Palworld Update v0.4.12 Lowers Xenolord Raid Difficulty and Fixes Crashes

Palworld version v0.4.12 scales down the Xenolord raid difficulty and fixes bugs involving stuck Pals, summoning errors, and lumbering work. The update also resolves several game crashes.

Palworld version v0.4.12 is available now, bringing balance adjustments to a major encounter along with multiple stability fixes. The patch addresses several annoyances regarding Pal behavior, summoning restrictions, and performance crashes.

Raid Balance and Combat

The Xenolord raid is less difficult, correcting an issue where the encounter was stronger than intended. Bjorn and Bastagor no longer become staggered when attacked.

Pal AI and Work Fixes

Pals no longer get stuck on oil rigs, and summoned Pals perform lumbering work correctly. Cooling work has been adjusted to produce fewer visual effects and animations, and a bug that prevented players from selecting and summoning a Pal while another was active has been resolved.

Stability

The patch addresses several unspecified game crashes and includes other minor bug fixes to improve overall stability.

Why this patch matters

Rebalancing the Xenolord encounter and fixing persistent summoning and pathing bugs makes daily base management and boss progression smoother.
