pine arch
molten mural
Platform: Xbox Series X
Issue: still having the issue with various NPCs ehere when I go to talk to them nothing appears, no speech bubble, options, nothing and it just freezes like that. I have to close the game each time.
outer forge
Platform: PS5
Issue: Timon doesn’t hold his selfie pose
tender cloak
Platform: PS4
Issue: The companions to hang out with are lagging while following me. If I sprint they take several minutes to follow me while lagging every few seconds (I tried Jafar and Gaston). Once they close up, they keep a distance from quite a few meters to me, so I can't really see if their friendship is going up. I don't know if the last issue is intended, but I don't like it.
vestal cliff
Platform: PC Issue: can no longer hang out with Tiana, there is no option
light frigate
platform: ps5
issue: completed pumbaa’s level 2 quest and received mail detailing the events of all 4 of his quests
lone dawn
platform: Steam
Issue: "Drawings?" quest shows up when I chat with Timon, but this quest isn't tracked on my Quests menu, and when I take photos of the drawings I think it's referring to, nothing happens. I think this is likely a questline he'll start when I get him to a higher friendship level, but it's here now.
Also! When I finished the first friendship quest for Pumbaa, I got mail that's referring to quests that I think are going to come later. I certainly have no context about these (can't add a second attachment for screenshot, and I don't want to wait the hour cooldown to report this second issue.)

west locust
Platform PS4. Pumbaa has a huge hitbox and got stuck behind a trellis arch while following me. He went through it but couldn't go through the other way to get out. I had to fast travel to reset him. He also lagged behind me so badly I had to keep talking to me to check that we were still hanging out.
soft sequoia
Platform: Microsoft Store PC
Issue: The NPCs struggle to follow when hamging out. When fast traveling, the NCP generates far away and struggles to make it to me. While mining with Tiana, she's getting stuck at mine nodes for so long that the buddy extras just end up dropped near me and have to be picked up. I've also experienced random instances of not being able to hang out. Happened with Jafar and now with Mushu.
solid sorrel
Platform: nintendo switch
Issue: no option to hang out with Tiana
outer gull
Platform: PC
Issue: The Forgotten's head was glitching by shaking back and forth very quickly without stopping. I tried to take a screenshot, but it didn't properly capture what was happening.
dreamy orbit
Nintendo Switch. Pumbaa is unmovable when he follows you and gets stuck places.
west locust
Platform PS4: found Mickey and Minnie being statues in the glittering dunes. I couldn’t budge them by running into them. Did not try talking to them, I was in a hurry.
wooden breach
Platform: Switch
Issue: Unable to give gifts to Remy, get this screen every time I try
versed slate
Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: Beast and Pumbaa are both standing at this table meaning my character can't walk through, I was able to push past them to get to sully's table (bottom left) but now I can't get back out.
hollow quail

The head of the Forgotten continually twitches. Looks like he is nodding rapidly.

