Dreamlight Valley Rift in Time DLC

[dreamlightcollecter]

Hi dreamlightcollecter, thank you a lot for these informations. I got the 1.8.3 release version and RIT DLC from this time, I will try with those.
The information you shared are really interesting and this could be the trick. Do you remember if you started the RIT DLC on your switch or on the PC version?
This could be a reason why after "enabled" the DLC on the PC version, this 'unlocked' the Switch version.
I will check my JSON on my switch also and let you know.

I started RiT on my Switch. But I remember that I started to connect to the DDV Server on my PC between Part 1 and Part 2. Maybe they added the lock when Part 2 or 3 came out and that's why I never had any trouble.

If I remember correctly, I used the one from [redacted]. I don't remember which version it was back then, but it was the one that came out the very first day.

I remember seeing the short video and then going to the pedestal in front of the castle.

Sadly, I don't have any save data without Eternity Isle unlocked, so I can't experiment with that one.

For Storybook, I will try to find the .nsp and check if adding the letter to the inventory editing profile.json works to trigger the DLC. I will come back later and let you guys know what happens

really shouldn't be posting about where you get you roms from

Hi dreamlightcollecter, could you confirm which JSON file did you checked ?
Thank you,

I installed the 1.8 update version and the RiT DLC, got these messages I never got before.
In the Rift in Time menu, the video trailer started and this was appearing as acquired.
After I clicked on the "continue" section, I got the message : Erreur d'initialisation du jeu (#1)
Checking how to read the profile.json as I am new on this. Thank you

Error #1 means there is something wrong on the profile.json such as a comma or any other symbol in the wrong place or a command that doesn't exist.

Also, if you are using the 1.8 update, do not use the Expansion2 since back then it didn't exist and using it can crash the game. So it should look like this:

],
"CurrentTrackedActivity": -1,
"LastKnownBoughtExpansions": [
"Expansion1PackExpansionPass_Nintendo OnlineKey"
],
"LastKnownBoughtExpansionsAnyPlatform": [
"BaseGame"
],

(There has to be a _ between Nintendo and OnlineKey but I removed it 'cause it was turning into emoji)

 

[coffeatime]

The issue seems to come from here as you suggested, this is on mine :

"TrackedActivities": [ ], "CurrentTrackedActivity": -1, "LastKnownBoughtExpansions": [ ], "LastKnownBoughtExpansionsAnyPlatform": [ "BaseGame" ], "LastKnownBoughtSeasonalPacksAnyPlatform": { }, "ProblemsTracker": { "ProblemsFriendshipAmountTooHigh": [ ] }, "LastResponse": null, "LastRequestTimestamp": null, "IsSane": true }

 

[dreamlightcollecter]

Replace for:

"TrackedActivities": [ ], "CurrentTrackedActivity": -1, "LastKnownBoughtExpansions": [ "Expansion1PackExpansionPass_Nintendo_OnlineKey" ], "LastKnownBoughtExpansionsAnyPlatform": [ "BaseGame" ], "LastKnownBoughtSeasonalPacksAnyPlatform": { }, "ProblemsTracker": { "ProblemsFriendshipAmountTooHigh": [ ] }, "LastResponse": null, "LastRequestTimestamp": null, "IsSane": true }

Trying to find a way to re encrypt the file and inject into the console. I will have to redo-install the 1.14 version also to be aligned with your configuration

No need to reencrypt. You can use the file decrypted without problem. Just create a folder with the other files and inject to your switch

Hi everyone, hi dreamlightcollecter,
Just tested with 1.14.1.990 version of DDLV + the RiT DLC : it works!
I edited the save file and profile.json with the arguments suggested by dreamlightcollector, and after the start of the game, the short video with Jafar appeared. Thank you a lot.

Now let's try to find a way for the new DLC Vale Storybook.

 

[dreamlightcollecter]

NOTE: I CANNOT ACTUALLY TRY ANY OF THIS SINCE I ALREADY FINISHED THE RiT EXPANSION, I AM JUST TRYING TO HELP.

DDV Version: 1.14.1 (or 38)
RiT: Version 0 (I do not think there are more versions of this)

I can't share my save data for security reasons since I do play online using my PC, but I tried to find something tied to this on my profile.json and I found a possible solution:

At the very end of the profile.json, there are two sections that mentions the status of the expansions. Here's what mine looks like:

],
"CurrentTrackedActivity": -1,
"LastKnownBoughtExpansions": [
"Expansion1PackExpansionPass_NintendnlineKey",
"Expansion2PackExpansionPass_Microsoft_OnlineKey"
],
"LastKnownBoughtExpansionsAnyPlatform": [
"BaseGame",
"Expansion02"
],

On the first section, you can see Expansion1, which is RiT. I only played that one on my banned switch since I never bought it. Again, I never had trouble playing it; I even finished the whole story. Now, on the second section, it tracks the things I actually bought in the Microsoft store, which are the base game and Storybook. Why are they separated? I have no idea. Maybe adding this to your own profile.json file might work.

As I said, I play online on my PC. Using JKSV, I move my save data between my switch and PC and I have never had any problem with that. I mention this because on profile.json, at the beginning, I can see the last time my save data was uploaded to the DDV server. What I think could work is to add that into your save and trick the game to think that you have connected to the internet at least once in the past. Here is what mine looks like (IDs changed for Xs for security):

{
"loggedDevice": {
"deviceType": "DeviceType_Switch",
"deviceID": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",
"deviceModel": "",
"deviceName": "Switch",
"SysDeviceId": "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"
},
"lastServerSave": "2024-11-22T09:28:00.890647300Z"
},
{
"loggedDevice": {
"deviceType": "DeviceType_Windows",
"deviceID": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
"deviceModel": "",
"deviceName": "WINDOWSCO",
"SysDeviceId": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
},
"lastServerSave": "2024-11-24T21:53:14.012043300Z"
}
],
As you can see on the first one, there is a date registered as if I connected to the server to upload my save from my switch; I have never done such thing. I have connected to the server using my PC, but never my switch. Maybe adding the "lastServerSave" date will trigger something.

Again, this is just me trying to give options so you guys can play the DLC. I have no idea if this is related at all.

If someone tries this, please let us know if something happens

First option is now confirmed to work to trigger the RiT DLC.

I tried this method to add the new storybook vale dlc and it works too . I received the dlc mail in the mail box.

Thank you so much for letting us know!

For those looking for the NSP file of The Storybook Vale: You don't need one. Using the method mentioned before will trigger the DLC without the file.

 

[coffeatime]

It works! Also on my side for both DLC, Rift in Time and Storybook Vale !
Thank you guys and good team work with the arguments and tests.
Let's see for the next update on the 04/12 and the futures DLCs

 

[MSearles]

How are you guys editing your profile.json?

 

[BrianHardy]

One day the game just stopped launching for me. It just said "software closed due to error".

Now I'm trying to reinstall it but I can't install the Rift in Time dlc at all. Is this happening to anyone else?
