Hi! many of us apple arcade users are experiencing this issue that makes the game unplayable on ipad (9th generation) and i have also seen some reports of some iphone devices not working either. The game should be compatible on these devices although when u enter the game it appears with this issue.

I also have it I’m on iPhone SE 2020
My children and I are also experiencing this issue. We have: iPhone XR, iPhone SE (2020), and iPad 8th Generation. All running iOS 17.1.2.

I am having the same problem with connectivity and compatibility issue. Same error message as everyone else atm here. Ipad 9th generation and iphone xr
I use iPad 2022 and iPhone 13pro max.. must be an issue in general

**Please post here if you're having Apple-Arcade related issues.
Use the format below:**
Issue: Same as everyone on launch says it is incompatible when its a supported device. This was meant to be my fun cruise game!
Screenshot/Video: Same as others have posted.```
Getting the same “Oh No” error message as others have posted stating it’s not compatible with this version. Ours is an iPad Air (3rd generation) updated to 17.1.2. We can play the most recent of games such as Hello Kitty Island or Barbie Dreamhouse.
How long does it usually take for them to fix an issue?
I have deleted the app and re downloaded it 3 times and it still won’t work
Nothing has worked yet. I don't know when the devs will fix this. My ipad 9th generation and iphone xr are listed as compatible, but it won't let me login
Platform: iPad Issue: I haven’t been able to choose my name. So I’m called « player ». I restarted the game multiple times but there is no change.
Platform: iPad Pro 6th gen
Issue: Same issue where I can’t name my character and am just called “Player”
Platform: 2023 MacBook Air
Issue: called “Player Name” nowhere came up for me to insert a name.
Platform: IPad 9th generation
Issue: App store lists this iPad as being compatible with the game, but after downloading and opening the game, the game has this message saying the game isn't compatible. I've tried reinstalling with no resolution
Plataform: ipad 9th generation
Issue: Same as everyone on launch says it is incompatible when its a supported device.
Screenshot/Video: Same as others have posted.`
iPad 8th gen, iOS 17.1.2.
The game won’t load from Apple Arcade.
Platform: iPhone SE 2020 & Apple TV 4K 2nd gen

Ipad is 100% up to date
Works now on iPhone 13 Pro Max. Not working on iPad
@high blade if you could pass this on to the developers and game support to fix this on Apple devices please thank you. My iPad 9th generation and iPhone XR still won’t work. Please and thank you
Platform: iPad 8, iOS 17.1.2
Issue: Saying it’s not compatible when the App Store says it should be. This is for my daughter so I hope it gets fixed soon 😭
Same issue on two separate 9th gen, iOS 17.1.2 iPads
Platform: iPad 9th Gen
Issue: Error message saying device not compatible when it’s listed as compatible
Platform: iPad 9th Gen and iPhone SE 2nd Gen
Issue: Error message - It looks like your current device is not compatible with this version.
Screenshot/Video:
This sucks please make it supportable for us to play on it since it’s listed on the App Store.
Playing on the iPhone 15 pro - Apple Arcade. Mirabell house does not place. There are no red or orange sections. The entire house is green. But no matter what. It will not place.
I can't leave the camera and as a new player please add Brazilian Portuguese all Apple Arcade games have this language it's frustrating not understanding the game
2 separate issues on IPhone 14 and IPad (8th gen) both of which are compatible. On the iPad (same as everyone else) it’s saying it’s not compatible. And on the IPhone, anytime i play DDLV it shows “player name” and never once gave me the options to change it. (Signed in to Game Center.) both are properly up to date on updates and completely compatible according to the guidelines.
Platform: iPhone 13 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max
Issue: we haven’t been able to enter a name. Our characters are just “player”
Please fix. My daughter was really excited to play until she realised it wouldn’t let her name the character
Apple Arcade - Apple TV. Model: A1625 (64GB). tvOS: 17.1 (21K69) game downloaded and starts then a message pops up: Oh No! It looks like your current device is not compatible with this version. The game will quit automatically after closing this message. I don’t understand why I could download it if I can’t play it.
The iPad Air 3rd generation is updated to iPadOS 17.1.2 and has the A12 Bionic chip. Dealt with the tears of a 6-year old last night, and patiently explained how glitches happen etc. Can’t say I’m too happy reading the brush-off responses folks seem to be getting about compatibility. Be better Gameloft and Apple Arcade. We’re big supporters of you and you need to be listening to your customers.
