Disney Dreamlight Valley’s latest update improves Xbox performance, fixes bugs
A new toggle has also been added to remove flashing and shaking effects
Disney Dreamlight Valley has received a new patch which improves performance on Xbox, fixes some bugs and adds some new accessibility options.
As well as “improved performance and stability on Xbox“, the new update adds menu toggles for players who struggle with the flashing and screen-shaking effects that take place during certain actions.
If the wobbling and flashing affects players during a storm or while fishing, mining or digging, they can now turn these effects off.
The exhaustion effect that was added in the recent Scar update has also been removed entirely, while the somewhat confusing description in the Extra Fizzy Root Beer quest has been clarified.
A number of other bug fixes have been implemented to the game, which is still in an Early Access state until it goes free-to-play some time in 2023.
The full patch notes are as follows:
