What Is The DDV Glitchy Pixel Duplicate Crafting Bug?

Crafted from Pixel Shards discovered during multiplayer ventures, Glitchy Pixel Duplicates are “wild card” ingredients that make the crafting process easier. They work as stand-ins for missing components across various recipes. However, DDV devs recently warned against using these duplicates to substitute crafting components due to a critical issue — using could remove some of your other stored ingredients, Dreamlight included.

The severity of this bug has compelled the development team to take immediate action, urging players to safeguard against accidental use by dropping these items within their in-game homes. Additionally, they’ve initiated a temporary halt on the Pixel Shard spawns, which is crucial for creating these glitchy duplicates. Continuous updates and progress on resolving this glitch are being tracked and communicated through their Trello board.

Clearly, those affected by this malfunction are lamenting their loss on all social media platforms. One distressed user reported inadvertently triggering the glitch, resulting in the loss of most accumulated Dreamlight, save for a meager 900 units. 

The launch of Disney Dreamlight Valley’s multiplayer feature was met with a mix of enthusiasm and reservations, and it’s likely this crafting bug won’t make it any more welcome. Some players are urging the devs to send Dreamlight through the mailbox as a means of compensation. This wouldn’t be the first time Gameloft throws a handful of coins in the mailbox to ask for forgiveness.