Oh good, we’re all having the same issue 😂 I was like gosh my phone is barely 2 years old!
Edit: I’m used to that but the fact that it says it’s compatible in the app details and then doesn’t work for so many of us was a big question mark for me. Wonder who’s side the error is on, Apple Arcade or Gameloft 🥸
Platform: iPhone 13 mini
Issue: no sound
I mean it hasn’t gotten very great reviews at the moment on the app store it s around a 2.5 last time i checked, most of these reviews are about this one issue
Platform: Apple Arcade
Issue; No tropical wood respawning or available in mailbox
I’m getting the same error message as well.
I find the controls for editing furniture lacking - there’s no way to rotate the camera (that I can find) without leaving edit mode and adjusting the camera manually. Clicking furniture is very finicky, and I find the light fixtures constantly get clicked when attempting to click something else.
I think this is a more appropriate space for this comment: Can anyone help me? I’ve attempted to start a new save on Apple Arcade 3 times now. Every time I do this the game says it cannot connect to Game Centre even though it tells me I’m signed in, it also lets me save to iCloud. When I start the game it doesn’t give me an option to name my character and I keep ending up being called “player name”. 🙃
Platform: Iphone 15 Apple Arcade
Issue: no mail for tropical wood not respawning
platform: ipad pro 12" gen 4
issues:
- nothing in mailbox (no week 1 bonus items, no tropical wood)
- in character creator if using touch controls, after selecting eyes to change eye color/style/etc. there is no control to return to customize the rest of the character. Hitting b when using a controller works but there's no way to get out in touch controls that I could find
- TOM - after changing item base color, you cannot leave the base color to add more layer, must exit the design and come back
- TOM- touch controls don't seem to be able to rotate or move camera view other than presets
- furniture mode touch controls- cannot pan or move camera, only rotate, zoom is a little wonky
6)name - game never asks for player name and either displays name as 'player' or displays the game center account name as the player name - no full screen photo mode
- it would be helpful if saving a photo had a confirmation something
People playing thru apple arcade mention they did not receive the 220 tropical wood, given in the mail today. Mail doesn’t work..?
Apple Arcade:
Ipad Air
Scrooge's store wouldn't restock. It would stay on the same day as I opened it. Two days later same items, nothing new.
Platform: iOS. 17.1.2, iPhone 11
Issue: Because kids are locked out of internet/connection-related activities in the iOS version, my kids can’t progress through Vanellope’s quest. Also can’t complete the Scramblecoin quest with Mickey and have no option for giving Mickey gifts or having a daily discussion.
Hi, I have a bug with Remy's recipe book mission, I don't see the first book in it position

Platform: Iphone 15
Issue : opened chest and ancient core got stuck in foliage and I'm unable to edit it thru furniture mode.
Generally the game loads super fast on an iPad Pro M1, but when I restored the game from the background today and tried to load into the world from the main menu, it just sat there kinda “fake loading” for a good 2 minutes. Normally takes about 10-15 seconds. I force closed it and reopened it and it was fine again.
iPhone XR up to date with 17.1.2 says not compatible when trying to open Dreamlight in Arcade please fix
issue # 1 update - on day 4 wood/expansion fix email showed up, week 1 play bonus items have not
I received the new mail item of extra supplies due to the respawning issue, but when I try to open it, I get an error that something went wrong. Without these items, I can’t move forward on my quests.
Hello I have an issue where Mirabel is disappeared. Can’t find her all day today. I have her house in the plaza.
I had this and turned out i had no room in my inventory, worth a look just in case
Please fix apple arcade for those of us who meet the requirements and still can't play. Hot fixes are coming out but not for apple arcade? 😦 there's so many other issues I'm even not wanting to try on my phone. People who have the newest ipad 9 are being told they can't play.
I am not sure if this is the right place but I have an iphone 11 on version 17.1.2 and am having a fair few crashes when playing
I am also getting the incompatibility error message on my daughter’s 9th gen iPad. I reached out to devs but haven’t heard anything except an auto reply. Can someone from the team please acknowledge that this issue is known?
There was an update on the apple arcade version and I am still receiving the incompatibility message on my ipad. I even deleted and reinstalled and nothing works.
