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.

This worked perfectly before the Sakurajima update since I used it to transfer from cloud server to a local machine server. However the character save transfer currently no longer works probably because the host fix wasn't updated and there were too many changes in the Sakurajima for character customization.

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.

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.

why host save fix doesnt work?

[@Thanksowen]

sorry after i transfer i can't lift or interact with the pal in base how can i save it?

[@PhyrexTechs]

I know the older Host-save-fix did cause this issue. However, this program has fixed that and should not cause it. If you are running into it after running this tool you may want to take one of your backups and try again. If you got this issue from the old tool there is a way to fix it however it involves using the Palworld-Save-Editor and requires you to have VScode installed. Let me know if this is something you want to do and I'll write the process out for you.

[@Thanksowen]

Is this work for local coop to local coop?

@@Thanksowen You should be able to with an additional step. Will it be a different person hosting or is this from GamePass to Steam? After players have made new characters and everyone logs out.

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

[@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.

Then During exporting JSON files It fails and said something like "failed to execute script gui due to unhandled exception"

[@PhyrexTechs]

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.

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.

[@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.

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. Nitrado and other server hosts have been struggling with demand and keeping their servers and websites working with the demand of palworld.

@@PhyrexTechs But isnt it weird that after I deleted the folder through filezilla i could access again. I did it twice. And each time after using the tool I couldnt access the dashboard but as soon as I deleted the folder I could access again. Mega weird ^^

[@PhyrexTechs]

@@mAxx_3011 Yeah that is odd. Did you shutdown the server, download the world save file to your computer, run the tool on your system, then move the world save folder back to the Nitrado server?

@@PhyrexTechs Yes and no. I downloaded the world to my pc. run the tool. used filezilla to bring the world back to nitrado but couldnt access the dashboard nor the server. so i couldnt even start the server again. and yes i had it shut down before :/

@@mAxx_3011 The only thing I can think to try is to use their web file manager to upload the world save after running the tool to see if you have the same issue. And if you do delete the folder again from your FTP connection.

[@kanzaki77]

I can't load multiple level.sav into the tool, the last one will always overide the old one in the dropdown list. ex. load aaa.sav and load bbb.sav, when it finished I open the dropdown list , it always shows bbb.sav --- I was success in first time. But it goes wrong when I use it again.

Oops, never mind. I forgot to copy other files to target folder.

I'm having an issue with transferring my friends' character save. Mine worked fine, the map reset but no biggie, however when I try to do it with my friends character when I click on the two characters (the one to migrate and the lvl. 0 to overwrite) right after I click the "migrate" button it closes and doesn't migrate the character. Any idea on how to go about this?

[@PhyrexTechs]

Other people have reported issues like this. The only way I have found that can sometimes work is to: Take your backup you made before running the tool for the first time and do the whole process again however transfer your fiends character first then yours.

[@MIAssasin]

I was able to transfer over the map. But when I start a new file, it completely overwrote my old character in the save file so I don't see an option to select my old save file... Any ideas on how to continue?

[@PhyrexTechs]

When you started a new character and it overwrote your old character file did it give you a new file number? If so you can then drag your old character file into the Players folder and then run the tool.

[@coni3000]

after the recent updates this methos encounters an error, could it be that the proyect of this aplications is discontinued? the last version was released on february 3rd. im afraid that there is no other method to recover player progress other than this app. :( is there a discord? some kind of support?

Not sure if the new update broke something but everytime I try and run the palworld-host-save-fix I can get to the point of pressing migrate but then the whole thing just closes without doing anything, anyone else having this issue since the new update? TIA

Confirmed working. Just tested moving dedicated -> dedicated both servers on the new update. Is it giving you any error messages in the console before it closes?

@@PhyrexTechs it sure does, Says the save path doesn’t exist even tho it’s 100% correct and it also says name error name ‘exit’ is not defined Lastly I get failed due to execute script gui due to unhandled exception I don’t understand how the file path says it’s wrong when it’s most definitely correct any ideas?

[@PhyrexTechs]

When I have seen this before it is because the file name for the characters to be merged are the same file. Is it asking to overwrite the a file when you click merge? The only reason I know of why this happens is when merging has been tried before either manually or by xNul's tool.

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?

[@PhyrexTechs]

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.

[@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.

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?

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

My wife is playing Palworld in my account, I created a new account for her and bought the game (again), I chose to save my files into the cloud, but I would like to transfer the player savings to the new account, but I'm not sure if those files into my windows user appdata will work considering the cloud savings... Could someone help ?

[@PhyrexTechs]

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.

Can you look at the players folder before and after people are making character to make sure new files are being created?

[@TyraLetzPlayz]

@@PhyrexTechs yes, one file for every new char we make, two in total. made it show up (didn't place my world in 0/numberfolder that's why he created the new character files in another directory.) after that i can migrate the characters, but the server wants us to create a new character anyways as soon as we connect to it now. i don't know whats causing this and i hate it :(

[@PhyrexTechs]

So when you make a new character not only does it make a character file it also adds character data to the level.sav file. So the new character have to be made while loaded into the world on the save you want to migrate them on. I hope I understood what you meant.
