Major Changes in Disney Dreamlight Valley October 31 hotfix

While this update is primarily for smaller bug fixes, there are a few major changes to Disney Dreamlight Valley that will make your experience with the game a little smoother and easier.

The main element is that Gameloft has removed the exhaustion effect after many players complained about its design and implementation.

The next big change is in the way quest objectives are described. Gameloft has aimed to make it easier to understand what is required of you in certain quests, especially the quest involving Root Beer and Extra Fizzy Root Beer.

Lastly, the next major change implemented into Disney Dreamlight Valley is a setting to allow players to toggle their in-game flash effects and in-game screen shakes on or off. This will include screen shakes when completing actions and flashing during storms and when catching a fish.
