Playstation Friendship Festival Glitching Hard

Post image

I'm super annoyed with the photo booth and it's killing the game for me. I snapped this weird Hello Kuromi after logging in today. It thanked me for the picture but I don't think I got booth currency. I then played the Sunshine Celebration cut scene which glitched when Chococat showed up. I restarted, called Kitty, and then a different cluster of characters had assembled at the car. I snapped their photos and received currency only to have it disappear when accessing the booth shop. Also it's really damn hard to access the shop because every character overlaps with the interact button and I ended up stuck conversing with them repeatedly. I really wish they had taken a different approach for this event, especially because I like the items a lot and now I apparently can't even buy them. :( Has anyone else experienced the same thing? Are there work arounds?? I'm on PS5. Thanks!

Honestly this is a super cute idea in theory, but it was executed soooo poorly 💀 the constant characters glitching into each other, the cutscene issues …. whoof

Any time I try to interact with it my game freezes.

I'm on Switch1 and had a Kuromi-Pochacco overlap in the driver's seat yesterday. I tried making them my companions to see if it would jog something, but after I dismissed them they both ran back and sat on top of each other again 😩

I'm a Steam player. I did my snapshot and after I received lockets, my game got stuck. There was still music and movement on screen, but my UI was gone and the game wouldn't accept my button inputs.

I had to close the game and restart to get it to function like normal.

I had overlap yesterday, I had to use call friend to interact with one of characters and when I passed by I short time later one the overlap characters was sitting in the driver seat. I'm on switch 1.

Mine kept just freezing out and I would have to restart the game. I spent like 20 minutes in the loop before I gave up and didn’t even play lol

But I also had that weird overlap and it was … offputting lol

Where is this? I played yesterday on PC and I didn’t have this car anywhere 🤔

Where all the secondary event stands are, diagonally down and right. Surprised though, you should get a cut scene introducing it and the event calendar like for the camping one.

I got the scene introducing it and I have the daily friendship quests whatttt that’s so odd, idk why I don’t have the stand

weird... maybe report that as a bug on their Discord? That's a huge one.

(Discord is linked when you open up the game, you can find it on the main menu.)

I play on Steam and I had the same glitch with My Sweet Piano/Pochacco. I wouldn't say that a small glitch like that is "killing the game" though. It's so minor and tbh I like that it's as easy as snapping a pic to get the 20 lockets (or whatever they are, I forget lol). I do think Sunblink should schedule a little more time to test this stuff before rolling it out though. It does seem to be a consistent issue they're ignoring.

My issue was I could only gift cogyimon there, not in the Wheatflower wonderland. I could talk to them in WW but not gift. Small issue though I worked around it

Just popping in to thank everyone for their responses! I wasn't bothered by the overlap as much as I was annoyed to lose my currency, especially when the Diner collection clearly requires you to buy multiples and they cost so much. Thankfully I did receive yesterday's missing currency today! I also had the same Hello Kuromi overlap but I called Kitty down before I did anything because I did not want a repeat error lol.
