How to Fix Co-Op Achievements Not Working in Palworld

Since its Early Access (EA) launch, Palworld has captivated gamers with its unique blend of cooperative gameplay and achievement hunting. However, a vexing issue has emerged for completionists: co-op achievements are not unlocking as expected. A quick dive into Reddit reveals various players encountering this problem, with achievements being unlocked randomly in co-op mode – some as guests, others as hosts.

Fix #1: Recheck Your Achievements List

Before jumping to conclusions, it’s essential to double-check your achievements list. Sometimes, you might think you’ve met the criteria for an achievement, but in reality, you haven’t, or the achievement might take longer to register. So, ensure you’ve completed all the necessary steps and give it some time.

Fix #2: Restart Palworld

One of the simplest yet effective methods to resolve issues, including achievements not unlocking, is to restart Palworld. This approach has proved successful in various games facing similar glitches. Here’s how to do it:

1. Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open the Task Manager.
2. Find the Palworld process, “Pal,” and right-click on it.
3. Choose “End Task.”
4. Restart Palworld after it has completely closed.

Fix #3: Verify the Integrity of Game Files (For Steam Users)

For players on Steam, corrupted save files could be the culprit. To resolve this, verify the integrity of your Palworld files:

1. Open Steam and go to the “Library” tab.
2. Right-click on Palworld and select “Properties.”
3. Navigate to the “Local Files” tab.
4. Click on “Verify Integrity of Game Files.”

This process will check for any file discrepancies and fix them, which could resolve the achievement issue.

Reporting the Bug

Reporting the bug is a good idea regardless of whether the above methods don’t yield results. Join the Pocketpair/Palworld Discord server and navigate to the “Bugs-Feedback-Form” under the Palworld Help sections. Submit a detailed bug report through the provided form, outlining the specific issue with achievements.
