your Task Manager using Windows search. Go to the Processes tab and right click
on Palworld. Select End task option. Now close Task manager. Then restart your PC.
Method 3: When Palworld is stuck on the loading
screen check the game’s server status. You can check the game’s X handle or via
Discord for the server status updates. If there is any server outage then
wait for some time and check again. When the server becomes up and live
again try to load the game and see. Method 4:
The next thing you can do is disable full-screen optimization. Double-click
on This PC and go to the game installation folder. Open the game folder. Right-click on
the game exe and open its Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and
disable full-screen optimization. Next, check the box for Run this
program as an administrator. Click on Apply and then on OK to save the changes.

the game to crash or freeze. So, verify the game files and this can fix the problem.
To do so, head to Steam Library. Right-click on the Game and expand its Properties.
Click on Installed Files and select the Verify integrity of game files option.
Once the game is verified, launch the game and check.

launcher can cause the game to crash or it may have launching issues.
So launch the game from the game installation folder.
Open Steam and right click on the game. Go to Properties.
Select Installed Files and click on Browse. This should take you to the
game installation folder. Try launching the game from here.

PC are not correct then also you can have issues while launching the game.
To check that, right click on the date and time at the right corner of the
Taskbar and select Adjust date & time. Set the tie zone to Automatically.
Make sure proper time zone is selected. Toggle on the Set time automatically option.
Click on Region from the top and select the roper region.
Method 8: The next thing you can do is run

administrative privileges to run. So go to the game installation folder.
Right click on the game exe and open its properties.
Head to the Compatibility tab. Check the box for Run this
program as an administrator. Click on Apply and then on OK.
Method 9: Another thing you can do is change
the compatibility mode. To do that, open the game properties.
Then go to the Compatibility tab. Check the box for Run this program
in compatibility mode for the option. Choose a Windows version and
click on Apply then on OK. Method 10:
Make sure your graphics drivers are updated. You should always
keep them updated to avoid issues while gaming. Here is how to update your graphics drivers.
Right-click on the Windows Search button & choose Device Manager.
Go to the Display Adapters section and then expand it.
Right-click on your Graphics driver and click on the Update Driver option.
Select the Search Automatically for Drivers option & follow the instructions provided
onscreen to download & install the latest driver. You should visit the official websites of
your Graphics Card manufacturer to update your graphics card drivers.
These websites are linked in the description below.
Download the latest drivers for the graphics card installed on your computer from
these websites. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the driver installation process.
Once done, restart your system. Then open the app again to check for any updates. If any
update is available, download & install them. If you have multiple GPUs for your computer,
then make sure you use the one exclusively for gaming. This ensures a better gaming experience.
So, using the dedicated GPU for gaming can avoid issues while playing games like Palworld.
Here is how to check if you're running the dedicated graphics card. Although
this depends upon your operating system and your specific graphics card.
Press Windows key + R to launch the Run utility. Type devmgmt.msc and press Enter.
Expand Display adapters section in the Device Manager.
Here you will find the two adapters - one for your dedicated graphics
card and the integrated graphics card. The dedicated graphics card should have a longer
and more specific name than the integrated one. The dedicated graphics card may also have a higher
memory size listed. So, run Palworld with the dedicated graphics card.
Method 11: Windows updates can help resolve
issues with game performance. Also, updating Windows to the latest version
ensures your computer runs with the latest security and performance enhancements.
Type ‘Check for updates’ in the search menu and select the top option.
Click on the Check for updates button. If any update is available
download & install the updates. Restart your PC for that. Now launch the
game and see if this could resolve the issue. Method 12:
The next thing you can do is delete the Saved game file. But remember
that this will delete all your game progress. You should find the Saved file inside Documents
and then inside the Palworld game files. Or if you have installed the game under My Games
inside the Documents folder then look for that. Once you find the Saved folder, delete it. Then
launch the game and see if it is launching now. Method 13:
To change the launch options of Palworld, right click on the game from Steam.

performance and fix loading screen issues. Here we are showing how to disable Steam overlay.

it. Then select its Properties. From the General Tab, uncheck the Enable
the ‘Steam Overlay while in game’ option. Also, disable other overlay apps like GeForce
Experience, Discord, Nvidia Shadow Play overlay, or AMD Overlay.
Method 15: Another potential cause of this issue
could be firewall interference. So, you can check that by allowing the game
through Firewall and your antivirus program. Here we are showing how to allow
the game through Windows Security. Open the Windows Security
app using the Search Menu. Now, click on the Firewall
& network protection option. After that, tap on the ‘Allow an app through
firewall’ option from the right-side pane and then press the Change settings button.

OK button to save changes. Finally, you can re-launch the game file
and check if it is loading properly. If the Steam Overlay feature is disabled,

Go to the Processes tab and right-click on the processes you want to close.
Select the End Task option. Repeat the same for each task you want to kill. Then exit the window.
Method 17: Many games, including Palworld, require a
specific version of Direct X to run properly. If you have an outdated or incompatible
version, it will cause crashing, freezing, or not launching errors.
The latest version of DirectX ensures the game’s improved performance.
This is what you have to do to install DirectX. Search “DirectX runtime download” on Google
and open the first result from Microsoft.com. Select the installer language
you prefer and click on Download. Wait for the Download to finish
& then run the installer. Complete the installation and wait
for the installation to finish. After the installation completes, restart your PC.
Method 18: Installing Visual C++ redistributable can be
helpful since it includes a set of libraries that helps the game rely on and function normally.
If these libraries are missing or outdated, it leads to crashes, freezing, or
even a black screen while gaming. To install Visual C++ Redistributable, search
for Visual C++ redistributable in Google. .
Download the recently available Visual C++ redistributable.
Ensure you download for the correct architecture, like x64 for 64-bit systems
and x86 for 32-bit systems. Install the downloaded file and restart your PC.
Method 19: Usually, G-Sync and V-Sync help to
run the game with a stable screen but sometimes they can be the reason why games
like Palworld get stuck on the loading screen. So, you can disable the G-sync or V-Sync
as per your system following this guide. Method 20:
Type Advanced System settings in the Windows search menu and select the top search result.
Under Performance, click Settings. Go to the Advanced tab. Under
Performance select Settings. Go to the Advanced tab again.
Under Virtual Memory, click Change. Uncheck Automatically manage
paging file size for all drives. Choose the drive where you
want to store the paging file. Select Custom size.

In the Maximum size field, enter a value that is 3 times of your total RAM.
To check that open Windows Settings and then from the System tab select About.
Check the RAM. Once you have set the value,
click on Set, then OK twice. Then restart your system.
Method 21: It’s better to pause or stop other
background downloads while launching and playing Palworld as these downloads
can cause issues while launching the game. Once you finish your gameplay, you can continue
downloading games or installing patch updates. Method 22:
You can set the High-Performance mode for the intense gameplay for better results.
Click on the Start Menu and Type Control Panel and click on it from the search result.
Set the view by section to Category. Now, go to Hardware and Sound and Select Power Options.
