Disney Dreamlight Valley - How to do a Manual Rollback on PC

on
If you are worried about a game-stopping glitch in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you might want to prepare to rollback your game to an earlier save. Here's how to do it if you are playing on PC.

WARNING: A rollback of course means progress since the rollback save is wiped. This CAN affect certain account-related things like Moonstone totals and possibly one-time mail to your account.
Be extremely careful if you do a rollback!

What you need: One extra computer
Disney Dreamlight Valley of course has CLOUD saves but also has Local saves that are specific to each computer. So you need at least one other computer to install your game in order to hold the save game you want to rollback to. Install the game on this secondary computer.
I have a DESKTOP and a LAPTOP. I normally play on my Desktop so my LAPTOP will be my secondary computer holding my rollback save. To keep instructions simple, I will use this setup.

How to prepare a rollback:
  1. Exit the game on the DESKTOP. If the game updates properly, your CLOUD save will be the same as your DESKTOP Local Save.
  2. Start the game on the LAPTOP.
  3. Because the savegame on the LAPTOP (the Local Save) will be different from the savegame on the CLOUD you will be asked which one you want to keep.
    • WARNING: Whichever one you choose will also become the CLOUD save. It is vital that you proceed carefully and know what you are overwriting.
    • Since I want to make a backup savegame on the LAPTOP, I will choose CLOUD save.
    • Now a copy of the CLOUD save will also be saved on the LAPTOP as the Local Save.
  4. Exit the game on the LAPTOP.
How to perform a rollback:
Suppose that during my play on the DESKTOP I encounter a glitch that blocks quest progress and I need to try things again, maybe doing it a different way. Now I will do a rollback to the savegame on my LAPTOP, which will be in a state prior to the glitch happening.
  1. Exit the game on the DESKTOP.
  2. Start the game on the LAPTOP.
  3. Because the savegame on the LAPTOP (the Local Save) will be different from the savegame on the CLOUD, you will be asked which one to keep.
    • Since I want to rollback to my save on the LAPTOP I will choose LOCAL SAVE (the savegame stored on my Laptop).
    • Now the CLOUD save will be changed to the one on the LAPTOP.
  4. Exit the game on the LAPTOP.
  5. Start the game on the DESKTOP.
  6. The DESKTOP Local Save will be different from the CLOUD save, which now contains the rollback save from the LAPTOP.
    • When asked, choose CLOUD save to overwrite the DESKTOP Local Save with the CLOUD save.
  7. Continue playing. When you enter the game you should find your progress has been rolled back to the same point as your LAPTOP save.
