Latest Palworld update stops Pals falling asleep forever while breeding

The latest major Palworld update is live, fixing a range of crash and save data bugs while also addressing a glitch which saw your much-abused indentured munsters falling into an eternal slumber when assigned to a Pal breeding farm. I continue to wonder how much of Palworld is deliberate satire.

The new patch - that's Steam update v0.1.4.1 and Xbox update v0.1.1.4, to be precise - also tackles problems with Lifmunk Effigies not actually giving you capture probability bonuses, and introduces some anti-cheating countermeasures.

The patch is live now on Steam - Xbox and Game Pass players may have to wait a while, as per Pocketpair's previous comments about Valve and Microsoft's different certification procedures. Here are the full patch notes for you to chew on.

Major Fixes

・Fixed an issue where the game would always crash and save data would be corrupted when the total number of Pals captured by the guild reached approximately 7000.

・Fixed an issue where some weapons equipped by other players would disappear when a player used a grenade in multiplayer.

・Fixed an issue where, although the displayed capture probability increased when the capture power was strengthened with Lifmunk Effigies, the capture probability did not actually increase at all due to an
