How to fix Disney Dreamlight Valley crashing issues on Switch

Since the game’s debut, Nintendo Switch gamers have had the most trouble with the crashing problem. However, it would be incorrect to claim that Xbox and PC gamers have no problems at all.

Below are some fixes that players on Switch can try. Hopefully, they will get this bug fixed.

Update the Game

Most of the time, the game crashes due to being outdated. It is essential to keep your game updated at all times. This way, you will be able to keep up with the changes introduced in the game, and your game might not crash. To update the game, just follow the steps.

  • You should turn on the automatic updates for the game.
  • If automatic updates are not on, connect your device to the internet and launch the game from the home menu. Follow the instructions that come on your screen to complete the update.
  • You can also update the game by selecting the game and pressing either + or -, then going to the options page and selecting software update.

All these steps will keep your game updated and away from errors.

Update Nintendo Switch

Sometimes the bug is due to the reason that your switch is not updated. For that you can follow the given steps :

  • From Home Screen, Go to the system setting.
  • Go to System Update.
  • Install any available updates.

Clear user cache

Dream Valley can also be stuck on your switch if there is some issue with any cache files. For this, you should clear the cache. Follow the given steps :

  • Open System settings
  • Select System
  • Click on Formatting Options
  • Select Clear cache

Restart Switch

If none of the above works, then you should quit the game, restart your Switch, and launch the game again.

Remove Saved Data

It is essential to back up your data before you clean your saved data. Cleaning data can solve the game crashing issues in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
