Palworld
Here’s an update
Discussion
My condolences to the ps5 players. I respect Pocket Pair for being direct, but that's a lot of collective hours lost.
As shitty as it is, we can't really be too mad at them since it's early access and very much an unfinished game. Also consoles are notoriously bad when it comes to bugs, making the early access experience even worse.
We knew this was a possibility walking in
It's also not entirely pocketpair's fault despite how quick they are to fall on that sword.
Other games have had this same issue on on Playstation. There's probably something Sony did stupid in how the console does data management, so certain methods of indexing savegames causes some kind of overflow issue that leads to corruption.
It is something that should've been caught in QA. If the problem was too many auto saves, that should've shown up really easily with enough testing.
Hopefully, it's a learning experience, and it doesn't happen again. They seem to be taking it very seriously.
Errors that appear on the long run are hard to catch, and it's usually expected on most companies to find them on production.
Well maybe back then it wasn't an issue, code is funky, it's hard making a game. It is likely that when the game first came out it required significantly less storage than it does now, thus creating the issue.
Thats true. But still it doesn't change the fact that the issue ideally should've been caught given adequate testing. You can't catch every bug, but a robust QA department is just a good idea in any software development environment. Even early access.
Dude, the game is an early access game. We’re the testers.
Is pocket pair even big enough to have its own testers? I thought we the players were essentially their testing crew, given the built in feedback system in the escape menu
I dont know if they are as small as other indie game companies, but most are less than 30 people so its kinda unrealistic to expect that much testing on their end when they need all hands on deck for updates.
Dude yall are crazy I'd you think it's unrealistic to have some testers even in an early access title. I get it we like pocket pair, I like pocket pair. I've also supported dozens of different early access games. I'm pointing out a fact, and that is letting software with a bug that deletes end user data is bad and shouldn't happen. This should be a learning experience for them.
Letting them right it off as oh its early access, so it's okay denies them the ability to grow. They didn't try to deflect blame on Sony and instead took responsibility because they knew it's their responsibility to catch it.
You can acknowledge developers you like made a mistake it's not insane. I'm not even being overly critical of them. I'm saying giant bugs like this ideally should be caught earlier.
I just dont think its reasonable to EXPECT testers on indie dev teams, because more times than not the team is less than 10 people who are each pushing 80 hours a week just doing the coding and asset work.
I dont know how big pocketpair is, if they are big enough to have spare hands for testing then I agree at least 10 hours a week total spent on testing should be minimum, but with particularly advanced games like open world sandboxes that needs maybe 20 devs, maybe more, just to have a few who have the time to do testing for extended sessions.
The limited workforce is even more constraining on mulit/cross platform games because they need testing on every platform. The PS5 save bug is a good example of how even the same code can run into platform specific issues. So you effectively divide the time for testing by I think 3? I think its just 3 platforms, but thats still a huge impact on what they might catch.
Anyways, my point is pocketpair is an indie dev team, not a AAA dev team, so what to expect from their settup is going to be more in line with other indie dev companies. So less than 30 team members, barely any extensive testing due to limited hours and manpower after you subtract the workload from pushing out updates, and a huge reliance on users reporting bugs to let them know where to focus their limited time allotted for bug fixing each update cycle.
Also never get your hopes up, alot of indie games keep their less critical bugs. This bug is obviously on the priority list, but the others in the game likely wont get fixed right away, and if they dont negatively impact gameplay or preformance they might never get fixed. Just depends on alot of behind the scenes factors that we the audience cant see
it's early access and very much an unfinished game.
It's on (e)store shelves and costs money to buy.
No game doing that gets to hide behind "it's early access / unfinished" for stuff like this.
>clearly states on the store page "Due to the nature of early access, there will be bugs and issues."
>experiences bugs and issues
>NOOOO, YOU CAN'T USE EARLY ACCESS AS AN EXCUSE FOR BUGS AND ISSUES!
You bought the game knowing full well, and agreeing to the fact that there would be issues. You can't backpedal your attitude now just because you didn't read the warnings clearly visible on every store page Palworld sells on.
