Palworld - Saves converting out of date (June) #169

Open bullfrogberry opened 3 months ago

bullfrogberry commented 3 months ago

As of June 27th Palworld has added an option to host dedicated servers for xbox gamepass. it uses the same save and file structure as the steam version now. But some time ago Palworld changed how they saved the world files. When I and others use this XGP extractor with Palworld it is an old save from months ago. I have been seeing a possible solution using https://github.com/cheahjs/palworld-save-tools but also have been unsuccessful. Can the XGP extractor be updated to find a solution to fix this problem?

osterac commented 3 months ago

Yeah, it's not working for me either. Converted save won't load, game hangs, empty log file. Edit: attached gamepass save file

I don't have as much technical knowledge as I would like on this subject but what I can figure that this XGP extractor is not completing the new updated level file in the level folder correctly/corrupting it, or the file truly needs to be converted to a JSON and back and renamed to level.sav and that program cant understand the new world format.

Silvers12 commented 3 months ago

Same here, i don't have level.sav but Level\01.sav ... Rename the file doesn't work.

Czymczon commented 3 months ago

Same problem here. I hope for an update soon.

Z1ni commented 3 months ago

So if you take the extracted Level/01.sav file and rename it to Level.sav and place it in the folder with the other files, it doesn't work?

abeasst commented 3 months ago

So you don’t even get the 01.sav in save extracts. It doesn’t extract any files that are up to date in palworld. The latest extracts I’ve been able to get are from April.

Does it extract any files? What files are there? I'm understanding from the other comments that there's still Level\01.sav. Can you zip up your wgs folder under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\PocketpairInc.Palworld_ad4psfrxyesvt\SystemAppData and share it?

abeasst commented 3 months ago

It doesnt extract anything past 4-22. All save files after that date don'e get extracted at all. wgs.zip

Do you play on a server? It seems that your recent wgs files don't contain anything but the LocalData.sav files. If the game doesn't download the level data etc. to your computer, there's nothing the save extractor can do. If those saves are local, I don't know where the game is storing the level data, as it's seemingly not in the wgs data as per your files.

I play on xbox. This is extracting from my computer that uses the xbox app.

RPMC-Marco commented 3 months ago

I am getting the same problem as well, I was playing locally with 2 friends and am now setting up a dedi server, however when I extract the game from my game pass PC and move it over, the save is from months ago

13adman commented 3 months ago

I have been having this problem since the update too. The tool extracts all the info for LevelMeta.Sav , LocalData.sav and the folders for players and level are there, but the Level.sav file is missing. if I run the tool on an old world that I haven't played since the update it pulls through all the info and can be successfully ran on the steam version. It seems that something within the update has changed the way the Xbox saves work and is preventing the tool from generating all the info.

I have the same problem, the save of the world and the character are previous, the same for the pals and the palbox, however the learned technologies are unlocked, despite my character being downgraded to lvl 39

xoanaaa commented 2 months ago

I have the same problem too

kinghawn commented 2 months ago

seems like everyone's having the same problem with the "level.sav" file not appearing. hopefully they can fix this soon.

OtroGaato commented 2 months ago

i found a fix involving a conversion of the file 01.sav found in Levels Folder https://www.reddit.com/r/Palworld/comments/1c04l6t/comment/kyui2be/ i just tried and works great

Worked for me. Thanks!

doesn't work for me,

the entire save is previous, whether it is the pals, the saving of the world and its camps, only the appearance of the character (physical and not equipment) and the skill tree are good

Oddly I still unlock recent successes like the oil platform, while a large part of the backup predates this exploit

CacheCream commented 1 month ago

I am having the same issue! I really hope someone finds a solution.

NC12001 commented 1 month ago

After 6 hours somehow I was able to transfer my xbox gamepass save to steam without it being outdated, but after a hour trying to recreate whatever solution I did in a video, I just could not do it again.

What I can tell you guys is that I was able to get my current save from my xbox gamepass palworld doing these steps in the video below.

The problem is putting these game files into steam, what happens is that it will force me to make a new character when I load my xbox save into steam. After hours of doing random things like replacing the Level.sav and everything in different orders after a while something just worked and my save was loading and not forcing me to make a new character. Very sorry for not knowing what I did but hopefully you guys can make use of the video I made.

TLDR: The video below will show you how to get ur current palworld save and not a outdated save. As to how to get this save to work with steam I have no idea, I made it work with my steam but I forgot what steps I took to get it to work (without it making me make a new character upon loading my world)

Feel free to ask any questions

EDIT: I used a pal editor https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/104?tab=description edited my Level.sav (01.sav) edited a pal, saved it, and put it in the steam saves ,and maybe thats what made it work?? sorry for not remembering JACK