I’m not sure if this is an issue for every platform or just for me on my laptop with apple arcade.
First of all, (sometimes) when I open the map and travel to a location, the fast travel screen doesn’t disappear from the screen. I arrive but it still shows the locations like ‘The docks’ ‘the courtyard’, … I have to restart my game to fix it.
Secondly, and this happens often, when I load the game and go to another tab on my computer, it doesn’t respond to me moving my mouse, clicking or moving around. I always have to restart the game without checking out another tab to make sure it works.
Sometimes when I open chests and press ‘T’, it doesn’t work. I tried pressing ‘R’ but that didn’t work either. I had to restart the game to make it work. Happens often.
And lastly, not sure if it depends on what I’m doing, but sometimes the game stops responding. It’s like my keyboard and mouse are disconnected. I have to restart my game to fix it.
Now I’m glad that the game autosaves and almost none of the progress I made is lost, but it’s still quite annoying.
Can’t get items in mail box
And game keeps crashing when fast travel to docks
Codes are unable to be redeemed. A big bummer.
Hi I have an issue when I come back from the background or I use control center, the game sound will die. Please fix it quickly It is very uncomfortable 😦
I use iphone15pro 17.1.2
platform: iphone 11
issue: in jafar’s quest, im at the point where i just have to grab the hourglass staff but i cant get past the sand swirl, eve cant get out either and i dont know what to do
Game randomly crashes
Platform: iPad
Quest: The Flying Metal Nuisance: Pick up the Royal Hourglass
Issue: I can't access the royal hour glass tool because of the big rocks and the swirling sand. Eve and the hourglass are trapped.
Platform: iPad Pro [4th gen]
Issue: Rift in Time crashes on apple arcade everytime. Was able to open once after linking game center but now is crashing again each time. Also am called Player Name
App store still claims we can all download this game when apparently anyone who has less than 4gb ram (pretty much any pre 2023 ipads that are not an ipad Pro) can't play.
I've heard so many say Text size is way too small on a phone (yes even iphone pro/pro max) and there's no voice over for text to help us.
Can’t play the arcade edition on iPhones or iPads only something that has Mac OS.
Issue: Lost in the Dark Grove quest AND Secrets of Eternity Isle quest. As soon as I try to enter the portal, the game crashes and closes. When I try to enter the Dark Grove and when I interact with the Ancient Vessel. Game crashes and closes. Any advice would be appreciated. I entered a ticket for the Dark Grove issue. Thanks.

Platform: iPad air 5th gen
Issue: no option to name my player.
platform: ipad 9th gen
issue: not able to play. says it’s compatible on my device but won’t open. then looked back to the description and it says it’s not. please fix this issue.
Platform: Apple arcade, iPhone. Isuue : Donald Quest: Forgotten Project - received recipe for the fragrance from Merlin - but the item is bugged in the inventory - no action as “use” or “read” only transfer - so I am unable to continue with the quest
Platform: AppleTV
Issue: Unable to cook in any cooking quest using a SteelSeries Nimbus controller. Can not scroll down and select the "Start Cooking" option. It just keeps scrolling in the ingredients space. I do notice the ">" indicator there, but when I press ">" on the D-pad, nothing happens. I do notice that same icon indicated in the main playing window to open the "Dreamlight/Collection/Quests/Settings" menu, but it is actually the down button on the d-pad that does that.
Screenshot/Video:
Platform: Apple TV/PS4 controller
Issue: Controller icons show as XBox controls instead of PS4 controls, causing confusion on which button to press
Plattform: Ipad 9/Apple Arcade
Issue: Not playable
Platform: iPad Pro 11 (4th gen) Issue: Avatar freezes and is unable to interact with anything. I’ve restarted my device, but it keeps happening. Doesn’t matter where or what the character was doing, though it does seem to be isolated to the main realm and not the others like Emerald Isle. Video:
Platform: iPad Pro 11 [4th Gen]
Issue: Cannot travel between Eternity Isle or Dreamlight Valley either way in the evening [which is usually when I play] seems to be based on time of day because will work earlier in day then not that night.
Screenshot/Video: N/A
I cannot get to Eternity Isle at all. As soon as I interact with the boat, I get the Rift in time title screen, then the game crashes and closes. Doesn't matter time of day. Ipad pro 5th gen.