Platform: PS4
Characters aren’t following properly when hanging out, they stay at a distance and only move closer when you walk back toward them
vivid saffron
I had ursula in the ratatouille realm, don't think it's normal.
remote bone
Platform: Xbox PC
Issue: Timon won't accept his order in Tiana's restaurant
mighty hull
Platform: PC Steam
Issue: Timon is completely and utterly broken. He won't accept his restaurant order nor will he continue with his level 2 quest past the 15 min waiting
covert valve
Platform: PC
Issue: Timon and Pumbaa entire existence seems bugged. The quest to go and find them isn't highlighted anyway, as soon as you bring them to the valley their quests show up before they're even unlocked, Pumbaa won't bring you to his pottery show and will get stuck not being hypnotized by Jafar who endlessly tries or gets him into a neverending laugh animation, timon won't always hold his photo pose, I receive mail about stuff I never even did, just, everything about them seems not to work as it should.
autumn osprey
Ps4:
Characters are lagging behind A LOT when hanging out and doing tasks. They get stuck in a gathering spot. Pushing them seems to help disburse the items and they can move on.
gleaming horizon
xBox
followers are getting stuck/ not following properly.
vivid summit
Platform: PC, steam
Issue: characters lag behind when hanging out with them and get stuck when gathering items
prisma moat
Platform: PS5
Issue: Hiding the Forgotten via the map does not work. She shows an active quest even though I have completed the forgotten storyline entirely. She continues to be in my valley even when I try to hide her. This is happening to all players and has been persisting since the hide function was introduced to the game. This needs to be fixed
hollow quail
PC (Epic)
Timon's location at The Oasis, and the view when he levelled up does not even have him in it.
muted void
Platform: Switch
Timon's Old Enemies quest won't complete. I talk to him & the quest status doesn't update. Also when he is in Remys and I serve his order, it's doesn't go to him. I've repeatedly tried both.
Oswald also will not accept his order in Remys
remote bone
Platform: Xbox PC
Issue: Was trying to leave my kitchen but couldn't because Maui was in the way and my character got stuck walking in place. Couldn't access the menu or anything so I had to force close the game.
last compass
Platform: Steam / PC
Issue: After looking at Ursula's dream bundle, the Vanessa character loads into every area of the game, including the Scramblecoin area and character realms. She can be nudged around but not interacted with.
odd seal
Platform: Switch
Issue (Include NPC Name): Unable to chat with Mickey, there is no option even though his other options are there.
lament marsh
Platform: Xbox
When I go to chat with Mushu it completely freezes my game and I have to restart.
Also The Forgotten's head is totally glitching out like she's rapidly head banging.
jade garnet
platform: ps4
issue: the npcs don’t follow me like they are supposed to when hanging out (like mulan in the picture) they won’t come closer to me then that
hearty quail
Platform: PC
Issue: When mining with Timon, he gets stuck and takes ages to give the extra gems. He even got me stuck against a wall, had to cancel the mining help, wait he moves to get unstuck.
timber rock
Platform: Switch
Issue: There's a few things. One, whenever I buy or sell something to Goofy at his stalls, my head will glitch a little when it moves. I don't know if it has anything to do with me wearing a hat or different head accessories but I don't recall ever doing that.
Second, a few NPCs will "float" or "glide" across the biome whenever they are expressing themselves. I honestly have no idea what prompted it. And it only happens when I'm in the biome but at least it doesn't happen every time.
Thirdly, there's a weird glitch with Mickey and Minnie. With Mickey, he froze for a few seconds with one of his happy stances when I was having a daily discussion, but this only happened recently. Not before. Minnie on the other hand, her head has glitched to a strange head tilt that doesn't look "natural" whenever I walked pass her or talked to her and it's a little unnerving. I honestly don't know why that is effecting her like that.
There was one time when I was mining in the mine in Sunlit Plateau with Kristoff and he blocked me in one of the openings, but when I said we can hang out at a later time, it prompted him to start leaving the mine and I got free.
tribal blade
Pc/Steam
Issue 1: I dont know if this is Jafar or Anna but someone is having their fishing rod out in Tianas restaurant
Issue 2: Hiding npcs from the map still doesnt work
proven lotus
Platform: Nintendo switch, all NPC. The characters seem to not want to follow when hanging out they just stay in one place unless I use the wells to travel.
silk barn
Platform:switch
Issue:my villagers don’t follow me when I ask them to I have to run up to them and push them round to follow and even to get what they drop
glossy ember
Platform: ps5
Issue: when hanging out with someone, they bug out and don’t drop things they’ve picked up as extras. You can see them pick up something but they don’t throw it sometimes takes a few tries, others they just never throw anything back out. Sometimes they’re just fine and throw it out immediately. It’s not an issue of they just aren’t picking something up, because you can literally see them do it, they just sometimes don’t drop the item.
dry surge
Platform: PC (Steam)
Issue: Sometimes characters randomly become unmovable/unpushable. In this instance, Sulley was blocking the way out of the mines and I had to reload my game to get out.
west locust
PS4: forgotten wigging out at the end of a timon quest.
patent willow
Platform: PS5
Daisy's daily challenge requires the furniture item DoorWithWall but that can't be placed in Daisy's shop.

subtle crow
Platform: PC
Issue: Ursula has chronic shock syndrome. Her face seems to be stuck in this expression (it's kinda funny) and it mixes with other expressions
summer cypress
platform: ps4
Issue: when hanging out with NPC, they lag behind and are quite far away. They get stuck when giving bonus items eg. mining, I have to move to the next node to be able to get them to drop their bonus items and also become unstuck. Quite often they will launch the items from afar lol.
native sedge
Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: Kristoff asks for trash at Chez Remy (I don't know if it happens with other characters too since it's the first time happening)

