Palworld Dedicated Server Setup Guide

Someone pointed out that I tell you to enter your public IP into the port forwarding IP address. You should be putting your computer’s local IP address there instead. The public IP is what your friends use to connect to you.

The team at Pal world really need to make this a much easier task....

This is beyond nonsense lol

my palworld server keeps saying "Connection Timed Out" for my friends i dont understand what i'm doing wrong...

I've gone step by step with this tutorial and everything up to inviting my friends worked. I believe I have the correct IP address (no the public IP) and I was able to past the IP and the port code and I myself was able to join the server but my friends haven't been able to join. It tells them server timed out (I restart my PC too just in case) is there a fix to this?

I follow your tutorial but my friends still say that their connection has timed out?

Does this require you pc to be on for people to connect?

how can i do daily backups for my dedicated server?

My friends are having connection timeout issues? Can someone help?

did all the build pal everything on the ori server will lost ?

no fckn idea on how to port forward on fritzboxes. i dont even have an port forwarding option

i dont understand, no matter how many tutorials i do it never works...

I found out a flaw in this tutorial and it was causing me 3 days of frustration. You said look up "Whats my IP" on google and put it in your port forwarding. This is false. you put the private IP of the device (PC you're running your server on) you're forwarding the port to into the internal ip spot. The internal and external ports should be the port you're forwarding. external ip is left blank. The public IP which should be different from the private ip you put in the port forwarding should be the ones your friends are using.

Keep in mind that there is a differance between your public IP (what you can google) and your local IP. Many routers have a slot for your IPv4 adress and will require that one since anyone connecting to the server will already be using your public IP or DNS address to connect to the server. the router then needs to know to what device on your local network to send the data to via IPv4 adress.
Ease to find out by opening your RUN (windows) Hold the windows key and hit R. Then type in CMD into your run window. Once in there you can type in "ipconfig /all" and most of your IP info can be located in there.

i have a server password set in the config file but none of my friends need to enter a password to get into my server? (btw you can check the "password" box when joining the server and upon entering the password it also lets you in the server. so the password is correct but just not needed

This is an amazing tutorial for both beginners and advanced ppl alike.
I've never done anything like this before and was able to make it work (with a bit of fiddling with the port forwarding); took me just over an hour.
I sent a mate of mine (much more advanced than I) this video and he said it was really helpful, was able to put the server together in under 20 minutes.
Keep up the good work! 10/10 will share <3 and subscribe !

Major thanks dude your tutorial is best out right now

i dont have the saved folder

Anyone else getting "Session Search Error: OnFindSessionsComplete bWasSuccessful== false" errors?
I followed instr step-by-step. Is it a user error or game error?

actually saved my behind when making this tutorial you are very easy to understand and follow along with. i hope you continue to make content like this, you earned a new sub out of me!

My friends can't seem to join my server and they keep getting a "connection timeout" error. Any issues of as to what that might come from?

Great video mate, very to the point which is nice to see. hopefully you or someone reads this, i have 2 comps i was going to run a dedicated server on the spare one, but my main rig is far better is it possible to run the server in the back ground while using the same PC to play the game and join the server?

hey, the game had an update and cant figure out how to update the dedicated server. what do i have to do to update it?

I am using Verizon and idk how to set the port forwarding it never saves when I press it

How would I go around using my own IP? that's a huge security concern for me

Great video. Do you know how to used the co-op saved file into the new dedicated server? Me and my friend decide to play on dedicated server with 6 people but using the co-op multiplayer save file.

I have a IPv4 that doesn’t look like any I’ve ever seen(example 10.x.x.x).

Any tips?

so i have 2 routers how would this work

With this method can console people connect to this server or would it just be pc

I would assume my pc would have to be on the whole time and running the palserver app then? Otherwise it wouldnt work?

u lost me at router, i give up lmao. whats with all this port forwarding stuff man smh

My game is lagging is there a way to reduce lag on the dedicated server?

The IP address you entered in the port forward is your public Ip or your computer local Ip ?

It keeps telling me I didn't enter a password when I clicked connect in game. I'm not sure how to enter the password that I set in the settings.ini

Can my friends join the server if I wasn't online?

finally someone who does port forwarding with my version of bell lol.. are you from south ontario?

I have done all the thing in your video, but still cant connect to the ip host

I can't find the palworld dedicated server tools

everything i see until i check for the save file is not there. i am talking about the file save in file.
