Palworld Server Transfer Fix / Host Save Fix Guide

[@PhyrexTechs]

For people who get notices that this is a virus from your browser, anti-virus, or Windows: It's always a good idea to use caution with .exe's you download. I scanned with Hybrid Analysis with the report here: www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/39e94bd6ee3f14949efd197ea9b60b4c61448d423d7112c9ddf601ac09a656c1 You can view in the sandbox report what files it is editing and affecting and they all seem to be related to just palworld. Programs like this, which are made by community members that edit files on your system, will most of the time raise red flags with these virus scans. I have not seen anything that I would deem malicious. The creator of the tool has also commented on this here: github.com/JannikBirn/palworld-host-save-fix/issues/28#issuecomment-1940746919 He does provide a way on how you could run the tool without using the .exe however I have not done that myself and would not be able to help with that process. I always encourage a healthy amount of skepticism. If you learn anything else please report it.

I have seen where other players can login with no issue and other times the tool will need to be run for each player. All they need to do is try to connect and make a new character if asked to then logout so whoever has access to the server files can run the tool.

My problem is this: My friend who was hosting the server locally wasn't playing much these days so I couldn't play either, so I had him transfer his save file to me, that also means I replaced my own world with his world, and even though my character's save exists within that save file, I am now playing as his character instead of mine, how do I become my character again?

[@PhyrexTechs]

You would want to run this tool on level.sav of the world you want then choose your character file as the top option then your friends character as the bottom option

[@ultrakiritsugu]

@@PhyrexTechs would it get rid of his progress? Or just remove him for me?

[@PhyrexTechs]

I would effectively be overwriting his character. If you want him to be able to keep his data he would first need to connect to the world when you are hosting it and then you would run the tool to merge his old character with his new one. Then you could login and it should have to make a new character and you could merge yours onto that new one.

Then i am confronted with Wrong ID or .. depending on the chaotic amount of steps one could do to solve it.. stuck in character creation.

Thank you for this. I been trying to go from co-op to dedicated server. At 1:26 you said to open the dedicated server files, but then at 1:48 it jumps with a folder thats opened. What exactly did you open, the co-op folder or the dedicated server folder? I dont see a WorldOption in my dedicated server but I do see one in the co-op. However im asking because right before 1:48 you were talking about the dedicated server so im a bit confused. TY.

[@PhyrexTechs]

I was showing the different ways to get to the world save folder. At 1:26 I am showing a file browser on a dedicated host server provider. At 1:48 I am showing the opening of the co-op folder that was opened by following these instructions at 0:38. Sorry if that is confusing

[@KlaviersAnthology]

Thank you and excuse me for the question but, wanting to just get the co-op data from a pc to another, thus resulting logging in from the 2nd pc as the character A from the 1st pc (we don't want that) should we use this save fix program to migrate the saves from one another so that it recognises the character B from the second pc as the host now, or is there a faster solution to just change the host being the character B so that the character A can now log in having his progress?

[@inkraze6139]

So quick question, my friend has a coop save with me and we want to put it onto a hosted server (gportal), so we need to make the server on gportal run it once, then put in our 'old' savegame where it should go on the servers directory copy the name and change the dedicatedservername thing, try to connect and if we get a new character issue we run the fix tool? Does it also affect who hosts it even if we both have access to the gportal server hub?

[@PhyrexTechs]

When you try to connect after doing everything you said, if it asks you to create a character go ahead and make on. Then log out close the server and download/move server save folder back to your computer and run the tool targeting the level.sav file for that and it should work for the host also. It should not matter how many people have access to the gportal server.

[@Syman345]

I’m not good at this stuff and I use nitrado, I’ve been trying to transfer my co-op world to a dedicated server for almost four hours and it hasn’t been working any advice?

