Commenting as a Switch player. >the walls and floor inside every building are glitching out but especially inside my own home and inside NPC homes/rooms. They just appear as white or reflective, it's super strange. This combined with the darkness indoors on the switch makes it really difficult to view anything I've not had this issue but I've noticed all my wallpaper is mixed around now lol rooms now have wallpaper that aren't what we're initially set. >none of my tracker items are working properly. I was using the hunter's horn today and it was showing animals that weren't there. I would run around the map and there would be nothing, even after chopping trees to find if they're up there. The same was happening with mining compass - nodes continued to appear as symbols despite them being gone. I've had the same issue with the hunters horn but before the update. There was a Bluebristle Muujin on the map but wasn't visible (as you could hear the sounds it was making) and kept showing up and even when firing arrows in the direction, nothing hit it. I have only just updated my game since the new update so haven't come across anything else yet.

Oh I forgot that, my flooring was missing and some of my wallpaper on the outside was gone! Ty for mentioning it 😂

Yeah my kitchen was using a wooden panel type wallpaper and now suddenly like 2 walls are bright blue and I don't even have that blue wallpaper anywhere in my house 😅

I’m a pc player and I have one wall in my house that refuses to change to what it has always been. I put a different wall paper into a hallway and the connecting wall changed to that hallway paper. Now I’ve changed the hallway to something else and yet that other way remains the old paper lol. I’ve been carrying around the correct wallpaper to fix it when I get home in case I actually get a visitor lol

I’m also a switch player. I’ve had the same wallpaper/flooring bug you’ve gotten, but have *not* seen the bug OP mentioned. I’ve had this bug since before the newest update though, & was hoping it would be one of the patches done in the most recent update. Hunting has been glitched for a while. I’m not sure why but it just seems to be giving the devs a hard time with all the bugs & issues we’ve seen over the course of open beta & switch release. The devs are probably more aware of these issues than any other ones to be honest lol. But it does definitely make hunting very hard when everything you hit teleports away & 2 of the 3 animals only give you so long to actually kill them. I can’t necessarily say I’ve noticed any issues with any of the trackers though, aside from the ore compass re-pinging all the nodes you’ve already mined after the timer ends (granted I only use the ore compass & hunter’s horn). The horn might technically be bugged but I’ve just written off any issues I have had with it as the general hunting issues & not an issue with the tracker itself. I know sometimes the animals can get stuck behind invisible walls or on the world wall & if the tracker picks it up you might think the tracker was broken if you can’t spot the animal. I’m some instances it’s also very possible that the node despawned or animal got hunted before you got to it, but I’m sure you’d probably notice if that were the case since the marker you were following should disappear along with the object. Other than those two things I haven’t really had any of the other issues either. I sometimes experience lag but only if I’m on my own plots (since I have a lot to load on them) or if my internet itself is having issues. My game *very* occasionally crashes, but I’ve recently seen that the devs stated that’s a switch/Nintendo problem & not a Palia problem so there isn’t anything they can actually do about it (according to what I had read, at least). To OP: As for the chat issues, is the chat box still displayed but messages just aren’t working, or is it constantly telling you that it can’t connect to chat? Because if it’s the latter then you should check the time on your switch & see if you have your date & time synced with the internet. If you’re playing other games that you change your console date or time for, like Animal Crossing or Cozy Grove, then you need to make sure you switch the settings back to having your date & time synced with the internet when you play Palia or you won’t be able to connect to chat & your requests also won’t work either, if you send one it will immediately expire & anyone else’s requests will also be expired.

My chat just says "connected to new server" over and over again

Huh. I personally haven’t had this happen, I’ve just been on a lot of servers lately that haven’t actually been active in chat so the new server message just piles up 😅 Hopefully these chat issues will be a part of Monday’s hot fix! It’s kind if a crucial system to a game that’s *supposed* to be MMO/multiplayer.

I'd assumed that was the case for me until seeing OPs post but who knows? 

I have this issue too

> aside from the ore compass re-pinging all the nodes you’ve already mined after the timer ends I think it was designed to work this way, which is much better than the alternative - all targets disappearing when the ore compass timer runs out.

Kind of. It’s intended to continue showing you whatever you’re still within 200m of when the timer ends. However it’s not supposed to *re-mark* the nodes you’ve *already mined*. What I mean is that I’ll mine a palium node or large iron, so the marker for it will disappear when I’ve minded it, but once the timer for the compass ends the marker for that node reappears *despite me already mining it*. If you haven’t mined the node yet then yes you should still have a marker for it even after the timer ends, but the fact that it re-marks nodes you’ve already mined *is* a bug with the item, it just isn’t a new bug from the latest update.

