I know I've submitted details of a few things that occurred during my gameplay. The following below are some of the issues I reported:
I would also like to note a few things they highlighted in the patched notes. If you are playing on multiple devices with cross-save: Make sure that all platforms you play on have been updated before switching devices to prevent any further issues.
- After unlocking the area, I was unable to gather dream shards from thorns and had to wait two days to complete mission.
- A bug occurred where my crops were no longer growing and some I was unable to gather even though it was visibly there.
- My dumb behind placed Maui house out into the water and was unable to complete construction. (Could not relocate the house)
- Game would crash in the map menu when using teleport and other functions. (see clip below)
What's most appreciated from the Devs is that they are taking players feedback graciously and seriously. All of this let's us know that they really care about the Disney Dreamlight project and wants to make sure that the player experience is solid before its full release.

Final Thoughts:
A huge thank you to the Devs! I've personally have put in over 40 hours of playtime since its Early Access release on my Switch, PlayStation, and PC. Some future request that I have already submitted that I would love to see is the option for cloud save on PlayStation. I was a tad bit disappointing to learn that I would not be able to enjoy one playthrough on all my consoles. However, I really look forward to what will come in later expansions and updates for Dreamlight Valley.
