[somber lantern]

Still zooming in on items....

[limpid holly]

Platform: ps5
Issue: the "pink light" appear to be off and doesn’t light up the back of the room, but when I move the light, I can see it casts a large shadow. That wasn’t there before …

[void python]

Platform: PC-Steam

[vernal holly]

Platform: Switch

My small world pillars are horribly pixelated now, and the dapper striped blazer keeps doing whatever this is

[honest birch]

Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: Game is laggy/jittery when playing in Storybook vale. Not an issue in the main valley or Eternity Isle, and even on lower graphics settings it's still just as bad.
Screenshot/video: Screenshot doesn't show the issue. I don't know how to take a video of the game.

[ember timber]

Platform: Switch
Issue: Agrabah Palace Bench is low graphic quality. Can’t see the details on the pillows. Top image is Switch. Bottom image is from the Dreamlight wiki page to show how it should look.
Screenshot/Video:

[visual merlin]

X Series X
Frame Stutter. When gliding. When rotating the camera horizontally. Could be an item issue: (568/600 & 2633/3000). alternatively could be that I’ve only banned Mother Gothel, yet she remains due to an active quest.

Optimization is needed. Either via a suggested slider that max/min decor for device. Along with a max/min character availability for device. Similar to the “stay home or older sleep schedule”.

If 17 character (homes and roaming) in the Valley is too many. Causing poor performance, then that should somehow be conveyed to players.

[quaint thicket]

Platform: PS5

[elfin tiger]

The Duties screen for the Star Path say to "Give a gift to the owner of Tiana's Palace." It does not specify Favorite, but it should as not just any gift works.

[void python]

[dapper kraken]

It's on the switch too!

[brazen spindle]

Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: Cloud cottage parts appearing both inside player house and in random places in valley, even after removing skin from player house. Exiting game and verifying game files seems to fix this for now.

[dense mantle]

Platform: PC, Steam.
Issue: I've been waiting for the life orb to finish cooking--growing, I mean--but as soon as it did, and as soon as I got out of the cutscene, my screen started flashing black pixels all over everything. No matter where I went or what I did, the black pixels kept flashing. Screenshots are single snapshots to it looks like they are just flat, black pixels, but during the live game the black pixels will rapidly appear and flash in different places, making it look as though they would create themselves somewhere new in every single frame that was generated.

It hard crashed my game when I tried to quit, and I'm going to either have to restart my computer or summon my task manager to snipe it.

[jolly wedge]

The wallpaper "Rustic Tavern with Stone Baseboard" has a pillar being cut in half by the main entrance. An option to move the entrance could easily solve this without any redesigning.
Same with the wallpaper "Sculpted Ceiling and Stony Baseboard".

[lusty vortex]

Platform: Nintendo Switch
Issue: The Forgotten's treehouse still has Night Thorns surrounding it, even after the story arc that involved it was completed. Before more recent updates, they disappeared after the questline was finished.

[somber lantern]

Its was a visual glitch on the Switch. The thorns are supposed to be there. The thorns still showed after the quest on all other platforms. On Switch if you were standing far away they would show up, but if you got too close they disappeared. It was a Switch issue. They are supposed to show.

[short cairn]

[fleet jay]

Platform: PC/gamepads
Issue; the checkerboard?

I remember at the start of the game the checkerboard was a normal colour but for quite some time it's been nausea pink... Was that an intentional change to make it nasty coloured? And if it was, can I please have the option to sell it back to Scrooge and never have to see it in my inventory again?!

[glossy wind]

Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: My face is missing in the photo I took, but came back after I adjusted angles. Unsure if its a visual issue or just happened to be an angle thing.

[native thorn]

Platform: PC/Steam
Issue: Used the Holiday Stand to summon villagers on Plaza Floating Island. Got an Ariel mermaid half in the dirt.

[elfin tiger]

Platform: PC/Steam

[crisp quartz]

Platform: PC (Steam)
Issue: Tale Cone Flowers in the Bind of Storybook Vale barely show signs of that they are withered and can be watered. Which makes it confusing when you can't pick them up.

[green eagle]

Platform: Steam, PC (Laptop)
Issue: ... What happened... to the sky? (This is during a thunder storm) (Please ignore the mask, I know, I look fabulous, I was just inside prepping my Dreamsnaps outfit...)
Screenshot/Video: It's like the Forgetting all over again!

[rose pawn]

I'm not sure if this is specific to vitalys lamps, but they are creating these lines on the pathing while I'm trying to create my dreamsnap. Super frustrating, and is happening on other types of pathing too. I restarted my game and still can't get rid of it.

[stark scarab]

Issue: Both “The Tufted Green Sofa” and “Tufted Sofa” have the exactly the same appearance despite being separate furniture items. Also is the case for both the “Tufted Green Chair” and the “Elegant Armchair”. I assume one pair of chair and sofa is supposed to be red like in Tiana’s house?

I just got the Victorian Manor from the premium shop but I did have it under a saved bundle just in case that helps this get fixed. I was running around my valley just after buying it and it's in the steps but I never placed it and I can walk through it as of right now. I'm also still having invisible walls in my valley that I randomly run into pretty often
EDIT: I walked into my scrooges store and the house is physically placed in the store🤦🏻‍♀️I never placed it, only bought it, but can go in and can't move through it at all and it's over my Scrooge items😭😭

[rocky spoke]

Platform:Switch
Issues: Another decent outfit looking like a blurry mess. Some of the flowers on my outfit is just a
mess. It looks like an old paint rag. Just like my green blazer in the Lucky You event all the gold detailing was blurry and a mess! Such a disappointment

[lone roost]

Platform: xbox series x/s
Issue: the table in the toy story realm is invisible

[warm mica]

platform: PC Steam
Issue: trying to fast travel (or even walk) to the realm of beauty and the beast makes the game freeze on black screen and crash (i think it's a visual thing, which is why im putting it on here and i can't post a picture as it would just be a black screen)

[elfin tiger]

Platform: PC/Steam

[chrome adder]

Platform: PC (Through Xbox App)
Issue: "Honey Wand" from premium shop is upside down? In the premium shop (on main shop page) the honey looks correct but when you click on it and it takes you to the "buy" page it looks upside down with the honey on the underside of wand dripping upward. ALSO, upon purchasing it.. it shows upside down in my inventory image and looks upside down on my character when I wear it.

EDIT: Long story short, I don't think honey is supposed to drip upward. Unless it is at the fountain of youth in the Pirates Of The Carribbean. 😆

[quaint thicket]

Platform: Ps5
Issue: There is still an issue with the draw distance on items. Flowers and patches of grass just pop-up the closer I get to them. Where that wasn't a issue before we got any of the DLC.

The PS5 is a very powerful system. It used to run perfectly before the DLC got introduced. I wish we can go back to how things used to be.

[sinful gorge]

Platform: Switch
After upgrading the main room on the 2nd floor of my house to 12x12 size, items sometimes become pixilated - most noticeable on wallpaper and flooring. But when I walk into a normal sized room (my 8x8 side room), those items are also pixilated even tho the walls and floors haven't expanded. Some of the windows are also affected. Seems hit or miss when the image quality goes down but this didn't happen until I expanded the main room beyond 10x10.

[wispy flower]
