Palworld v1.0.1 fixes a save-data loss bug and a lingering campfire burn
Palworld’s first update after v1.0, patch v1.0.1, went live on July 15, 2026. It’s a bug-fix patch with no balance or content changes — but one of the two fixes is worth updating for on its own.
What changed
Per the official patch notes, v1.0.1 fixes:
- A bug where save data could be discarded unintentionally under a specific sequence of steps.
- A bug where the burning status kept ticking after touching a campfire.
Why it matters
The headline is clearly the save-data fix. v1.0 overhauled core systems across the game, so shipping a fix for data-loss reports within five days of the full launch is reassuring. If you’ve had anything resembling that symptom, get on the latest version before you play on.
The campfire bug was the quieter kind of miserable — you couldn’t put the fire out, and your HP drained a little at a time until something gave. Anyone who kept mysteriously burning to death at their own base is covered by this one.
