Palworld continues to rise in popularity, with the team announcing last night they hit 19 million sales across Steam and Xbox. Pocketpair recently revealed their Palworld roadmap to show what big features they’re planning on working on in the immediate future, but that doesn’t mean they’re not still working away at the more pressing issues currently facing the game.

A new patch has just been released for Palworld on Steam (and will soon be released on Xbox when it’s ready) featuring a huge array of bug fixes, and we’ll recap all of them for you.

Pocketpair/GLHF

The full patch is 1.2GB in size on Steam, and contains the following bug fixes:

Major Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the game would crash under certain conditions
• Fixed an issue where if another player’s pal/base pal had HP 30% or less, it could be captured by using a sphere.
• Fixed an issue where enemy pals would get stuck in walls due to charge attacks.
• Implemented the first fix for an issue where the game would always crash and save data would be corrupted when the guild’s total number of pals captured reached around 7000.
• *The game no longer crashes even if the total number of captured objects exceeds 7000
• However, save data that has already been in this state (in the case of a server, the server’s world data) prior to this update will still be unable to load.
  We are continuing to work on fixing this issue permanently.

Key Configuration

• *Further improvements are currently planned, such as support for interact key configuration.

• Fixed an issue where manual work assignments could not be set at all under certain circumstances.
