How to Fix ‘Action Requires You to Be Connected to Online Services’ Error in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley may be something you can play completely solo, but there are a few systems in the game that require you to have an online connection, including its multiplayer. At times, then, you may be hit with an ‘Online Request’ that states ‘This action requires you to be connected to online services. Do you want to connect.’ The problem is, you might already have an online connection when this arises, so what gives?

What the Disney Dreamlight Valley Online Request Means?

As noted, the online request will appear when you’re performing an action that requires you to be connected to the internet. The example, I’ve stumbled upon when playing through the game is when trying to open specific chests that will contain Moonstones, such as the blue chests scattered throughout the magical world. These aren’t your ordinary chests that contain Star Coins though, so don’t stress too much. Your money-making methods can continue, uninterrupted from connection woes.

Can You Fix ‘Action Requires You to Be Connected to Online Services’ Error?

If you’re connected to the internet then chances are that there’s nothing you can do to fix error from popping up. Especially if there’s a major update or expansion dropping, there’s a good chance that the DDV servers are just being overloaded and struggling to handle the strain.

You’ll also want to try restarting the game and your console, PC or device to ensure that there’s not just a bug in the system somewhere.

If your internet connection has a tendency to be a little bit unreliable, then try restarting your router and ensuring that your console or PC is connected. It might even be worth trying to play another online game and making sure that runs correctly. If that’s working fine, then you’ll at least know that the issue is on the server side and your internet connection is all good.

Last but by no means least, make sure that Disney Dreamlight Valley’s servers aren’t down. Any server status reporting is done through the official Disney Dreamlight Valley X (formerly known as Twitter) account page.

At least one of these things should be the answer to your online request woes in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Should you still be having issues, let us know down in the comments below.
