Did Palworld v1.0.1 fix the save-data problem?

Short answer

The official v1.0.1 notes say the update fixed an issue that could unintentionally discard save data after certain operations. It also fixed a burning status that could continue after touching a campfire. Update the game before resuming important progression, then verify that the expected world and character save loads correctly before making major changes.
