A serious bug is currently affecting many players in Palworld. You are faced with empty characters or missing items or pals that were definitely there before. Now the developers are contacting the players with bad news.
What kind of bug is this? The big update for Palworld was released today, which brought a new island and additional companions as well as many other innovations.
Since the update became available to players, there has been a lot of negative feedback on the developers’ social media channels. Players playing on a dedicated server face empty characters. A large proportion of PC players play on such servers, which is why the complaints continue to increase.
There are several problems with the characters. Items, Pals are missing or the entire character is completely empty or cannot even be found. This is especially annoying for those who have been playing Palworld for a long time and are now left with nothing. Now the developers have spoken out.

Every MMO player’s nightmare
What do the developers say about the problem? The developers at Palworld have already identified the problem. As they write in an announcement on X.com, the problem really only affects the dedicated servers and the patch that is supposed to solve the problem is already being rolled out, so your server will receive an update soon. However, there is a catch.
All characters will receive a rollback with the new patch. A rollback is often viewed as a nightmare by MMO players as it takes away the time they have invested and the progress they have achieved. This is why many developers want to avoid such a reset. If it does occur, this usually indicates that a serious problem has occurred that could only be remedied with this drastic measure.
Things get really bad for the players in Palworld: As soon as the problem is fixed, all characters will be reset to the status before the big update. Also the characters that were recreated. So if you’ve only just started playing Palworld, it’s possible that you’ll lose all the progress you’ve made in the last few hours.
What happens to the characters that have been created now? Anyone who already had a character on a dedicated server and has now created a new one due to the bug will lose their new character. To do this, the old character will be restored, explains Palworld’s community manager, Bucky, on the official Palword Discord.
In order for your server to receive the update, you should restart the server; the patch should apply automatically. If this is not the case, it is best to be patient. , the update process may take shorter or longer. If you’re currently updating your server anyway, you should make sure that you’ve turned off a new feature: If you’re attached to your Pals, you should avoid the new mode in Palworld – you could lose them permanently
