  • “Failed to connect to server” error: Server may be offline or IP address incorrect
    • Solution: Verify server is running in control panel and double-check IP address
  • Connection timeout when joining: Network connectivity or firewall blocking connection
    • Solution: Check firewall settings and ensure ports 8211 and 27015 are accessible
  • Server not appearing in list: Direct connection required for dedicated servers
    • Solution: Use the IP address connection method instead of server browser
  • Version mismatch error: Client and server running different Palworld versions
    • Solution: Ensure both client and server are updated to the same version
