Hey Palians!
While our developers are working as hard as they can on improving Palia further during our Open Beta, we’ve gathered a list of known issues, bug info, and available troubleshooting steps to help players navigate the most common issues they may encounter in-game.
Gameplay and Bugs
| Issue | Notes from the team |
|---|---|
| Interacting with the wardrobe while the player's character is stuck in the “missing textures & T-posing” appearance will cause the character to reset/change appearances permanently. | At the moment, the workaround for the “T-posing” issue is to simply relog into the game. Please avoid interacting with the wardrobe, otherwise, your character will change with no way to adjust certain settings! |
| If players have full inventories and they have space in their storage, they receive a "Wow, your inventory is full" error pop-up when trying to pick up their house, or housing add-ons. | Having just one empty slot available in your inventory will allow you to move your house and housing add-ons. |
| Interactable Light settings in the player's housing plot will persist and be viewed the same by all visitors. | We are aware of a bug where the current light setting will be reversed, so what's “ON” will actually show as “OFF,” and vice versa. Please stay tuned for further updates regarding this. |
| Missing Heavy Metal Chapaa Trophy | The trophies seem to be getting ported away from the home plot as you place them down. The team is already looking for a way on how to restore the items to players who have earned the reward. |
| Referral reward items are either missing or unusable via inventory |
Rewards can be claimed in the "News" button located in your player inventory "I" menu. Once you claim your cosmetic items, you must relog before you can equip them. If this still does not work, please submit a ticket to the Support Team. |
| Quest items are sent to ‘Storage Chest’ in ‘Equipment tab’ if players have a full inventory upon receiving a quest item | For any missing quest related items, check the Storage Chest inventory first to see if the item is there. It’s possible to have run out of slots available when given an item by an NPC while doing a quest. |
| Sifuu's book during her ‘An Adventurous Memoir’ quest includes typos | Please note that this is not a bug and Sifuu is doing her best to improve on writing books. 😣 |
| Unable to find Broken Key |
Mining rocks are required to obtain the key. We also suggest checking your housing inventory as overflow items are automatically sent there, and can be hard to notice. If you have already done this quest, then it is related to data loss. Please submit a ticket to the Support Team so we can investigate further. |
| Unable to place worktable | A common workaround is pressing "H" to view your top-down housing menu, and dragging it to your plot from there. You can also try, switching to DirectX11 or relogging. |
| "Like a Bird" or glider quest | Players who were not able to progress the quest "Like A Bird” should now be able to complete it (hotfix 0.165.6). If you are still having this issue, please submit a ticket. |
| Stuck in a random location |
Please use the “/unstuck” command in chat. It should push you out into a safe location! If this didn’t work, you can also use the “Return Home” button located at the upper right part of your Map menu. |
| A Catalyzing Caper - Players are unable to locate/did not receive Sifuu’s Torch |
Please know that this can be caused by any of the following reasons: • Torch was stored in your storage chest due to having full inventory when receiving the torch • You have not successfully communed with the Phoenix statue • You might have accidentally thrown away the torch (there is an option do so, so be careful when inspecting your torch) if this happened, please submit a ticket to the Support Team. |
| Crafters stuck at “0” |
This issue is already being investigated and the team is continuously working on a workaround and permanent fix. |
| Quest items are sent to ‘Storage Chest’ in ‘Equipment tab’ if players have a full inventory upon receiving a quest item |
For any missing quest-related items, check your general inventory and lockbox storage first to see if the item is there. It’s possible that you had no slots available when you were given an item by a villager while doing a quest. |
Tech Issues
| Issue | Notes from the team |
| Server instability and lag |
This is especially noticeable upon login, when changing servers, and placing items. We are actively working on reports of server instability and lag. For more information about this, please go to our Patch Notes 0.168. |
| Login Error 404 |
Double-check that your email address and password are correct. You can also log in with your account name. If this fails, please reset your password by logging into https://accounts.palia.com/. Go to Account Management, and click "Update" next to the password field. Wait for a few minutes before trying to log into the game once more. |
| Login Error 424 | This error occurs if you are still in the lobby after we have launched a hotfix or patch. Please log out and patch up! |
| Not receiving verification emails | This is a known issue. We are working with our email provider to ensure all emails are delivered going forward. This shouldn't affect your ability to get into the game. |
| A visual issue where when playing with a smaller screen size, or in windowed mode, the clothing icons in the wardrobe display covers the “continue” button | The team is aware of this, please stay tuned for more info! |
|
Having trouble with clicking Terms of Service on the checkout page when topping up or when trying to click “pay”, nothing happens on the checkout page |
As a workaround, you can change your in-game resolution to 1280x1024 and/or you can also change the game’s display settings (ex: Fullscreen to Windowed or vice versa) |
Feedback / New Feature Request 
| Request/Feedback | Notes from the team |
|
The time it takes to cast out your fishing line has been increased, and the camera pan when reeling your fish in has been slowed. |
This change was made based on player feedback regarding accessibility. The camera also no longer moves to the right as you reel your fish in, as that causes the rod to briefly block the reticle. |
| Sushi Recipe is hard to fish 🙁 | The devs confirmed that the recipe is dropping as intended. |
|
|
There is currently no option to do this, but it is already being considered due to player demand. |
| Character Name Change | For now, we will not be processing any name changes. This could change in the future, but at the moment we are putting a pause on offering this through Player Support. |
| Character Reset | Player Support does not offer character resets for cosmetic reasons, only for progress-blocking bugs. |
|
|
The team is aware of this, please stay tuned for more info! |

Known Issues From Patch 0.167 Notes
| Link: Patch 0.167 Notes |
| ✤ Tutorial menus may pop up upon login. |
| ✤ Party members are being accidentally removed from Parties. After some time, a party member will be removed from the Party without any action from the Party Leader.

| ✤ Players may not be able to pick up their main house portion if their inventory is full - even if they have space in storage. |
| ✤ At the Daiya family farm, the front door frame is missing. It looks a little strange but we know about it and a fix is on the way! |
| ✤ When trying on clothes in the wardrobe, color swatches may appear “invisible.” You can still click on them and get the colors you want! |
| ✤ Players are unable to send messages in the Community channel if they rejoin after leaving. |
| ✤ The Whisper Chat defaults to yourself after exiting a Party. |
| ✤ Players can get stuck at cooking stations, causing timers to run out mid-recipe. |

| ✤ Players suddenly exiting the game (using Alt+F4 or crashing, for example), may still appear active and in a party despite no longer being online. |
| ✤ Game Event accomplishments should be viewed under the Game Event Page tab of the menu, but the Stamp Card will direct players to look at the standard Accomplishments tab instead. |
