The latest patch for Palworld, version 0.1.3.0, was released to address several issues, including bugs and cheating on official servers. However, this update has led to a new problem for players: an infinite loading issue when attempting to connect to official servers. The patch aimed to fix a bug where the loading screen did not end when logging into the world, among other issues. Despite these efforts, players are still encountering extended loading times, which seem to be related to server load issues due to a high number of concurrent logins following the patch.