[@PhyrexTechs]

I forget exactly how Nitrado has things setup but ill try to go off memory. So what I would do is: Start with a fresh Nitrado install, meaning uninstall the palworld server and reinstall it or do a reset of the server. Start the server up and login and make a character so it creates all the folders on the server side. Then turn the server off and delete all the files in the world folder it created, Should be located somewhere like this (Pal\Saved\SaveGames\0\ABC123....) then go to your co-up world folder(folder with random letters and numbers) and copy over all the file inside to the server world folder, so the Players folder and the level.save files. Then boot the server up and login and make new characters if it asks you to. spawn into the world run around for just a minute or so and log out and power down the server. Then download the world folder from Nitrado server to your computer(the folder with the random numbers and letters) Run the save fix tool follow the instructions of the video. When it is done delete the world folder from the Nintrado server and upload the one from your computer. This should fix it. I hope.

If it is asking if you want to overwrite then it is not finding 2 separate character files and that will cause an issue. The only time I have seen this is if the other Save-Host-Fix has been tried as that would have combined the character files already. Or for some reason the character file was not created.

Sorry if this has been answered already. But will this character creation fix work if I try to keep the same server host after experiencing the character creation issue? Or does that step only work on those who wish to transfer their saves to new server hosts?

I have seen an issue where for some reason when players join and make a new character it creates a new file but also deletes the old one. Compare the files in the current Players folder after people have made new characters to your Players folder in your back up save and see if there are player files missing. If so drag them over from the backup to the current Player folder and run the tool again for the other players.

...Cause I rll can't get my head around this character swap. I think that the save fix won't do it.

Also if try to migrate the other character's data to the host's data what will happen to the host's data? Can you help?

[@PhyrexTechs]

It's not something I have tried, so I can't give a definitive answer. If it's possible to use the tool I would say you have the old host login and make a character first. Then run the tool to transfer the old host data to their new character. Then the new host logs in and make a character and you transfer their old character to the new one. If that does not work the only other choice is that Reddit post I sent you. Just make sure to back up your save data before trying anything.

[@mAxx_3011]

I dont know why but after I used that tool I couldnt access nitrado dashboard anymore. After I remevoed the folder where the tool was used in, all worked again. Seems like Nitrado is somehow blocking whatever this tool does

[@PhyrexTechs]

What the application does: Merges old character save file to new character file. Converts the level.sav file to json so it can then edit the character information and clean up any duplicate guilds that were created by having to make that 2nd character. Then converts it back to the level.sav Nothing crazy enough to affect Nitrados dashboard. Just did a quick search on Twitter and there are some people upset they could not use the website around the same time you were having issues. twitter.com/TB_Trucking/status/1753340462008508656 So I think it might have just been a coincidence.

If you compare the Players folder now after making a character with the Players folder of your backup do you see any files missing or that have been replaced?

[@DualDier]

So I tried it again and the new player .sav did show up however it still doesn't show the new char in the tool.

[@DualDier]

@@PhyrexTechs so I figured it out! I had to run the server once by itself without moving my server data over, it created a directory that says "0" and I had to throw my save files in there. After that, it saw my new character and the tool worked! Thanks for your help.

Hey i kept getting virus warning about the tool that you showed in the video. Just making sure that it's ' 100% safe right? Cuz I showed a message of macious and stuff.

[@PhyrexTechs]

It's always a good idea to use caution with .exe's you download. I scanned with Hybrid Analysis with the report here. www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/39e94bd6ee3f14949efd197ea9b60b4c61448d423d7112c9ddf601ac09a656c1 You can view in the sandbox report on what files it is editing and affecting and they all seems to be related to just palworld. With programs like this, that are made by community members that edit files on your system, will most of the time raise red flags with these virus scans. I have not seen anything that I would deem malicious. Thanks for reporting your findings and if you learn anything else please report it. I always encourage a healthy amount of skepticism.

I got the save files from gportal back to my dedicated server, got the world save but after the toolfix transfer it still doesnt migrate my levels to the new character (even though the tool ran succesfully)

[@PhyrexTechs]

So after you run the tool, is it asking you to make another character or does it just log you back into the new character you made before running the tool.

[@ZelestPolicarpio]

Hi! So I moved to a new dedicated server. When it asked me to create a new character and spawned, my FPS was 60. But then when I migrated my save file, everywhere my migrated character go, it is 18-27 FPS. Is there a way to fix this?

