Sooo... our character data is gone?

[Bacon Overlord®]

We had to create new characters on our dedicated server and the buildings we made were there, but "owned by another guild"...

Great game.

Public server ?

It was, yes. Dedicated.

Apparently it's a "known issue" that they haven't fixed.

Their solution:

Back up your saves.

Pocket Pair knocking another game out of the park.

No problem at our end.

You're playing Pal World? Then you've seen the notice when you start the game, right?

SO, what you should be saying is, "No problem at our end, yet"

Since it's not fixed and their solution is to just back up your character/save data.

Well you made the choice of playing on a public server that isn't yours.
Live with it.
Same as using cloud saves, if it's lost because of using that feature, you accepted the possibility.

Who said it wasn't mine? Just because it's public doesn't mean I'm not renting or own it...

The problem is the game, not the server. Read the announcement.

Had the same problem with the latest version of UE4SS on the Server. Corrected version is linked in this thread: https://github.com/UE4SS-RE/RE-UE4SS/issues/405#issuecomment-2433474856
(You have to remove all the old UE4SS stuff and then use the new one.)

If, and not saying you are. If you are using mods that require additional programs, such as UE4SS, I'd recommend doing manual backups before doing a patch update. I know Palworld posts a warning that save data can disappear, but if you're altering the original files with mods, it's not exclusively their fault when you lose that save data. I run a dedicated server locally for my friends and have not once had my save data vanish after months of hosting. I'm not saying it won't happen to me, just that it hasn't. I also don't use any mods that require UE4SS or use any other program to host beyond the server files Steam Palworld provides itself.

the difference here is that u can still restore it, *probably* if u own the server but if u dont then ur screwed.

i do know the multiplayer side of palworld is pretty wonky last i tried so i wouldn't even recommend playing on purely multiplayer.

i only play on the weekends and we have to roll the server back every week over and over till we find a save with our characters on it. we use a dedicated server with 0 mods that we rent, the ip also changes every time which is just weird.

These are the same folks that ruined Craftopia so.. it's not surprising they blame their own coding problems on players and do nothing to fix it.

its an early access game, bugs are going to be expected shouldnt they?

[Dresden (Abyss)]

yeah i'm done with this game till i see they fixed the character delete bug. Just went to play and my character is gone AGAIN, every single weekend i go to play it's just gone. Probably the worst bug i've ever seen in a game and has been going on ever since i came back to play weeks ago.

have u tried restoring the save? im asking cuz ive modded my game since launch (altho i did not install mods that i know would likely break the game) and yet somehow my save is still alive, from launch lol.

there were moments where my saves were bricked somehow, but i was able to restore them. i did lose few minutes or an hour of progress thou but better than losing entire save.

I've been playing these survival craft beta games for years and years, i have over 1k hours in Ark alone, and hundreds of hours in probably a 12 others (each) so i'm use to bugs. but this is game breaking, you lose everything and have to start over unless you go through and load save by save till you find the one that still has your characters in it. and the server takes a very long time to restart, so it's just obnoxious to sift through the saves.
