The latest Palworld update may have brought exciting new content, but it also unleashed a pesky bug: the Session Search Error. This annoying glitch throws up a roadblock between you and your next Pal-filled adventure. But fear not, intrepid Palmaster! This guide will equip you with the knowledge and methods to tackle this error head-on.
How to Fix the Session Search Error in Palworld
Imagine this: you’re eager to hop into a Palworld session, ready to explore, build, and maybe tangle with a few Crabzilla. But suddenly, a red message pops up: “Session Search Error.” Disappointing? Absolutely. Frustrating? Definitely.
The good news is, you’re not alone. This error seems to be a common occurrence for many Palworld players. While there’s no guaranteed fix, there are a few methods you can try to keep the error at bay:
Restart Everything
Sometimes, a simple restart is all it takes. Close and relaunch Palworld, and give your system a reboot for good measure. This can clear temporary data that might be causing the error.
Update Palworld
Outdated versions can be buggy. Ensure you’re playing the latest version of Palworld by:
- Opening Steam and navigating to your library.
- Right-clicking Palworld and selecting “Properties.”
- In the “Updates” tab, set “Automatic Updates” to “Always keep this game up to date.”
- Let Steam update the game and try launching it again.
Disable Multiplayer (Temporarily)
If the error occurs when rejoining a world, an overloaded server might be the culprit. Try disabling multiplayer for the specific world you’re trying to access:
- On the main menu, select “Change World Settings” for your world.
- Turn off the “Multiplayer” option.
- Attempt to join the world again. Remember to re-enable multiplayer later if you want to play with others.
Verify Game Files
Corrupted or missing files can cause errors. Steam can help you fix this:
- Launch Steam and find Palworld in your library.
- Right-click and select “Properties.”
- Click on “Installed Files” and choose “Verify integrity of game files.”
- Steam will scan and potentially fix any corrupted files, hopefully resolving the error.
Create a New World (Last Resort)
If nothing else works, creating a new world might be the only way forward. While not ideal, it could potentially resolve the issue and perhaps even fix your old world in the process:
- On the main menu, select “Create New World.”
- Follow the prompts to set up your new world.
- Try to join the new world.
