Character not loading. about palworld-host-save-fix

[mel0n]

Sounds like you are the host? The new guild fix seems to be causing issues for some players. More info on this issue and workarounds has been discussed here #18 . You will likely need to run the old version of the script or comment out the new guild fix code, then perform the old guild fix manually as described in that thread or on the main readme (it is currently crossed out on there)

@mel0n can you tell us which commit we should download of the .py script and use to get this working? I have tried 1-2 commits behind the guild fix #18 but I am still getting the char creation screen when joining. Following instructions to a T

Edit: It now works! I used commit d503981 for anyone needing a reference.

I was able to comment out the guild code and that got my character loaded, but I am single player, is there a workaround for single player?

sorry if this is a stupid question, but how can I download the old version of this fix? Ive been at it with the current one for like 5 hours but only the host is keeping their character. I wanna try the old version using a video guide i saw.

@jdborden23 I used this commit and I still got the char creation screen as the host. Did you have to do the trick to run the migration again on the host character? Did yours just work first try when you went back to the commit you posted?

@jdborden23 it appears after closer inspection the one you linked is the very commit they fixed the guild issue but probably also broke the level.sav for some people. I am going to try the commit before that.

I used this version and it worked, but I had to do the manual guild fix.

@shinklja you can have someone else join your save in co-op to get another person, transfer the guild to them, apply the fix, and get your guild back from them

Seeing as the creator of this issue has been able to work around this problem and we have mentions of this problem elsewhere, I'm going to close this issue. I'm working on a fix to most of these issues by correctly parsing the guild data instead of just replacing all matching instances of the GUID like the PR does.
