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.
The latest patch has now fixed the following issues but has also led to a new infinite loading issue when attempting to connect to official servers for several players. Below you can check out the changes made in the latest patch as well as the update on the ongoing infinite loading issue:
This issue is part of the developer’s ongoing efforts to improve the gaming experience, including addressing cheats and exploits. The team at Pocketpair has acknowledged the difficulties in completely preventing all cheating immediately and is committed to focusing more on security to ensure a fair and enjoyable environment for all players. They have apologized to players affected by these issues and are working on resolving them.
The game has seen significant success, selling over 8 million copies on Steam and reaching high concurrent player numbers, making these issues particularly impactful for a large player base. The developers’ immediate focus is on fixing current issues, but they have also outlined an extensive roadmap for future updates and improvements to the game.
