woeful drum
autumn seal
platform: switch
issue: Controls on the camera do not function normally, the B button usually closes out of of camera mode, however, it no longer functions. The only way out is to take a picture, then hit b repeatedly and then it goes back to picture mode then scrolls through all the options y usually has and then eventually out of camera. you cannot close out with b without taking a picture any more. It's a big problem

Issue: Camera does not pan when moving, must stay still and slide finger across screen quickly in order for camera to rotate
light jolt
Platform: PC (Steam)
Issue: When hiding the UI with H on the keyboard, I can't exit like usual from ESC. I have to press H again to bring the UI back.

Issue: after being in furniture mode the camera doesn’t function properly, you can’t rotate it to a different angle anymore. It’s been like this for months 😭
stoic zinc
My character gets stuck on this part of my map every time. No where else. I'm able to get her unstuck by traveling to the well. Please fix this spot. Thank you
vagrant herald
Platform: PS4
Issue: camera controls are STILL freezing after entering and exiting furniture mode. I really wish this would be prioritized because I’m tired of having to reload the game to finish my dreamsnap. This improved the week before the update but the update reverted it back to being frozen.
cyan roost
Platform: Steam Deck
Issues:
Furniture Mode - unable to scroll down to Star Path filter section.
Touch of Magic - no longer able to edit designs with controller
Furniture/Wardrobe/Inventory - no longer able to use mouse
quartz lion
Platform: PS5
Issue: Keep getting stuck in planters if interacting with item near it/on it
astral jay
Platform: PC / xbox game pass
Issue: game does not react to controller input correctly - for example when trying to buy things or chatting with characters, it is not possible to choose options, only to exit out of the conversation with O (sometimes not even that). Also affects trying to save and exit from the menu. Can move around but that's about it. Using a playstation controller, but the keyboard has the same issue too.
topaz skiff
Platform: Switch
Issue: When I’m trying to access the character menu, it won’t let me click right and scroll through the characters. It stays on “Dreamlight Valley, Eternity Isle, and All Areas.” I’ve had trouble with the controls throughout playing this game. I thought it was a controller issue but even buying a new controller, it’s the same issue.
flat haven
Xbox series x and also s
