toxic lion
flint elm
platform: switch
issue: right joystick not working in game. i was playing fine until i started using my touchscreen a bit and now the right joystick is not working in game. i restarted and everything, still not working but it works outside of the game.
serene cosmos
Platform: PC
Issue: (Include Device Details) The PC version has an issue with recognizing if a controller is plugged in or not and will randomly and repeatedly drop controller support. I'm currently using the Xpadder program and an Xbox controller to force controller inputs to be accepted and the menu still switches between knowing there's a controller plugged in and going back to only detecting a keyboard and mouse.
neon arch
Platform: switch
Issue: both joycons aren't working in game. Only my touch screen is working. I've attempted to restart and still an issue. Working fine on everything else with my switch.
narrow night
Platform: Xbox One S
Issue: Invert Camera still won’t persist. Every time I relaunch the game, I have to switch it from “On” to “Off”, and then back to “On”.
sly jacinth
Platform: PC
Issue: Xbox Wireless Controller works on all games other than Disney Dreamlight Valley. It allows me to initially "Press Any Key to Start", but then does not register any other inputs after that. When I try to press a button on my controller, I see all of the onscreen options turn to controller inputs instead of keyboard inputs, so it knows I have a controller, just will not let me use it for this game.
coarse grove
Platform: PC
Issue: Xbox Wireless Controllers not responding in Dreamlight Valley. Using Windows 11. Can press the "Press to Start" part, but not the "Continue". If I use a keyboard to click continue, controls don't work in game. Tried with two different computers, each with it's own xbox controller.
half flower
Platform: Switch
Issue: I have lost my tools. When I press ZR nothing shows up.
scenic portal
Platform: Steam
Issue: unable to use external keyboard and mouse on my steamdeck since the last update. I can only use handheld mode. Is there anyway to disable steamdeck controls so that while I’m docked I can use a keyboard and mouse?
I have noticed that since launch playing on my PC that if I have any external controller plugged in, the keyboard and mouse won’t work. My solution for that was always just to unplug the controller and then the keyboard and mouse would work again. Unfortunately I can’t unplug the steam deck controls..because it is the steam deck. Any ideas?
restive grove
Xbox one- I can’t press A to buy anything or talk to anyone but it lets me press A to do other things. Also won’t let me press x
astral mantle
Platform: PC
Issue: I am unable to use my Xbox One controller or anyother controller other than when the game first starts and says press here to start. After that sometimes the game will show controller tool tips (like using the LB/RB to scroll through the menu. But other than that the game doesn't even show that there's a controller connected.
proud fern
Platform: PS5
Issue: With the camera tool, it won’t let me rotate camera. It is stuck on one point of view. I’ve tested it every way possible.
smoky glen
Platform: steam
Issue: inverted camera controls reset upon launch. I use a switch controller on PC, and I use inverted camera options. About 50% of the time on launch, the camera controls will be reset to default. when i go to fix it, the controls menu still shows "inverted camera: on" but it's behaving as if it's off. to fix it i usually just toggle it off and back on and it works again.
charred salmon
Platform: switch
Issue: console is connected to the internet but the game doesn’t connect to the cloud or internet services like the starpath or premium shop
