Black Screen on Launch

UE Pal - Exception Access Violation Crash
Some PC players may get a UE Pal Crashed - Exception Access Violation error summary when they crash to desktop while playing Palworld. While there is no official fix for it yet, a possible workaround can be to verify your game files. This is possible whether on the Steam or Xbox Game Pass version of Palworld.
BP Class Human Error Pop Up
Catching the Syndicate Thug Human and selecting the option to View Details for it in the menu results in a BPClass Human error pop up. While jarring, this is easily fixed by simply selecting OK. However, do note that after selecting this option, the Syndicate Thug will appear with a missing in-game model.
Memory Drug Reset Bug
There is currently a bug with the Memory Drug Reset item that reduces the players' Catch Power, with no way to revert it, when used. As of the moment there is no fix for this, so it is recommeded for players to avoid crafting this item and using it.
Guild Save File Deletion Bug
There is currently a bug that can cause a dedicated (or a Guild's) server to become inaccessible in Palworld. Currently, there is no solid fix for this bug yet other than to backup and delete player save files to regain access.
Make sure to follow Palworld's developers Pocketpair carefully for any updates regarding this save-affecting bug!
Controller Not Working
There are times when plugging in a control pad or controller on a PC won't be recognized and won't work. A quick fix for this is to change how the controller is connected to the PC, such as switching to Bluetooth or a wired one.
Moreover, Xbox and PS controllers usually work better and have little to no issues when used on a PC, so you might want to try them instead if you have one! This issue still persists even after the Palworld Version 0.1.1.0 Update.
All Controls and How to Change
Exit Button Missing In-Game
The exit or quit button on the PC is currently missing in the game. To solve this issue, simply go to the platform where you access Palworld and force the exit from there. You can also use the Task Manager to close Palworld manually.
However, make sure to save your progress first, as doing the methods above will not do an autosave for you. This issue is still active even after updating the game to Version 0.1.1.0.
Key Guide Display Not Working Properly
Key Guide Display not working properly is another PC bug where the Key Guide Display is not showing properly on the screen. There isn't a fix for this yet, but the developers are now working on a fix on this!
General Troubleshooting Tips
Make Sure You're Connected to the Internet
Unfortunately, Palworld is rife with connectivity issues especially when trying to join dedicated servers. Before hopping into one of the many Official and Dedicated Worlds in-game, make sure you have a strong and stable internet connection.
If playing on Wi-Fi, consider switching to a wired connection in the form of an Ethernet Cable if network connectivity issues persist while playing online.
Verify Game Files if Getting Errors After an Update
If you're a PC player and you start getting errors after a client update, then you may want to verify the integrity of your game files before taking to any help forums in search of your particular error code.
On Steam, right click the game in your Library and go to Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files. On the Xbox App (for Game Pass users), go to Palworld in your Library and select ... > Manage > Files > Verify and Repair.
Check if You Meet Requirements to Host Servers
| Dedicated Server Requirements | |
|---|---|
| CPU | 4 Cores (Recommended) |
| RAM | 8GB+ |
| Network | UDP Port 8211 (Default) Port forwarding required. |
For those looking to play on private servers, do note that the Official Palworld Tech Guide details some requirements you have to meet before you can host a dedicated server.
If you're having a tough time setting up the dedicated server on PC, make sure you meet the system requirements above and that you have a rudimentary knowledge about Port Forwarding.
