You can find the list of all Disney Dreamlight Valley known issues, bugs and glitches that have been acknowledged by the developers at Gameloft. Set in the world of Disney and Pixar heroes and villains, Dreamlight Valley is a new life-sim adventure game where you explore the world, discover rich stories and build the perfect neighborhood. In case you missed it, we have a very comprehensive DVV Cooking and recipes guide!
As we know the game has just launched in Early Access, that means you can expect a fair amount of bugs in the game. But this is the entire purpose of it, that developers can iron out all the quirks before the big launch of Disney Dreamlight Valley (DVV) on all supported platforms. It is available right now on the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. There is a Mac version in development, which will launch at a later date.
Update 1 (Scar’s Kingdom Update): This free content update for Disney Dreamlight Valley is all about bug fixes, optimizations and overall improvements to the game along with some new game content. Read the full Scar’s Kingdom Update patch notes here.
All Disney Dreamlight Valley Known Issues and Bugs

The current list we’ve concocted so far is a culmination of user reports alongside an official list as well. This list has been updated as of September 12, 2022. If you are going through an issue other than these, please let us know in the comment and we’ll surely add them!
Here’s a list of all the current bugs and issues currently present in Disney Dreamlight Valley:
Steam Deck issue; is Disney Dreamlight Valley playable on Steam Deck?
Steam Deck is not officially supported, so stay tuned.
While you may technically be able to play Disney Dreamlight Valley on Steam Deck, this platform is not officially supported yet. You might encounter issues that will be solved in later updates.
I am in Australia or New Zealand and get “Error #7” on game launch.
There is a fix coming soon!
Some players situated in New Zealand and in some states of Australia may experience a game stuck on loading if they quit the game while having the “Well Fed” active buff. This buff appears when you eat a lot of cooked meals and you get the “Golden energy bar” on top of your normal energy bar.
This bug will be fixed in upcoming update.
Online Desynchronization issue
This will be fixed soon.
Due to some temporary online issues at launch, profiles desynching between game and platforms may occur. Few players may encounter weird behavior (for Founder Pack and Star Path) and be under the impression that:
– They cannot claim a Founder’s Pack.
– They received an additional Founder’s Pack.
– They do not have the right amount of Moonstones displayed in the Star Path menu.
– The Star Path menu behaves oddly (ie. Something does not unlock).All these problems are visual temporary problems and not “real back end problems” caused by the game being synched with another temporary account. They can usually be resolved by rebooting of the game (fully closing the game and launching it from the console/pc launcher).
There are not enough Dream shards in the Valley for me to finish a quest.
Not enough Dream shards, eh?
Players can gather Dream shards from:
– Removing Night Thorn (10 new Night thorns appear every day)
– Feeding small critters their favorite things (Warning: you can feed a critter only once a day)Despite this, some player may be unlucky and feel they do not collect Dreamshard quickly enough. We are working on this. Dream shards drop rates will be increased in an upcoming update. In the meantime, a little gift of 40 Dream shards were sent to everybody in your mailbox. We advise keeping them cautiously for requests! 🙂
PlayStation users cannot port their Avatar via Avatar Code.
PlayStation users will be able to port avatar at a later date.
While PlayStation users cannot currently use their Avatar Code, they will be able to port their avatar at a later date. Even if you create your avatar now and import your avatar later, you will be able to import your outfit/touch of magic creation. At this stage, you will also receive the unique Jersey that comes with Avatar importation.

Clothing clipping with other clothing.
You may run into some issues with clothing clipping through others (most notably skirts with pants or shorts worn underneath). This is a minor cosmetic issue that has no effect on gameplay. Throughout early access we will continue to refine the game to address any issues such as this as they appear, while still offering our fans and Disney Dreamlight Valley players a wide-reaching list of fun customizable items for their avatars as we continuously better the game through player feedback.
Memory shard stuck in Merlin’s Home/Cave
We are aware of an issues that causes the Memory Shard in Merlin’s home (Peaceful Meadow) to get stuck in the wall, as well as another in the Cave system. We are looking for a resolution for this asap.
Cloud Save issues
There are some Cloud Save issues going on.
At this time, due to many players moving to Disney Dreamlight Valley at once, players may need to retry several times to create a Cloud Save account. We realize this isn’t ideal, and are working our magic behind the scenes to make this process smoother as soon as possible! We ask for your patience in the meanwhile, and will update when we have more details to share.
Cannot change clothing
Valid bug!
While we don’t have a fix for this immediately, a work-around is to jump into your Wardrobe and switch each item for all/most clothing slots (ie. head, neckwear, pants…) something else in your Wardrobe.
This bug will be properly addressed in an upcoming hotfix! A huge thank you to all that reported this.
Crashes on Nintendo Switch
Expect an update for Switch very soon.
Our team is working to improve stability as a top priority, and you can expect updates to be pushed over the next few days.
Switch – Claiming Blue Chests
Users cannot claim all Blue Chests. We are working to fix certain issues with online connectivity. The current workaround for this issue is rebooting the game. When you reboot you will NOT lose access to the chest, it will be in the same location it used to be.
Steam Deck issue; is Disney Dreamlight Valley playable on Steam Deck?
A workaround for the Steam Deck issue:
While you may technically be able to play Disney Dreamlight Valley on Steam Deck, this platform is not officially supported yet. You might encounter issues that will be solved in later updates.
At this time, we recommend that Steam Deck users do the following:
– Right click the game in your Steam Library
– Select Properties
– Select Compatibility
– Choose Enable
– Select “Proton Experimental”
