Palworld promises fix for 'serious bugs,' save help coming

The developers of Palworld, the game that has garnered attention as a mix of Pokemon and gunplay, are actively tackling serious bugs reported by players. These glitches range from co-op server issues to a stat-reset item reducing the ability to capture Pals. In response to over 50,000 inquiries, the development team, led by a community manager known as Bucky, announced efforts to resolve problems affecting server access, multiplayer functionality, and lost save data. Players were given guidelines for potentially restoring lost singleplayer and co-op save data through backups. While the team works on permanent fixes, players encountering these issues are advised to try restoring game states using the provided instructions, and the team has apologized for any inconvenience. Gamers interested in Palworld can find additional resources such as early access reviews and guides for the game.

To restore lost save data in Palworld, locate the game's save directory, choose the backup save and world data files that correspond to your desired restore point, and use them to overwrite the current files in the main directory. A detailed guide is available in a Google Doc link provided by the game's community manager.

Palworld, developed by Pocketpair, has drawn attention for its unique blend of creature collection and survival mechanics underscored by a controversial layer of firearm usage. Despite having a whimsical and familiar concept reminiscent of the Pokemon series, the inclusion of guns has sparked debate and interest alike. The game features both single-player and multiplayer modes, where players can explore, battle, and capture creatures known as Pals while also facing the challenge of building and defending their bases against threats.
