How to Fix Crash on Launch after Sakurajima update in Palworld

The developers are aware of a reported Palworld UE-PAL crash impacting some players and are actively working on a solution. In the meantime, various troubleshooting steps have been shared by the community to potentially address the issue:

1. General fixes like verifying game files or updating your graphics card drivers are always good first steps.
2. In-game overlays like Discord or Steam Overlay can sometimes interfere. Try disabling them to see if it resolves the crash.
3. If you can launch the game but it crashes upon entering your world, try disabling multiplayer settings. This has been a successful workaround for some players experiencing the UE-PAL crash.
4. Mods can sometimes conflict with game files. If you have any mods installed, try uninstalling them and launching the game.

PC gamers with Intel 13th/14th gen CPUs might be experiencing crashes due to reported compatibility issue causing shader problems. Here’s a quick explanation:

1. Power Surge: Motherboard might send too much voltage, causing instability.
2. Auto-Overclocking: Some motherboards auto-boost performance but can lead to crashes in games like Plaworld.

If that may be your problem, the best course of action is to check for BIOS update or manually lower your CPU’s clock speed. However, this is only recommended for advanced users who understand the potential risks involved in modifying these settings.
