What Is The Dreamlight Valley Cloud Save Error?

It isn't entirely clear why this is happening though. In the aforementioned FAQs, Gameloft state that:

At this time, due to many players moving to Disney Dreamlight Valley at once, players may need to retry several times to create a Cloud Save account.

Whether this is an indication that the servers are struggling to cope with demand is slightly speculative, but it would seem logical, if player volumes are being blamed for this issue.

It's worth reminding ourselves that Dreamlight Valley is currently in Early Access, and bugs and errors are an inevitable part of the experience, as the developers try to iron out major flaws in the game before its full release (due in 2023).

So while the experience is imperfect, it's the price you pay for getting to play the game months before everyone else. As we often recommend, keep an eye on the official Twitter account, as they will usually post updates about any fixes they have provided.

Make sure as well, to download any updates as soon as they become available. These will often contain fixes to a range of problems, and will hopefully lead to a better gaming experience as a result.

How To Enable Cloud Save in Dreamlight Valley

Of course, you may be wondering how and why to bother with Cloud Saves in the first place.

Well, Cloud Save is essential if you want to take advantage of the cross-save functionality within the game. Using this will allow you to continue your journey across all relevant platforms, provided you use the same account details to log into the game.

If this sounds like something you'd like to do, setting up Cloud Save is (in theory at least) simple:

  • Launch Disney Dreamlight Valley
  • In the main menu, select Cloud Save
  • Create your account using an email address and password
  • A confirmation code will be sent to your email address to verify you
  • Enter that code into the game, and you've enabled Cloud Save

This will then allow you to log in to other platforms, and pick up where you left off. Assuming it works, that is. If it doesn't, simply follow the steps we outlined above, and you should eventually get things working.

Now this cloud save issue is hopefully resolved, check out if there's a Disney Dreamlight Valley mobile version.
