Some Palworld players are getting a Saving InProgress Cannot Start Save World Data Error when the game attempts to autosave. Unfortunately, as the message suggests, this error can prevent your data from being saved, making it more worrisome than your typical connection issue. We’ll look at what might be causing the World Saving InProgress error and possible fixes below.
Is there a fix for the Palworld World Saving InProgress Cannot Start Save World Data error?
It seems as though the Palworld World Saving InProgess Cannot Start Save World Data error is on the server side, so there’s no fix for it on your end. We recommend that if this error occurs, you do one of two things:
- Continue playing the game until the issue resolves itself.
- Exit the game ASAP.
These are two radical extremes, but either one of them can avoid the central issue, which is potentially losing progress.
When you get the Palworld Save World Data error, it doesn’t actually kick you out of the game. You can press OK and continue playing. Obviously, you’ll run the risk of losing progress, but according to reports, the issue may clear up. If this is the case, autosaving will start working normally, and you won’t see the error message again.
However, if you’re worried about losing progress, you should exit the game as soon as you can. There’s no certainty the issue will clear up, so this solution is the only way to negate its impact.
Unlike the server errors we’ve seen with the game, this one is a bit more rare and doesn’t necessarily happen to everyone at once. The servers don’t have to be down for it to affect players, and the message might appear only once and never appear again. Unfortunately, its sporadic nature makes it one of the more frustrating problems you may have to deal with when playing Palworld.