This is how early access has always worked for every game on the market. Valheim players knew it, Palworld players know it, and future early access titles will always have it. Does it suck when it happens? Yeah. And I feel for those who lost their data. But you accepted the risk when you made the purchase. Don't want the risk? Wait for a full release.
Taking money for a product incurs responsibility, no matter how it's dressed up. It's out on store shelves. Hiding behind the EA label, even if (especially if) it's explicitly stated to be, doesn't defer such responsibility.
If you really want to get into the "expectations / social contract" weeds of "there might be bugs" in early access titles, "your dozens+ hours of gameplay could be wiped at any moment" does not typically fall under that umbrella. That kind of volatility should not be in any product that is being bought and paid for. Period.
Nobody goes into an early access title expecting the game to push the reset button on your progress. Which is why most early access games, demos, etc. have "your game progress will carry over to the full title."
Also, I didn't buy the game. :)
Most early access titles, in fact, do not promise that. Part of purchasing any game today, is accepting that it comes with terms and conditions. The ethical nature of those terms is entirely up for debate.
But if you (the royal you) choose to buy an incomplete product, you can't then complain that the product is incomplete. You chose to buy it, with full knowledge and understanding that the product was incomplete.
If you walk into a store, and want to buy a product that clearly says on the box "Product is fragile, and may break during regular use. We are not liable for damages.", and then you break it, you're very unlikely to find anyone who'll be sympathetic to your plight. It said so on the box, and you did it anyway. That is 100% on the buyer. Most people wouldn't have bought the product to begin with.
Yeah that is pretty rough
Yea im glad im one of the lucky ones who just bought the game while it was on sale, only had like 15 hours in my world and was considering restarting anyway now that ive got a handful of game knowledge.
Lost 240 hours .
I restarted but I changed a lot of settings so I could catch up again it sucks but what can ya do
If you have cloud saves, you should be able to delete your local save and dowload the last uploaded save. It might cost you today's progress if you have it automatically update, but hopefully you won't lose too much more if you're doing so manually.
Just remember that you have to go into the settings to turn auto upload back on after you download your save, as deleting the local forces you to turn it off.
I know I’m ps5 but I’m my happy it’s fixed for now anyway
I'm happy that they were at least specific on what the issue is, instead of just saying it was a bug.
Counting my lucky stars that I've managed to avoid this with my PS5 save.
At least they're honest
Respect for taking responsibility. This was rlly frustrating to deal with. I had a similar problem with my Xbox, but I did not have too many saves. I just removed it, but I might reinstall and check the game out again.. maybe the fixed it, maybe not, but this message gives me hope that they will eventually.
The only error code I seem to have on my history log is CE-108255-1
I might be in luck
I think I may have been premature in my optimism - multiple people saying they know they’ve seen them codes, but they aren’t showing in the Error log so im also probably screwed.
Oh fuck. Over 1000 hours lost. Glad that I got the Steam version didn’t wait for the PS5 fix, because I imagine that once my world vanished it was gone for good. This extremely sucks.
Personally, I'm not surprised and was expecting to have to delete my save files. But I don't know what this means for Pals in the global storage? Worse comes to worse, I should just be able to give them to my friend on pc, and take them back once everything's deleted.
If you delete your saves it also deletes your pals from the global save box.
Cloud and external drive backups on ps5 preserve global pals too.
For my own clarity, did you mean deleting the world files will also delete the pals from the global save box? Or did you mean something different by "saves?"
Deleting the game saved data from your PlayStation storage, also deletes your global save data. Pal world doesn’t have cloud storage services.
Well I’ve got an old save and it’s my only one. Probably around 80 hours if I had to guess. Haven’t played in a few months. When I boot up next will I be having to start from scratch? Or will this upcoming patch prevent the corruption?
I would still wait for the patch, if you didn't load it in the newest update, I would say its probably pretty safe.
The issue seems to happen during the save process, so maybe look into other backup options on the ps5( I don't use ps5 so I can't help you there) and try to backup beforehand.
