switch, went to talk to goofy and my game softlocked where I can move the camera but nothing else works. just me and goofy, staring at each other in companionable silence.

quaint sphinx
wanton elm
#

Platform: PC
Issue: None of the critters are making sounds anymore. For example when I pet my companion raccoon, they just silently jump, or when I chase a rabbit or fox around they don't make any of those chirping noises they usually do

edgy sail
#

Platform: switch
Issue: Merlin says he has another quest for me soon. Yet I can't see his quest in the quest-menu. So I can't see what specific actions I need to take to be able to do the quest. Also, I completed all my quests before the update, so this must be an after update quest

Platform: Switch
Issue: Everytime I exit my home my companion starts a conversion with me just in front of the outside door, the companion doesn't seem to matter (happened with Elsa, Nala, Kristoff)

#

Platform: PS4
Issue: Conversation text between villagers completeley disappeared. I only see them gesturing with each other.

Platform: PC
Issue: Minnie hasn't been showing up in my map for weeks now

lament knoll
#

Platform: Xbox
Issue: before the update, any characters would get at least a little bit of friendship points no matter what we did together, but they'd get even more if we did their hangout bonus. Now my points haven't been going up at all, unless we're doing their hang out bonus.

Like, if I had woody for mining, it would show a bunch of hearts above his head when we mined, but only one if we were to fish or dig, but now I only get points when we mine. :(

sleek bear

Platform: PC via Steam
Issue: The issue where companions will turn solid and get you stuck in a doorway is still happening. Just glad autosave is every 5 minutes. Also Stitch's eyes look really creepy in this pic.

Switch - I don't have a screenshot, but when doing the "let's hang out!" Action some NPC's don't follow you around at all, some will straight up disappear during actions - like I had Simba today disappear when I was mining earlier today, with no extra item given after mining a spot, or Woody accepting the let's hang out prompt then going on about his way instead of following along.

edgy sail
#

Platform: nintendo switch
Issue: NPC's stop following after a quest is finished

crisp yarrow
#

Platform: Switch
Issue: Minnie not showing up on the map

vale skiff
#

Platform: Xbox
Issue: Kristoff’s guitar music is overriding the rest of the background music playlist. I realized for like an hour all I was hearing was his idle guitar music. No valley songs played just his idle sound and he wasn’t even in the same biome as I was

elfin dragon
#

Switch
So i cant really share a picture but Olaf's lvl bar is no longer going up. I had a convo and gave him his fav gifts and his bar stayed in the exact same place as before. I even took him around my valley to clear out some night thorns and his bar was still in the same place after.

viral lake
#

Switch - NPC's facing wrong way when doing idle actions.

waxen sable
#

Platform: PC
Issue: So I’m hanging out with my forager, Ariel. And every so often, she just stops walking. I either get the bonuses on the ground that aren’t glowing, or no bonuses. Then when I go back to her and talk to her, she follows me again. Happened in the Plaza and now the glade

regal wharf
#

Platform: PC
Issue: I talked to Scrooge, and... it focused on him, like normal, but no text came up. I got softlocked, and had to restart.

hard turtle
#

Platform: Steam
Issue: asked Mickey to hang out, he followed me a little but then got stuck in place. I have to walk quite a distance from him to get him to give me the extra harvest items. Pushing him around solved the issue

haughty oasis
#

PC - Steam
Like others, my buddy is 'with me' but not with me. I seem to have lost her (Nala) somewhere on the beach as I came up to the glade. I still get bonus drops near me. Also with this new update it seems to take a little longer for the game to register the bonus drops and I'll see Nala start going toward the last item foraged about a minute after I've moved along.

wanton elm
#

Platform: PC, Xbox
Issue: After I stop hanging out with Simba (and even when hanging out with other NPCs), he still follows me everywhere around the map. I have to restart to get him to stop following me

hoary furnace

weary verge

pseudo bobcat
#

Platform is switch. I was hanging out with Mickey when I changed him from foraging to farming and he got stuck following me. I tried to have him hangout with me again and then make him not hangout with me but it still didn’t make him stop following me. I closed the game and got back on but he’s still following.

Screenshot/Video:

alpine phoenix
#

Platform: Switch
Issue: none of the buddies are doing their jobs.

I keep finding my buddy bonuses just randomly scattered and no longer glowing, which is an absolute nightmare when I just harvested 100 okra and Woody wandered off and spewed them elsewhere....

