Map exploration reset!

[DOVACAT]

I encounter my map exploration been reset. No teleports or my marks. Map simple turning black.

Any chance you migrated from a local co-op to dedicated?
If so, your map info will be reset, but your unlocked teleporters will still be there.

[DOVACAT]

No its my local game, i dont migrated nowhere.

Have you tried a backup? When you open up the game they explain how to get it, it's in the App Data folder.

But what file contain map exploration data? I played several hours after that.

[P-H]

i encountered the same Problem. shut down the game normally, shut down the Pc. bootet up the next day, logged into the game and my Singleplayer map was reset except for my base locations.
its not the big of a deal thought re-exploring is a bit annoying if you have to fly for hours to get all the teleporters back.
if teleporters would automatically "explore" part of the map around them when activated (as its the case with bases) this would be less of a Problem.

Same thing here! Did u find a way to fix it?

Same just happened to me. Sent a report but would love to know if there’s a quick way to edit the map file to remove the FoW. Tutorial got rest too and that’s annoying, albeit much less so.

Mine just did the same thing. Map exploration and teleporters reset. Tutorial as well.

It happened just after a power outage that shut my PC down. The autosave meant that I don't seem to have lost any progress at all, except for.. well, all the exploration.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I just deleted the very first world I created when the game launched and hardly played on it. When I logged in to the actual game that I was playing, my level and progress are the same but my map is completely reset and the tutorial reset to the beginning again.

Same thing happened to me, we had a power outage today and when I logged back in only my base locations are available on my map and now everything else is gone, sooo many hours of exploration down the drain and gone, very upset. I am hosting a private server through SurvivalServers.com and I did the roll back several times and tried several different backups and still all the same thing, maybe its client side code that was corrupted then?

Copy the localdata.sav file from 8A2... folder and paste into 70B.... folder.

If you can't see the files/folders you need to show hidden files.

They are there just "hidden".
open File explorer > click View> click options> Change file and Folder options> Show hidden files, folders and drives. If win11 might just be the 3 dots.

I have hidden files on already and still don't see those folders.

Step 1: disable steam cloud sync using steam settings for global, NOT just on the page for Palworld. KEEP THIS WINDOW OPEN

Step 2: go to the place where your local data was saved for the game for me it was at C:\Users<usersname>\AppData\Local\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\ long numbered file that I have data for a local save and a dedicated server save.

Step 3: Determine the one you need by looking at the date modified column, whichever one you were most recently playing will have the most recent date modified.

You should see at least two items here; a backup folder and a LocalData.sav(Some people will have more if you are running your game from your own computer instead of joining a server)

Step 4: Click on the backup folder then again on local

When you open this you will see a bunch of folders with date and time stamps, scroll to a point where you're relatively sure there wont be corruption (I noticed that the last 6 that had saved here were all less than 3 minutes apart from each other). I decided to go to a save that had been three hours prior.

Step 5: Open that folder and COPY the LocalData.sav file that is inside. I say copy because you never know if you're going to need to try this a second time like I did :p

Step 6: go back out to that original spot we saw the LocalData.sav. (if you lost where that was it was this one "C:\Users<usersname>\AppData\Local\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\ long numbered file". Paste the one you copied from your backup folder here and make sure you click "replace" when windows gives you the little pop up saying "are you sure?".

Step 7: open your game, jump on the server and check for your map. If it is there, DO NOT CLOSE THE GAME. First, alt+tab back out to your steam server settings and enable cloud sync.
This should get steam to push your local file to the server which it may pull from in the future
