Nintendo has just released a new update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which brings the game up to version 1.4.2 for Nintendo Switch owners.
This patch does not introduce new functionalities, items, or characters, but it fixes some of the most annoying bugs added through the last several content updates.
As you can see below, the patch notes address issues coming from specific versions of the game, which had remained for quite a long time now.
In particular, dreaming shouldn’t cause crashes anymore after they were implemented in update 1.4, and shining soil should not appear behind buildings anymore.
This is the full changelog for Animal Crossing: New Horizon version 1.4.2:
