Disney Dreamlight Valley Gets Its First Update : All the Details

Disney Dreamlight Valley  has been available for a few days in  three paid editions  on different platforms including the Nintendo Switch . It is, a priori, a new way of doing things: the game will be available for free in 2023 but for all those who cannot wait, early access allows you to play it now . In summary, you are paying to play a game that is not quite finished and when it is, will be free. Well, to be honest, the game will never really be finished since it is akin to a  live service game, i.e. it is intended to constantly receive additional content (like Fortnite, for example.) If you are a fan of the Disney universe, and you are one of the first buyers of the game, know that it has just received its first big update which brings a lot of corrections. Find all the details below.

As a reminder, paid editions of Disney Dreamlight Valley  are available from  September 6, 2022 . The "free" edition will be available in  2023.

Details of the first patch of Disney Dreamlight Valley  - September 15, 2022

Happy Valley Villagers Patch Day! 

We are barely a week after the launch of Early Access, and we are happy to share with you the first patch for Disney Dreamlight Valley . We've listened carefully to your feedback shared via social media, Discord, and via Customer Service, and we've addressed many known issues in this patch. Although the patch is being released to all players (please ensure you are connected to the internet to receive it), it may take up to 2 hours to receive it on your device. We recommend that you check back from time to time if you don't see it available yet. 

For those who play on multiple devices with cross-save: make sure all platforms you play on have been updated before switching devices to avoid any further issues. 

Please see the detailed list below of what to expect from today's patch: 

Balance:  

Spawn rates and loot tables adjusted for glowing buried items:  

- Increased respawn timer range.  

- Reduced the minimum and maximum number of glowing buried objects to spawn at any given time per biome.  

- Added Dream Shards to the reward loot table.  

- Each Sparkling Buried Object has a chance to generate 1-2 Night Shards or 1-2 Dream Shards.  

Adjusted loot tables for feeding creatures:  

- Removed flowers from loot tables.  

- Added dream shards to loot tables when feeding mobs something they "like". Previously, dream shards could only be obtained by feeding creatures something they "like".  

Adjusted loot tables to eliminate Night Thorns:  

- Reduced the chance of coal dropping.  

- Increased Dream Shard drop chance.  

Bug fixes  :  

General:

- Fixed an issue causing some users to get out of sync from their profile due to connection latency.  

- Improved online reconnection while playing.  

- Improved Founder's Pack rewards claiming accuracy, granting missing rewards. We will continue to monitor this issue and explore further bug fixes as needed. If you encountered this bug: completely close the game and restart it while connected to the internet, then check your inbox for a new message containing your missing items. 

User interface and experience:  

- Increased text font size on Switch.  

- Increased menu loading speed.  

Stability:  

- Reduced the frequency of crashes on Switch. Further optimization will come in future updates.  

Quest:  

- Fixed an issue with quest items not appearing in Scrooge McDuck's store. If you encountered this bug: The item will not appear in Scrooge McDuck's store, but will appear in a random, unlocked location outside of the village as a save. If you have trouble finding the item, please do not hesitate to contact customer service. 

- Fixed an issue with WALL·E's "Shy Little Robot" quest involving a fire extinguisher not working properly. If you encountered this bug: You can find a fire extinguisher waiting for you in the Scrooge McDuck store. 

- Fixed an issue with a quest item from Donald Duck's "A House Fit for a Duck" quest spawning in an inaccessible part of his house. 

- Fixed an issue with the "Grand Reopening of Scrooge McDuck" quest from Scrooge McDuck in which flowerpot crafting was not working properly. If you've encountered this bug: You can find additional flower pots just outside the Scrooge McDuck store. Delete them using furniture edit mode to create with them.  

- Fixed an issue where quest items were stuck at the bottom of the mystical cave on the beach.  

- Fixed an issue where Goofy's "Fishing Expedition" quest would not work properly if the player's inventory was full.  

- Fixed an issue where a Memory Fragment appeared in an inaccessible part of Merlin's Dreamlight Library.

Customization (House, Valley, Avatar)  :  

- Fixed an issue where chests placed in the player's house could disappear when adding new rooms. If you encountered this bug: add a new crafting chest to your house. Your items that disappeared will reappear here.  

- Fixed an issue where players who imported clothes from the avatar creation tool could not change clothes or the clothes would appear invisible.  

- Fixed an issue where some Star Path rewards could be acquired in areas of the game they weren't intended for.
