Every time Palworld gets an update, you will have to update the servers as well. In this post, we will tell you how you may upgrade your Palworld Server.
Easy Ways to Update Palworld Server
If you are operating your own dedicated server in Palworld and want to upgrade it to the current version of the game, then there are two methods that you may achieve so.
How to Update Palworld Server Using Steam
When the new version comes, you will get the opportunity to upgrade it from Steam. If you have set up the server successfully, you will discover the Palworld Dedicated Server program in your Steam Library, adjacent to Palworld.
Steam will install the update automatically. If it does not do that, open Steam and click on Manage Downloads at the bottom. It will lead you to the page with the pending and downloaded updates for all games and programs. Check whether Steam has already upgraded the Palworld Dedicated Server. If not, click on Download to start downloading the update.
Afterward, restart your server, and it will be upgraded to the current version of the game.
How to Update Palworld Server Manually
If the above procedure does not work and you are still receiving the version mismatch issue, then the server may not have updated, and you will have to do it manually. But before that, you need to generate a duplicate of your stored data in case the files are corrupted.
To achieve so, right-click on Palworld Dedicated Server in Steam Library and choose to Manage -> Browse local files. Inside the folder, open the Pal folder and make a duplicate of the Saved folder.
Now to begin with upgrading the server manually, first, you need to launch SteamCMD. Next, follow these steps:
- Type in “logon anonymous” and click Enter.
- Once it is linked to Steam Public, enter “app_update 2394010 validate” to update the server files.
It will update the server if it fails to do so previously. Launch the server and it will be running perfectly now. If you are still receiving any further issues, make sure you close the game and server background processes or restart your computer. You may also reinstall the Palworld Dedicated Server program if the problem continues. But make sure you generate a backup of server save data.
