I came here to say thank you. We had the unfortunate events of moving between hosting services and the whole linux/windows infrastructure just made things a mess. We had to restart our progress thrice. 4th times the charm but this made it so we were able to restore everyones progress and data. Massive kudos to the people involved in the project and your video!

I pretty much never leave comments, but you're the reason I was able to get the world my friends and I share off an Aussie server (that my friend was given when he paid for an NA server) and over to NA so we can enjoy a ping below 160+. Thank you so much for this. I'd looked for a few other guides and none of them had the level of detail that actually allowed me to do this. You're awesome bro, please keep it up. You've made both my game playable and my many hours of time since the 2nd day of launch not be a total fucking waste.

I ran into the infinite loading screen issue and I found out my mistake is that I was trying to drag over only the new player saves, but turns out you have to transfer the whole world folder because the script is updating the level.sav and levelmeta.sav as well which I believe contain player pal assignments. In the end, it was my fault for not following the video's steps exactly 😅

I seem to be having a similar issue as some of these other comments. Coming from a "co-op" server I was hosting (through the Palworld game client, not the dedicated server client), I watched your January 25th video and got our world and save data moved over without issue; all my friends retained their progress/pals/inventories/guild/ownership/etc, but of course being the host I did not. I've done everything in this video to a T. However myself and several others have found that even though powershell states that the fix was applied successfully, we are forced into the character creation menu when we try to join the server post-fix, as if the game is overwriting/ignoring the fix that was just applied. I've tried multiple times, tried running the fix multiple times on already fixed saves, switched the position of my original 00000000000000000000000000000001.sav and my new save when running the powershell command, and tried again several times. Yes the server was stopped each time I was moving files, it just doesn't seem to want to take. This video was super helpful, and really does seem to be the solution for a lot of people, I'm just wondering what it is that the few of us are missing or doing wrong. Might you have any other considerations, or suggestions for what I should try?

@BamsGamingStudios thanks this worked great for me, how ever it made picking up pals impossible afterwards. For others who this happens to just switch the game from fullscreen to windowed (ir windowed to fullscreen) mode and restart game.

A couple tips that I found from transferring a single player/co-op save to a Windows server after a lot of trial and error: before you transfer your save, break all of the palboxes that you have built. It causes issues with the boxes not belonging to you when you transfer the save to a server ("belongs to another guild"). You just have to rebuild them after the save is transferred and all your chests and pals will still be accessible. Also if you keep getting put into character creation when you load into the server, shut down the server and replace the "fixed" .sav file associated with your new GUID in your server save with the one that was fixed. (copy "C:\Users\John\Desktop\my_temporary_folder\\players\D27F185ET00000000000000000000000" and move to "PalServer\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\0\\players\D27F185ET00000000000000000000000")

The only think I could think of is it don’t like the 0000000000000001 character save. Can you help me please

Great Work, mate!

Is this what I need if I changed hosts of the world? I'm using trying to host my friend's world for our friends and I'm loading into his character instead of mine.

Works like a charm.

do i have to recover 1 users only? like do all of my friends have to create a new character or only 1 user is enough? and do i have to manually recover all users ? i have 8 player saves and figuring out which one is which seems nearly impossible let alone all the users can you help me ? because i tried without recovering the user files, my map is unlocked just like my old character. but i dont see the buildings or what ever will this fix it ?

Also, thank you for this video; great work! Thumbs up and subscribed :). However, I have a question, perhaps I missed something. How can I retrieve my UserID? I received the Server Folder from a friend (4Player Local, dedicated Server) with all player saves in it. I uploaded it following another one of your videos, and it worked. However, I had to create a new player. This player has my map, my waypoints, and so on, but no pals, cannot travel to the waypoints, and there's no guild, etc. (Buildings are in place). So, I wanted to fix this, but I only have the player .sav file from my friend's folder (the server files that I uploaded earlier). With a bit of a "I read the world .sav" trick, I could see which old ID was mine. But I don't know where to retrieve my newID. I think it's the part in this video where you mention, 'I'm just checking my Discord where my friend sent me his new ID.' Sorry for the long text, i hope i was able to describe my problem/question.

Hello, Thanks for the video. I had a question. I am the host of my dedicated server through the steam dedicated server tool. I wanted to erase all of my own personal data. I located my save file and erased it and that obviously deleted all of my player data and sent me back to the character customisation menu. The issue I have now is that I still have all of the data of pal's seen in the world and my base level is still high and not reset to 1. Is there further data files that need to be deleted to fully wipe my data?

You’ll need to go to your Palworld game folder and find the saved folder there. You’ll be able to locate a file named the same thing as the name on the server, it should be within a numbered file (your SteamID). Delete that and it will erase map, paldeck and tutorial data.

How long did it take you to load into the game with the updated file the first time? I got the script to run successfully and have reimported the updated file back into the server, looks like it's letting me connect but now I'm just stuck at the Now Loading screen.

This is because it also edits the level.sav, all of the player names and ids are stored there. If they get mixed up it corrupts it.

Hi I watched the video carefully and unfortunately I don't have the player folder in the "02456....." folder I only have "level" and "levelmeta", is it the first person has launched the palworld dedicated server which has this information on its pc? I am hosted on gportal and would like to transfer my save to solo

@kbdaliesofempez

Yes, whoever hosted the world originally will have the player folders. It should have come with the world if they sent it to you. You will need to take your player ID from the server, should be random string of numbers or numbers and letters, and merge that with your 0000000000000001.sav from the local save.

Get a failed to join game error after fixing and rewriting the level.sav file for the newly assigned GUIDs.

My best recommendation would be to get a clean copy of your world, as in pre transfer but with the old data, wipe your server and try the process again. As much as it sucks it’s the best we got right now as far as I know :/ Unfortunately inconsistent too as I’ve learned.

if the python script doesnt work for you in windows powershell. instead of typing python put py instead. This worked for me. I was getting a python was not found prompt.

Whenever I try to move over my character with your steps I'm left with a loading screen that just keeps loading. Not sure what I did wrong. Do both old and new files have to be in the same folder and then the new file pasted back into the server file where the new guid came from?

This has worked for Myself and 2 Friends, but I have 1 more friend that it will not work for, when he joins its prompting him to create a new character, the only thing the 3 that worked have in common is we are in the same guild, the friend that it isnt working for is in his own guild, is there something that im missing with guilds and transferring thats not working?

Hey man, I have tried everything to make this work with little to no luck. I am trying to move from Single Player world to Dedicated as a test for moving my friends Coop World we share to dedicated. I have the world moving, but my host character wont come across and so I am always met with Character create screen. Any ideas of things I may have missed? I have ensured the install of the apps is correct. The world folder (including my 000001.sav player file) are in a temp location. I Joined the server to get my New ID, and I copied that save into the temp world/player folder. Script runs without fail and leaves me with a single save with new ID. I copy that world folder (files underneath and all) into the server location (removing the previous world that was there) and then launch, but always hit a character create screen. Any assistance would be awesome.