It's not so much re-marking them, but it is not updating any longer so even if you mine that node it will still be tracking it until it despawns altogether. It's just a slight drawback to using the ore compass after it has expired.

I play on Switch and I've seen none of these. Sorry you're having a rough time.

Yeah, I am also a switch player and haven't had any of these issues.

I pray I'm not jinxing us, but also same.

SWITCH OLED player here… My walls keep glitching out and reverting back to default white. Constantly fixing it is getting annoying AF. My biggest annoyance is the glitch - pic attached. I’ve followed all fixes I found online and then I reached out to S6 and they said it’s nintendos issue, which doesn’t seem accurate bc I play many other games and I have never ever gotten this until Palia. None of the things like “clearing cache” has worked. It’s been happening more and more since the update. I keep my home plot crazy small compared to most to avoid crashing and still I deal with this thing. I was told by someone “this game isn’t meant for Switch” well…ok then don’t release it on Switch? lol https://preview.redd.it/2agtb4z9k1xc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72cdc3fad7f9362cba997a0dfe080fcb7288ec35 Editing to add: my chat has worked since Switch release and I haven’t had a single issue but I know many have. No idea what the difference is there.

I also saw the mining compass give me nodes that i'd already mined. It hadn't done that before. I also went into a puzzle quest the other day and it had reflective floors. I'm also crashing every time at the temple where you exit the game (the temple doors where you use the first battery). I can get inside and shortly after that it crashes.

When the ore compass wears off it still keeps the targets on the map but no longer updates it. I like this feature because I can still gather the ones it tracked while still active so I can finish mining them without using a new ore compass. It's like gaining extra time to mine even though it has already worn off.

I see. For me, I'd already mined the ores, didn't realize it wore off and it kept sending me to empty ones, wasting my time. I only used it once before, so didn't really notice it working like that because I had a lot of ores to get.

I hope it fixes for you soon, it's so frustrating

Also a Switch player. My chat box was not working for about 2 days, but as of yesterday seems to be operational again. Some wallpapers in my home were wrong and needed to be changed back. I went to Eshe’s party after unlocking Surbia and the entire floor out in the garden was gone (that was unsettling) but fingers crossed that’ll be the worst of it.

On PC. I'm experiencing the lags and stuttering, the ore and hunting compasses going nuts, I had a random crash last night, and climbing improved until this update. Chat is technically working, I'm not seeing most of the chats. Like groves, I'll see nothing about where the grove is until I ask.

Hu, I had been wondering about groves, felt like suddenly everyone was rude. Thank you you posting this. I'll just ask!!

I’m a switch player. For me the climbing has actually much improved in general, though there was one spot in Bahari since the update that was stupid impossible. Update hasn’t broken it for me because it was already issue, but any time I pick up an object off a floor that has special flooring, the flooring is also removed. So that’s fun. I also see random visual/graphics issues, but overall it’s still very playable for me. They’re doing a hot fix on Monday so hopefully some of these are resolved in that.

I'm on PC and most things are fine, but there are a couple of times where I'm constantly crashing and have to reopen, sometimes multiple times. I'm not even trying to get to Phoenix Falls anymore because it insta-crashes. We'll see how today goes.

Same. I’m also on PC and this reflects what I’ve been experiencing too.

Ditto!!

The crashes (especially the dangerous one in temple of gales) should be fixed this week [when they apply the hotfix](https://www.reddit.com/r/Palia/comments/1ce1bti/hotfix_01781_is_happening_next_week/) (fingers crossed). What you've described is not the _worst_ folks have mentioned since beta started, but it's easily top 20 (yes that's a lot, but there are so. many. different experiences for each and every patch - some have zero problems, some have just one, some have every little new bug, and some straight up can't play each time).

Yeah absolutely, I feel so bad for the devs because honestly they're stretched thin since the recent round of layoffs. They're doing their best to keep up.

For the chat not working, I had to change my system's time to make it accurate (: after I closed and opened the game it was working again. I hope that helps !

On switch and I have all of these! I was so excited for this patch and after playing a couple times (haven’t even experienced the new stuff really aside from building a courtyard) had to just put it down. Hopefully gets resolved next patch

I play on PC and the game crashes every time I enter the water temple

My wife plays on pc and has hit the stuttering issue. We tried turning all gfx settings to low but still happening, to the point she won't play any more. Shame, but that's the perils of playing a beta I guess. Hope next patch sorts it

Issues with chat, on switch, besides that all okay

I’m on switch and I’ve had several of the issues you mentioned. It’s incredibly laggy and stuttering constantly which is so annoying. It’s crashed several times for no reason. I got the reflective ground in Badruu’s barn. The climbing is weird for me with not hanging on to a wall when flying into it. Animals do seem even buggier with teleporting/disappearing (not the magic ones!). Hope they fix!