So is it better for me not to play when I did not get the error code so my save will be safe ? Or I can play without problem if I did not get the error code ..
I’m running only 1 save I deleted rest before this bug was even a thing .
Just wait till after the update and test it then. No need to temp fate by letting it create more save data.
And for the disappearing quests bug? Any update?
Just a random perspective, but I’ve been starting my game over from scratch every major patch from the games start and can at least attest that my experience with the game has been very fun as a result.
I've been doing both.
I've got my main world that I've had pretty much since they plugged the entrance to the ruins on the Isle of Beginnings. And then I've been starting new worlds with each major release as well.
The introduction of the Global Palbox was a godsend for me, on that front. Since now I've been able to consolidate all of the pals I've worked on, on every world, into my main world as well.
I do find it to me more enjoyable if not tedious to reset at a major update/content drop. Tried to implement my current max save in Sakurajima for a few hours and it was not enjoyable because I captured everything, built everything and did most/all the new content in just a few hours rather than progressively implementing things.
Especially the new pals there was no need to have them at that time because my bases and party members were all exactly how I liked them and I didn’t want to spend hours breeding and condensing to get the same effect again.
Cool.
Hopefully next they can address the memory leak issues for private servers.
Right now, we're having to reset our server twice a day to keep from crashing. Never had this issue before in Palworld, never had this issue in any other game really.
I noticed memory leak on single player PC as well. Every few hours I have to restart the game to release memory or else my whole computer freezes due to insufficient memory caused by the leak.
There's a memory leak on the PC client too - my game is currently at 30 GB of ram usage, for example.
Same here. Memory leak on pc dedicated server, crashes and it will stop saving and will generate partial/corrupt backups. Almost crickets on the pc issues since last hotfix
Also noticed this issue in singleplayer. If I run the game too long, I need to close and reopen it, or else I'll see a crazy drop in performance that worsens with time.
What if you have exactly 11 saves?
I’ve been too scared to check if my save is okay tbh
They should implement the same safety precautions for xbox too just to be sure It doesnt every affect them in the future
Fully respect them for not just being honest, but also explaining what exactly has been happening and their solution going forward, fully on their end.
That such behavior has become rare nowdays is a shame to the gaming industry, so kudos to them.
Not to mention, that is not easy of an error to find in the first place, who would suspect backup saves?
So tomorrow's update will only concern the PS5? Nothing for Xbox?
Nintendo would just say buy another copy
"... this is ultimately our fault, and we apologise..."
and then taking steps to change in the future...
While it's still really bad people lost a ton of hours/entire worlds, this is a level of sincerity you hardly can even find while dating randos, oh em gee am I in a loving relationship with my gaming company? ♡(ʃƪ＾ω＾）
I choose you too Pocketpair~
I love the transparency of these guys
Another pocketpair W
So its Playstation's spaghetti code causing issues once again.
Can someone help me understand this please. My worlds disappeared a few days ago and I haven't gotten them back. My pals are still in the global palbox.
I've checked through my PS5 error history and neither "CE-100022-5" or "CE-100096-6" error code are there.
Do I still have to delete my saved data (which I'm guessing will delete my worlds entirely) or will my worlds return after this update?
Thank you in advance
Sorry to say, I'm pretty certain your save files/ worlds are toast. I'm not certain about the global pal box; but you might need to delete them too in order prevent this issue from happening again. Even if you do have to delete everything, including those pals, then you should be able to save them still by transferring them over to someone else, wipe everything, and then take them back after.
Alright, thanks. I guess it could be worse
The error codes dont show up in ps error history, i have just checked and thought my save was ok due to not seeing either of them. Loaded up and was instantly hit with the 2nd error code... my saves are busted :(
I see, thanks. That sucks, so you'll have to start from scratch too, I'm assuming. Do you know why the error codes don't show up in error history?
Yea its looking like i will have to start over again, no idea why the errors dont show up in ps error history since its a pop up window coming from the console and not just an in game error code. Possibly an error on playstations side since other games have similar issues too. Idk...
