Disney Dreamlight Valley Version 1.0.5 patch now available

It has been a little over a week since the Early Access launch of Disney Dreamlight Valley. Over 1 million Villagers have entered Dreamlight Valley to uncover the mystery of the Forgetting as well as live alongside various Disney and Pixar characters. While a performance patch was released last week, a bigger patch tackling balance issues, out-of-bound items, and more is now available.

The following patch notes for Version 1.0.5 have been posted on the official Disney Dreamlight Valley site as well as on the game’s official Discord channel:

 

Balance:

Adjusted spawn rates and loot tables for sparkling buried items:

• Increased respawn timer range.
• Reduced minimum and maximum number of sparkling buried items to spawn at a given time per biome.
• Added Dream Shards to the reward loot table.
• Each sparkling buried item has a chance to spawn either 1-2 Night Shards or 1-2 Dream Shards.

 

Adjusted loot tables for feeding critters:

• Removed Flowers from loot tables.
• Added Dream Shards to the loot tables when feeding critters something they “like”. Previously, it was only possible to get Dream Shards from feeding critters something they “love.”

 

Adjusted loot tables for clearing Night Thorns:

• Reduced chance of Coal dropping.
• Increased chance of Dream Shards dropping.

 

Bugfixes:

• Fixed issue causing some users to be desynchronized from their profile due to connection latency.
• Improved online reconnection while playing.

Quest:

If you struggle to find the item, feel free to contact Customer Care.
