Affected Models

Common Causes

- Your internet connection is too slow or unstable
- Server is in a different region (high latency)

How to Fix It
-
Try a different server.
The server you are trying may be full or offline. Browse the server list and choose one with lower player count and good ping.
-
Check your internet connection.
Run a speed test. Palworld needs a stable connection, especially for multiplayer.
-
Restart the game.
Close and reopen Palworld to refresh the server list and connection.
-
For dedicated servers: check port forwarding.
Palworld dedicated servers use port 8211 (UDP) by default. Make sure this port is forwarded on your router.
