Issue: Internet Connectivity Issue
After updating this morning when I launch the game it gives me a box that reads: "Cannot connect to online services. Continue in offline Mode." If I click Connect it then says "Cannot connect to online services. Continue playing in offline mode." Again. I have been trying for a couple of hours and have restarted my computer. I am currently typing this on the computer so my internet is working just fine.

Platform series x everytime I go to goofy stall or to put items in my chest the game freezes why is this not fixed after a month now the last two seasons now.

Issue: Game freeze/crash during Frozen realm quest: "The Spirits Of Nature"
I wasn't sure I was being specific enough reporting this problem, so I wanted to indicate the quest name where I was having the problem. It is during "The Spirits Of Nature" that whenever I get close to Anna while returning Bruni to her, the game freezes up and crashes on me, and this has been going on since at least "The Remembering" update when the Fairy Godmother was added.

Please look into this and fix it ASAP as I can't proceed any further without Anna or Elsa to help unlock the rest of some of the biomes by upgrading my Royal Tools.

Platform: Steam (PC)
Issue: When I got the confirmation on whether or not to hand over the 5 flying books to Belle, the box froze after i went for the option of giving her the items. The background keeps moving, but i cant do anything in game without having to close the game completely.

After restarting it (cant open settings either so i had to use keybinds) the quest continues from where it froze, but i had to enter the realm etc. over again.

I am currently on the Curse quest with Gothel, and this started when I began that quest line. Every time I try to open the map (pressing m, using a well, trying to open it through the menu) the game freezes then closes. I get no error code when it does this

Screenshot/Video: As you can see in the screenshot, the game just froze during the loading screen when I try to get into Belle and Beast's realm. At this point I'm forced to close the game with windows, there is nothing I can do.

worldly timber
#

Platform: Steam
Issue: Game always freezes at first start, I have to force close the game and start it again for it to work. It's stuck at the very first loading bar, not the one with the current patch's background, but the one with the black background at the very beginning, that's usually only there for a second. Since yesterday's patch, each time I start the game, it gets stuck on this screen forever. Closing the game and then starting it again makes it behave as normal and it loads just fine

Bug #201 will cause you to lose a lot of moonstone (blue chest, vote, challenges), how do you plan to remedy this?

Issue: I ask Mickey to hang out, and the second I press M to view the map. It crashes. It's happened three times. Also, I don't know if it makes a difference, but I also have the starpath quest to hang out with the Wizard's apprentice. Update: I tried it with Scrooge, and the same thing happened. Update 2: I tried it with Remy. Same issue happens. Update 3: Tried to stop hanging out with them, and opening the map. Crash still happens.

Platform PC - Steam. As with others, I just started the mother gothel plot line and now the game crashes when I try to move to the map tab. No error, it just freezes completely.
I tried rebooting and reinstalling.

Worth adding that when I load the save using Xbox cloud gaming it also crashes.

Issue: "Game initialization error (#4)"
I stopped the game because it got stuck on a me serving someone at remy's restaurant when I was giving them their meal (which happens a lot by the way but that's not the issue right now) and after I turned it off and then turned it on again it stopped at the loading screen where the seasonal image is and it's put "Game initialization error (#4)"

PS.: I tried everything, I deleted epic games and dreamlight Valley I reinstalled them, the issue is still present

Platform: Steam
Issue: Crashing during the quest "The Curse." After you speak to mother gothel in her tower, and the cinematic plays from the shadow moving from her tower to the town, you are no longer able to open the map or any menus without the game crashing to desktop with no error codes.

I was able to stop this issue by completing the full "the Curse" questline without accessing my menu or maps, and as soon as the cinematic at the end played after speaking to mother gothel again, it stopped crashing.

PC (Steam)
No crash, but **lagging as hell!
**
While I'm the candle-man (Costume from Belle) the game is lagging, I can barely walk, it's like in slow motion, the text while talking to beast is stuttering, every line, every movement all takes super long.
The problem was before too in the world, while running/sliding a curve or from one area to another, or harvesting is impossible since months!

The loading screen by entering Belles Realm takes over minutes.

