wintry helm
wide lantern
Platform: PC
Issue: Critters disappearing before they're supposed to. I've seen rumor that the times don't account for daylight savings which makes sense. I have the Oasis unlocked and it's not very big - I've reset my game even and still don't see it. Also, I've never adjusted the time on my game.
Critter or Companion Name: Pink Spotted Cobra (though I had this problem with the black and white capybara as well)

zinc sphinx
Issue: Earned Critter but then my game froze so I can equip the critter but it does not appear on the collection menu.
Critter or Companion Name: Classic Cobra

Issue: Fox stuck near well and won't follow me anymore.
radiant olive
Platform: Pc/Steam
Issue: Red & Beige Monkey was still very frustrating to feed. It kept on glitching around, mainly in the stairs that go under Overlook
desert raft
Platform: PS5
Issue: in eternal isle trying to get the beige monkey , black and brown monkey, black and grey monkey. I'm not able to get them as they keep glitching into the walls. Or in the water. Been unable to get them as a friend since start of the game
winged rivet
Platform: PC/Microsoft Store
Issue: Like before update, the monkeys are completely bugged and will go to corners and dissapear while chasing causing an infinite cycle of chasing them since it seems the counter resets. I can't tell you enough how frustrating that is
jolly hawk
Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: Red and Beige Monkey keeps running into areas inaccessible to the player (such as the branches of a tree out in the water) as well as disappearing and reappearing somewhere else. Every tine the monkey does this it seems to reset the chase so I am completely unable to feed him. I've been trying for 15 minutes. Very frustrating, especially given this has been an issue since a Rift in Time launched. I also see the Trello board acknowledging an issue with Capybaras and Monkeys disappearing AFTER being fed. I have no idea if that's actually an issue since they teleport around and I'm never able to feed them to begin with.
unkempt flare
Also experiencing with the monkey's that are in the overlook. it's very frustrating. it keeps glitching out of the view.

Issue: Critters despawn - Monkeys at ruin and where Remys Resturant is by this "ruin" at the Island in Rift in Time.
While I try to reach them 3 times, the monkey is despawning and teleports in another corner. This goes on endlessly, the monkeys aren't catchable.

Platform: Pc/Steam
Issue: Red & Beige Monkey still teleporting and very frustrating to feed. It kept on glitching around, mainly in the stairs that go under textures same with Black & Gray Monkey glitching in textures and teleporting :/
torn scroll
Platform: PS4. Two things. The forgotten was sitting on that couch for a good 10 seconds as I walked past and stopped because her head was twitching like in the video. The twitching continued after she stood to greet me before I started the video recording. Also, Belle yesterday while I was fishing in the forest was running and running and her head was tilted to look at the sky and not where she was going the whole time. Didn’t manage to get a video of that.
blazing talon
Platform: Pc/Xbox game pass
Issue: Black & Gray monkey keeps disappearing, when it magically doesn't disappear, I'll chase it for a dozen or so times without it disappearing and it won't trigger the interact button.
tough dew
Platform: Xbox PC
Issue: Seems to be whatever monkey is in the upper level of the Ruins (Usually the black and gray monkey) they disappear into the corners whenever chasing them. Therefore, I can't catch them to feed them and can't unlock them. I don't know if it would help if we could remove those trees?
quaint rivet
Platform: PS5.
Critters: All.
Issue: Critters still not always dropping rewards when feeding them their favourite food. This has been an issue for a while now. I am aware that it's on your Trello board, but how long until this issue is fixed?
rocky zephyr
Platform: XBOX
Issue: Red & Beige Monkey keeps glitching in Overlooks inside walls, unable to "catch" to feed.
wise hill
Platform: PC
Issue: Monkeys on the upper level of the ruins glitch out at the corners and can't be caught and interacted with
charred river
Platform: Xbox
Issue: Critters not dropping rewards at all when fed favourite foods. This has just started today as the only other issue I've had with critters is the drop being delayed until you're out of sight. Even that isn't happening now. No gifts at all from critters on both Dreamlight Valley and Eternity Isle.
desert lantern
Platform: Switch
Issue: The Monkeys on both The Overlook Secret Beach, and The Ruins Balcony are virtually unapproachable. Both monkeys run away from you and eventually run into a corner somewhere that, when you approach them there, they disappear completely from the map and respawn causing you to have to start over with trying to approach and feed them. This has been the case in my game since DLC day one and I have tried many, many times to feed those 2 monkeys specifically and only ever got to feed 1 of them once.

Monkeys glitch out and can’t be fed. Endless cycle of chase and they glitch out and disappear right when it should be time to “approach”. It’s very frustrating.
tender arrow
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Issue: Critters disappearing/being stuck in confined spaces
Critter or Companion Name: black and brown monkey
Today (3/10/24) around 5pm this monkey is hanging out in the Courtyard, but in the little beach area off the tunnel where one finds the first time bending table. I’m trying to feed the monkey but it keeps glitching and disappearing so the chasing around always resets and I can’t approach it. I tried going to a different part in eternity isle to maybe get the monkey to leave the area, but it’s stuck there.

Black and gray monkey
copper trellis
Platform: Steam (PC)
Issue: Not sure if this is the right place to post this but, monkeys constantly disappear and go out of reach/ out of bounds. Also you can't sprint other wise they will continue to run and then poof. Makes it impossible to get them because it resets them. Especially the Brown and Red Monkey.
torn scroll
PS4: Elsa and Mirabel stood like this at the top of the ramp to the Plains the entire time I was on Eternity Isle. Mirabel shifted but otherwise didn’t move. Elsa was like a statue. Both were also immovable, I could not run into them to break them out of the glitched behavior.

Issue: Villager companions still occasionally refuse to move to let you past them. This has been a problem ever since the game launched. In this screenshot, I can't move Nala and I'm stuck at my house's exit and in my walking animation because of it. That combination has also been a problem all along.

Platform: Nintendo Switch
Issue: Monkeys disappear in the middle of chasing, making it impossible to feed them.
glacial ice
Platform: Switch
Issue: so, I noticed that when I go to feed the critters, they are gone an hour before the schedule is supposed to be done. I double checked to make sure my switch was synchronized correctly, but I don’t know. They are gone and the new critters that are supposed to take over that area don’t show up until their scheduled time. Anyone else have this issue? I restarted my switch to see if it was a problem with it not loading properly, I’m connected to wifi and everything. I can’t figure out what is going on.
stiff sun
Platform: PC Steam
I have fed every critter in Eternity Isle their favourite food more than twice (on different days) so I should have every critter available as a companion. However, the three critters that only have a six-hour appearance once a week: the Black & Gray Monkey, the Red & White Capybara and the Green & White Cobra, will not become my companions. I just fed the Black & Gray Monkey for the fourth week in a row - no luck. Please fix! Thank you.
