World Data Autosave Failed

[r0ad1e]

As it says in title.

Constantly have this error showing at left hand side in red writing - started 2 days ago and is constant now.
Any gameplay is reset back to first bug encounter upon log out/login making the game completely unplayable

Reading multiple posts online I am not the only one experiencing yet no adhoc suggested fixes work for me.

Hoping a proper fix or acknowledgment of bug is imminent as player base will fade if game becomes unplayable for more people.

Anyone else experiencing same? Advice?

Playing on SX Xbox

Is there any solutions to this? I have this error too, playing on pc.

It have something to do with building I destroyed everything and it started to save again I sent in 3 reports not a single word back and have not seen a fix

Yes, me and a friend deleted lots of the base too and it started saving again, but then you start rebuilding the base again and it doesnt take much before it stops saving again, It was not like this before tho...

Edit, I've also sent 3 emails and havent heard anything back, hoping for a patch soon that will fix this

My wife and I have a shared world and we started getting this error a couple days ago.

Today we experimented with several different things and got it to save only when quitting the game and only when we put all our pals in the box.

This error definitely seems to be related to the memory leak that the developers have already discussed in public. I have a feeling that save files are getting bigger than they want them to be in the servers. Just having issues with it.

The only fix seems to be reducing the size of the save file by reducing the amount of data being saved.

So tomorrow we're going to consolidate one of our camps into the other to see if it gets the error to go away.
If it does, I will post the results here.

Same here started a couple days ago. Timelines cannot be a coincidence

Same here. 200+ hours in at level 50 and now I can’t progress. Started about Feb 7th.

In my single player world I was able to get my world to start saving again by changing the “maximum number of dropped items in the world” setting in the custom settings way down to 10, loading into my world and then quitting and returning to the title screen and then changing it back to what it was before.

My best guess is that ore/wood/coal was falling through the world at one of my bases and that setting the dropped items to 10 made it all despawn.

Yes we also put Pals in the box, i think it was that and reducing building, i also think it is related to memory size, But as of right now, playing on the save seems kinda hopeless, hoping they will come with a fix very soon

this makes the most sense, as its what the error messages have lead me to believe after lots of testing as well, it makes sense that the world is too overloaded to send all that data at once and it would not be the first game to have this problem. People with good pc’s dont seem to be having this problem as much, almost everyone on console is.

Here's what my wife just did and had successfully saved a few times;

1. I took down my 3rd fully built Basecamp
2.Put pals away
3. As you are quiting click return to title the moment you press that you need to click record. It only works if you time it right. Then it works.

I've re loaded in 3 times in a row and it's worked .
But you MUST time it right. The error message will show up throughout the game but remember to do these steps and you can save your data.

*By "click record" she means long press the share button. I don't know if this will help on PC, we play on Series X

Question is, may this be related to capturing world boss? like the ones in the tower, cause I did that, and there could be a possibility it may be related to that aswell, and or the memory as pointed out above, did any of you guys capture any of the tower bosses? I dont have the tower boss in my palbox or party but i know i captured one, and that may be the cause of this too

We never did that as it is a glitch.

No you probably wouldn't do yourselves any favors doing glitches and stuff of that nature this early in the game. But I can't say that we did not capture any tower bosses in our save.

I do truly believe it has something to do with the total size of the save file data - conan had similar problems at first

it’s documented that the devs are small inexperienced team and it may be they don’t have the know how to fix things currently added they don’t have backup files - the save system seems to be in 2parts - your character and ‘the world’ which would include pals, resources and structures ie. everything that doesn’t save with this error

let’s just hope a fix or something is coming and we can once be happy and play again as I’m sad for 5 days now

Yes, they do have a two-part save system because eventually they want it to be to where your character can go to multiple servers and retain its inventory.

Happily, Microsoft announced that they're going to aid the developers with the issues that they're having. So hopefully within the next few weeks we'll see an uptick in updates and the quality thereof.


For now, the game only seems truly playable if you want to live a minimalist life. Lol

• Palworld's server costs are expected to go down once Pocketpair finishes fixing some critical multiplayer bugs, including a severe memory leak inhibiting the game's scalability.

On the game pass version there are no dedicated servers, so this is not relevant to what we're talking about...