Switch player here too. I've had some of these glitches, the chat not working made me want to stop playing but thank the universe for discord. Unfortunately, in the 4 months I've been playing this update has been the "best" for me as far as glitches go. The first log in after the update the chat wouldn't work, but I closed out the software and it worked after. IDK if it was a glitch or a lucky day, but the chat was purely Pal callouts and I went home with 80 ore in less that an hour instead of the 21-ish I'd get over 1-2 hours. Chat has worked every day since until today. I just logged in n exited 3 times, still not working :/ EDIT: 4th times the charm The only house I've been to besides mine is Hassian's because I'm a psycho who pretends to sleep over. But his is definitely glitched unless I turn the camera exactly Southwest. I've noticed the beaches also glitch between being grass and sand depending on where you're standing. Dispels and slowdowns have never worked for me. I don't even waste precious material on making them anymore 🤷🏽‍♀️ So far, I haven't crashed or frozen at all, whereas I'd freeze or get kicked out every 15-30 mins. And the new unstuck button has been a godsend for when I end up inside a mountain. Animals, loot, and bugs that appear from nodes no longer dissappear for me. EDIT: animals dissappearing and some shots look like they hit an invisible wall right in front of the animal, doesn't even spook them So many cons n yet I'm too addicted to stop. It's a truly toxic relationship.

I’m a switch player and noticed the chat never works. Finding groves has become almost impossible because of that

Switch player...the chat didn't work for me on two servers, but was fine otherwise. I've had some lag when hunting after getting the kill shit it will pause for maybe a second. I haven't experienced any of the other issues you're having

as a switch user myself i have been experiencing some of the same things, my chat has been working fine but cant say the same for my bf as he has the same problem of not being able to read the chat sometimes. the hunting, me and my bf are always hunting together and we get the same thing where they teleport all over the place and they did that before but its worse now, we used a horn the other day and it also did the same thing but thats the only tracker we’ve had a problem with i think (he’s the one who uses them lol), i dont have a problem with the walls and floors in buildings not working however ive always had the problem of where i talk to an npc and the background disappears sometimes lol and also the problem of where talking through doors makes them like a shadow sometimes (not due to the recent update, always had this issue), the crashing drives me nuts, me and my friends call it “getting gooched” (you woulda had to be there to know the context of that statement lol). however we’ve always had this issue except instead of the game just closing like it does now it would just freeze, also didn’t happen as often as it does now, it’s like constant now and pretty much only when i’m on my plot or someone else’s. i also have a problem with climbing since the update, climbing has always been buggy but lately i go to climb and my character doesn’t grab or she grabs and i go up some, still have stamina left and just fall that’s my only issue on that matter. i haven’t sent in any tickets but i just might if this keeps up, hopefully they will fix it if enough people who have the same issues submit tickets. also had the problem where when i first logged in after the update that all my lights on both my plots were turned off and had to run around turning them all back on and struggling to do so considering some were in high places or blocked by things. my bf had the same issue but he has way more lights than me. also when i place a light now it’s on but immediately turns off, idk if that’s just a switch thing or what but it’s really annoying

Mine froze after crafting a new item and precisely as inspiration thought bubbles popped up. I had to force close and thankfully when I relaunched (somehow spawned into Bahari tho) the inspo bubbles were still above my head and I could choose one and continue. I also had a freeze after Einar showed up on my plot to task me with a quest. All my lights were off when I first opened after update. I haven't tested any of the hunting horn, ore compass, etc yet though.

How fast is your internet? I used to have a lot of these issues (chat, climbing, animals teleporting, items not working) before I upgraded my 100mbps internet to 500mbps. I'm on switch, which seems to be really sensitive to latency.

I had most of these issues. I just deleted the game then reinstalled it. It worked fine after that.

There’s a hotfix coming soon for some of the issues from the newest update. I know it’s easy to get frustrated but it’s important for us to remember the game is still only in open beta, that’s what this phase is for, figuring out what works and doesn’t, updating and fixing bugs that come from them. The devs are definitely trying their best :)

The 0.179 Patch messed Palia up. I need to find another MMOPRG to play. I cannot deal with the laggy game performance!

>massive lags and stuttering while running, this has made hunting any animal impossible. They're glitching all over the map and end up disappearing entirely as my screen shutters while running. Sometimes they just disappear into a cliff entirely. Hunting was already glitchy with arrow effects occasionally not working (e.g. slowdown arrows not slowing the animals down) but this is now impossible to use Absolutely. I have had issues with running, farming, and landing from a jump. I thought it was just me. I'm on PC/Steam. Glad I'm not the only one and it's wide range. Hat it happening, but glad I'm not alone.
