Palworld Server Transfer Fix / Host Save Fix Guide

in this video I will show you how to transfer your power server save game to another server then I will show you a tool that you can use to fix the issue where it has you make a new character rather than loading your old one this is a deviation from the videos I normally make however I have seen people struggle with this issue and found an easy tool that I think people should know about all right let's get on with it I will quickly cover how to move your server save folder if you don't already know this first navigate to your power world save folder which looks like a long string of letters and numbers if this is a local co-op save it will be located here you can hit the Windows key plus r and type this into the field and hit enter Then navigate to saved save games then a folder with your steam ID and here your folder will have some random characters and numbers if you have multiple folders open them up and if it says local. saave then this is a single player world and not your multiplayer one if this is a steam server that you're going to be moving from open Steam and then right click on the pow World dedicated server option select manage and then browse local files here you'll go to PO saved save games and it'll be the random character set numbers here if this is a server from a host provider you will have to use whatever service they provide whether that's FTP or a file browser from the website once you get that folder you will want to make a backup in case any issues occur with the fix or the move so just make a copy somewhere else on your computer this is a co-op World open up the world folder the one with all the numbers and letters and delete the world option. saave file next copy that folder with all the letters and numbers to your new dedicated server location location your server should have the same file structure from where you copied the folder pal saved save games zero folder and place your world there if you're missing some of these folders like saved or save games you may have to run your server at least once for it to create these folders then you will rightclick and select rename on that folder and hit contrl C to copy the name be careful not to edit or change the name at all then we will navigate to the saved folder by going back a couple steps here go to config open up the Windows server or Linux server depending on what you're running then right click and edit the game user settings.ini file you will want to find the dedicated server names field and change it to what the folder was by hitting crl +v to paste the name that we copied then you will save this file you can go ahead and boot up your server have everyone connect and see if everything works if it does great you're done if you run into any issues with players being asked to create new characters I will go over how to fix that now whoever is prompted to make a new character have them do so and spawn into the world and then log out have them make the name of the new character the same as their old one just to make this easier then when everyone is done doing this log out and shut down the server click on the link in the description and download the latest release of eonic burns GUI tool by selecting assets and clicking the top link if you're not running your server locally you will have to download the save World folder again to your computer to run this tool you may want to make another backup here just in case anything goes wrong you don't have to have everyone log in again to create the new characters go ahead and open the tool now it may take a moment to open you will then click browse and navigate to your save World folder open it and select the level saave file here it may hang for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how large your file is and how fast your computer is it may say it has stopped responding but just give it time for brevity's sake I will be fast forward in here to when it's completed next you will then be shown two Fields the top one you will select the old character the one that you want to keep and the bottom one you will be selecting the new character that everyone just made the bottom character should normally be the level zero character the top will be the higher level one then click migrate and accept the warning that pops up again this process can take a long time so if it becomes unresponsive just wait it out I will skip ahead here again just to save time once it's done you will either see this option or it will close out by itself you will then have to do this for each player on the server that was having this issue once this has been done again if you're not running this locally you will now have to move this folder back to your server you can go ahead and start it up have everyone log in and make sure that all of their saves are correct this also does fix the issue that people were having with the old tool where they could not pick up their Pals after running this yanic burn is the one who created this gooey tool that uses the power world host save fix made by xnl so I want to thank both of them for making these fixes if you enjoyed this video or found it