[@PhyrexTechs]

Have not seen a way to fix that. Maybe try again from a backup if you have not tried that already.

[@oofouchbonehurtingjuice]

Trying to do the reverse and trying to pull off my character from a dedicated server to a single player server so I can keep all my work as my friends have stopped playing and having a hard time grasping how to path the save information I have into a single player world?

[@PhyrexTechs]

Hmm, I have not done it myself but you should be able to just go to one of the single player world folders delete everything in there(back it up first if you care about it) and drag everything from the multiply player server folder into it. If it has you make a new character when you try to join it you can try this tool.

Hey man did u manage to figure it out? Im tryna do this before my server bills me again in 2 Days lol

Glad you liked it!

[@nathannguyen28]

Hi I used the tool and followed the instructions of the video. When it finishes migrating the tool closes and when I boot the server and log on I still need to create a new character

[@PhyrexTechs]

You will want to check a couple things. If this is on a server host make sure you are deleting the world folder from the server before putting the world folder you ran the tool on back onto the server. If this is a corrupted character issue the tool with not fix that issue.

[@GsxrChex]

So I am migrating my multiplayer server that runs off my PC to GPortal. I got as far as my map being correct. The problem I still have is our characters transferring. When using the tool, it does not show the brand new characters we created. (When we load into the server, we are prompted to create a new character, which we did, as said in the video). We still cannot bring our characters over. Any idea?

[@PhyrexTechs]

After you create the character run around in the world then log out and make sure new files are being created in the Players folder before shutting down the server then downloading the folder back to your computer to run the tool.

[@GsxrChex]

@@PhyrexTechs okay man, after downloading the folder to run the tool, how will it modify the folder on the gportal files? Or do I download the folder, run the program to modify, then reupload the folder to overwrite server file? Appreciate the help though!

[@PhyrexTechs]

Yeah you will have download the folder back to your computer. Then run the tool. then reupload the folders.

[@sneci2458]

the "pal" folder got no "saved" in it, only binaries content and plugin, i cant find any "saved" folder related to the game, even if i browse local files from steam

[@PhyrexTechs]

Is this on the new server/world you are trying to move to? If so you may need to run the server once to make the folders. If this is your old world you are trying to move, What kind of server was it? Co-op?

When I try to start the "palworld-host-save-fix.exe" the error message appears: this app cannot be executed on the pc. What can I do?

Hmm, I have not see that one before. Only things I can think of is that something is blocking it like an antivirus. Or your system is missing some requirements/dependencies. Not sure what those would be though.

[@carlomorgan6440]

the tool crashes and doesnt seem to work anymore

[@quanvu6357]

My friend hosted the server on his pc and then he sent me a file with random numbers and characters. When I host, only I can access the server (the character remains the same) and other friends who have played that server before cannot connect. Is there any way to solve it?

[@PhyrexTechs]

When you say they cannot connect, are they getting an error when connecting? If so have you forwarded your ports?

[@itzcyclonez]

so is there a way for me to transfer to save file from gravel host (the dedicated server host) to my local files so I can just continue playing the world by myself? My friends dont play anymore so no need to have a dedicated server anymore

[@PhyrexTechs]

You should be able to do that by just copying the save data into your local save folder. If you have any issues with it loading your character correctly you can try this tool to see if it fixes it.

[@KuyaPhain]

Can you use this to bring a character to your private world? And what’s saved exactly? Pal box, base, stats, items?

[@PhyrexTechs]

This is specifically to fix the issue that happens when moving a co-op or multiplayer world. As far as I know you cannot move characters between worlds at least not with this tool.

[@joshuasaucier8054]

quick question: if i am playing on my friends world on xbox can i move my character to its own dedicated server i created on steam, using a game pass extractor?

[@PhyrexTechs]

As far as I know you can't move character from one server to another without a lot of work. The best thing to do would be to have your friend use the Gamepass extractor and send you the world file then you can host it.

