Palworld is a solid take on the monster-catching and survival experience. But since the game is still in early access, and due to its success there are new players frequently trying it out, the servers are occasionally having issues. One such problem that players are facing in Palworld is the Session Search error and they need a fix.
The error follows up with different messages like OnFindSessionsCompletebWasSuccessful == false. Or FindSessions OnlineSubsystem==nullptr. Regardless of what you get the common theme is it hinders you from playing multiplayer with your friends. But worry not, below is a list of some solutions that can make the game work normally for you.
How to Fix Session Search Error in Palworld
At the time of writing this guide, there is no permanent fix for this solution, however, you can use these workarounds.
- Restart Palworld: Starting with a generic but working solution. Close the game on your Xbox or PC. Don’t minimize it to Quick Resume. PC players can also close the Xbox app or Steam. Now, restart the game, PC players can also launch it from their Xbox or Steam client. Repeat this a few times until you are able to get into the game.
- Disable Multiplayer: The other solution that can do the trick for you is to temporarily turn off Multiplayer in your World Settings. Try playing the game now to see if you still get the error. If you don’t then try enabling Multiplayer again and restarting the game. If you get the Session Search error this time then you should disable it until this issue is fixed by the developers.
- Check for Updates: If you had been playing offline previously and now decided to jump online. Chances are you might have missed some updates and are getting this error.