Given the arcade version is missing so many things as they are "pay extra" it is quite frustrating that the "included" dlc is totally broken and doesn't work. Especially since apple arcade just increased monthly price by 50%. Gameloft doesn't seem to be interested in fixing this. There are many of us with this issue as I've read here and on the reviews for the game in the apple store.
Platform: iPad Pro and iPhone
Issue: Unable to progress Simba quest - Seed of Memories. I’ve planted the seed in the correct place, but does not register when I water. Plant shows as brown, changes to green with droplets when watered but the quest does not progress. Bug has persisted for 2 days so far
Platform: Apple Arcade
Issue: Unable to progress in Flying Metal Nuisance due to swirling sand/rocks blocking me from getting the Royal Hourglass
Screenshot/Video:
Platform: 4th Gen AppleTV
Issue: Frequent game crashes. Happens with more frequency during longer game sessions (20+ minutes) and after spending extended time (5+ minutes) in building mode. It is especially frustrating to spend the effort lining up decorations and finding that perfect spot only to back out of the mode and have the game crash and all the effort wasted.
Still sad that those of us with iPad Air 3 and iPad 9-10 can't play even though the iPad 10 came out in 2023
Plataform: ipad 9th gen, up to date
Issue: Same as everyone on launch says it is incompatible when its a supported device.
Screenshot/Video: Same as others have posted
**Platform: **
Apple TV 4K 128GB (3rd Generation) Wi-Fi + Ethernet
**Issue: **
I am intermittently unable to load savegame data. On application load, a new game starts. Playing in offline mode seems to help. I believe the underlying issue is that my DDD User ID did not associate correctly with my Apple Game Center account.
Screenshot/Video:
n/a
Request:
Who can I contact in order to associate my DDD User ID with my Apple account, as I believe this will resolve the issue.
That isn't an issue that's how the Apple Arcade version works. You have to start a new game, you can't connect your old save to an Apple Arcade one
Hi can’t send screen shot but however platform: Apple Arcade and problem it crashes after completing quests and even after opening forgotten lands
Platform: Apple Arcade on iPad Air 4th generation
I started playing in the last week, and experienced the game crashing when trying to load A Rift In Time and also going through the dark portal in the Forest of Valor. I contacted Gameloft support about it and was told various things to try, the final one being reinstalling the app. I was a bit wary of this but as the game saves to the cloud I assumed that after reinstalling it would restart at the same place. However, despite being logged in to Apple Arcade on the same account and it still showing my “achievements”, it now wants me to start an entirely new game. There’s no sign of my progress so far and I can’t find any way to download from cloud in settings etc. Did I get bad advice and have I just lost a week of my time? 😭 I haven’t had a reply to my support ticket :/
Ver 1.8.7 Apple Arcade ipad pro 5th gen ipados 17.2
Since the update my ipad runs hotter than even before. Yesterday it sent my ipad into restore mode and it was nonresponsive until it cooled off.
Before it overheated, I retested access to Eternity Isle. I've continued playing and advance the game more. Same as before - got the title screen to Rift in Time then game crashed & closed.
Platform : IPad pro
Issue : I cannot trade dlc timebending items with Apple arcade Mac OS.
@stiff ice or anyone know where to find their local save game file on apple arcade Mac? I have lost my entire game, and can't access my I cloud ATM.
I have the latest version of Apple TV 4K (3rd generation, 2021 128 gb). Game crashes to Apple TV home screen consistently if played ~2 hours or more.
I have same issue on iPhone 11 and I am wondering how to contact gameloft
I have made Elsa’s pie and I can’t give it to her she won’t take it
Platform: iPad Air 5th generation, Apple Arcade
Issue: the names of the items needed for quests sometimes dont show and theyre just as {Item name}. Makes it very hard to play the game and do the quests, I have to look up on internet for every quest to see what they need, please fix this asap
Platform: ipad 8th gen OS 17.3.1
Issue: the game says its compatible in the arcade app store but gives me the Oh no your device is not compatible message. I was one of the 15 winners who won the year of apple arcade and cant even play the game @high blade @shut bane
Screenshot/Video:
Scrooge's safe doesn't "sparkle", so I can't get the Golden Potato to start the quest for the Rainbow Fox
i am having the same issue on my ipad 8th gen with ios 17.1.2
