"Session Search Error" Solutions In Palworld
With Palworld being in early access, encountering errors was to be expected. Still, they can be annoying as hell and the Session Search Error is no exception. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix the error, at least for the time being.
Classic: Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?
The easiest way may be the one to save you and should always be the one to try first. Restarting the game might be all it takes for you to fix the Session Search Error – make sure to close the game completely, though. Task Manager is your friend when it comes to that.
Closing every Palworld background process as well as the game itself has been helping players already. The same thing goes for your router. Restarting everything often works wonders.
If that doesn't do the trick, there are other possibilities to fix it.
Make Sure You Run The Game On Its Latest Version
Other errors have proven that there's another easy fix to some of them. Check if you have the latest version of Palworld and if not, update your game. With any luck, that's your solution to the Session Search Error.
If that's not the case, take a look at the settings of your game.
Changing The World Settings
In the main menu, you can change your world settings. Above the difficulty settings, you'll find the option to turn the Multiplayer on and off. Change the settings as needed.
Experience has shown that this method might take a few tries, but if that's still not the solution, you might want to check whether your files are corrupted or not. Here's how.
Check Your Palworld Files
To ensure that your Palworld files are not the culprit, launch Steam and go to Palworld in your library. By right-clicking, you can select "Properties" and then "Installed Files." Go on to "verify integrity of game files" and hope for the best.
If your files do turn out to be corrupted, you can try to redownload the game or restore an older save.
