steamapps\common\Palworld\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\0\RANDOMSERVERID\
- Copy

and thePlayers
folder into the other save folder type (host ↔ server). - Start the game or server.
- When prompted to create a new character, go ahead and do it.
- Wait ~2 minutes for the auto-save, then close the game/server.
- Copy the newly updated
Level.sav
andPlayers
folder from that world. - Paste them into a temporary folder somewhere on your PC.
- Open PST(PalworldSaveTools) and choose the Fix Host Save option.
- Select the
Level.sav
from your temporary folder. - Choose:
- The old character (from original save)
- The new character (you just created)
- Click Migrate.

Level.sav
andPlayers
folder from the temporary folder. - Paste them back into your actual save folder (host or server).
- Start the game/server and enjoy your character with all progress intact!
- Host always uses
0001.sav
— same UID for whoever hosts. - Each client uses a unique regular UID save (e.g.
123xxx.sav
,987xxx.sav
).
Both players (old host and new host) must have their regular saves generated.
This happens by joining the host’s world and creating a new character if none exists.
- Player A (old host) should have a regular save (e.g.
123xxx.sav
). - Player B (new host) should have a regular save (e.g.
987xxx.sav
).
- Use PalworldSaveTools Fix Host Save to swap:
- Old host’s
0001.sav
→123xxx.sav
(This moves old host’s progress from host slot to their regular player slot.)
- Old host’s
- Use PalworldSaveTools Fix Host Save to swap:
- New host’s
987xxx.sav
→0001.sav
(This moves new host’s progress into the host slot.)
- New host’s
- Player B is now the host with their own character and pals in
0001.sav
. - Player A becomes a client with their original progress in
123xxx.sav
.
- Swap old host’s
0001.sav
to their regular UID save. - Swap new host’s regular UID save to
0001.sav
.
This process lets both players keep their characters and pals intact while swapping host roles.
Issue: Changes made via the converter aren't applied or retained.
Steps to Fix:
- Close the GamePass version of Palworld.
- Wait a few minutes.
- Run the Steam to GamePass converter.
- Wait again.
- Launch the game on GamePass and confirm the updated save is working.
Cause: The save file format is outdated and incompatible with current tools.
Solution:
- Place the outdated save into Solo, Coop, or Dedicated Server mode.
- Load the game once to trigger an automatic structure update.
- Make sure the save was last updated on or after the latest game patch.