Don't delete your pals. One thing is the save another one is the palbox it makes no sense that the problem comes from the palbox
Yeah. One person mentioned that. According to them, I should be able to put my pals in a friend's world. Delete everything, then get my pals back.
I wouldn't bother but yeah that works
280 hours of my one and only solo world gone. And it wasn’t even my fault
593 here
Despite Pocketpairs willingness to take the fall, it likely wasn't entirely theirs either. Other games on the PS5 have reported a lot of saving issues. PP should've known about this ahead of time, given the reports from other developers, and planned ahead. So they aren't entirely free of blame. But Sony needs to look into this problem as a whole as well.
The nature of early access, unfortunately. The price we pay for getting the game early, is suffering all of the incompleteness and fumbles that entails. Sorry for your loss brother, I hope you at least managed to get some pals into the global palbox.
So if I save my latest save to my console and delete the rest.....? Maybe I'll be safe.
If i save some pal dna will I be good? I was planning on not playing my first world after a certain amount of ingame days anyways
I would transfer them to someone else's save file, and then take them back after everything's cleared, just tin case.
I probably should right? My save did get deleted before but the pal dna stayed regardless. With that said, I don’t care to keep the real ones so I probably wont, but thats definitely the best call for when you don’t want to risk completely starting over. Crossplay is a blessing
By deleted save, do you mean you lost progress or are the worlds completely gone?
In the latter case, I've heard that pals in the global palbox are tied to the world files, in which case, if your worlds are already deleted, you unfortunately might not have access to them. In that case, you might have access to your worlds if you force close Palworld (from the home button click the select button, and from the drop down menu close the game). When I do that, my world files came back... I just can't save any progress from that point on.
EDIT: That being said, I'm not 100% sure of a whole lot. This entire bug has been confusing, and it manifested differently for different people. And I'm now questioning my own advice. It would make sense that, even if the world files are hidden, but still exist, you should still have access to the pals in the global box anyway. I'm just speculating. Either way, I hope you manage to save your pals!
Sorry I forgot to clarify this in particular: the worlds at some point automatically deleted themselves one day when I manually logged off on default settings. I closed the game, the worlds were still gone when I reopened. Yet, the global palbox had the data of those pals intact. I believe it’s because they aren’t actually the pals themselves nor are they tied to a world so you can see/make them regardless of if the worlds are gone.
So yes technically I did already lose the data before. The only reason I could recover my saves tho is thru ps plus, but Im starting over anyway so prepping my global box is really the only thing I care about when the update launches. Given everything we know now
Okay. You're the second person to tell me that. It's weird I seem to be the only one who's worlds disappear and reappear when I close the game.
That happened to me the first time. When I closed game the worlds went missing. Closed and reopened it; everything was there suddenly. At a certain point when I manually logged off again instead of closing the game, I went to check my worlds beforehand. It was all gone besides those global pals. When it disappeared then, the reopening trick stopped working. Ofc I will not be testing the correlations but if someone wants to then sure
it sucks but at least you can turn up the exp multiplier to 20x and get back to your previous point easily.
Unfortunately, leveling will be the least time consuming part even if they don't increase exp gain. The real grind is the tens of thousands of resources to reach end game and the tens or hundreds of thousands more to get full end game legendaries.
Breeding will be faster and easier with the surgery table but it will still take a lot of time and effort.
Pocket pair W
And my condolences to the Play station player base
At least we have global palboxes. Save your best pals.
Get them out now before the mass extinction event comes!
I literally got the error 22-5 today on ps5. Did not try login back in or anything. Do I restore from a back up now or wait til the update?
I'd wait for the update.
Im very glad I convinced my friends to move to a PC hosted server about a month ago! Improved performance across the board especially for me hosting the server.
There goes 900+ hours down the fkn drain
Aww, that’s a huge bummer, but that’s just part of the deal when you’re playing an early access game.
Funny thing is, the exact same bug popped up with Skyrim back on the Xbox 360 or PS3, if I remember right.
