Exception: not a compressed Palworld save, found b'PlM' instead of b'PlZ'

When I trying to transfer players I got this error:

Does player transfer still work with the current game version? And may be this bug is caused by cross version player transfer. Because source level.sav is from old version palworld, while target's level.sav is from new version.

Same here

They changed the save structure once more, which means the core system that is being used to extract/compress/etc the saves are outdated. We would need to reverse engineer this stuff then update the code to make the tools work with new saves. Sorry for that.

This error has been resolved in the v1.0.37 update. For those awaiting the character transfer fix, please note that additional time will be required to address some further revisions. We appreciate your patience and apologize for the delay.

Good job, I just tried to transfer the server archive to single and when I followed the steps to character transfer, a new problem occurred, "Exception: could not read 16 bytes for uuid". Anyway, thank you for your efforts, looking forward the revisions

[deafdudecomputers]

Yes, it's work in progress for character transfer fix. I only released this so that others can use rest of features. Sorry!