[@joshuasaucier8054]

ok thanks will try@@PhyrexTechs

[@s0m317]

Hey, I've been scratching my head for hours trying to fix the character save issue. I followed your tutorial to the letter: When i created the new world it had the map data from the save but had to create a new char. So I did, downloaded the folder from the server, ran the tool and everything was working fine, then when I re uploaded the new folder and ran the server, it asked me to create a new character again! I checked the players folder, after the first creation a new file appeared, but after the second creation there wasn't a new file. Im using low.ms as host and migrating from co-op to dedicated. One thing i read was that pal viewing cages don't work on dedi servers and we had one in our co-op world, could that be the reason nothing is working? The map data is always there relative to my old character but everything else is gone (including buildings) Im so lost and at my wits end, is there something I'm missing ?

[@PhyrexTechs]

Sometimes I have found deleting files before replacing them helps. So if you have your backup save available, what I would do is Turn off the server Go to the server host and delete all world folders (folders with level.sav in it). Take your backup and upload it to the host. Turn on the server Look at the players folder and take notes how many files there are Try to login to the game world and create a character if asked. Check the players folder again to make sure a new file was created and no old files were overwritten. If so power the server off and download the whole world file to your computer Run the tool like in the video on the download folder Back on the host delete the world save folder again then reupload it with the fixed version Turn the server on and try to login Hopefully that helps if not I'm not sure what would be causing the issue.

[@s0m317]

Im pretty sure I exactly did that yesterday and it didnt't work, only thing I did differently today was delete the localdata.sav file and it seems to have worked. Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer to all these comments you're a king!!@@PhyrexTechs

hey! I followed everything up until the character migration part. I have a dedicated server from indiff broccoli and created a new character. the save shows up in the websites directory but when i try to migrate old characters, only the old ones show up, not the lvl 0. what am I doing wrong?

[@PhyrexTechs]

Make sure you are downloading the World save folder from Indiff broccoli to your computer and run the tool targeting that folder then when done you have to reupload the folder.

@@irvinrrix8022 If it is prompting you to overwrite, that means the new player file and the old player file have the same code and this is an issue.

Hi, I just want to ask if this is possible. Im playing with my friend and she is the host. We play it via xbox app. But most of the time I cant play by myself since she is always at work and we need the host to be online for me to play. Is it possible to copy all of the progress I made with her multiplayer to my own single player world?

[@PhyrexTechs]

This is not something I have tried. I don't think it would work as single player because worlds seem to be setup differently. If this is a co-op save you could have your friend send you the world save and you would then just run it yourself as a co-op game and play by yourself. I'm not sure how the file structure is setup on Gamepass though.

[@Jayl3oy09]

No longer working as of latest patch. worked before for myself and one other player in server. Today another returning player joined and I tried to merge and kept getting an error that the process failed due to unhandled exception

[@PhyrexTechs]

It has still worked for me with the latest patch. There might be some other causes but I'm not sure what it would be.

[@Jayl3oy09]

Not sure I've done it a few days ago no problem. Now when I try to add another returning player the command window states that this profile already exists etc then tells me to type y/n to continue in the command window and then proceeds to fail. I didn't notice the fail originally and when restarting the server with the "failed" file it actually made EVERYONE recreate a new character. It didn't just affect the one player that I was attempting to merge. The world data remained intact as all bases were still there. @@PhyrexTechs

[@PhyrexTechs]

That's odd. It sounds like that players character file could have been corrupted and because the game could not load it, they were forced to make a new character. Then it did not give them a new character file and just replaced the old one, so it could not be merged. Not for sure that is what happened but I have seen that before. Only thing you can try is to load a backup before you ran the tool the most recent time.

[@thisisfrosty]

So I did this and everything worked great last night..now tonight when I log in it takes me to creating a character again. Is that because I closed the server on steam?

That should work. The cloud saving syncs with what files you have on your computer. So the files on the computer should be the same on the cloud.

If that is an official server, it is not something that can be done. You need access to the character and world files. Official servers do not allow that as it would allow people to easily cheat by editing it.