Let’s hope your save file doesn’t bloat so much that even one is enough to break things again.
Still, it sucks, but hey, silver lining: you get to replay the early game with all the new tweaks and stuff they’ve added.
And hopefully you will be able to salvage the pals you spent hours breeding via the global pal box.
They accepted their mistake, said their appologies, made some countermeasures and improvements. common pocketpair W
One thing I truly admire about pocketpair is the fact that they own their mistakes and truly apologize instead of gaslighting or ignoring the issues.
Pocketpair truly shows what a gaming dev company should be
I don't understand. Does the problem occur when you have more than 10 save games? I only have one save game and I still get this error. Or am I misunderstanding this?
Is the global palbox also gone, or just the world saves?
Fk! This is horrible lol. I had just received my legendary Terraprisma also. I just hope the cloud save isn't corrupted.
Well, I might be screwed 😕. I lost one world on PS5 after 600 days back in the feabreak update. Now I might lose this one after 600+ hrs also.
So much hard work with passives and legendary schematics lost on both worlds.
I've been having a problem I wasn't sure why. But it hasn't messed up my game saves overall. If anything I'm just conscious of when my game does save even though I have my interval down so it saves very regularly. The only time it doesn't is when I like go into a cave or leave one. But otherwise it still saves on its interval and my file has not been corrupted. I appreciate the update. I thought it was just something going on with my own internet connection🤷🏿♂️
wot happens if you lost your saves ? my lvl 48 with all my favorite pals is just gone i cant find em anywhere :((
This doesn't really explain much. How does one know if they have over 11 saves? It's grouped as one save file. I had auto save issues, but when I returned to title screen it saved. My game has never crashed or gotten any error code. I stopped playing as soon as people started reporting losing worlds n saves. Never got msg about corrupted saves, n my cloud saves still work n are up to date. Am I okay to play after patch?
I played a few days ago and had no issues. I wont try again until after the update however can anyone confirm if everyone on PS5 is fucked or just those who have experienced the crash and save wipe?
It is unfortunate and very frustrating, but they owned up to it and are fixing it so it doesn’t happen again. I wonder if that genome upload thing would let people keep some of their pals while restarting their world to get rid of the corruption issue, or if that data has to go too.
So I gotta delete my save on the ps5
Couldn’t a work around for not losing your Pals be to:
- Move the Pals to the Global Pal Box
- Drop them in another server on a different account/console
- Delete your Save Data
- Start a New Save
- Bring the pals back into your new Save Data
You’d still lose your game data on your PS5, but not your Pals.
Upsetting I gotta make a new island but glad they fixed it
This is absolutely devastating :(
Is this also for the bug missions?
I got the error code a once the other night but then it was perfectly fine for hours after that, I had completely forgotten about it. And it had never happened before either. Y’all think if I just wait for the update I could be fine?
It's a painful glitch, but at least deleting local save data and re-downloading from the cloud or a separate drive helps duct tape things back together till it happens again..
I’m glad they’re doing this for single player enjoyers I had to create my server on pc to avoid this problem completely since I’ve previously lost my 200hr save on ps5
I lost my world at 1207 days and 852 hours played. Was my only world/save on my ps5 when the first feybreak update was released literally started 2 more worlds since then, I can't bring myself to delete the world where auto save failed. Literally no more than 2 saves on my Playstation so how have yall determined that??
Not world saves but backup saves and auto saves. One world can have multiple save states and having too many can corrupt a world. In all honesty, the older the world, the more at risk it is to this bug.
I've never played ps4 or ps5 but I know that ps2 and 3 save data could become corrupt for various reasons and if I remember correctly from my ps2 one of the reasons was familiar to what they described as the cause here
Oh this is sad :( pocketpair though are incredible! I guess we can always max settings to get everything back again?
All in all least we have answers to the save issue
I was getting this a couple times about a week ago when I came back to the game after a long break, haven't had the issue for a few days though (*knock on wood). I have my autosaves at 30 secs, don't remember if that's the default though. I'm only at day 115 on my world. So hopefully I'm safe until the update.