Same with me. I have to keep going back to make sure Pumbaa is still following me
Platform: Nintendo Switch
latent spire
Platform: switch Issue: characters are lagging when hanging out
west locust
PS4: Alongside the companion lagging behind issue, I had trouble today with my timebending companion lagging behind so far and then not picking up the extras until I was onto the 2nd or 3rd one after the one they were picking up that I had extras scattered all over the map. When I did wait for them, they would go to the timebending spot and just stand there until I bumped them to jog the pick up animation.
distant jolt
Platform: Switch
Issue: Picking up falling items doesn’t quickly work anymore. You can even walk over them again before getting them. Must be a lag issue.
west locust
PS4: mulan’s legs are still clipping through the back of her default dress.
shadow onyx
Platform: Steam / PC
Issue: Timone clipping through the wall in remy's
potent temple
Platform: PC-Steam
Issue : I try to use the cancel option of characters in the map menu to take a picture with some specific characters. But the option seem have some problem. Even when I cancel them in the map of the basic game, they appear and disappear randomly in the map and in my picture. I try to reload the map after make a selection of characters; I enter in a house and leave. The characters i didn't want around me reappear slowly in the map and in the collective picture in the rock concert stage; they photobombing like it doesn't have a tomorrow. it would be cool when we cancel a character in the map, he stay in his house. This problem affect all the characters in the basic game and the DLC.
raw bane
Platform: PC-Steam
Issue: Mulan does not show on her stall, but I can see her shadow moving when buying tea from her
rich vigil
Platform: Switch
Issue: As several have reported above, characters that I am hanging out with seem to lag well behind me now. They never catch up and I can only stand next to them by moving back towards them.
sonic kestrel
Platform: Steam, PC
Issue: I only have Pumbaa up to level 3 friendship, but by finishing his first friendship quest I have unlocked all the mailbox notes for future ones. They confused me, but seeing as I am actively now doing a pottery lesson, I realized this was some kind of bug. Timon seems to be fine. I only had one of his notes in my mailbox whereas I had 4/5 from Pumbaa at once.
remote bone
Platform: Xbox PC
Issue(s): 1. Gaston appears sideways in the background when I talk to another character.
2. Characters still fish backwards, such as Merlin in the background
3. Elsa's dress has cuts throughout it from a distance
unborn parrot
Platform: Xbox series X
Issue: Ariel is crashing my game upon chatting with her. So far she is the only who triggers this constantly. I have to hard reset my game if I chat with her. (In the SS below I am frozen because the ui for gifting, chatting, ect hasn’t popped up)
sullen flicker
platform: steam issue: invisible companions, that little bubble of sparkles next to me is vanellope lol, she was invisible before i started hanging out with her and i was able to talk to her (once i found her 
) going in and out of a house did not fix the issue, i have not tried restarting to see if that fixed it
timber coral
Platform: switch
Issue: timon and pumbaa do not follow you when u ask them to hang out. When i go into a building theyre there but otherwise they just wander off and do their own thing. Dont have this issue with anyone else i buddy with

Issue: Vanellope is walking around invisible.
hearty quail
dusty sky
Issue (Include NPC Name): All NPC's. characters not or having a delayed span of time before they follow after moving which also increases time from action to reward e.g extra gems whilst mining with mining villagers ```
past onyx
Platform: XBOX Series X
Hanging out with Daisy to level her up via time bending and she is lagging behind. Also tried with other characters that are set to time bending and it’s the same for all.
potent temple
Platform: PC-Steam
Issue : The forgotten have some problem with her head. Often it's happen when she is near of the night thorns, but not all the time.
manic rune
Xbox:
issue: I’m at Remy’s on eternity isle and Vanellope is invisible
dull hatch
Platform: PS5
Issue: In the Ratatouille realm, after Remy leaves the realm, Remy still appears while cooking. (This shouldn't happen for storyline reasons.)
potent temple
Platform: PC-Steam

flat kite
platform: pc
issue: jack skellington holds fishing rod in remys
left river
Platform: PC/Steam deck
Issue: Twice today, I had Mulan as my gardening buddy and was harvesting. Jafar came over and engaged her in his fake hypnosis shtick. She got completely stuck (screenshot of me clipping through her). Fast travel would bring her with me, but stuck in this pose. Still able to engage her in conversation. Had to close/relaunch the game to get her to start working again and to drop her bonus crops. (Had it happen earlier with Jack as a gardening buddy but he recovered on his own.)
minor wraith
Platform: Xbox X
Issue: NPCs won't follow me when I "hang out". They move a couple steps then glitch out and stop moving. This, I'm assuming, is also causing an incredibly long delay in them giving extras from their companion skill, then it'll seem to load and they'll release a bunch of extras then glitch out again. Quitting the game and logging back on doesn't fix the issue. Been happening at least the last couple days that I've noticed (hadn't played for a few days but didn't have this issue last week, only the last couple days)
In this screenshot Timon is who is supposed to be hanging out and he's super far behind me and not moving at all closer after initially moving a few steps.
tropic gale
Platform: steam PC
Issue: still have various NPCs who i have follow me but then they just decide randomly to stop when I fast travel instead of staying with me
hollow quail
PC (Epic)
I'm seeing Mulan occasionally have an "angry" emote. Not having an interaction with her, she's not having an interaction with anyone. Sometimes she's just facing no one and doing the emote.
Not clear if this is intended.
bleak yacht
Platform: switch
Issue: the forgotten head bobbing like crazy when talking to other npc
