Palworld v1.0.2 Patches Crashes, Multiplayer Glitches, and Achievement Failures

Pocketpair has released Palworld version v1.0.2, billing it as a round of bug fixes and gameplay stability improvements.

What changed

Crashes and disconnections

• Fixed two dedicated-server issues during the Panthalus battle: one that could disconnect all players, and one that could crash the game outright.
• Fixed a crash triggered by Japanese text input in fullscreen mode.

Multiplayer

• Fixed terrain failing to display correctly for the host when a guest was already present in The World Tree area during the host's transition there.
• Fixed Tower Boss "Victor & Shadowbeak" vanishing after a teleportation attack.
• Fixed a lighting issue in the final boss battle where a respawning guest's light could fail to render if the host defeated the boss while they were waiting to respawn.

Missions

• Fixed screens remaining faded out when dialogue was interrupted mid-fade in both the main mission "The First Islander" and the sub-mission "Captured Adventurer".

Achievements

• Fixed the "Predator Hunter" achievement failing to unlock after its requirements were met.
• Fixed a Pal Effigy-related achievement failing to unlock after the required Effigies were obtained.
• Fixed two Lifmunk Effigy achievement icons on Xbox displaying outdated artwork.

Graphics and controls

• Fixed incorrect rendering of the player model's eye area during cutscenes and certain actions on specific face types.
• Added key rebinding support for "Attack that enemy!" and "Inventory".

For players who have been stalled by a stubborn achievement or derailed by a server crash mid-boss fight, this update should clear the most disruptive blockers in the game's current state.