While I'm happy Thier getting stuff fixed have they made any ground in the glitch with pal boxes going empty and doesn't let you pull out pals or capture pals?
This is also happening on Xbox
As an Xbox player, I’ve probably lost about 500 hours at least due to server crashes and lost save files, but I just keep on coming back
So basically they saying we screwed.
We gotta respect Pocketpair, they really did their work to find out what the problem is and communicated honestly. Rare sight to see.
I only have one save file and I was still losing a couple hours between booting the game up
10 what? 10 worlds? 10 consecutive saves? 10 gigs? Whaaaaaat
Sorry to hear that, hopefully PS5 players are willing to start the journey again, plus side of it, the game feels much more alive now.
Also that mean over 500 hour are gone or I have luck that my cluod saves are not corrupted
Personally, I'd just avoid touching it until after the update if I was you.
Depends on if you've had a cloud sync since the error. I'd suspect you have; cloud storage is usually quick about sync.
My Kast cloud save is 7 days old tht was the save before my game crashed. I load my save personal up and down not automatically
Welcome to Early Access.
So Im just done playing if im going to lose my world then
Crazy. So many people have hundreds of hours in their world, and they're just gone. They're going to lose a ton of players forever because of this.
Because of a bug on PlayStation's end?
Yes. It doesn't really matter what caused it. Most people don't even care about the details they just know their saves are gone.
Downvote me all you like. This is a simple fact.
You might be speaking harsh truths, but you’re absolutely right. A lot of players, especially more casual players, won’t know or even care whose fault it is that their save file is corrupted and needs to be restarted. It doesn’t matter if it’s PocketPair, Sony, or even Nintendo/Gamefreak themselves hacking in and corrupting people’s files so they get their wish of shutting Palworld down (Obviously this isn’t happening…yet). All they know is that they have to restart their potentially hundreds of hours all over again from scratch.
I believe they will lose some players over this, some short term, some long term, and some maybe even permanently. There’s only so quickly one can “get back to where they were”. EXP can be jacked up, capture rate can be maxed, and player/pal damage can be adjusted to breeze through and level up quickly. But things like farming rainbow traits, schematics, high IVs, skill fruits are RNG, and breeding can be tedious at times. I think some people will be putting this game down for a while.
Well, that's their fault for always pointing at someone to blame to, rather than stopping to think twice about what happened and if waiting until they fix it is the solution.
Collective ignorance just leads to an already big problem to just get worse (specially with the they will lose players non-sense), but this time being from the group of players in denial, rather than the devs.
The fact that the "solution" is to delete every record of you playing the game and starting everything over again and hope it doesn't happen again is wild. Give me my money back XD
I'm sorry that PlayStation's bug caused a problem
It tells you every time you start the game that the game is in Early Access and that you can lose saves. So exactly what is your problem
Idk how to feel about this since it reads like "we found the issue but if you got these error codes your outta luck do another save" and that doesn't sit right
What do you expect them to do? Have you send in your Playstation so they can try to personally fix the corruption? There's no magic button that makes bad files fix themselves.
I know it sucks but you have to understand that this is EA. We basically signed up to be their QA. And since they don't collect save data, they cannot restore saves affected by this bug.
It sucks but there isn't anything to be done about it. They don't have your data. The data got corrupted. It's gone. It's likely not recoverable.
At that point, all that can be done is give an apology acknowledge the bug should've been detected prior and plug gaps in development that allowed it to slip through.
Pocket pair has gone all they can do. It'd just be unfortunate for all those who lost their data.
Well, Pocketpair is trying their best. At least with the Crossplay feature, Xbox & PC players can provide Pals to PS5 players as a saving grace for the world deletion.
I I appreciate them trying their hardest, but 244 hours just lost like that is painful, but I know more people have put more hours in and won’t be happy either, oh well we can only hope it doesn’t happen in the future
I have had similar things happening to me in "finished" games before. I'm talking about 600h+
At least Pocketpair is looking at it and updating us instead of keeping us in the dark and ignoring the issue like many developers during their alpha and beta phases ("iF yOu DoN't LiKe It, WaIt FoR tHe FuLl ReLeAsE!").
