Palworld's Guide to Recovering Lost Save Data: Mastering the Art of Retrieval

How to Retrieve Lost Palworld Save Data on Your PC

Losing your Palworld saved data can be a real bummer, especially after a PC crash or sudden shutdown. But fear not! We've got you covered with some simple steps to roll back and recover your cherished world.

Step 1: Locating Palworld's Save File

First things first, let's hunt down where Palworld keeps its precious save files on your PC:

• Navigate to Local Disk (C:)> Users> (your username).
• Click on 'View' in the taskbar below the address bar, and make sure to enable 'File Name Extensions' and 'Hidden Items'.
• Now, journey through AppData> Local> Pal> Saved> SaveGames.

Once you've reached this treasure trove, you'll encounter folders adorned with random numbers, each housing your saved data. Dive into these folders; you'll notice one adorned with more random numbers and letters. Amongst them lie the realms of your creations and adventures, each marked by the time they were last modified.

Step 2: Seeking Backup Salvation

Here's where the real magic happens:

Venture into the corrupted world folder and uncover the hidden gems within the "world" and "backup" folders. Inside the "world" folder lie backups of your realm, waiting to be rediscovered.

Dive into the abyss and unearth the second or third latest backup from the depths, ensuring you steer clear of the freshest one; it's likely tainted by corruption. In multiplayer realms, where camaraderie flourishes, you may stumble upon a "local" folder alongside the "world" domain. Remember, fellow adventurers must also heed this sacred rule.

Within these hallowed halls, you'll encounter a 'Player' folder and two precious save files. Gather these artifacts and journey back to your world's haven, the folder adorned with random letters and numbers. Merge these worlds by pasting the copies, bravely clicking 'Replace the files in the destination.'

Now, with bated breath, relaunch Palworld and find yourself at the World Select screen, where your once-lost world shall rise anew. Should the skies remain cloudy, revert to older backups and embark on the journey once more.