I've also had Simba, Mirabel, Merlin, and Gothel all do the same... Wander off mid-activity and just drop all the goodies somewhere else.

formal flint
#

Platform: Steam/PC
Issue: Minnie, how are you flying? You have dreamlight magic too? (She is not hanging out with me either, I just found her like this. She appears to be stuck there too since she is just walking back and forth above that rock below her)

pseudo bobcat
#

Platform is switch. Character is Elsa. Issue is that its not saying that I gave her, her favorite item even though I did it twice. The specific item is porridge if that’s something you need to know.

flint barn
severe mesa
tardy shadow
#

Platform: Steam
I've noticed that Nala have some inaccuracies when it comes to her in game design. For example her eyes are blue when they're supposed to be green, like in the first movie. And her paws aren't supposed to have "socks" or whatever you might call it. They are supposed to be solid like her body. I know this isn't really a bug, but I didn't know where else to post this. I was surprised that no one else seemed to notice this.

sharp pollen
#

Platform: PC
Issue: My villager companions freeze up for foraging and gardening, not producing the extra items as I go and then the items appear all at once later on. The villagers actually do not move; they just stand there. If I go back and talk to the villager, it seems to break them out of this freeze. I have no issues with mining or fishing, as an FYI. I have not tried digging (I don’t normally dig), so I don’t know about this activity.

nimble lily
#

Platform: PC, steam
Issue: Mirabel has an animation with butterflies and it plays when she’s inside Scrooge’s

#

I'm finding an issue where it's registering NPCs as in their house but they aren't in their house when I go in. When I leave, it still shows they are in their houses.

rugged glacier
#

Platform: PC
Issue: I can no longer access Moana's boat. I upgraded it after the update came out, and I haven't been able to see what she's fished since.

bold quail
#

Platform: PC (Steam)
Issue (Include NPC Name): I've been having issues with most my forging and gardening NPCs not following behind me and having a delay giving the extra materials. Mirabel as my forager is my recent encounter. So far it has been Anna (Gardener), Wall-e (Gardener), Olaf (Forager), Buzz Lightyear (Forager). I have to bump into them in order to follow me around.

flint drift
#

Platform:PS5
Issue: walle wasn't moving at all so I went to speak to him to try and reset him and my game softlocked. I could move the camera but all other buttons didn't work. I had to restart the game.

rigid timber
#

Platform: Switch
Issue:

It seems that Remy does not follow when hanging out... sometimes he does not even follow through the next biome, so he is somewhere.
I do get items from him (Foraging buddy) but i make take some time and sometime i find a later in game on the ground.

gloomy sierra

hearty orchid
#

Platform: Switch
Issue: Nala got stuck on the stairs.
We were "hanging out" together (I also had her selected on the map, so had the sparklies headed towards her) and headed down the center stairs from the plaza to the meadow. While she continued to produce additional Foraging items even as I went to the Glade, she didn't move from the stairs until I came back and approached from the other side.

Update: this has now happened with Mirabel and Mother Gothel as well, all Foraging companions.

terse cipher
#

Platform: all
Issue: Mostly Prince Eric but also others who play an musical instrument. The same tune every sec they're around you. Kind of annoying

iron heath
#

Platform:Xbox Issue: Both Simba and nala have been getting stuck when hanging out with them and doing the trait i set for them. Example when i garden with nala she will freeze in one spot and not do anything until i move her by pushing her. Simba when fishing will stay in the last spot i fished until i move him too.

open briar
#

Platform: Switch
Issue: This is not an “issue” per say. It does not cause any problems with gameplay. However, I’ve noticed that Mother Gothel’s dialogue is .. incorrect? When you tell her that her view of magic is “very practical,” she responds, “Perhaps to you. To me, it’s merely practical.” 🤔 I have attached screenshots of the interaction. This happens every time the dialogue is chosen.

pseudo vale
#

Platform: PC There is no animation for Goofy switching outfits. When you select his conductor outfit it just refocuses back to your character.

fleet sentinel
#

Platform: PC
Issue (Include NPC Name): Donald Duck, Goofy, Micky and Minnie Mouse - I have alternate outfits for each of these characters. I earned both Goofy’s and Donald’s today in the new Star Path. I was able to change Goofy’s with no issue, however I can’t get Donald’s to change. It just takes me back to the game screen. I tried changing Minnie’s outfit to her Polka Dot dress from the silver one and I was able to change it and had the well animation. I tried Donald again, and it didn’t work. I tried Mickey to get him back into normal clothes and out of the silver outfit and his wouldn’t switch back either. I saved my game and shut down my game. Rebooted my PC and restarted my game and it still happened with the same two characters.

jaunty lion
#

Platform: PS4
Got cornered by Simba when hanging out and couldn’t get him to move with a bump like I used too. Had to stop hanging out with him to get him to leave so I could walk through. He doesn’t move when you get close. Makes it difficult to pick up gems and other materials when mining with him.

hard sinew
#

Platform: switch
Issue: goofy coming to his stand and Moana coming to her stand and kristoff coming to his stand. I either have to click browse 7 times or they just don’t come at all. It also seems like time of day effects it. Like I can’t get fish from Moana at all in the evening

I haven't seen her in her home ONCE when the map says shes there with 70+ hrs of playing.

coral zinc
#

Platform: PC
Issue: If Donald's tantrum animation is cancelled before he can finish, he will enter an endless loop until you walk away entirely and let him finish. Example: If fishing and he joins as a spectator, then begins his tantrum -- if you catch a fish, it will cancel and he will do his happy/celebration animation and then immediately fall and begin it again. If you are fishing consecutively, then this is an endless loop. Similar results happen when he greets you mid-tantrum as well.
