I saw on a guide that it takes about 2 to 3 times with the same 5-star meal to befriend them. Every other critter is working properly and I’m slowly befriending all of them but for some reason the ravens just aren’t budging.

I am having a issue with getting Eric tethered to me. He agrees when I ask, then says, see ya rofl. I can get all my companions but him. The critters are a problem at times… sometimes when I approach, the option to give them food or treats do not come up. Usually, it’s a blank screen and when it happens, I can’t feed any of the critters. If I reboot the reboot usually resolves the problem. I have the game on my Switch.

sharp stream
#

Platform: Xbox on PC
Issue: I can feed the critters just as normal, but lately they will act like they didn't get fed yet (like 20 minutes later).

  1. I always feed after midnight, so I know the critters that are there will be there while I play (as opposed to switching at midnight)

  2. I am feeding the right food.

  3. I will humor them and chase them and whatnot, and the green arrow is lit that I did feed them, but I guess they forgot?

I don't even know if this is making sense, I just know that they shouldn't be acting like I hadn't fed them yet, when I just did.

I played for several hours today and everything worked as intended, when suddenly I couldnt feed any critters anymore. Maybe I lost wifi connection while I tried to feed a fox and then the dead UI happened. I restarted the game, it did not fix it. It happens to every critter now, cant feed em. Atleast I have completed the Scar and Madrigal Quest before this issue happened.

I had landscaped the Glade of Trust (and Dazzle Beach) by removing everything possible then adding as I wanted too. When I loaded my game up today, Crocs & Turtles were nowhere to be found. I restarted 3 times to see if it was just a glitch that re-launching the game would fix, but alas it did not. The crocs and turtles are not spawning.

Platform: Xbox (Gamepass)
Issue: I've submitted a support ticket about this as well, but yesterday morning I unlocked the Classic Fox companion (had it equipped and everything). The next day when I booted up the game, it was no longer in my wardrobe as an equippable option, nor does it show as collected in my collection tab. I got both the blue fox and the classic fox at roughly the same time, and the blue fox is still collected. My save appears to still be up to date in every other way, and no other progress was lost as far as I could tell.
