Why Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Puppy Love Update is Breaking Hearts

by

The recent Puppy Love update for Disney Dreamlight Valley promised romance, beloved characters, and lighthearted fun. However, many players are experiencing frustrating issues like broken quests and time-sensitive challenges they can’t complete due to bugs, making the update far from enjoyable.

The recent Valentine’s Day update for Disney Dreamlight Valley hasn’t been well-received by players. Instead of being a success, many are expressing frustration online because some content is difficult or impossible to access. This is especially concerning for a game where rewards are often earned over time, as it limits what players can achieve. Here’s a look at the issues causing problems for players in the Valley.

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Valentine’s Day Event Isn’t Triggering for Many Players

Between February 11th and February 25th, players can enjoy all the new content in the Disney Dreamlight Valley Puppy Love update. This includes the Valley Valentines Event, which starts by chatting with characters who have reached a certain friendship level or with established character pairs.

  • Jack Skellington and Sally
  • Merlin
  • Remy
  • Anna and Kristoff
  • Belle and Beast
  • Scrooge McDuck

The event is supposed to work like this: you log in, receive a special task based on the current season, and then get unique rewards. However, it’s not starting up at all.

What Disney Dreamlight Valley Players are Reporting

The issue with the DDV event isn’t just a problem with progressing through it. Many players who have unlocked and leveled all characters are still unable to start the event. Some are finding the quest is locked, or are being told they need to play more to unlock it. While frustrating on its own, this is significantly limiting what players can achieve during the event because:

  • The event is time-sensitive
  • Some quests are daily
  • Rewards are exclusive to this Valentine’s-themed event.

Several players have reached out to Gameloft support about the event. They say it should begin after the daily game reset that happens after the February 11th update – usually around 5 a.m. local time on February 12th.

This Star Path is Bigger Than Usual, And That’s Adding Pressure On Affected Disney Dreamlight Valley Players

The latest update to Disney Dreamlight Valley, called Puppy Love, includes a new Star Path. Typically, these Star Paths have around 70-90 tasks, but this one, called Paw-fect, has a whopping 115! For dedicated players, that’s a great reason to play every day. However, players who can’t access the event are feeling left out, and it’s frustrating when something like this is beyond their control, especially since the game is already packed with content and this broken event is making things even worse.

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, a Star Path is similar to a seasonal battle pass in other games. Players finish tasks to get special event currency, which they can use to unlock themed items and outfits – some are free, and others are available through a paid track.

Puppy Love Is a Highly Anticipated Holiday Update for Disney Dreamlight Valley Players

Both veteran and new players are disappointed by this issue, as the Puppy Love update included highly desired items and features. The recent February 11 update to Dreamlight Valley adds a new Lady and the Tramp Realm, allowing players to:

  • Recreate the iconic spaghetti dinner behind Tony’s Restaurant
  • Help Lady and Tramp deal with dogcatchers
  • Navigate a mysterious spaghetti storm
  • Welcome Lady and Tramp as new characters in the Valley

After completing the challenging “spaghetti storms” quest, players can unlock Lady and Tramp and their charming Edwardian-style home. This update also introduces fun quests centered around their friendship, along with special themed rewards. Plus, there’s a new flower puppy companion, fresh outfits for Mickey and Minnie, and ongoing mini-events to keep things exciting throughout the late winter months.

The problem with the Valentine’s quest isn’t just a small glitch—it’s a major issue because this event is the heart of the update. When it doesn’t start correctly, it throws off the whole feel of the holiday in the game. Players are currently waiting for a solution, hoping they won’t miss out on all the special rewards during the Puppy Love season.