If anything, this post makes me like Pocketpair even more!
Kudos!
Yeah and it doesn't help that they're still dealing with the Nintendo lawsuit at the same time while trying to fix the in game issues
Kind of delusional to make yourself think other devs would ignore something as dire as this just so PocketPair seem better, no?
You clearly never heard of the horror stories behind pre-ordering any "AAAA" game...
And the relevance to pre-ordering a game and losing your save data to a bug is what, exactly? Considering you have no save data in the first place?
But they do though. Sometimes its just because its not a priority compared to bigger bugs, but alot of times its because they are too focused on either marketing or covering their ass after releasing an unfinished product to worry about singular issues like a save bug
Or they flatout dont care about user feedback, like nintendo.
I guarantee you that no company would flat-out ignore if a bug was deleting people's saves.
Even Nintendo, who did a once-in-a-blue-moon Event and released an update patch on the 3DS for Pokemon X and Y when a similar event occurred.
It sucks yes but we have to keep in mind it is early acces.
mistakes can happen, they give 200% for the comunity so cmon 1 week not playing isnt to much.
Don’t forget this game is in early release. It’s not in general availability. We’re basically all beta testing the game for Pocketpair, and losing data due to bugs is very, very likely to happen. If you don’t want to have that experience, I recommend you wait to play Palworld until v1.0 when the game goes full release.
I mean at the end of the day it’s an early access game. Anytime you play a game in EA you risk having your save files made incompatible by a future update.
I’ve restarted a few times. I actually enjoy it and each restart I can apply what I’ve done and learned to the new saves. I modify settings to make progress quicker as well. Global pal box makes things easier now.
I've even had Steam Cloud saves get corrupted. I was playing Detroit Become Human and had about 15 hours in the game and boom all gone. I troubleshooted all I could and still couldn't fix the save.
It won't help with buildings and whatnot but maybe you could put your hardest won pals in the global pal box before deleting? Might help soften the blow to be able to start with them
The answer is don't play on PlayStation. It's a flawed console.
You're a happy one aren't you?
Yeah, I like when people get what they deserve
I’m taking this in stride, as I love the game. I managed to get most of my pals in the global pal box before the save corrupted on my brothers ps5. But it’s rough to lose so much progress. Does anyone have any decent breeded pals they could give me clones of with the global pal box?
I don’t play with friends and I just lost 650 hrs worth of work.. I.. Don’t think I’ll be playing anymore. Everything is gone. I kind of want to cry.
Hours upon hours of catching Lamball and Gobfin to get 1 of every single passive. Insane hours of breeding to try and get the perfect pals all just.. Gone.
Been doing early access for decades and this is the first time I’ve lost this much work.
That level of frustration is understandable. The best thing to do is step away for a while. On the bright side, with the new surgery table, you can recoup some of the breeding stuff super fast and easily. With the Terraria heart crystals giving 20k a piece and respawning while still in the same dungeon, you can farm them (or simply snag them each lap through) for some money while farming for recipes from the crossover.
I probably just am not going to play until it’s in full release. Not even frustrated.. Just saddened.
I get it, and wish you the best. There are many lands elsewhere for you to explore. Some digital, some real. Good fortunes to you!
Ahaha. Appreciate it. Being physically disabled I’ll stick to digital.
I’m in the same boat as you brother. I lost my 3 worlds, although still have access to global palbox, and do not think I will be starting again. There’s just no way to get the feeling of my old worlds back at this point and I think seeing old spots would just be more painful and feel extremely tedious rather than enjoyable. I understand it is in beta, but for me a fault to this scale is unacceptable as a consumer and I think most of the people in this comment section are PC based off their carefree responses. I’ll just go to another game that I don’t need to worry about saves, and have my new opinion on pocketpair/palworld while it marinates in my library.
If you're able to open the save at all, you might be able to upload pals to the global palbox before the corruption stops you? I'm not sure.