PC: Gamepass
Issue: There is no error code. For about 5 days now, I've gotten infinite loading screen after moving furnature/decorating my valley. It loads and then starts moving things around seemingly infinitely, until I force quit the game and reload it. Upon reload, those items will sometimes be in the place I left them or in random areas.

Issue: I can't decorate anymore. I'll do things, exit out of edit mode, and it will just constantly load and flash until I restart the game and things don't save.

Platform: Gamepass (PC)
Issue: Confirming to hand a NPC a quest item causes my game to freeze and I have to Alt-F4. I have a feeling it has to do with me pressing A on my controller to hand over the item right as the menu pops up. This has happened a few other times in the last day with other quests and NPCs. I also tried using my mouse to confirm handing the item over and esc on the keyboard to get out but it still stayed on this screen.

Due to having issues on the Xbox, I bought it on Steam, and got less than 8 hours into it before it would crash as soon as I open the menu. There are no error codes because it completely shuts down the game. And my PC does not crash for much bigger games.

Just a question on the item limits, on Xbox One it's 3000, but PC it's 6000 right? So why when I load on PC the item limit still says 3000 and is grayed out for me? Also, could I ever load the same save up on Xbox One if i go to the 6000 limit?

I just can't return Bruni to Anna without the game crashing as soon as I try to load the realm up as it crashed when I first tried returning Bruni to her after collecting him, and keeps crashing whenever I go into the realm to return him after that. If I can't return him to Anna, I can't finish the realm quests and unlock Anna and Elsa. Please fix this.

Platform (Microsoft Store, Steam, Epic): Xbox PC Game Pass
Issue (Include Error Codes): Getting a lot of intermittent freezing and crashing. When switching UI (like going from gardening to viewing inventory or decorating, etc) the window will get stuck at the loading screen and then eventually crash. Never really had performance issues before this update.

vale bison

Lots of crashing on Steam/PC whilst doing anything really. Often I'll be planting or decorating and it will crash. At times I will open the map and it will crash as well. There's a lot of freezing and pausing . I did an amazing design and it crashed and nothing saved. There weren't issues like this before the update, I'm using a high end gaming computer. There's no reason it wouldn't be able to handle the game. I have no issues running any other games. It's getting to the point that I don't want to play because I'm fearful it will crash after spending so much time on it.

Platform is Steam/PC and my game is becomes unresponsive pretty much doing anything. I could be planting, watering, fishing, picking flowers. It usually happens within the first 30 mins of play whether I've saved the game or not... usually when I haven't saved.

Man, the game's officially dropping in Less than a month and are they EVER gonna fix this Issue thats been here since Early Access Launch?! The issue where you click too fast and the Textbox stays up, leaving you with literally no other option but to wait 5 minutes for the autosave to kick in and then reset my game?? You literally cant get rid of that textbox, youre forced to wait and do nothing unless you wanna lose some progress. We can't still be on this... It happens on Xbox and PC, so can only assume its a Platform-wide issue. This needs fixing for certain

lapis fog
#

Not sure if this count's as a crashing issue but on steam when I pick up memories that are dropped by farming, fishing, etc. there is a chance that the memory opens and when I close it the menu closes but the memory is stuck open. I have to hard reset the game to do anything afterwards. I also have the game on switch and haven't seen it there as of yet so it seems to be a pc exclusive issue if I had to guess. This does not happen for every memory but it happens often enough to be a regular issue.

So, all of a sudden, my Dreamlight Valley Game won't load tonight upon opening the game. I play it on my PC and was literally playing it a few hours ago with no issues. It's freezing on the black loading screen right after it shows image of Gameloft. The star in the lower corner stops spinning. I should also add that i restarted my computer and reinstalled the game. It's still happening and freezes and crashes. Does not even make it to title menu.

Steam PC

Not a crashing report but a performance one.

This game runs terrible on my gaming machine. Frequent and terrible frame drops. Stuttering. Yes I have adjusted my settings and played with them to try and find the optimal combination.

It is not a PC issue as I can run RDR2 and Elden Ring at much higher FPS and graphics settings.

Really hoping for better optimization of DLV.
